Hello all
Bought the latest Retina MBP. Very nice machine, but pretty useless for my own needs. I need an onboard Firewire port (Thunderbolt adapter brings its own problems with DV capture into FCP) and an optical drive would be handy, too. Prefer a built-in, rather than an add-on)
Had it around 6 weeks,now, and have decided to 'downgrade' to a non retina model, which has everything I need on the machine.
My question is: How can I get the retina MBP back to its factory state (so the new owner will get the welcome screen - and none of my junk/info?) I've done this with previous Macbooks I've sold, but they always had OS discs, to help me achieve this.
Thanks in advance, CB
Can I edit the title of this thread to something more appropriate? EG Resetting MBP retina to factory settings? Thanks.
