[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1790492, member: 83420"] May I just endorse this article and the recommendation to read it. As you are planning to sell, there are several essential, indeed crucial, steps that must not be left out. So please follow the article in detail. I am really referring to signing out of iCloud and your Apple ID so that it s no longer associated with that Mac. Also turning off Find My Mac and signing out of iTunes. Reason: over the years, we have had numerous members buying, or being gifted, a used Mac where the proper procedure has not been followed and they get completely stuck because Apple thinks the Mac belongs to someone else and they cannot update, upgrade or buy apps - and try getting the previous owner to disassociate the Mac with his/her Apple ID!!! Some have even just been given the Mac and even the Admin PW is not known. Just offering advice to save later headaches for the new recipient. Ian [/QUOTE]
