Setup assistant doesn't appear!

I bought an ipod nano a couple of hours ago and plugged the lead into the usb port but nothing happened. According to the booklet a setup assistant should have come up but nothing. I don't know if its charging either. I know you charge it up through the usb port but it doesn't seem to respond at all. What should I do?

Look at the tech specs requirements for the new iPod nano. Here it is.

In your one post, you mentioned iTunes 4, what OS are you running on the PC? Look at requirements very carefully mate.
Keep your spirits up! Go to a Pub (if you are old enough) and have a good ol' bitter.

  • Ipod Nano Setup Assistant does not appear!!!

    I am using an HP PC (64 bit)with Windows Vista. I have installed the 64 bit edition of i Tunes, and I have tried EVERYTHING the troubleshooting assistant has suggested (several times) and the "ipod nano setup assistant" fails to appear after I install the itunes/QT and connect the ipod nano. PLEASE HELP!!!

    No.  But you should still have a backup of your user data, including your iTunes data.

    Please help!  I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd_Generation) from a new computer.  I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle.  When using iPod in the 1st computer (which I no longer have), the iTunes Setup Assistant comes up but not on this 2nd setup on a new computer?  The manual doesn't clarify how to do this.  Thanks.

  • HT4859 When setting up my new phone, the setup assistant didn't appear. Where do I find "restore from back up?"

    When setting up my new phone, the setup assistant didn't appear.  Where can I find the "restore from icloud back up" option so I can transfer all my information?

    You have to erase the phone an go back through the setup again.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • MacBook 10.4.11 to MBP 10.8 - Setup Assistant doesn't see drives?

    All
    I just posted this same info in an older thread but wanted to open an original post to ensure it got visibility. Thanks.
    I have an older MB PPC running 10.4.11. I have been using SuperDuper to create bootable backups on an USB external drive (formatted to HFS+). Both the MB and the drive work as start up disks and all is in synch.
    I purchased a new MBP and am upgrading from 10.7 to 10.8. Using Pondini's guides (thanks, http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html) I have tried the following methods but Setup Assistant never sees the source drive:
    1. Connect USB with SuperDuper backup to MBP => Setup Assistant doesn't see it (selecting as a disk)
    2. Start MB in Target Disk mode via Firewire connected to MBP => SA doesn't see it (selecting as disk)
    3. Start MB in regular mode, launch Migration assistant and select to another Mac, MBP select from another Mac.... Never saw the disk and suggested I needed to update Migration Assistant. Reran Software Update and confirmed on latest. No luck.
    NOTE: I had originally setup up the new MBP with an account and did NOT do Setup Assistant to migrate data. Ran into the same problems when running Migration Assistant not seeing the disks in the three modes above. Followed Pondini's advice and did a clean reinstall of Mtn Lion => booted from a USB boot thumbdrive, erased the main drive with Disk Utility, booted off the install thumbdrive with no issues until the disk recognition problems again)
    Is the main issue that I am trying to migrate from too old of an OS X version (e.g. 10.4.11)? I can't find any specifications that say this is not allowed but I can't get it too work. Any help and additional suggestions very much appreciated. I have a family member anxios to get their new machine.....

    Thanks, that's solved it, an incredible time saver!
    The, uh, next issue has to do with Windows clients not seeing the Mac's DHCP server. Mac clients seem fine.

  • Migration Assistant doesn't appear to migrate all user accounts

    Just did a Migration Assistant run from a "plastic" Intel iMac to a Pro, running Snow Leopard.
    There is a duplicate user which didn't get migrated (that's what I want) with a name beginning with "n". But other accounts with names beginning with letters after "n" weren't migrated.
    Is there a way of making it migrate the other accounts? I suspect that it stopped when it found the duplicate user and didn't try to go on.
    I really only need one of these accounts, who was my standard login account on that box,
    I'll try to see if can copy a few items from that user's Documents folder to a new folder I create, <thatuser>'s Docs, and see if I have permissions to use them or not.
    This machine doesn't have a root account set up.

    That worked fine. I have one account (the Imight want to pull, that is, the account with the same username as what's on the machine I'm migrating to.
    But I'll do that only if I see signicant stuff on that account, nd I'll create a temporary account, yank everything I can get from that user's account, and then bring over "duplicate-main" (that's not its name).

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Using Setup Assistant to migrate a 10.4.11 server to a new SL server, and have login panel before hardly anything has happened

    We have a 10.4.11 server, running on an antique 1.0GHz G4 Xserve.  We have purchased a mac mini server to replace it.  The Xserve only runs 3 services:  AFP, FTP and Open Directory (Master).  (We are considering reconfiguring the new server as an Open Directory replicate to another OD master on the network later.)
    I've RAIDed the two disks on the mini and reinstalled the OS.  It restarted, went through the language setup, put in the serial number, etc., and got to the "Transfer the information from an existing server" choice.  At that point, went and made a SuperDuper dmg of the 10.4.11 on a firewire drive.  When that was done, moved the firewire drive to the mini server, it appeared in the box as a choice for migrating from, selected it, and hit "continue."  It went through a couple of automatic screens with progress bars -- but it only took maybe 3-5 minutes, and then the machine rebooted.  It took nowhere NEAR long enough to have copied the data over -- the clone took nearly 3 hours to create, and it's running through a firewire 400. 
    So now the machine is sitting there, with the login panel up.  The firewire drive with the Xserve's image on it is still plugged in, and the blue light on the front of the drive is flashing like crazy.  What the heck?  I can't imagine that I should be logging in to the new server if it is in the middle of transferring data over!  Is it copying data?  If yes, how am I going to know when it's done?  If not, what the heck is it doing and what do I have to do to get it to copy the data over?

    Called Apple.  They said, "Oh, yeah, Setup Assistant doesn't actually work from 10.4 to 10.6"  (So WHY don't they fix it?  Why don't they take the manual off of the web site?)
    Moved on to Plan B.  Hooked the firewire drive to a G5 mac.  Stuck the 10.5 server disk into the G5, and upgraded the firwire drive to 10.5 server.  Booted off of it, changed the IP address and name, upgraded to 10.5.8, tested that our applications all worked.  Then hooked the firewire drive back up to the mini, ran through the 10.6 server initialization, and at the end selected the firewire drive as the "source" for “Transfer the information from an existing server”.  It went through the same as it did when it was at 10.4 -- did a few quick things and then rebooted and none of the data had transferred.
    Now we are at Plan C.  Booted the mini off of the server install disk, and tried to upgrade the firewire drive to 10.6.  Told us we can't because it needs to be GUID.  After saying a few appropriate obscenities, got another firewire drive, formatted it GUID and are now doing a copy from the upgraded-to-10.5 firewire drive to the formatted-GUID drive.
    Plan D is to upgrade the new drive to 10.6 server, try to boot the mini off of it, and if it works, use DiskUtility to copy it to the mini's internal RAID.

  • HP c5180 installer works, but 'Setup Assistant' can't find the printer

    We got a new c5180 connected to our network. The WinXP box sees it. The OSX installation finishes, but the Setup Assistant doesn't find it.
    The HP Device Manager can find it, though. Is there anyway I can get this printer to appear without the setup assistant? When I try to add the printer in various programs, it's drivers do not show up.

    Sorry, the powerbook connects to the lan via an airport express, but it's not a wireless lan (if that makes any sense). The printer's connected via cat-5. I don't think it's the network for the following reasons:
    1) I can browse the net;
    2) I can ping the printer;
    3) XP box can print to it.
    Some other clarifications: It wasn't the HP device mgr, it was the HP Printer Selector that had no trouble finding the device.
    From MS Word, when I go to print, and choose "Add a Printer..." it actually doesn't show me anything. No dialog comes up at all.

  • New iPod...can't get to setup assistant

    Okay, I'm not a computer genius so bear with my description of my problem:
    I am trying to setup my new iPod. I assume, from the Quick Start instructions, that once I get to the www.apple.com/ipod.start page a Setup Assistant will automatically start. I am not seeing a Setup Assistant. What could be the issue here?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Once you get here...
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/
    You need to download iTunes 7. Once that is downloaded, connect your iPod. The setup assistant should then appear in iTunes (it may take a minute or so).

  • Can't Find Airport Setup Assistant - Help!

    Hello All,
    I have been given an airport express unit and wish to set it up to play itunes wirelessly. I have a wireless connection to the internet using a router and want to link airport to this existing network to be able to play music. However I cannot find the airport express setup assistant, the things I have tries are as follows:
    - When I plug in the unit, I get a flashing amber light
    - In utilities the only option is airport utility, setup assistant doesn't seem to exist on this mac
    - Airport utility is unable to discover wireless devices
    - When I put the setup cd in that came with the pack and install, it says 'You cannot install AirPort 4.0 on this volume. Your AirPort software is currently up to date.'
    - I have tried downloading new airport software using software update and it is totally up to date, but I still can't find the mythical 'airport setup assistant' I need
    - All other support articles require the 'airport setup assistant'
    Any advice or hints would be much appreciated, it can't be that I am the only one that has had this problem!
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    AirPort Utility is the successor to AirPort Setup Assistant, so you should use that.
    - Airport utility is unable to discover wireless devices
    The AirPort Express is probably broadcasting a different network ID. You won't be able to see it wirelessly in AirPort Utility without switching to that network. Until you can complete the configuration process, I'd connect the AirPort Express to your computer with an Ethernet cable.
    You should also consider doing a complete reset of the AirPort Express. Press in on the reset button (a small gray button near the connectors), then apply power while continuing to press on the button. Hold in the button until the status light flashes several times.

  • ITunes 7  Setup Assistant does not go away...

    After upgrading to iTunes 7 every time I start it this setup assistant window pops up explaining about downloading album artwork. I have to hit OK or Cancel to get iTunes to open. How do I get rid of this annoying thing. It's like a nag screen or something. I have a store account but it still pops up every single time.
    Any help please...

    This might sound a little unorthodox, but I read it in another thread and tried it out.
    Might want to make sure your music is backed up
    Change your preferences to what you want
    Close all other applications, leaving iTunes open
    turn off your computer using an abortive shutdown (do not use the Windows shut down method) press the pc power button
    After a little bit, turn on your computer
    Open iTunes and the setup assistant should not appear and your preferences are where you set them.
    Worked for me.

  • Disable Accessibility Setup Assistant?

    I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard utility to create a transform file to then install Adobe Reader 11.0.0.x via a group policy.  Upon first running the Reader after installing with the transform file the Accessibility Setup Assistant dialogue box appears.  Is there a way to either disable this or preset the accessibility options to take the recommended settings and skip the setup process using the customization wizard?

    Posted too soon, I found it.
    It's under the Advanced option in the Bluetooth menu in system preferences.

  • TS4062 After using Setup Assistant, devices no longer appear in iTunes for Wifi Sync

    I'm trying to fix an issue that is the result of a bug I disovered, and I'm out of ideas to troubleshoot. I'm hoping you guys will have some more suggestions, perhaps deleting plists or somehow resetting iTunes device syncing so I can start over.
    The bug:
    Using Setup Assistant to transfer data over from my other parition which had iTunes configured to sync my devices causes the new partition's iTunes to NOT show devices in iTunes. When I plug my device in, the option to sync over Wifi is still enabled, but unplugging it still doesn't keep the device displayed in iTunes. Unchecking Wifi sync, clicking Apply, checking, clicking Apply and disconnecting results in the same problem - device disappears from iTunes. But if you go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the Sync Now button is not grayed out. Clicking it starts the sync, but it never gets past the "Looking for iMac" stage.
    I'm in the process of filing this bug with Apple, but I want to include the steps I've followed to fix the issue so they know.
    What I've attempted so far (in this order):
    Quitting and relaunching iTunes
    Restarted my iPad
    Then forcing a sync on the iPad via Settings is the same result, endlessly looking for the iMac
    So then I opened AirPort Utility, clicked my Time Capsule, then clicked Base Station > Restart. After the Time Capsule restarted and the Wifi was working again, I checked back in iTunes to see if the iPad showed up - it didn't.
    So then I turned off Wifi on the iPad, Quit and relaunched iTunes, then enabled Wifi on the iPad and it still didn't appear.
    Note that the exact same thing is happening with my iPhone.
    iTunes 11.0.2
    OS X 10.8.3
    iOS 6.1.3
    Thanks guys!

    Not even deleting plists, essentially resetting iTunes, solved the problem.
    In case anyone has troubles with this and none of the troubleshooting steps worked, here is your last resort, which finally solved the problem for me.
    Use Terminal to delete iTunes:
    cd /Applications/
    sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
    Download and install iTunes
    The iOS devices magically appear in iTunes, without needing to plug in via USB to enable Wifi sync.

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.
