After factory reset is all gone

I'm selling my Mac Air have done a factory reset and reinstalled the operating system of El Capitan. I just want to be sure I'm sure forgot to sign out of iTunes before performing these operations.

It is now possible for the new owner to see my browsing history, keeper password etc, or everything is completely erased?

You must wipe the drive and install the version of Mac OS X that came pre-installed. You can not move from El Capitan to the next owner unless you are willing to provide also your Apple ID and password.

Make sure that you allow out of your computer in iTunes:

2. from the Store menu, choose 'View my account... '. »

3. sign in with your Apple and the password.

4. under 'Computer permissions' select ' All of authorize.

5 allow each computer you have, you might need.

You can do this twice a year.

After you 'off to allow all' your computers authorized, re - authorize each of them according to the needs.

  • Droid Razr UI after factory reset is different.

    Hi all

    I was faced with problems similar to this (Gallery crash after update OTA ICS)

    https://forums.Motorola.com/posts/61d8193cf3?start=46&stop=60

    I've been following the thread and did a reset.

    Now, I find that the problem is solved, but the user interface after factory reset is different from the original user interface that comes with

    Update of ICS. I kinda like the previous user interface. I guess it's Motoblur. Is it possible to get that back.

    Thanks in advance.

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx: Beats Audio In/Out-put pilot missing AFTER Factory Reset/OfficeProgram reinstalling Windows

    Hello

    So about three months ago I had a problem with my HP mouse and browser. both were glitching on screen and does not allow me to type consistently or right-click (to copy, paste, etc.). After seeking help from technology College friends, HP reps (which were not useful since my ch isn't under warranty anymore) and work friends, no one would understand it. I decided to make a setting reset according to which did not help. Then, a factory reset. Finally, it fixed my problem, yay no glitching more! So I contacted Microsoft to reinstall my Microsoft Office. After I have reset a computer and everything was in order, I hung up with them. By attempting to play a video a few moments later, I noticed that my volume is not working. I tried through the Troubleshooting Device Manager (replied 'No audio device found'), by lifting missing audio drivers via the HP Web site (found nothing) and call Microsoft to see what they could do since HP reps no help. So far, no progress is possible except that Microsoft has discovered that he is no longer an audio in/out located on my device. This is absurd! My laptop was purchased 2 years ago for around $500 with award-winning special Beats Audio Sound System. I want to come back. I was forced to resolve the previous question myself and I wa slucky enough to find a way. But now, I am presented with an audio problem I'm afraid that I can't solve in my favor.

    If someone who comes through my investigation has informed business and education with a solution to the please my problem do not hesitate to contact me with your advice and your credentials. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but of course not at the expense of my computer. Experienced responses welcome!

    I hope someone can help me. Manager Microsoft is kind enough and plans to call me again today at 15:00. But, I really don't think there is anything else on our end that we can do. It's all HP to reinstall the audio driver Beats for me once again.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Pavilion DV6 - Freaky blockages, probs even after factory reset

    I have a machine that currently gives me fits customers...

    It's a Pavillion DV6, specifically a M6-1045dx.  He got 8G of RAM and the HARD drive is full of barely 10%.  When I got the machine, he would refuse to run some executable files (most had IE) and anything requiring a UAC elevation cause the application is high (command prompt, Task Manager, etc.) to lock.  Scanned with MS Sec Essentials and spybot... even out the hard drive and scanned with AVG in another PC of office... None of them can find nothing.  I noticed that after I let it sit for a while (30-45 minutes), it gives an error and say a few words about support assistant having to close.  I tried to close all the HP services, but nothing helped.  CHKDSK /F does not give any errors, and the BIOS HP diags gave a certificate of good health.  I couldn't "show processes from all users" in the Task Manager (Task Manager would freeze whenever I tried).  In addition, the system seems to work fine in SafeMode w/network.

    I finally lifted my hands and did a reset (Note: I don't have the minimal reset).  Who took most of the night running.  Then, I made a full round of microsoft updates.  Note that the system was very well throughout the reconstruction process.  Then I restored the owners (1 piece of court reporter software) applications and some data (especially text files and audio files of deposits).  The system ran fine for another 5 boots - two hours.   The last thing I did was to install MS Security Essentials... and he gave me a certificate of good health after update.   I closed the thing and and let stand until the customer arrived there.   The minute that I pulled up, he began to show the same signs as before the factory reset.

    Support Assistant does not start... it's welcome screen just sitting there.  Internet Exlporer will start or the other.  If put in place processes in the Task Manager and click on 'view of the processes for all users', the Task Manager is locked in.  Command prompt oneself too if you do a "run as Administrator".   The owner tells me that if you let the machine sitting (when running) for 30-45 minutes, which will be suddenly started working.   Since then, I tried Kaspersky TDSSKiller to see if it was a rootkit, but he did not find anything there either.

    Anyone encountered this before?  Is there something that I need to update, re - install or uninstall?

    Thank you!

    Mike

    If anyone knows this, it seems that it is a Microsoft Update that threw a wrench in the works.  After a 3rd plant, he went through a whole series of updates, then failed on the last series of 8 or more.   I did a system restore and looked at the 3 updates... do a search on all of their numbers.  Of course, there are a ton of develops griping on KB2870699, alias, "Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 X 64 systems based on.   Delete this update, or run system restore and it réécrirait where it was before you ran it.  I hope this helps some other poor soul avoid the epic hassle he put me in...

  • Slow start even after factory reset

    After significant problems, mainly increasing the response slow time, which no longer responding, slow start, not being not able to uninstall the software and do not restore to any point windows recovery, I performed a factory reset.  I was running Kaspersky, Eset and Malwarebytes - I think that this is the final fall of the computer, but it has never been declared malware that has not been set.

    The problem is, even after the factory reset with NO other programs installed, I'll still have a slow start.  This should not be the case, right?

  • HP Stream 13: Wifi disappeared completely, even after factory reset.

    Hello

    We had a trouble that started with the laptop does not not on one day. We managed to turn it on, but now there is no wifi.

    In programs and features I see there is a driver Broadcom "installed" but there is no version and there is no file size. I deleted and tried to reinstall a new driver, but that stops at half way through and doesn't seem to work.

    In device manager there is no sign of a wifi device, it's as if it disappeared completely.

    I tried all types of factory reset, same one that completely resets all doesn't seem to work.

    I have no way to connect the laptop to the internet because there is no Ethernet cable port. So I downloaded the driver on a memory stick from another computer and it stuck in the said laptop - no joy.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi there @Jeremy169,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is an excellent site to find answers and ask questions. I saw your post on the Forums of HP Support. If I understand your message that you have a problem with the wireless Internet is intermittent.

    Do you by chance have Bluetooth? Is it on?

    I found some material that you can use to troubleshoot wireless problems you encounter.

    The first document that I found for you is called using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 10: 8). This document describes how to use the troubleshooting tools automated in Windows. These tools use a combination of installed applications and online detect and resolve many computer problems, such as problems with networking, system performance and hardware devices. Although automated troubleshooting cannot find and fix all the problems, it is a useful tool which can often save you time and effort.

    The second document, I found for you is called troubleshooting wireless network and Internet (Windows 8). The steps described in this document provide the tools that were found to be useful in solving many problems that can occur with wireless network connections and the Internet.

    The reason why I asked you about Bluetooth technology is because I found a document called intermittent Wireless connection with Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2230 and Advanced - N 6235 Bluetooth Combo Wireless Modules (Microsoft Windows 8).

    Please follow these troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went.

    Thank you!

    Have a great day!
