How to wipe macbook for resale without disc
I have a late 2009 macbook Pro and I can't seem to find the disc. I recently purchased a new Macbook so I need to know how I can wipe the old one for resale without the disc? Or how I can get a disc to do it?
Call 1-800-676-2775. Pay a shipping/handling fee to get replacement disks. Technically you need to give the original disks, which have all main and "secondary" softeare, plus a hardware test.
Or you can buy an SL disk for $19 that has OSX but no secondary programs like iDVD.

How to install lexmark printer x1195 without disc
how to install lexmark printer x1195 without disc
I checked their site and it looks like Lexmark does not have Mac drivers for that printer for anything Mac OS newer than 10.3. However. if you Google Lexmark x1195 Mac driver, there are some third-party sites claiming to have solutions for Mac and Lion.
In my experience, Lexmark has been hit or miss with Mac support. Some models work with Macs--some don't. If you go shopping for another printer, you might wish to steer away from them. -
How to wipe MacBook Pro without install disk
I bought a new MacBook Pro that did not come with an installation disk. It came fully loaded brand new. I then was involved with an Internet Microsoft scam and need to delete all files and "start over" - I can not find a way to wipe my hard drive without the install disk. Can I delete my files and start over?
They don't come with install disks (DVD). Boot to the Mountain Lion Recovery Disk. Hold down the command-r keys. It helps when your profile shows the operating system you are running on the MacBook Pro. iOS 6.1.3 is an OS for iPhone, iPad not MBP.

How to use AVDocPrintPagesWithParams for printing without any prompt dialog or alert message ?
Hi Friends,
I have a problem to print the pages of a pdf, but with out any dialog box prompt. So I choosed the api AVDocPrintPagesWithParams(avDoc, avDocPrintParam);
But I don't know how to set parameter for 2nd parameter of the funtion. My requirement is I want to print pdf's using default printer of the system i.e. Print As PDF using Abode PDF print.
Page Dimension should be same as previous, with postscript value 3 (best print).
I have used AVDocPrintPages (AVDoc doc, ASInt32 firstPage,ASInt32 lastPage, ASInt32 psLevel, ASBool binaryOK,ASBool shrinkToFit); But it gives an error message for some pdf's that PDF may not printed correctly because font information couldn't be found.
So can anyone let me know please how to set the parameter of AVDocPrintParam, so that I can use AVDocPrintPagesWithParams and do the same job.
Thanks and Regards,
Saffiuddin Sheikh.Dear lrosenth,
I am into an operation where I have check whether each objects falls inside my rectangular region or not. For this I am taking help of BBox and matrix information. The problem is that when I find PDF's those have form or container objects, their matrix and BBox is depenedent on matirx of the form or container containing them.
In most cases by adding(concetinating ) the matrix value of form and the element gives the correct matrix, BBox value, but some cases I am yet to understand the behaviours. So to avoid these form and container for our immidiate project delivery, we are using this option to print the pdf and then process for checking the position of elements.
My original requirement is :
How to know objects position inside a form or container ?
This is just an alternative time being way to achieve the task. But if you have any idea of how to detect postion of objects inside form/container then please let me know. -

How to use only for scanning without installing printer cartridge
I have an old all in one and want to use it only for scanning without installing printer cartridge. I get the red signal of no i9nk and "E" msg in copy no button. If I give scanning request from HP solutions centre I get an error message " An error occured while communicating with thescanning device"
Hello , Welcome to the HP Community! I understand that you are trying to scan on your HP Deskjet F380 All-in-One Printer without having cartridges installed. I'd like to shed a little light on this for you. Some HP printers are able to scan without ink installed, but most do not. If the cartridge lights on the product are blinking and there is an "E" in the copies window, then the printer is in an error state and will not function until cartridges are installed. If the printer is in an error state, that would describe the message you are getting that "An error occured while communicating with the scanning device", as the printer would not respond when prompted by the software. You can check the blinking light combination on the printer and follow the steps in this document to resolve the error state and continue using the device.Blinking Lights on the HP Deskjet F300 All-in-One Printer Series Hope this helps!Thanks so much for posting.

I own a late 2012 macbook pro and looking to sell it
It is a 750 GB HD i7 8 GB ram 13.3 inch. 10.9.1 Maverick OSX
When i started it up (Don't know what version at the time) it was already preinstalled and didn't have a Software disc. So i'm searching through old post and they all say i must have a disc to reinstall the software disc (I never had one) after Wiping the HD.
Question is... Can i just wipe the HD and throw it in the box along with everything else it came with and put it on ebay? I don't care for saving files as there is barely anything on it.

Wipe and factory restore without discs
Hi can i do wipe and factory restore my MBA without the discs , i have them some where but no idea where
We did the same with my wife's MacBook Air before giving it to our daughter, but it is not necessary to erase the drive. Create an account for your wife, give her Administrator privileges, then log into her account and delete your account. Everything you did on the MacBook Air will be gone.
Presumably, your MacBook Air is working well and your intent to 'wipe' it is not therapeutic, i.e., a clean install of the system software to remedy a software problem. If that is what you intend, then you will need to find your discs. -
How to prepare MacBook for new owner?
I'm selling my Intel MacBook Pro and I would like to restore it to factory-new condition for the new owner.
I know how to install OS X from the included discs, but after the installation it launches right into the first-time setup (name, registration, network configuration, etc.).
I don't want to do this setup — that's information for the new owner to key in. But I see no way to exit out of it gracefully, so should I just power down the machine at this point? I assume the next time it's started (by the new owner) it will simply try the first-time setup again.
Is there a more graceful way to exit the installation and shut down the machine without doing the first-time setup?
Thanks.Wow, this is really great. Exactly what I was looking for, except that I'm not sure I have another volume (e.g., FireWire drive) I can boot from to delete the administrator account.
If the timing works out such that my new laptop arrives before I have to ship the old one, then I'll be all set.
Thanks. -

What is the best way to prepare my old MacBook for resale?
I recently upgraded to a MacBook pro and was wondering what the best method would be to clear my old one of all of the data so I can sell it? Thanks
Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box. -
