My problems are that when I try to weight a body, and for example I finished weighting the arm, then I weight the head, and MAGICALLY the arm bones doesn't work when I try them out. Do you know why???

i added the bones then i tried moving it , why is it that the bines move and the material with the bones doesnt move?

You never weighted the bones. That's why they won't move anything.

No, there used to be one around dA. I know because I've ripped the models before.
But you need a program to do it.

But the new bone won't move with the body; it stays in the same place, floating in the middle of nowhere while my model is dancing D;

It's quite alright. 
Just read through my tutorial and realized that I don't have anything on the parent bones... Need to add that.
Alright, so it sounds like you're having problems with the parent bone. Alright, first off, you should go to the 'bones tab'. Scroll down to your bone.
If you haven't done anything with the parent bone, then it should appear as -1 in one of the boxes. That is the parent bone.
Now scroll through the list until you find the bone you want the bone you created to move with. Right next to the bone's name is it's number.
Once you put that number in the 'parent bone' box then it should be working.
Hope that helped you!

When I was testing the model and the bone attached, I was actually so happy that I spazzed out a little. Thanks again!
