Upgrading to OS X 10.5 Leopard - .Mac Account Information

If you chose to bypass registration and quit Setup Assistant in the previous step, then you can skip this step. If Setup Assistant is still running, you’re only a few clicks away from accessing your new OS and its desktop. But first, you can decide whether to create a .Mac (soon to be known as MobileMe) account.

.Mac Account

  1. The Setup Assistant will display information for creating a .Mac account. You can create a new .Mac account now or bypass the .Mac signup and move on to the good stuff: using your new Leopard OS. I suggest bypassing this step. You can sign up for a .Mac account at any time. It’s more important right now to ensure that your OS X Leopard installation is complete and working properly. Select ‘I don’t want to purchase .Mac right now.’

  2. Click the ‘Continue’ button.

  3. Apple can be very stubborn. It will give you a chance to reconsider and purchase a .Mac account. Select ‘I don’t want to purchase .Mac right now.’

  4. Click the ‘Continue’ button.
