drumthrasher109 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 When i'm in the beginning, making an accont, I click on create and about 5 seconds later the hard drive stops doing things and 30 seconds later the cursor will change to the rainbow thing. I might reinstall Leopard again since I know what to do...or should I wait longer for it to make the account...

gizmoarena Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It takes around a minute for me. Try unplugging your internet connection when you are creating the account. See if it helps. As far as I know there's no issue with account creation.

drumthrasher109 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Now I can't even get into as posted before, I did the bootfix last night and it got everything working fine, except I waited only like 45 seconds, I should have waited longer. I'll try this again tomorrow. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83237-it-works-but-a-few-problems/#findComment-591339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 TEST Anyway, I got everything working, except, as before, once I click on the continue button at the create your account screen, and about 7 seconds later, the hard drive light stops blinking and everything is basically at a stand still, then maybe 30 seconds later, the cursor changes to a rainbow thing. I've waited 5 minutes, sometimes the hard drive does some stuff for about 10 seconds then stops again. I think the account is created, I can stop, and look at /Users (in Vista/MacDrive) and my account is there. So, is there a way I can skip the welcome screen and go straight to my desktop or the login screen? UPDATE: Still waiting, my second DVD drive just blinked a few times, even though theres nothing in there. Maybe its setting up everything, but really slowly? I remember a month ago when I somehow got Leopard working it made the account fairly fast. UPDATE2: Now I think the hard drive just turned itself off... UPDATE3: 10 minutes...Is there a command in the darwin bootloader I can try?

drumthrasher109 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 I did that and it does nothing. Is there a way to bypass the whole getting started thinger?

Silver_Shadow Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 try this. I had the sam problem. Try using the boot option -x for safemode. That worked for me. Then after you finish the process, just reboot in normal mode.
