Missing setup assistant

I bought a time capsule. I've hooked it to the internet WAN to modem via ethernet. I've hooked it to my macbook pro via ethernet. I've hooked it to my printer via USB. I turned the time capsule on. I opened airport utility which made me make up a password. And that was all. It didn't open the setup assistant, and I can't find how to setup for the first time (everything just says it should open automatically). I'm useless on computers (especially apple). Please help - in simple language. Thanks

You can download the previous 5.6 version and install it next to the V6 one just change the name a bit.
No, it won't install on Mountain Lion.
It will run on Mountain Lion, though. If you have a Lion installation, you can install it there, then just copy it to ML. If not, you can use the Pacifist app to extract it from the download on ML.
The name is Airport Utility 5.6.1, so you don't have to rename it to put it in the same folder as Airport Utility.

I think Bluetooth Setup Assistant is missing. Where did it go?

Just got a brand new late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro 13" and am having trouble syncing my Jambox. Usually I just find the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and re-pair it that way, but I can't find that. Is it missing in Mavericks? Possible to re-install?
Any other thoughts about why it isn't easier to pair my Jambox?
Thanks!

Restore iPhoto 9.5.1 from the last Time Machine backup you made before you upgraded to Yosemite.
If that is not possible, try, if you can install iPhoto from the main "Featured" tab of the App Store. It may not be possible to reinstall from the App Store at all, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6 and you already purchased it.

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.

ITunes Setup Assistant Warning Dialogue Box

I upgraded to version 6.0.4.2 and now a dialogue box appears each time I start iTunes.
It is titled "iTunes Setup Assistant" and has the following text: Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
It does go away when I click on the Ok button and I can import and burn songs so it seems be just a nuisance. How do I get rid of it permanently?

hi HaryCary!
Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
for some advanced techniques for dealing with that error message, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
but if you'd prefer to try some quicker and dirtier techniques, you could:
(1) reboot and repair
reboot the PC (very important!) and do a repair install of itunes. go to your add/remove programs control panel, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
if no joy with that:
(2) download and install the GEAR drivers itunes uses for burning and importing
GEAR drivers
use the first link on that page, not the one that talks about "gearsec compatibility". if you have Norton Ghost on your PC, read the instructions very carefully. if you still run into trouble with Ghost after the driver install, see:
Message: "Insert the "Norton Ghost 10.0" disk and click OK." after installing iTunes 6

Wireless Setup Assistant Not Working

I am not able to figure out out to 1) add a client using pin. Which computer generates the pin? The the host or the client? and 2) I am not able to a Windows client. The windows computer will connect the APE, but the APE will not capture the MAC address and add it.
Is there some step that I am missing?

I, too, am having some difficulty in getting the Wireless Setup Assistant to connect an iPaq 2495b to the network. I just get the spinning icon with no apparent action happening.
Any thoughts?

Basic Snow Leopard install with special customization: setup assistant infinite loop problem.

Hi, all,
Based on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1395118?start=0&tstart=0, I'm assuming there's a problem with setup assistant running after a customization install reboot. But I could be wrong.
Here are the details:
MacBook Pro
Clean OS X Snow Leopard install (I was "told" by IT I had to wipe the disk and re-install OS X after backing up personal files).
Installed extras I need/want (in particular, XCode, though I went ahead with the other optional software as well).
Installed the IT supplied "Supplemental CompanyName Installation Disc" (also referred to as "CompanyName Supplemental Installation Disc" ), which is supposed to create a customized, IT supported, setup.
When the supplemental install is done, the system is rebooted.
There is then a "Welcome" screen (starscape, with almost endless bombardment of the word welcome in various languages), finally followed by:
a) select language; b) select keyboard; c) select timezone; d) Don't forget to register your Mac, with a "done" button.
Clicking the "done" button goes to a blank grey screen. and then loops back to redo the "Welcome/language/keyboard/done" sequence, ad nauseum (that is, infinitely repeated).
Per the above mentioned post, I have rebooted to the Install DVD and run disk utility, repairing permissions. No difference on reboot.
Boot to safe mode goes to the same setup assistant sequence, not a login screen.
Another Mac user here suggested checking for /var/db/.applesetupdone, since missing it, or if it's correupt, could cause this problem.
So I booted to single user and checked for this file. It is not there. On the off chance the file is a simple flag and the content doesn't matter,
I did fsck/remount and touch /var/db/.applesetupdone but this did not change anything either.
Presumably, the file must be present and must contain some data. If this is true, can it be created manually and put in place via single user mode?
Or are there other, better solutions someone could suggest?
Many thanks.
Bob

Ah, it seems I finally found something useful, at http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=84825
One of the responders supplied the content of their .applesetupdone file.
I was able to get this onto my Mac, in /var/db, as .applesetupdone (just to be safe, I linked that name to .AppleSetupDone, the name as mentioned on the above site). Note that both names begin with a dot (hidden, in UNIX parlance).
On reboot I was presented with the CompanyName specific login screen. It took a little bit more mucking around with passwords, but I was eventually able to login without any problem.

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.

How can I reinstall airport setup assistant & airport admin utility

It's a long story but I accidentally deleted my support software for my Airport Express (the airport setup assistant and airport admin utility).
I tried downloading the AirPort 4.1 update, but I can't install it because I am told there is a newer version already installed on my computer.
I have no idea how to get the airport express software back, aside from re-installing my OS, which I would rather not do.
G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4)

"There must be something somehwhere on the system that makes the computer think that the original software is still there."
Hi ChezFerranti!
Yes, an installation receipt. Deleting receipts is not recommended.
It's probably best to download and install the 10.4.9 Combo Update, and that should re-insert the two missing utilities into your OS, since it wouldn't depend on seeing a receipt.
The pertinent receipt is "AirPortConfigApps.pkg" in HDD>Library>Receipts. That was the installation of the AirPort 4.2 software Update in July of 2005. It is no longer a separate item at Downloads, except for someone with a Panther OS (10.3). This means that it was folded into a later OS X Tiger Software Update, which is why the 10.4.9 Combo Update should be able to replace those utilities for you. The problem with simply deleting the receipt is that when you install a new version, then you'd get duplicate files of everything else that was part of that July 2005 AirPort 4.2 Update.
"aside from re-installing my OS, which I would rather not do"
There should be no need to do that. The 10.4.9 Combo Update should do essentially the same thing for you, W/O duplicating anything! Best of luck:)

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.

Airport Setup Assistant ...

Hello,
I have had my MacBook a little under a year and I'm trying to setup my Airport. However, Airport Setup Assistant seems to be missing from the 'Utilities' folder.
How might I get it back?
Many thanks.

Airport Utility does the same job as Airport Setup Assistant used to. Run that, and you will be able to configure your Airport.
Cheers,
Rodney

Logic Pro setup assistant?

Hi,
I'm a long time Pro Tools user, new to Logic.
I'm following a tutorial DVD about Logic Pro and they start by showing a Setup Assistant.
They talk about and show a Logic Setup Assistant, which is a separate program that can be launched from the Preferences window in Logic.
I don't have that. I also searched my computer and no assistant is installed associated with Logic.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Alex

I'm answering myself, since I received a reply from the DVD manufacturers. It's because the Tutorial DVD is based on Logic Pro 7, not 8.

New IPOD w/Existing ITUNES, CAN'T download 7.4 & NO SETUP ASSISTANT?

Ok. I have two ipods. Now Three... My One IPOD has been updated with new version 7.4, my other one-(shuffle) was updated with 7.4....but..
I just got the new IPOD and when I connect it to my computer, it does not send me through the Setup Assistant....just tells me that I need a newer version of 7.4 to use the IPOD.
The problem comes when it directs me to the 'Download 7.4 version'...I hit the control key and says "thank you for downloading itunes"..
THe issue is that I already have iTunes and it asks me if I want to replace my existing itunes setup?
I say ok,and save it and nothing....Same screen and no prompts...
With my other two ipods, as soon as I have plugged into my computer; it recognizes it as a new ipod and takes me through to register and stuff....I can't download new version....so I am now in a rutt......
Can anyone help me to understand how I download the new version 7.4 into the new IPOD, so I can get started on the Setup Assistant?
What am I missing here???
Thanks..

OK. Now trying to figure out what you are saying here. It sounds to me like you are only downloading iTunes 7.4 to wherever it is your default location is for downloading and not actually installing it.
From what you are saying above it sounds as if you are only repeatedly downloading it and Windows is asking you if you want to overwrite the file it had previously downloaded and saved.
After you download the file does it give you an option to open or run the file? If so you need to do that. If not you need to find where the file is being saved to (save it to your desktop if your not sure where it is going by default) and double click it to start the install procedure.
The tips here may be useful http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
But honestly it sounds to me as though you didn't actually install it.
As far as the latter part of the question goes. iTunes does not actually get installed to the new iPod. The new iPod Nano does, however, require iTunes 7.4 to be installed.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

HT1338 I am trying to setup my external drive, but when I do, I get a box that pops up that says You can't open the application "LaCie Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".

When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
You can’t open the application “LaCie Setup Assistant” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

PowerPC was a type of processor used in Mac systems before Apple switched to Intel-based processors. These older chips required applications to be coded differently, to the extent that they will not run on the Intel processors in newer Macs. Apple used to include a translator that allowed these programs to at least run, but this translator is no longer available so if you run into an older PowerPC-based program then OS X will give you this error.
