How can I get passed the set up page?

I used Time machine from my old computer and used the external hard drive to plug in my new pro. I'm not sure if I just had a lot to put on the pro that it is taking so long, but it's been sitting on the "Thank You. Your Mac is set up and ready to use." page all night with the rainbow ball of death to accompany. Is there anything I need to do or just wait it out?
Thanks

Hold the Power button until your MacBook Pro turns off, and turn it on. It should start up on Desktop, because the setup was finished correctly.
Setup Assistant got stuck at the moment of getting into Desktop. There's nothing to worry about, if you can use Mac OS X correctly

Apple ID. My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID. My apple ID is not an email address. How can I get past the set-up screen?

I can't change my Apple ID. It would mess all my stuff up.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.

I have just upgraded to a 4S and having trouble on set up. I get to the point that asks for connection to IT tunes and a message appears on my computer saying 'this apple devise hasn't been started' . I have checked that my SIM has been swapped with O2. Help please.

It sounds like you might be on a Windows computer and the Apple Mobile Device Service isn't running. Check this support document with help for that error. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567

You're welcome.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

How do I find out who my iPhone 4S is locked to? I can't get passed the activation screen.

How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.

You can try and restore it from the computer to which you've previously synched. If this does not work, you'll have to force your phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. All your data will be wiped.
