[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1624066, member: 204485"] Believe me you may not be experiencing problems now but if you intend to use the full range of Apple services you will run into problems eventually especially with iTunes Find My Mac and iCloud services in general. This is because the devices' unique identifier will remain registered to the previous owner. This is an article on what should have been done; [url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201065]What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support[/url] If any of these steps have been missed and you can still contact the previous owner get him to complete them (he can do this remotely). After that save any files you have installed to an external HD then follow pigoo3's instructions to perform a clean install. It might seem like a lot of work but you will regret it if you don't.
