How to prepare used iMac for sale

I have an iMac opportunity running Yosemite 10.6.8 I want to sell. I have to wipe the hard drive and can't find a way to do it. It does not seem to have a recovery section of the disk that will allow me to use the disc utilities.

How should I configure on this task?

Friends of David

Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 earlier, when you get to step 5, insert the original disc, restart with the C key or Option key, use disk utility to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.

Mac OS X 10.6.8 isn't Snow Leopard, Yosemite.

  • How to prepare the folio for prior approval from Apple, but not visible on Android?

    Quite possible I just forget something, but it doesn't make sense to me. We have already active application in the App Store and the Google game, with a lot of questions for sale. Now we must prepare a special issue, which will go on sale next week or something like that. So I want to prepare the purchase app for prior approval. Now, we do not have full Folio, just one with a dummy cover.

    Workflow according to the guidelines of the guide to publication is:

    -make public and retail folio

    -submit the purchase app from Apple

    - and wait.

    I did it.

    OK, but what about Android? I even created in-app purchase in google play, set the correct product ID and set as unique, but I still see this dummy folio on Android. I can't buy it, but I see it, and it's not good.

    So how to solve this problem?


    Thanks for the quick help!

    Martin, I've confirmed this with a tester. He said, 'on Android (Google Play), the customer will see all public folios because Google does not provide an API to check what is available for purchase on their servers. On Amazon AppStore applications, the folio must not be visible. »

  • How to prepare the PDF for printer when you print spreads with bleeding

    I have created a 12 - page document that is willing to go to printer. The front and rear cover a bleed on it and not too sure how to prepare the file.

    I sent unique pages with printer in the past harvest files so they can print as a booklet on their end, but this one is a little tricky because of the purge. I have been able to manually create a file of InD 11 x 17 and throw out and export that in PDF with crop marks, but something tells me that this is not the best way.

    For this work, I send you the original InD file so the printer can do everything they need to do to make things, but I would like to know for future reference.

    Thank you in advance!

    A 12-page document would print on 3 sheets of paper, so inside purge (on the back) probably won't be a problem, so you can set it to 0, or let the same thing that the bleed on the outer edges and let the tax to the printer software ignore it (assuming you let the printer do its work to impose). Send a PDF of 12 pages (with bleed) in consecutive order would be normal childbirth.

    But still, when you have a question like this, you should call and ask what they want to the printer.

    I have a historical photo collection b & w preparation for the auction.  How to catalogue each photo with custom comments?  I have LR 4.4

    You will need to type this info in this field in the metadata Panel.  I assume that you want to use the legend, perhaps Title fields, two fields must be empty for you to enter custom text. If you select all images and enter the text, all the images Gets the same data. So think about what you want to pop over there and if you can do so at the same time, or if you will need to do frame-by-frame.

  • Power outage while resetting the iMac for sale

    Hello

    Because I sell my iMac mid-2010 I got it running overnight on an extension (from my room that my office is not sufficiently taken to run my current mac and my old). When I left it, it was the third of the seven scratching (disk/Festplattendienstprogramm utility). I woke up to find that my husband had disconnected the extension cable because he blocked the door of the room to close completely.

    Now, I don't know how much data was actually well cleared. I rebooted the computer, looked at the disk utility and to see that at least the image of the old drive is missing. Therefore, the option of re-purge of disk utility is also missing.

    Because I don't know who will be the new owner I would be sure that my data is eradicated safely.

    Should I just get the Mavericks back and restart disk erasure utility? If this does not work, how I firmly erase any flying over possibly data? Thank you.

    FWIW, the average person would not have the capacity for

    recover data from even a single pass.  Unless you are rich enough

    or a member of a group special Government (NSA, FBI, military, etc.).

  • How can I configure iMac for multiple users (my wife) does not have to log in every time!

    Whenever she will use this new iMac, there is another screen (she says). OK, so I read in OS X EL Capitan "the missing manual" where we don't have to use a password every time. Tried that... seemed to not work, and Yes, I unblock this safety program to make the change.

    Go back, is there a way to set up where when starting, the main screen shows and not the last used screen?

    Thanks to all who can help this old computer old unwhiz.

    Go the Prefs system/users and groups, release at the bottom left then open the Options of connection and use the top menu drop down for an automatic connection.

    As far as beginning with the last used screen you close all applications before you stop? Make sure that you reopen windows at startup to the top

  • OfficeJet 6812: How to prepare the printer for shipment

    I need to ship an Officejet 6812 to a small satellite office.  I managed to remove the tray paper without problem, but the output paper tray seems locked in place.  According to this support page it should just slide out, but it does not work.  http://h20565.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=25522&docid=emr_na-c04467808&docLocale=e...

    How can I remove it without breaking, or is the only way to use a much larger area?  The largest box that we have, without having to purchase one, fits perfectly into the printer, with the exception of the output tray.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    For the printer you have, the output tray is fixed.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thorny problem!

    Unfortunately, LISTAGG was created to the Oracle 11.2. About half of the complexity here is the aggregation of chain, i.e. forming the list of the classnumbers, as '1.3', using only functions available in Oracle 10.2.

    Here's a solution:

    WITH     got_gpno_classnumber_cnt   AS
    (
         SELECT     gpno, classnumber, age_min, age_max, amount

                          )   AS gpno_classnumber_cnt
         FROM    fortest
    --     WHERE     ...     -- If you need any filtering, this is where it goes
    )
    ,     pairs          AS
    (
         SELECT    a.gpno
         ,       a.classnumber
         ,       MIN (b.classnumber)
                    OVER ( PARTITION BY  a.gpno
                              ,                    a.classnumber

  • How to prepare a file for YouTube?

    OK so I honestly don't know where to start and how exactly to describe my problem, so bear with me.

    I'm on the side of publishers video, youngest in my teens to be more precise.

    But I have a passion for creating Gameplay commentaries (you know, I save with a webcam and I record my screen with a screen capture software, then I jumble em' together and ship it YouTube or elsewhere?)

    I recently explored the world of Codecs and things, as before I had not thought much about him.

    Now, I want to download videos from YouTube in HD 720 p.

    I'm a brain jumbled, garbled after trying to do in my head what all these Codecs and say things.

    So basically, I guess I need help on some areas in particular:

    A Codec, it IS what exactly?

    Should which Codec I use to get the most out of HD 720 p?

    Why are there so many different Codecs?

    __

    Can someone explain these things for me, please?

    Thanks to you all!
