[QUOTE="jenna_boner, post: 1614978, member: 336219"] Hello, and thank you for your reply. I purchased the MBA from a reseller on eBay. I purchased the item for a low price. I know not where the reseller has acquired the item from. I'm just trying to prevent a PITA situation others near me have had to go through. As to your answer "Find My mac works whether you have erased everything or not": -Would Find My Mac be able to communicate given that there is no Mac OS on the device? I didn't do an apple reset or OS reinstall, I erased all partitions on HD including recovery. -I have cleared my NVRAM/PRAM using the keyboard method. I have read that FMM stores info on NVRAM. Would the keyboard method of resetting NVRAM clear FMM settings? Or would Find My Mac still be able to communicate to the icloud service, without Mac OS, a and cleared NVRAM? [/QUOTE]
