[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1837005, member: 396914"] Airscrew, the fact that it acted that way at start up does NOT mean the previous owner did what is needed to de-register it against her Apple ID. There are endless stories of "but it was new to me" when Apple says it's registered against a different Apple ID. Those stories sometimes end well, if the original owner will do what is needed, but sometimes not so well if the previous owner won't, or isn't known. It's tied in with the serial number and several other ways Apple can identify it over the internet. If you are happy, fine. But if Apple suddenly rejects you as the user, you will have a clue why it happened. [/QUOTE]
