hi, keep this in mind iam a noob. i have an acer aspire 3680 and iam trying to install ideneb 10.5.5... i install it but when it gets to the bit where it says tranfere from old mac to this mac after you have chosen your keyboard and language settins... i press 'tranfere nothing'.. it then loads for abit and keeps on doing the welcome screen over and over again. i think i have some settings wrong when i install it on the customise section.

 

so could some1 please tell me what iam doing wrong and what settings i need. also if i need to download anything then please could you post it for me..... also if i have to add anything to the installation dvd (ideneb 10.5.5) then please can you tell me how to.

 

thanks to all in advance and it would be a great help if some1 could help me out. thanks

i think i can help you.....boot in single user mode by typing -s at the darwin bootloader. You need to do this to bypass the apple setup manually. when you get to the prompt type and hit enter after each command:

 

/sbin/mount -uw /

passwd root (type in a password, but you wont be able to see it being typed)

touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

exit

 

 

At the login screen type the word root for your username and the password you entered before in -s mode.

 

Go to system preferences accounts, and create a new account with the plus sign. make sure allow user to administer this computer is checked. logout and log back in with the new account you just made.
