[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1607126"] I recently bought the same model MacBook. I can offer nothing to solve the OP's original problem other than what's already been posted -- lose the pirated software, start over under your own account. HOWEVER, I do have one important piece of advice for you, Jacoballen22. GET MORE RAM. The 4GB just doesn't cut it for Mavericks and (soon) Yosemite. I went for the max and got 16GB of RAM for this machine and HOLY MADRE DE DIOS did that make a difference. But even 10GB (replacing one of the two 2GB sticks you have with an 8GB stick) would be hugely significant and make that machine mega zippy! DO EET!! :) [/QUOTE]
