How to get name and Mac ID off MB Air?

Selling a MB Air, so I need to get my name, registration, Mac ID etc. off it. Any easy way to do that?
Will adding a new account with admin privileges and then deleting my original account do the trick?
Thanks.

Are you sure you have no personnal information in any data files on the system? No credit card numbers anywhere? Passwords to web sites? etc .... If I was selling a system, I would do a secure erase of the hard drive by writing zero's to it (use Disk Utility to do that), restore software to it's original state, then sell the system. If you want to be really good to the buyer, you can scan these discussions to see how to reset the system, so it starts up as if it were a brand new system, allowing the new owner to register with Apple.

  • How to get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my file organization alone

    I’ve organized my MP3 files for iTunes (using Mac OS 10.5.6) on a MacBook Pro. I did this manually since I have over 600 folders and thousands of song files. iTunes had created a mess. For example some albums were split up into different artists, composers or album names. Some files names began with a space or a dash, so they were our of alphabetical order. There were all kinds of nonsence with duplicated files etc. Once I got things all cleaned up and orderly I tried to make a backup of the master list by copying the files to a peripheral hard drive. The backup folders instantly reverted and even compounded the chaos that I had just fixed! If I delete all files from iTunes and reimport I end up with the same mess. How can I get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my organization the way I want it and not revert to the old mess?

    I don't understand.
    If you uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder...* and *Keep iTunes music folder organized*, iTunes will not mess with the files unless you are RIPping them from CD using iTunes.
    How do I change the tags so they are organized the way I want.
    I don't know how you want them organized.
    iTunes uses the tags and puts them into Artist/Album folders based on the ID3 tags.
    If you are not using iTunes to organize stuff and simply naming things as you want, tags are irrelevant to how you put the files into folders and what you name the files.
    When I copy the master list (with my organization) from one peripheral drive to another the files show up with the old names and folders.
    Okay.

  • How to get name of sbRIO programatically

    How to get "name" and "Comment" of sbRIO which I write to sbRIO-9602 in MAX in Identification box (Model, Serial number, MAC address, Name)?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That shows:
     - IP settings
          - IP adress:        136...etc.
          - DNS name:      MyMaster5                   - THAT IS WHAT I NEED, just in wrong place - in MAX it is not in IP settings, that's why i didn't searched for it there.
          - subnet mask    255.255.255.0
          - gateway          136...
          - DNS server      136...
     - MAC address        00800...
     - serial number        16....
     - system state        Running
     - model name         sbRIO-9602
     - model code          7373
     - password protected restarts?    T/F
     - halt if TCP/IP fails?                   T/F
     - locked?                                   T/F
     - use DHCP?                             T/F
    Still there is no "comment" as in MAX. But that's not so important now.
    I have LW Development system 2009 SP1 Profesional, Realtime Development 2009 SP1
    Thanks very much!

  • How do i get ads and pop ups off my computer?

    Mac Book Pro
    Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Version 10.0.1
    How do I get ads and pop ups off my computer?

    Your question is one that tends to bring out the worst of all the bad advice that infests this site. There is, in fact, no need to download anything to solve the problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE DOWNLOAD MAC OSX 10.7.0 BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY I CANT FIND IT

    AS mentioned, you need 10.6.8 & the App Store first, it's not available any other way, & 10.7 instead of 10.8 requires a call to Apple...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

  • How to get names of method parameters ?

    How to get names of method parameters (Not only their type and value) is it only possible during debugging ??
    for example void myFunction(int a,int b)
    I need the "a" , and the "b" The issiue is about the java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler ,
    and its method invoke(Object proxy,
    Method method,
    Object[] args)
    throws Throwable
    I Have the parameter objects themself and their types using method.getParameters() , this is fine ,, but i need the names of the parameters !!!

    If the class file was compiled without debug information included then it is impossible to get the original parameter names, as used in the source code.
    However, If the class file does include debug information, then the method names are hidden deep within the class file. You'd need to parse the class file yourself. Check out a copy of the Java VM Specification for a detailed format of the java class file format.
    It's not a trivial task to parse the java class file, and the VM spec isn't easy reading. You'd nearly be writing a class file disassembler.

  • How to get names of INCLUDE or FORM within included forms

    Hello,
    I want to get names of Include program and included form within included forms.
    I tried SY-REPID or SY-CPROG but these two SYST variables return the name of report program that performs the form, not the name of Include or form.
    Please give me any advice about how to get names of include / included form.
    thanks and regards,
    Hozy

    You can use the statement
    READ REPORT <Report name> into itab
    to read the source code into an internal table.
    Later you can use the "Contains Pattern" operator to get the statements that you need.

  • Hi Everyone,  I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

    Hi Everyone,  I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

    I have friends all over Europe, does it matter what number they use to call me? Nope! All incoming calls are free for me.
    The only time you ever have to worry about which number is if you get charged for incoming domestic/international calls.
    You can tag their number (work/home/iphone) and that may show on the CallerID accordingly.
    It should show, John Doe
    underneath,    work/home/mobile
