Set up a new macbook pro without using voice over

How do I set up a new MacBook Pro without using Voice Over. I can't get past the initial Welcome screen. The VO commands do not work as indicated in the forced tutorial.

Just click the Next and or Continue button. Voice over only starts shortly after you get to one of those screens and you wait to long to input something or click on an option and then Next or Continue. I think at the bottom of the screen there is an option to turn off the Voice over.

  • How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

    How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?  I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over.  It is driving me nuts!  Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system?  I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!" 
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Pamela

    There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
    You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
    The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

  • Can I setup my new macbook air without the voice over?

    I was given a new macbook air as a gift and if it cannot be setup or used without the voice over feature I will have to return it. I cannot imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea. I just want to use it like a laptop.... is that too much to ask?

    I'm having the same exact issue. Got it as a gift, and can't get past the set up. I would try the fix dominic suggested, IF I could just get past the "What country do you live in" question. It won't let me select a country, and so far, can't access anything else on this thing until I get past that part... which I can't, after trying for 3 hours now. 
    The steps given in the 'voiceover' tutorial don't seem to do anything, but cause system error beeps.
    I can't select a country via the 'mouse pad' either.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • Urgent: new macbook pro - without Lion

    I am not from the US,
    what should I do to get Lion for free, I'm entitled for it according to this:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
    but I cant fill the forms since they regarded to US residents.
    What should I do, It's been almost 30 days since I bought it (From Apple Store in the US).

    You got yourself a new MacBook Pro without OS X Lion?
    Consider yourself lucky!
    If you get the free download, make a bootable DVD (or two) of it and save it, delete the installer you can always download it later.
    I wouldn't go installing Lion or using it now until you fully understand it and the bugs get worked out, perhaps about 6-8 months from now. (also third party programs and hardware drivers need to be updated)
    If your a early adopter then by all means go ahead, but if this is your first Mac, better stay on OS X 10.6.
    http://www.eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
    You can also make a bootable clone of 10.6 with Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper on a blank, HFS+ journaled formatted powered drive, it's hold the option key bootable.

  • I want to make recovery partition on my new macbook pro without loosing my data

    i want to make recovery partition on my new macbook pro without loosing my data

    You already have one. Hold command r keys and boot the machine into it to see.
    If your meaning you want another partition to boot your machine normally, like a cloned OS X partition, you can do that this way.
    1: Make sure you have less than 50% of your boot OS X partition filled with data, this can be done looking at Activity Monior.
    2: Another thing, all the OS X data needs to be on the top part of the drive, to make room at the bottom for the second 50% paritition. You can't always tell this easily but you'll find out shortly.
    3: Use Apple's BootCamp software and create the second 50% partition on the drive and then exit it without proceeding further. If it fails or is not large enough, then the #2 above problem is evident and you need to clone and reverse clone from a external drive to shift all the data back up.
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
    4: If you have a second 50% partition on the drive, next head to Disk Utility and select the second partition and change it's format to OS X Extended Journaled and the name to Macintosh HD 2 (name optional of course)
    5: Next download Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the first partition to the second, make sure it's a PURE CLONE in preferences as the default is to save the states between updates.
    6: Reboot the machine holding the option/alt key down, Startup Manager launches and your second boot partition is there.
    This method provides a second bootable clone while portable for excellent sofware protection, however if the drive fails both parititions are lost, so external clones on extra hardware are of course needed also.

    How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC? 

    Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive".  Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

    How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

    At the Apple WWDC 2012 when they announced the new MacBook Pro, the used something to rotate it. What was it?

    Hello Sam,
    strangely enough, it went away by itself, and until now, it did not come back. I also believe it must be soms sort of graphic card connection failure or something like that, it`s very strange though. I also did let it know to the apple store, and explained it, and they were willing to repair it, but now everything is ok, so it has no meaning to go to the apple store, maybe for a checkup, that would be interesting maybe.
    So, I would suggest to keep on using your computer for a couple of days, and shut it down and restart it as often as possible. And when it has not dissapeared after 3 or 4 days, then it`s good I think to go to the apple store.
    If you can post here how it goes or how it went, would be nice, and if there is anything more I can help you with, let me know, kindly, Steven
