With the installation completed, your desktop will display, and the OS X 10.5 Leopard Setup Assistant will start by displaying a ‘Welcome to Leopard’ movie. When the short movie is completed, you’ll be directed through the setup process, where you can register your installation of OS X. You will also be offered the opportunity to set up your Mac, and to sign up for a .Mac (soon to be known as MobileMe) account.
Because this is an Archive and Install, Setup Assistant only performs the registration task; it doesn’t perform any major Mac setup tasks.
Register Your Mac
- If you don’t want to register your Mac, you can quit Setup Assistant and start using your new Leopard OS. If you choose to quit Setup Assistant now, you will also bypass the option to set up a .Mac account, but you can do that later at any time.
- If you do want to register your Mac, enter your Apple ID and password. This information is optional; you can leave the fields blank if you wish.
- Click the ‘Continue’ button.
- Enter your registration information, and click the ‘Continue’ button.
- Use the dropdown menus to tell Apple’s marketing folks where and why you use your Mac. Click the ‘Continue’ button.
- Click the ‘Continue’ button to send your registration information to Apple.
