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.

  • I recently bought this  27 " iMac used and  he restored and whipped  everything off of it.  So i went to buy some stuff from apple store and it asked me to  created apple id  which i did.    when i went to get the ilife items

    I recently bought this  27 " iMac used and  he restored and whipped  everything off of it.  So i went to buy some stuff from apple store and it asked me to  created apple id  which i did.  when i went to get the ilife items such as garage band iphot iMovie  the button said accept.  when i clicked it.  it said  the following ..
    These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
    Please let  me know what to do to  fix this issue and be able to purchase ilife 11  for this computer

    Hi Lance ...
    You can only  re download the iLife apps using the same Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • How do i delete everything off of my icloud account that was backed up last year and backup my phone with all of my most recent things on my iphone?

    My iphone4s was last backed up in november and I am trying to back it up with all of my current data. I do not have enough storage to back  everything up so I would like to delete the existing data on my icloud and replace it with all my recent data. How do I delete old data off of my icloud account?

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • How can i wipe everything off of my computer?

    i use to have a dell laptop and found out that by tapping f11 and ctrl  at the same time, that you could get it back to like when it was new. is there anyway i can do the same thing with my satelllite toshiba laptop?

    Depends on what model you have.  Normally you hold down the 0 (zero) key when you power on the system which invokes the recovery process.  One of the options is to resote the system back to it's factory out of box state.  If it came with recovery disks you might need to boot to them to accomplish this.  If that doesn't work consult your Users Guide which is on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format.  It should have detailed instructions on how to do it.  If that fails, post back with your complete model number.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • How to uninstall google drive off macbook pro

    Cant seem to figure it out. Dragging the app to the trash can doesnt work...

    Does it have an uninstaller?
    If it has an uninstaller, then uninstall the program.
    If not, then drag it to the Trash.
    Most applications on the Mac are self-contained and can be simply dragged to the Trash, unlike Windows with their stupid Registry which is supposed to be kept current with the Remove Software but never really is.
