I'm selling my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo in a week without restoring it. What should I delete before I hand over the computer. i don't want ANY of my personal files on there.
(I know the basics already: movies, photos, music, passwords, documents)
Anything else?
I'm selling my old Macbook Pro. I've gone through and deleted all the files, keychains, etc. I then created a new user account, logged into it, and deleted the old one. Is there anything else I need to do to make sure it's safe to sell?
Info:
MacBook Pro 15, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
I want to resell my iMac, so how do I remove the personal information off, as well as things I've installed

Just now I was posting an add on Gumtree trying to sell my iMac, then I went into Dashboard to look at some notes and noticed some black indent- like text, from the Gumtree add. Is this screen burn?
I had a quick search on Google and found out that this happens more in cold environments. My room is very cold at the moment, but I haven't had anything like this happen before.
So, is this something that Apple can fix if I send the iMac in? It's still under AppleCare.
I am considering the possibility of selling my iMac to fund a retina MacBook. The screen really won me over when playing with it in an Apple Store. My iMac specs are as follows: 27-INCH, Mid 2010 Processor 3.6 GHz Intel Core i5Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB256 GB SSD + 1TB HDD It is in flawless and mint condition. I am hoping to get enough to fund the Retina MacBook (around £1500), as I get HE discount. I have a 24" Apple Cinema display I can connect the Retina MacBook to. I will use it only as my home workstation, as I already own a 13" MacBook air. So my Question(s) are as follows: 1) Will the MacBook match the power of my current iMac (I like to edit photos, play some music, play WoW) 2) Is this move worth it, or silly? 3) How will the 24" display look when connected to the retina? Can I use this external display as an "extension"? 4)?

So I buy a MacBook Pro 13 (super local deal) and my second post here is how to sell it! (I'm thinking about selling or returing it and getting the 15.) I have not done anything but the usuall new computer stuff that you walk through up when you turn it on for the first time and downloading Open Office to try it out. What is the best way to clear any data and reset it to factory spec so I don't leave any information?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm still relatively new to the mac world of things so I was wondering how you format a mac? I've never done it before...I've only formatted a PC before. At work we have to sell one of our Macs so we want to format everything off it for security purposes before we sell it off.

I guess the number of people using PPC that still aren't running Leopard but would eventually want to buy it is pretty low, so I'd understand them not selling it in-store. But you'd think it would at least be online.

It's going USPS to a military base overseas.

Anyone tried sharing or selling itune account?
I had ipod touch, i sold it and i will only use ipad + nokia phone + computer.
Most ipod apps are small, they are HD versions very soon. If I keep my itune account and buy ipad apps, most of my ipod apps will be wasted.
I have no music, video...only apps, and they are worth like over 450$. I think if I try to sell that, i may have 50$ at least, I only picked useful, famous apps and games. It's not a big deal, but not a waste. Someone can still use my account and save hundreds of $ buying on their own. Change info and add a card, then the account will work again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI dual boot my iMac using Boot Camp and I'm having problems deleting a bunch of files in my Trash. A short history. I purchased a OWC external hard drive case and I've been going through my old hard drives which originally were used in my Windows XP computer. The drives were contaminated with Windows viruses and so I installed the drives one by one in the OWC case and proceeded to delete files and programs which I didn't need in each drive while in OS X and keeping the files I wanted to save in each respective drive. Now what I'm faced with is a Trash bin filled with Windows XP software (including Windows XP itself) which I cannot delete because OS X says I don't have permission to delete those files.

I forgot my admin password on my iMac recently and so i used the reboot with OS X snow leopard install disc to reset the keychain, but now on my login screen, it used to be just my account name, there is one called "Other" so i went into accounts in system preferences and tried to delete it but it isnt there?is really annoying me p.s. the "other account" isnt actually an account it says "Other" and when you click on it asks for your username and password...so i type in the admin accounts name and password (admin account is the only one on this computer), and it just opens up my admin account.

I am pretty new at the whole iMac thing and the Mac OSX.. I need advice deleting applications and programs. I read somewhere that all you need to do is drag and drop the icon in the trash and it should be gone. Well I tried that with Bumptop and it didn't work. I liked the program a lot and I thought it looked cool but I don't have enough icons on my desktop to run it and make use of it. I dragged the icon to the trash but now I am stuck in Bumptop even with it in the trash?

I'm running an old software, it's Mac OS X, ver. 10.4.11, 2 GHZ intel core 2 duo. Safari version 4.1.2. On the Safari tabs at top, "Bookmark" tab, just under "bookmarks bar"option are two websites that are not websites that I have bookmarked. I can't make them go away. I have tried to right click on them but to no avail. They aren't opened anywhere else. Found them right after a new power up.
