Imac reboots to Setup Assistant

My system has thrown a wobbly, when I reboot it always goes to the setup Assistant, I complete everything and it goes back to the beginning.
I have used disk utility and all is well. Any help would be greatly welcomed,
I even tried re install leopard but still the same problem

ticmic,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If the Setup Assistant appears unexpectedly each time Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard starts up, and continues to appear even after completing all pages in the assistant, use these steps
Start up with a Safe Boot.
When the login window appears, do not attempt to log in. Instead, click the Restart button located at the bottom of the login window and let the computer restart normally. (If the Restart button is not displayed, click the Back button, then click the Restart button.)

  • IMac stuck at Setup Assistant when booting

    I have a iMac that is about 4 months old. I have it set up with 3 accounts (1 administrator and 2 regular limited users). All of a sudden on a reboot I get no hard drive icons or dock and a setup assistant message. I actually went through the setup assistant again and reregistered and it still just comes up. Seems like I am locked out of everything. Anyway, I actually re-installed the OS and still same problem.

    Try the sugestions in this Knowledge Base article; Mac OS X 10.5: Setup Assistant appears after every restart

  • Setup Assistant from PPC OS 10.4.11 to new iMac

    Since incompatible software will not open on a new imac I will be buying, would I be causing myself and the computer problems by simply transferring a clone of my PPC HD, OS 10.4.11, to the new iMac with the Setup Assistant?
    I'm thinking it would be easier to delete the old operating system and apps that have no updates after the transfer.
    Do all the incompatible software and system files get deposited into one folder; if not, is there an easy way to look for them?  And are there any files/folders from the PPC  that might not be in an incompatible folder that I should delete?

    You should know that you can't use Migration Assistant to restore a Mac with Mac OS X Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) onto a Mac with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, so you have to follow other steps manually in order to restore your data to your new iMac. See "Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger to OS X Lion" > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889
    Another thing you can do is to copy the data you want to transfer to your new Mac onto an external disk, and then, connect the external disk to your new iMac and copy it to the hard drive.
    If you want to know if the applications you have on your PowerPC-based Mac will work with your new iMac, open Applications folder, right-click the application you want to get the information and choose "Get Info". Then, look next to "Kind".
    If, next to "Kind", you see "Application (Universal)" or something similar, you will be able to use that application with your new Mac. However, if you see that it's a PowerPC app, you won't be able to use the application with the new Mac

  • 10.5.1 Update - Locked into Setup Assistant loop

    I updated to 10.5.1 using Software Update. Everything went smoothly and I restarted my computer. But when my 20 inch iMac restarted the Setup Assistant came up and had me reenter all the info. After that was done it starts over from the beginning. The Setup Assistant just keeps looping and I can't escape it.

    I had this exact problem and here is what you do.
    Restart and hold shift as it's turning on. Keep holding until the spinning gear starts. It should take you to a log in screen, DO NOT LOG IN, press restart (if restart isn't there as an option press 'back' and then you will see a restart option) and then the computer will start the update.
    I was stuck in this loop for a long frustrating time. But this solution definitely works. Good luck.
    Edit: I also re-entered my information about 100 times, it doesn't over write anything and all your files and settings will still be there.

  • Bluetooth Setup Assistant is preventing me from logging on.

    I am currently using my older iMac in conjunction with my Macbook so that I can reply in Mail which is something I have not been able to do on my Macbook since downloading Mavericks in December.  (Yes, I've tried to fix that and have spent hours and hours and HOURS on it.) The older version of Mail on the iMac still works as it should, so I'm toggling between two computers.
    Now, however, when I turn on the older iMac the Bluetooth Setup Assistant window pops up before I can log in and tells me there is no wireless keyboard connected.  That would be because the keyboard and the mouse are both wired.  For a while, when I unplugged and then replugged them into the USB port, the Bluetooth window would disappear, but not anymore.  I have tried Alt-Apple-escape.... no luck.  I have tried reboothing the computer and holding down C.... no luck.  I have been able to activate the mouse (sometime yes, sometimes no), but it's unable to access the Blue Tooth window/box to close it, or log me in.  It just moves around.  The box/window the message is in is not accessible. I can't close it, minimize it or do anything else with it. 
    I have shut down all my bluetooth devices on my iMac, moved the wired keyboard closer (someone suggested that in an earlier post and although it didn't make sense if it's a wire connecting it); when I was able to log in earlier I closed the Bluetooth preference.... I don't know what else to do.
    I would really, really appreciate someone's help. I publish.  This is deadline. I'm very behind in my work.  I'm already jumping through hoops with the Mail issue.
    I don't remember the iMac's OS X and can't get in to see it because of the Blue Tooth window. This is the old computer I'm not supposed to have to use anymore....
    I found the OS X  It's 10.6.8

    If you're sharing the computer with your husband and you have separate accounts, you should open the Users & Groups preference pane, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then click Login Options and check the box marked Show fast user switching menu... That will relieve the need for either of you to log out whenever the other wants to use the computer. Just select your user name from the menu next to the Spotlight (magnifying glass) icon on the right side of the menu bar.
    As for the Mail problem, try the procedure below first.
    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

  • New iMac--setup assistant confusion

    I've googled, searched here and read the links, but they confuse me.
    Bought a new iMac, Intel, Snow Leopard, still in box.
    Loved my older iMac, dome base, PPC, running Tiger. It died last week (take my word for it), monitor, among other things, conked out. Been running it for a couple of years off a bootable firewire drive.
    Using my Leopard (white) MacBook, I've dragged all my data files from the bootable PPC Tiger drive to back-up drives for safekeeping, then erased them from the Tiger drive.
    Mostly, I'd like to have my Safari and Firefox bookmarks transfered to the new iMac, but if I can, I'd also like to have the actual older Firefox application transfered, too, given I don't care for the newer Firefox I use on my MacBook. But there are a few not-very-significant odds and ends applications I'd like to transfer, too, and maybe there would be some stuff like my printer and scanner settings/data that would be transfered.
    When I bought the new iMac a couple of days ago, the Genius Bar advised me to use the setup assistant the first time I turned on the new iMac.
    But I don't want to transfer my user account/settings to the new iMac, I want a new identity/password. Or iMovie2 (won't work on the Intel Mac)...and so on.
    Besides, I CAN'T start up my old iMac in "Target Disk Mode"--the old iMac is DEAD. All I have is the bootable Tiger external firewire drive. Nothing to boot it with, though. So will that rule out Migration Assistant, too?
    And, no, I live in a rural area, I don't know anyone with a Tiger PPC Mac--otherwise I could boot from my external drive and export the Firefox and Safari bookmarks.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    If your Firewire drive does indeed have a bootable copy of Tiger on it, you can connect that to your new iMac and let Migration Assistant migrate from it to your new iMac. I have not done this but I read about it on the discussions at the SuperDuper website. SuperDuper's head guy specifically said that it was a doable way to migrate to a new Mac.
    I was sort of in your situation recently when I got my new iMac but I was a little better off in that my old flat panel 17 inch G4 iMac running Tiger was still in perfect working condition. After batting the issue around I finally decided against using Migration Assistant and I just did a manual migration by dragging and dropping data files and reinstalling applications.
    If I had to do it all over, I'd probably just use Migration Assistant, but for some reason decided against it at the time. Several posters here have said they've used MA with good success in just our situation of going from PPC Tiger to Intel Snow Leopard. But there are a few hardliners who recommend a manual approach. As I said I'd probably go with MA if I had to do it over again. And if you have a bootable clone you can use MA to go from it to your new iMac.
    By the way, which method did you use to make your bootable clone, SuperDuper or CCC or Disk Utility? As I said, the guy at SD definitely said MA would work on an SD clone.
    Of course not all of your old PPC apps will work on your Intel iMac. But I gather from what I've read that Migration Assistant is "smart" enough to know how to handle the migration.
    You seem to want to transfer only certain selected items so I'm not really sure how to advise you on that. I think there are some selections you can make when you use MA that will determine what gets transferred but I'm not familiar with it since I didn't use it myself.

  • Problem with Setup Assistant and New iMac

    I just purchased a new imac intel (actually 2010 model from MacMall on closeout) and I want to transfer my files over from my old imac - 2004 G5 running 10.5.8
    During the initial start up of the new imac I choose the option to transfer my information from another mac (using setup assistant). 
    I connect using firewire and start up the old mac in firewire mode (holding down T).  After the new mac calculates the files to tranfer I cannot chose the continue button - the button is greyed out.  In addition the remaining space available shows a negative (red number).   This also occurs if I choose to transfer from a time machine back up on an external drive.   Help.

    You didn't mention what version of OS X is on the new system. I would strongly recommend starting over and using Pondini's
    Lion Setup Assistant tips
    or
    Snow Leopard Setup Assistant tips
    depending on what the new system has loaded on it. If you have been using Time Machine or a bootable clone backup for the old system you can restore from that backup rather than having to mess with Target Disk mode.
    If you still have difficulty call AppleCare, they're there to help on this type of issue. The number is in the owners manual.

  • New iMac setup assistant problems?

    I have a brand new iMac literally fresh out of the box.
    I am having major problems just getting through the initial setup assistant.
    I didn't migrate anything this is just all from scratch.
    The setup assistant is very very slow taking several minutes to recognize what I entered from the keyboard.
    Screens were juxtaposed over each with the text overlapping. I can't see the question that it has the cursor in a blank field to answer to.
    It gets hung in a loop asking for Cloud password info. It doesn't see what I typed in and just hangs.
    A very frustrating initial experience with the new machine. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

    Jesse, we could tell you a million things to do, BUT...you shouldnt have to. It's a brand new Mac. Call Apple

  • New iMac: filled out 'wrong' apple ID in setup assistant. What to do?

    Our new iMac just arrived and eager as I was, I ran the setup assistant and filled out my apple ID (except for iCloud, skipped that to configure later) that I have for my iPad and iPhone. But since the Mac is the family computer, why buy all apps and stuff on my personal apple ID? Why not on a new apple ID to do all family purchases for the mac (and maybe for all other devices apps as well, I did some research and think I know the snags).
    My questions: Are these all the services which are now linked to my Apple ID I filled out in the setup assistant? Or am I missing some?
    iTunes
    AppStore
    GameCenter
    FaceTime
    If I reconfigure those four, with a (new) other apple ID, is my 'problem' solved?

    If I were you, I'd set up a Separate User Name and password for each user in the house, so they can sync their own iPhones and iPads. But if all the iPads and iPhones are using the same Apple ID, I guess it doesn't matter.
    Now, I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do, but if you change the Apple ID (and use the new one in iTunes), it's going to cause some problems. You technically can have music and apps from more than one Apple ID, but it becomes a mess. I've got music from three other Apple ID's (I set them up at work for some unknown reason years ago).
    Anyways, if we're not understanding your question, just ask away.

  • Using Setup assistant on new iMac question.

    Hi everyone,
    I just purchased a new iMac and hopefully should be getting it sometime this week. I currently have an older iMac from 2005 running OSX 10.5.8. I will want to use Setup assistant to transfer files, setting, etc... from the old computer to the new computer. I'm wondering what is my best way to do so? I have an external drive that I use for Time Machine backups of my computer. Is it better to transfer files connecting the external drive to the new computer and transfering the files from the Time Machine Backup file? Or should I connect my older computer to the new one and transfer files from the old computer to the new one? Is either way quicker than the other? When I transfer files, will all my keychain passwords transfer as well? Any other tips or information you can give me?
    Thanks in advance!
    Steve

    Hi
    I am also about to do this, as soon as it arrives.
    I have tried to declutter my old imac as much as I can, I've got rid of a lot of junk, and am planning on rebuilding my aperture and iphoto library as there were a lot of missing masters etc.
    My music folder was a mess so I've deleted everything and will redownload from itunes match to the new machine.
    So I'll be transferring user accounts, apps, some files, my photo's and some movies, so there is about 190gb of content, but my hdd shows 230gb used.
    This is mainly my current account has a library that is >30gb. is there any way i can reduce this or de-kruft it prior to transfer? I dont want to end up moving obsolete caches or backups or software updates over to the new machine.
    Does migration assistant act selectively, or just copy the whole folder?
    Thanks for any advice or guidance.

  • Setup Assistant is stuck in migrating from an iMac to an iMac

    Hi all.
    Migrating from a 2-yr old iMac to a new iMac.
    At Apple's suggestion, used Setup Assistant with a FireWire connection.
    Started at 9 PM Friday last night.
    Went to bed at 10:30 when it said still 3 hours remaining.
    This morning, at 7 AM, it said "About 8 minutes remaining".
    Now, almost 1 1/2 hour later, it's still saying "About 8 minutes remaining".
    So. It's stuck. What now? Won't be able to reach Apple for another 1/2 hour, and then I'll be at work...
    Do I Force Quit Setup Assistant? CAN I Force Quit Setup Assistant. Should I physically pull the FireWire cable?
    And if I can, then what? Wipe the disk, re-install OS? Then what? Re-do the same thing (use Setup Assistant)? To eventually get the same result???
    What a pain!
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! (I'll carry the iPad th follow this thread during the day).
    P.S. Monday morning, should I sell my shares???

    My two cents and maybe someone else will come in to correct me, but I wouldn't trust the transfer even if it appears at first glance to be OK. There might have been Directory corruption on the source computer which was preventing the transfer from completing. You'll have to do a hard shutdown and remove the cable. Then I would first erase and then reinstall the system and bundled software on the new Mac using the two discs that came with the computer. When that's done go back to the source computer, the old Mac, open up Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair the Disk. To repair, see "Try Disk Utility."
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    If repairs were needed and the result is successful, then boot back normally and again from Disk Utility, repair Permissions. If no Disk repairs were needed proceed with a Permissions repair booted from the Mac's drive, not the Install Disk.
    Start over. You will get a new Setup Assistant and try the transfer now.

  • Interrupted Setup Assistant

    In the middle of answering the questions on Setup Assistant on my new iMac, the power cord disconnected. The idiot setting up the iMac (me) did not realize that the power cord was not securely in place. When I fixed my mistake and rebooted I was taken to what I suspect is the normal desktop view (no more Setup Assistant). How do I either begin Setup Assistant again and fill in all the information, or check that all the necessary information was already acquired by Setup Assistant?
    Thank you for in advance for putting up with such a rank n00b.

    well, it doesn't sound like you are missing much. the only thing that you need is an admin account to run your computer and it seems you already have that. you can check that it works. Go to system preferences->accounts. Your account should be listed there and it should say admin. also, log out of your account from the apple menu and log back in. if that works you are all set.
    The only thing you might be missing is a .Mac account if don't have one already. I believe you can set it up from Apple web site.

  • Why are Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant forcing me to copy everything from an old mac?

    Hi,
    I 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.  Does anyone know why those check boxes are greyed out and how to fix them.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it.
