New to mac- imac stuck on create an acct page

I have purchased a used imac 700mhz with osx10.3 panther.
it powers on and I am trying to follow the prompts for setup.
I have filled in my information up to the and including the "create an account" page. at the bottom of this page there are 2 choices go back or continue. only the go back is highlighted and I cannot continue registering even though I have filled in the information required.
I downloaded the manual on my other system- which I am using now- a PC, hoping to get an answer, but on the first page of the book it says- once you have turned on your mac and set up your acct you are ready to begin or something like that.. well, I cannot finish set up. So, the manual is useless.
I was wondering if there was a problem with the internet connection. I have dialup. I have the imac connected to the phone cord with a splitter from the jack and a regular phone wire.
I am hoping someone here can help me finish the process so I can see how this system works. Can I get past this page without setting up on the internet? I was really just trying to check the system.
thanks! Kelli

I just installed Panther on my iMac G3 and It appears you select the internet connection after entering registration information, so I don't think it would have an effect. Even when you don't enter any info the continue button still appears to be active, It's just when you push it 'do not enter' style icons appear next to fields that need to be entered.
Something must be wrong :-/, re-install maybe>

    Did you do a font check in Font Book?
    Be aware that a default encoding of UTF-16 as shows in your screenshot may lead to problems.<br />
    The default is Western (ISO-8859-1) and you should change the default encoding to that setting unless you have changed that deliberately to UTF-16 for specific web pages, but even in that case it is better to make the change via View > Character Encoding or set Auto-Detect to Universal or UTF-16.

  • New 20.5 iMac Stuck Pixels

    On 11/1/09, I purchased a new 20.5 iMac. This is my first Mac and I love the machine. Yesterday, I noticed a red pixel near the center of the screen that is stuck. I'm really bummed out because it really stands out on the screen. Any suggestions?

    I say take it back from where you bought it and ask for extange. I don't care if apple accepts a certan amount of dead/suck pixels but for the price we pay for these iMacs, I find any amount of dead/stuck pixels to be unacceptible!

  • HT1310 Mac os x is stuck on creating a user account start up page.  How do I make it actually go through and successfully creating a new user

    Mac is stuck or creating a new administrator account and does not completely do it.  It just goes in circles.  It does not confirm the account was created and does not display the last thank for creating the user message.  Can I fix it from the boot start up page because I don't have a disk

    Well if your on 10.5.8 like your signature says, then you have bigger problems to worry about.
    10.5 isn't supported anymore, so you might as well attempt data recovery (if you dont' have a backup) and call Apple via phone for the 10.6.3 white retail disk.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Then follow this proceedure to erase the ENTIRE disk with Zero's and install 10.6.3, then Software Update to 10.6.8
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    10.6 will run your older 10.5 software and hardware drivers using Rosetta, but 10.7 and 10.8 will not (also requires more RAM and will slow down your machine)
    Over 50% of OS X users are on 10.6 and Apple is supporting it with security updates etc. so you should be good with your present software etc., until you need a new 10.8, 10.9 etc., machine.

  • I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

    I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

    Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc.  If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

  • I ran out of space on my time machine  because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one.  So I copied the old one on the new one  and in addition to that I own a macbook.  So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my  Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?

    Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
    A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
    When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
    If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
    The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much.

    You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14).    And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
    As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update.   The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily.

    I'm not certain what you mean by iMac 2.  Is that the lamp shade model -- round half ball with stem & lcd display?
