Installing OS X 10.5 Leopard - .Mac Account Information

You’re just about done with the OS X setup utility, and 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 Mac 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 install 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.
