OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Install Without Setup Assistant Starting?
May 24, 2012I have a used Macbook and would like to wipe the HD and re-install Snow Leopard to give as a gift. I would like the person receiving this computer to be able to start it up like a new computer and go through the start up with the music and having to enter names and password just like a new computer.Â
Is there any way i can do it (otherwise i will just erase the drive and give the disk with the computer for him to do himself)Â

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Removed Reinstall Drive / After Restart Not Get Setup Assistant
Apr 11, 2012I reinstalled my OSX today. Everything was fine, but I think I erred when I removed the reinstall drive after I hit the restart button. The setup assistant was never prompted and now the screen is blank. How I can reinstall the OSX without logging in or get the setup assistant? I need to redo, and have no clue what to do.

Apr 4, 2012Having had major start up and software problems I decided to do a clean installation of Leopard, did backups and started the installation on my G5! Even though the OS X 10.5.1 DVD was tested prior to the installation to be in perfect condition, the installation quick somewhere down the line. After several attempts it finished and a restart was successful - everything seemed fine and I started with the software updates.
The requested restart never occurred and after 45 min of watching that little rotating ball with no action taking place inside the G5, a forced shut down stopped the process! Since then the setup assistant is all that comes up after start! Trying to start via the installation DVD (C-key during start) or safe boot or single user mode......works! I got a new OS X 10.5.1 installation DVD from a friend - no change! What I can do to at least get to the single user mode so I can clean out the fault from there?

OS X Yosemite :: Why Setup Assistant And Migration Assistant Forcing To Copy Everything From Old Mac
Dec 2, 2014I just bought a new Mac Mini (Late 2014, ships with Yosemite) to replace a defunct MacBook Pro (Late 2008, last ran 10.8.5). I have a local administrative user account and some server and network data that I want to migrate from the latest Time Machine backup of the MacBook Pro to the Mini. I don't want to copy anything else to the Mini. Neither Setup Assistant nor Migration Assistant will let me deselect anything though. All the check boxes are greyed out. Clicking on them does not uncheck them. This forces me to copy everything from the Time Machine backup to the Mini. Then the Mini won't restart.  It won't even boot into safe mode. It just gets stuck in a reboot-loop until I enter recovery mode, wipe the system drive, and reinstall Yosemite.Â

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Migration Assistant Transferred Applications But Not Files
May 19, 2012My intel iMac hard drive crashed. I had it backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner. The technician who fixed the hard drive put SL on the new hard drive. I tried to restore with CCC first but it didn't restore anything. I used Migration Assistant and it asked about duplicate user names so I gave it a new name to be safe. I now have all my apps but no files. I used MA again and decided to use the same user name this time. I ended up with 2 accounts with the same name but no files. I was hoping to end up with the same computer (e.g. same desktop, all files in the same folders as before, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book, Dashboard etc. all organized and acting the same way as before). Every looking and acting the same way with the exception of the subtle changes brought about by SL.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Factory Reset - Leopard To Snow Leopard
Feb 25, 2010I am selling my 2 year old iMac. It came installed with Leopard 10.5, and I have the original DVD's. I recently (about a month ago), upgraded it to Snow Leopard. I was looking at this site: [URL] To get some ideas on how I can completely reset the system, to almost a factory install. Would I have to follow the steps to a full system install of Leopard, and then install Snow Leopard upgrade? Or can I use the Snow Leopard disk, to directly install that version as the clean install? At the end of the process, I would love to leave the system as "new" as possible.

Applications :: Setup Assistant Or Migration?
Jul 11, 2010I am moving from a late 2009 MBP running s'leopard to a new imac which will also be running s'leopard.
Now, I want to copy everything from my mbp such as docs, emails, itunes, accounts...everything. Is it best I set up OSX on the new imac and then run migration or can I connect them both when I first boot up the new imac and run setup assistant to copy everything over?

MacBook :: Upgrade To Snow Leopard - Password Reset?
Sep 9, 2009I took my laptop in to a shop to have a new hard drive installed and the guy in the shop upgraded me to Snow Leopard. I then tried to use migration assistant to get my files back off an external HD and it's telling me my password and/or user name is incorrect. Is it possible the guy in the shop changed it? Is there a generic password when you reinstall things? Or do I need to restart my Macbook using the old Leopard disk?
