How do I start Setup Assistant to activate cellular service

Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, insert a new SIM from your carrier, then connect the phone to iTunes and Restore it. Unless it is a Verizon or Sprint phone; then call the carrier to activate it.

How do I disable Setup Assistant in Accessibility?

How do I disable Setup Assistant in Accessibility? It has completely ruined the look of the page.

Sandy,
I've viewed the link you posted, but that method does not seem to apply to my particular phone. Please consider the version numbers of my phone which I posted above. When I view the Options for Backup Assistant - cancelling my subscription or uninstalling is not an option. The only available Backup Assistant options are:
* Set Schedule
* View Mobile #
* Change PIN
* Help
* About
I suspect this is because Backup Assistant was pre-installed on my phone when I received it.
As a preemptive strike to what I'm guessing you will suggest next, I do not believe performing a "Restore Phone" (a.k.a. Factory Reset) on my phone will allow me to uninstall Backup Assistant either. I believe I saw a post where another LG Cosmos 3 user had tried this, and Backup Assistant was there even after the Restore Phone.
Regardless, I like your enthusiasm. I agree, let's fix this!
Thanks,
Gary

How do I bypass setup assistant?

When I recently re-installed my OS, I migrated (by hand) my iTunes library into the proper place before running iTunes for the first time. I then hit cancel when the iTunes Setup Assistant came up. I believe I have done this previously without problems.
However, this time I get the setup assistant every time I launch iTunes. If I hit cancel, all is fine - my files and settings are all there that had been migrated. But the setup assistant keeps coming back...
Is there a way to let it know I don't need it?

I don't now how to switch that off, but have you tried just letting it do what it wants?
Answer no to all the questions and it should not come back the next time you run iTunes.
Hope this helps.

How do I find setup assistant

When I installed OS X Lion, I cancelled the setup assistant process, intending to complete it when I had the time.
now I can't find it and I think there were things I should have done.
How do I find it now?
Thanks!

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now, no matter what happens. If you’re not sure, STOP.
This procedure is for advanced users only. If you don't understand it, don't do it.
Launch the Terminal application. Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Reboot. The Setup Assistant will launch.

How to rerun the setup assistant after it has already run

Here's the deal. I have searched but can't find an answer to this problem.
I'm selling a MacBook Pro with 10.5.6. I zeroed the drive and did a clean install. I created an admin account and completed all of the software updates. The MBP is now clean as a whistle and ready to roll. A nice touch would be for the Welcome video and setup assistant to run just like a brand new Mac for this newbie Mac user.
How can I make it happen?
I know I can reinstall and leave it at that but then the new guy is going to have to sit through all of the software updates.

yes he will, and that would be for the best. it's possible to do what you want but it will leave the admin account you made on the mac. that would really freak the buyer and I wouldn't want to do it to anybody. as a buyer I would not trust a computer sold to me in that condition.
just do an erase and install, restart when prompted to and as soon as the setup assistant shows up quit it using command+q and shut down.

How to rerun the setup assistant

I deleted previous backups from the Cloud from previous iPhones because it said Inwas out of free space to backup. Now that I have the space theonly way I can turn cloud backups on again is to run the setup assistant. Well the assistant only will run when you upgrade or program a new phone which neither apply to me. Doe anyone know how I can run the assistant manually or otherwise so I can turn the cloud backups back on please?

You have to go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely erase the phone. Then go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as it restores the backup.

Can I start setup assistant again?

Hi all -
I just bought a MacBook Pro for my wife (through MacMall) preconfigured with Parallels and XP. Because it was preconfigured, MacMall set up a generic user account called "user". I would like to run the setup assistant to supply the machine name, settings, etc.
Is there a way to run the setup assistant again or do I need to complete the setup manually? FYI, I am not migrating any info from another computer.
Thanks for the help!

How do I start or fix the print spooling servic e??

My Printer is an H P psc750-== and the only message I get when trying to start the Printer is the Print spooling is not working!
Just what is the spooling service and what do I do to get it woking again?? using Windows XP

The print spooler is where the print jobs go as a queue. You can start this by going to the Contorl Panel>administrative tools> services> then look for print spooler on the list when you click it then you would need to put it in automatic if its off. After that save it by clicking ok and check if it works.

Bypassing Setup assistant and Install assistant

I am trying to do a command line / automated installation of Lion. I would like to know how to restore InstallESD.dmg or OSInstall.mpkg to a blank partition without the Install assistant. I would also like to know how to bypass the setup assistant after reboot.

I am willing to use Single-User mode for creating the first user account. However, before I can even get there, I am unable to bypass the Install Assistant (where it asks for the volume for the OS and agreement). I want to have this entire process automated, starting from the InstallLion.app in the Applications folder, ending with a brand new bootable OS. This is all to be done on a Mac Book Pro.
I tried -
1. asr restore --source InstallESD.dmg --target /Volumes/<target> - But this creates the equivalent of a bootable DVD.
Also tried -
2. installer --pkg OSInstall.mpkg --target /Volumes/<target> - This gives "There is nothing to be installed"
Thirdly, I tried
3. asr restore --source BaseSystem.dmg --target /Volumes/<target> and copied kernelcache, boot.efi and mach_kernel to /Volumes/<target> and added
<key> Kernel Cache <\key>
<string>\kernelcache<\string> to
/Volumes/<target>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
All of the above bring up Install Assistant. What I want to see is a bootable volume with a brand new, usable OS(Lion) on it.
Any help on this with be deeply appreciated.

HT201269 Best Buy started the setup assistant on my new iPhone 5 and now I can't make it sync with iTunes. How can I reset and start over?

I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process. Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account. I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud. I backed up to my computer. And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
Help.

I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account. The Restore kept my phone number intact.
I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly.

How do I start the Setup Assistant???

Okay, so I upgraded to Leopard, but the Setup Assistant got stuck on the "connecting" page during registration and stayed like that for an hour. I had no choice but to cancel and disconnected -- and that froze for another 20 minutes. So, I closed the assistant and rebooted... and now I don't know how to load it up again. Can anyone fill me in on where to find the assistant or how to get it to pop back up again?
Much appreciated. Thanks.

Weird. Well, I did the upgrade only -- just installed the OS on top of the old one, preserving all files and settings. Everything seems to be running smoothly, except for the fact that I can only connect my iMac and MacBook via wireless and not over ethernet cables, but I'll worry about that later. What irks me to no end is that I can't set any preferences for the folders in the dock. On the iMac I can view them as STACK or FOLDER. Right now they're set to stack and there are no other options. I find the stack ugly and prefer folders. When I hold down, I only get:
Sort by > Name/Date/Kind/etc
View as > Automatic/Fan/Grid
Remove From Dock
Show In Finder
Open "[folder name]"
On the iMac I have a plethora of options. Any idea why this would be?? I feel like I've gone insane with no valid explanation. I can't even reinstall. Now it says I have no room left -- which makes no sense at all.

To restore from an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and start over. To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. There is no other way to do this.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this is likely to take some time to finish.

Setup Assistant - (PC with two user ID's) Starts up every time - no prefs

We have 2 ipods, so in my Windows XP PC I've set up one library for "userA", and another for "User B." User A is just a user, UserB is an administrator.
Setup assistant pops up every time I start under UserB (the admin). So, based upon the many threads on this, I looked for a prefs file. In the C\Docs & Settings\userA\ there is an Applications Data folder with several applications folders, including an Apple Computer folder and an iTunes subfolder with the iTunes prefs file.
But userB's (the Administrator) - Docs and Settings has no Applications data folder at all. I tried copying the prefs file from userA into the All Users folder, with no luck. Now I'm hopelessly confused. How can I set up a prefs file when the admin seems to have no Applications data folder at all? (And why is this anyway - seems that the admin account should have all the info, not the ordinary user with few privileges.)
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
To eliminate your worries, two user accounts have the same user name doesn’t mean that they have the same SID. Moreover, the user’s SID remains the same even after it has been renamed.
The SID for domain account/group consists of a
Domain Identifier and a Relative Identifier. Domain Identifier is unique in every domain within a forest, and a Relative Identifier is unique within domain. It is unlikely that two user accounts with or without the same account
name from two forests have the same SID.
The Technet article you mentioned is talking about duplicate SIDs instead of “duplicate computer name or user account”, I will submit a change request to Microsoft about this.
If there are duplicate SIDs when you create forest trust, you need to delete one of them as the article guides.
