jadajada Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have installed Lion after following the instructions on the wiki. I cannot get past the setup assistant. It asks me for country, keyboard, and wi-fi. All is well. It then asks to restore from another machine, I chose no. The I get to the apple-id. I cannot simply choose continue without typing in my id. The option is greyed out. After typing in my apple-id it continues to "communicating with apple". It just keeps doing this and nothing happens. Is there a way to bypass this process? Thanks!

Administrators Syonagar Posted February 19, 2012 Administrators Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi... Try boot into safe mode with "mach_kernel -v -f -s". Then type "/sbin/fsck -fy" . "/sbin/mount -uw /" . Lastly, "touch /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone" and "exit" . Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadajada Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 This worked fine! However I ended up at the loginscreen with no user added... I rebooted to single mode and activated the root user. Got in ok! But a bunch of stuff didn't work in Lion so I went back to 10.6.8. But thank you for the tip!
