You are using Rails 4 and the videos use Rails 3. There are some major changes to Rails 4 that cause many errors if you just follow the videos with no changes.

Please read through this, someone wrote instructions of what to do:

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/attraccessible-missing-in-rails-4-heres-the-workaround-for-the-treebook-tutorial

I also recommend you do the ODOT project first (the newest Rails videos). They follow Rails 4. Then once you have a handle on Rails, you can work through the Treebook application and understand what's happening a little more.
