  • I'm trying to wipe out everything off my Macbook Pro.  When I get to the disc utility, the erase tab only erases current available space, not all data.  Can anyone help?

    I'm trying to erase everything off my MacBook Pro to transfer the computer to a new owner.  When I get to the disc utility, the only option is to erase "empty space," not entire contents.  Can anyone help?

  • Will a software update erase everything off my BlackBerry Curve?

    My Blackberry Desktop manager says that I can update my 5.0 software to the 6.0 software, but I'm worried if it will erase everything off my phone like my BBM contacts, pictures, music and everything else?

    Hello Makenna,
    During the software update the BlackBerry® Desktop Software provides a option to Backup the BlackBerry® smartphone.
    You can also backup the BlackBerry® smartphone by following the steps shown here:

  • How do i whipe everything off mymacbook pro?

    i want to delete everything off my macbook pro and start over. help me please!

    Boot the computer and hold down either the Command+r keys or the Option/Alt key.
    Command+r will boot you to the Recovery HD Partition and the Option/Alt will give you a one time boot menu screen where you select which drive/partition to boot from. Select the recovery HD partition.
    Once that comes up use Dusk Utility to Erase the Macintosh HD partition of your drisk. Then when that is finished exit out and and select Install OS X. Have the computer connected to your router with an Ethernet cable.

    Hello, if you havent tried the doesktop manager option, you can do it from the device aswell... Just make sure you save all your contacts to your SIM.
    you can go into your Security Options (in Options menu) and select wipe handheld.

    If it does not respond when plugged to a computer running the latest version of iTunes, then it is indeed dead and no content will be recoverable.

  • Can i erase everything on my macbook without.....

    2 questions:
    Is there a way to do the following?
    1. erase everything on my macbook except my itunes account with my music and purchases?
    2. A friend gave me her install 10.6.1 disk and i was wondering if its something i should install and if so can i do that and erase everything on my macbook except my itunes account with my music and purchases?

    Hi....Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    1...use 'iTunes Help' from the upper menu bar while iTunes is the active application to give you options for backing up your iTunes Library ie...an external drive or burn to CD's/DVD's.....type "Backup" into the 'search' box...
    2...From a legal standpoint OSX is only to be installed on one computer at a time (unless she has a "Family" license) ....so if 10.6 is on her Mac from that install DVD it would be wrong...
    ....From a technical standpoint if the install disk is a machine specific disk (shipped with her mac) it would probably not work right in your MacBook...(only the Retail versions will work in a broad spectrum of Mac's)

    I've lost my iPod Touch. Should I erase everything off of it? And if I do, would I still be able to locate it with 'Find my iPhone' app?

    If you want to track it, then put it in Lost Mode. If you erase it then you can't track it.

  • A lady at Best Buy erased everything off my iphone 3gs, now when i try to download facebook app it said it requires ios 4.3. I have hooked it up to itunes and everything but nobody knows how to get the ios 4.3 on this phone. HELP someone plz

    I need help on how to download the ios 4.3. to my iphone 3gs. My mom was using it and everythig was fine but when she upgraded the lady erased everything so it would be like new and now when i try to download a app like facebook it says it requires ios 4.3. and i have asked people at phone places and i have hooked it up to itunes and still havent been able to..when i go to settings then general it doesnt show up any software updates, that whole part is erased. someon eplease help me!\

    What version of iOS are you running? I'm going to bet that you do NOT have a 3Gs. You have a 3G. The highest version of iOS that can run is 4.2.1.
    If you did not save a copy of the older facebook at that could run on 4.2.1 on your computer that you can sync back, then you're out of luck. The newest version (and the only one available in the app store) will not run on 4.2.1. 
    You will have to resort to using the mobile web page in Safari or find a 3rd party app that will run on your phone.
