How to remove all traces of previous owner's name on my ibook?
I am the new owner of a used iBook. Instead of loading the original, outdated, 10.3.9 install DVD which came with the computer, I bought 10.4 and did a clean install (may have been just an upgrade?) Though I changed the Admin ID password from that of the previous owner's, and have no problem doing all admin tasks and using the computer fully and without hassles, I still cannot:
1. get rid of the previous owner's name ("This computer is owned by xxx" appears on the finder's "home" windows)
2. get rid of the previous owner's home folder
Do I have to first do a clean install with the original 10.3.9 disk before I can have a clean version of 10.4 free of the previous owner's name anywhere on my computer? Or is there a short cut, given that it seems ridiculous to erase 10.4, and step back in time, just to change the owner's name?
Any help is appreciated!

While Kappy's advice is spot on, I would consider an erase and install. The iBook would probably be fine if you do what Kappy said. However any computer can suffer from a few corrupt files here and there, even if it is meticulously maintained. If your 'book's previous owner didn't bother to erase his/her home folder, I'd be willing to bet they didn't follow a regular schedule (or any schedule) of making sure the iBook was in top shape. It's overkill I admit, but if I bought a used Mac, I'd erase the HD and reinstall everything. Actually, if I sold my Mac, I'd erase everything and do a clean install before passing it on to a new owner. It could save you from doing the erase and install in a month once you've got everything setup just the way you want and a re-install would be more of a hassle.
But you'd probably be fine with what Kappy said. Just my 2 cents...

Hey guys,
New to the forum and after a bit of advice.
Have just picked up my first MacBook from a friend and am wanting to start as clean/close to factory as possible, removing all traces of their Apple ID and Account info.
Have read a few posts and it seems that my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) came pre-installed with Snow Leopard (10.6.3/10.6.4).
In Linc Davis post here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5350317
he says that "If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple."
My friend is adamant that he received no software with the purchase from new. Everything came pre-loaded.
So I've downloaded OS X Mavericks and created a bootable USB installer. If I do a clean install using this method, will that remove all traces of the previous owner (Apple ID and account info), allowing me to start as clean as possible while still giving me access to the original pre-loaded software that came with the MacBook from new? Once installed, can I then just add my own Apple ID and perform any updates to this software as normal?
Since I don't think it shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, I will be unable to boot into Internet Recovery to try and restore if necessary, before upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks for any help. Hopefully it's not as complicated as it sounds!leroydouglas wrote:

Yes and Yes
OK, so I'd still have access to iPhoto etc., even though all purchases would still be linked with friends Apple ID?
I don't quite understand how this works..
If I do a clean install, and my new Apple ID has no history behind it, how does it know what software was paid for/pre-installed if that account is no longer tied to this computer? -

How to remove all traces of deleted user
I created an user account to troubleshoot an application a while ago (I am using Leopard). Having resolved the issue, I deleted that account. However, yesterday, I had problems with another program, and created another account with the same user name, and found that the account have "remembered" the changes I made the last time I used it (even after deleting it). I was hoping that it will be a fresh install of the user account and fresh settings. Does anyone know how I can do that? Thanks in advance for your help.

V.K. thank you for taking the time to reply. Well, they are there. In spite of me deleting the account a while back, and then recreating the account using the user name. Was a bit puzzled about it, and am new to Mac, so that's why I popped in to ask whether the system does remember the users despite deletion. How can I find out why this has occurred?
I have no idea frankly. it should not be possible. maybe your home directory didn't get deleted somehow when you deleted that user. another possibility is if you use mobileme and sync your ical and other data with the mobileme server. -

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
How do i remove all traces of a print driver
I need to remove all traces of my print driver for my canon printer.
I loaded my canon iP pixma 4000R with a print driver i downloaded. It seems to be a japanese version as the paper standards are all a bit strange. No 4x6 option, instead, something called Hagaki that does not quite fit. Canon says to reinstall the driver from the US website.
When I try to, it always asks me if I want to "upgrade". If I say yes, then I end up with the same print options. I think I need to fully delete and install the driver from new.
I delete the printer from printer list. I've been going through library files, but I don't know what else to delete.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
TonyI would try Printer Setup Repair from Fixamac software. I believe version 5.0.3 is for Tiger. I am sure this program can do the job for you!

How to Completely remove all traces of an applicat...
Please i own a nokia E5 and there is this application named '2go' (.jar app) its kinda like an IM client. When i install it to my phone memory, it works... but aways gets stuck at the part where it loads my friends. But when i install it to my memory card, it works great the first time i open it. Then after i'm done using it, i close it.. Also takes long to close, so i just use the Red button... And when i ty to open it the second time, i get an application error. Please help me on a way to totally remove all traces of this app on my phone and memory card. Thank you!
You should be able to remove it as you would other applications: highlight the icon and press Options -> Remove. Another way would be to find the program in Control Panel -> Application Manager -> Installed Apps and remove it from there. My understanding is that Symbian Platform Security is very good at removing all parts of a program, unlike Windows uninstalls, for example. If it won't uninstall, post the details of what happened.

Can a Mac with OS X 10.4 remove all traces of prior ownership?
I inadvertently posted this earlier to the OS X 10.5 Leopard board. Got a solution for 10.5, but alas this machine is an oldie and will only handle OS X 10.4. Read on ...
I have a many-years-old 600 MHz PowerPC G3 iMac (Snow White) that I'm planning to sell or donate. Is there documentation anywhere on how to wipe all traces of my ownership? I've done a clean reinstall of Mac OS X v. 10.4.1, upgraded to 10.4.11, so there's no remaining documents or settings, but the install required me to enter registration information, e-mail address, etc.
How can I hand off a fully configured Mac that can be customized by the new owner to his/her specifications and that leaves no personal data behind? i.e. is just as it comes from the factory.
Thanks.If you have wiped the drive, (zero-overwritten & reformatted) then go and
install a new system, +quit the Installer prior to the personalization+ section;
then there is no need to 'deauthorize this computer' from iTunes store.
In fact, the only reference to the computer would be, as you mentioned,
in the other records to the owned computers listed as 'authorized' in the
iTunes store itself. Of course, you covered that in a way; but the actual
computer without any online records within it, which has been wiped,
would not be able to reconnect to the iTunes store & the former account.
If the computer had been totally restored from a fully erased hard disk
drive with a new installation of the prospective OS X version, and then
the computer minimally personalized to the point where further OS X
updates to the 10.4 system were done, so it has 10.4.11, all Java update,
last QuickTime, last Security Update, recent browser(s), Flash/Shockwave;
and maybe a copy of OnyX by Titanium Software; etc.
Then, there's a way to have the computer re-run the Setup, so the first install-
user account wiped out; and a new first-run on restart Setup will commence
when the new owner gets the computer home and starts it up.
Except, the computer would already have all available updates installed;
yet would be non-personalized and act like a new computer on first start.
This information, using Terminal or other super-user access, has been
noted and detailed elsewhere in the Apple Support Discussions. And this
is what I was referring to in an earlier post; it removes all traces of prior
ownership and does allow the new owner to not have to figure out how
to go through and update the recent the OS X on an old OS. For some
new users of Mac OS X, they are too lost to even get into this process.
Anyway, hopefully you've found satisfactory results in the paths available
to prepare the computer for a second owner, so their experience is as
good as it can be without any uncharacteristic issues for a new owner.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Hi,
I purchased a iMAC off eBay. I was wondering how do I take off the previous owner name and replace mines? I reset all passwords to log in,but his name in the mac keeps showing up.
Thanks,
Honey
<Re-Titled By Host>Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like. -
Hi TechNet,
I have an MS SharePoint Online (SharePoint Plan 2) team site, quite simple, one document library etc.
I have successfully added all users (E3) within the organisation to groups, and permissioned correctly.
I have added myself (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3) as an External User, and have access to the website without any problems by authenticating with my Organization account e-mail address.
I have a single user (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3), who's setup is identical to mine (Also Office 365 E3).
However, when this user is added as an External User, they are unable to login, and get "Sign In is not complete":
That didn't work
We're sorry, but [email protected] can't be found in the CLIENT1.sharepoint.com directory. Please try again later, while we try to automatically fix this for you.
Correlation ID: dc1f7f9c-092b-20b8-7b35-89348ba22f71
Date and Time: 3/20/2014 7:06:55 AM
URL: https://CLIENT1.sharepoint.com/
User: [email protected]
Issue Type: Partner User Invalid.
I then remove the user using the Site Collection, and using the PRofile Manager, and using Remove-SPOUser, and using Remove-SPOExternalUser. Which is great, he's gone. However when I go to add him back to a group, as soon as I type his e-mail address, it
'Resolves' into his full name! If I have completely(?) removed him form the site, how is he being resolved? And therefore me trying to remove him to re-add him to try and solve the user/directory/auth issue is not working.
Furthermore, upon clicking on said client's username inside SharePoint (after I've 'added him back' of course), his ID, in format: i:0#.f|membership|live.com#[email protected] has an entirely different e-mail address, his Microsoft Account!
I'm assuming he must have been already signed into his Microsoft Account when he clicked on the External User e-mail invite? If so, I clearly do not want this, how can I remove lal traces of his Microsoft Account, given that I have gone to the lengths as
detailed above?
I have already completed these steps: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/148/p/228263/709905.aspx

Evanly.Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond to my issue.
Certainly, it makes sense that regardless of where the invitation it sent, the user would authenticate with their Microsoft ID.
In my case, I want the user to authenticate using their Microsoft Organisation ID, that they use for their seperate Office 365 account.
This is the way I was able to log in, and worked great. With my client, they are unable to access Sharepoint because once they sign in with their Microsoft Organisation / Office 365 ID, they are told they are not in the directory, because their Microsoft
ID is in the directory and it doesn't match up.
I am simultaneously trying to 1) Remove all traces of this users Microsoft ID, which so far using the above steps, has been unsuccessful; and 2) Invite the user using his Microsoft Organisation ID, and have him authenticate with that (which is proved to
work, as my account uses this).
Looking forward to any more suggestions. Thanks in advance! -
I've installed and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1 for Vista 64-bit yet keep getting the message "iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes." I meticulously removed all traces of iTunes before reinstall as recommended and instructed step-by-step on Apple's website. Any ideas how I can get around this, anybody?

Can I get help removing previous owner's name?
I purchased an ipod mini, used, and have loaded a few CDs in it. I registered it online, following all of the instructions. When I am in iTunes, it shows the previous owner's name as the ipod name. Is there a way to change that? Would I have to restore and lose all of the discs I have already loaded? If I do restore how do I then access the place I need to go to in order to change the name? Many, many thanks for any help!

Completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended
I have recently installed Photoshop CS3 Extended but there was a problem with the serial number on the box. Adobe have issued me a new serial number to use. I uninstalled it all but when i reinstalled it, the original serial number is still there. How do i completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended from my computer so that i can reinstall it with my new serial number? This is a full retail version used on a Windows XP system. Many thanks.
don't forget to read the instructions! :)
on that page you'll find this note:
>Start out at Level 2 and advance to Level 3 only if you still have issues installing your CS3 applications. Running this script removes shared components created during the installation of CS3 applications.
>Note: Level 3 is a hidden option and thus is not listed in the main interface. To access Level 3 just type "3"( without quotes) when prompted for the level.
