HT3910 I don't have my disk's and i want to wipe and then sell my mac

I don't have my disks but i want to sell my macbook pro. Can i erase remove and just plain wipe every thing without them?

If you upgraded the computer's firmware to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, you don't need the disks. Otherwise, phone Apple and order replacements.

  • Firefox thinks I don't have enough disk space, and cancels the download when it's almost finished.

    So recently, I was downloading a pretty huge file for a game (4.5 gigabytes), and it was nearly finished, when an error popped up, saying that there wasn't enough disk space for Firefox to download the file. At the time, I had just enough disk space to download the file (yes, I checked and made sure). The download became unresumable, and I was incredibly irked to find I had to download again, as my download speed is not very good at all. I put it in overnight and made a note of where it stopped, and in the morning, when I checked it, it stopped in the EXACT SAME place, which is at about 4.1/4.5 GBs. I've made a lot more room since then, and I'm downloading it for the third time now. If this happens again, how can I solve this? Thanks.
    Also, it's a .dat file. I have no idea if that has any bearing on what may cause this, but if anyone knows anything, please let me know.

    The file system is a FAT32 Bootcamp Partition, and what baffles me is that I've been able to download and store files that are over 4 GBs before. And while I'm at it, why is it that you say FAT32 file-systems can't store files over 4 GBs? I've never heard of that happening before.
    Many thanks.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • I am trying to update to OS X Mavericks but I cant seem to. Everytime I try to install it, I get an error saying I don't have enough disk space or FindReaperFiles closed unexpectedly. What do I do?

    I am trying to update to OS X Mavericks but I cant seem to. Everytime I try to install it, I get an error saying I don't have enough disk space or FindReaperFiles closed unexpectedly. What do I do?

    That isn't the problem. When I start the download of Mavericks I have more than enough space on the disk drive. However, once it has downloaded and it is attempting to install this error occurs:
    Any ideas where I could re-download FindReaperFiles? From what I can see it's an Apple file but I can't find a download on their site at all.
    Thanks!

  • When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • Photoshop Elements 10, says I don't have enough disk space to install when I do

    I have tried installing PSE 10 several times and each time it tells me that I don't have enough disk space, but will flash up a drive on the list that does but will not let me select it, HELP ! ! !

    Try to make some temporary extra space on C drive, which PSE uses only during the installation process. Once the installation is complete that space should be freed up.

  • Error- Says I don't have enough disk space on external but I do??

    Hello all,
    Anyone know why I'm getting an error message saying I don't have enough disk space on an external drive when  there is over 400 gigs of space available?
    I am copying video files over to the drive  from another external drive and the files total about 30 gigs...
    I've seen other people have this prob but can't remember the fix.
    I have only 70 gigs available on my computer HD but don't see how that is  a factor.
    Thanks,
    Al

  • Was going to reinstall Illustrator CS4 but now realize I don't have a disk.

    I uninstalled my CS4 version and was going to reinstall it. Then I realized that I must have downloaded the original software from Adobe and I don't have a disk. I have a legal serial number. Where can I download a CS4 copy now? I can't find it available on adobe.com and customer support is only available Monday through Friday. TIA.
    Steve

    I phoned Adobe Monday morning and was told that they do not have a copy of the CS4 version to download and that my options were to buy CS5 or find someone with a copy of CS4 that I could borrow. This surprised me -- it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult for Adobe to have a copy available for people who had lost their disk.
    So, as I was pondering my situation, I remembered someplace where my original disk might be. I looked and found it, and have now reinstalled my software and everything is looking good (I am such an idiot sometimes).

  • 17" C2D 2 gHz iMac w/fresh install of Tiger won't boot to desktop; takes me through setup, then instead of normal boot, it re-enters setup. (I don't have install disks)

    Hi, I just bought an iMac from E-Bay, a pre-aluminum, 17" C2D 2.0 gHz machine. The seller told me that he wiped the hard drive and installed Tiger, with a borrowed disk, so I don't have install disks.
    I booted up the computer and it took me through the initial setup process. Everything seemed slow, it took a couple of minutes to get to the setup intro screen. After going through setup, it looked like it was going to go for a normal boot, but it re-entered setup. I went through the process 3 times, and it wouldn't let me choose the same user name twice, so it seems to have created 3 user accounts. But I can't get it to boot to a normal Finder desktop. Safe mode is no-go. I reset the pram, no change. I plan on trying to boot using Linux Mint on an external USB, to see if the hardware is functioning.
    Any suggestions or insights
    Thanks!

  • Registry Error About CD/DVD, and I don't have a disk drive.

    Hey all, I need some help with an iTunes registry problem. On start-up of iTunes, I receive the message:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    The thing is I am on tablet/laptop hybrid (has a keyboard that can be detached) that doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. How can I fix this issue? It is more annoying than anything, and it's only been doing this since the last two updates. I have tried the registry fix, and it still seems to be having the problem. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your response.
    I’m not sure about the version:  the B&H label says, “PSE, 12.0, MLP, RET, UE 001, DV.
    It is my iMac that doesn’t have a disk drive (and by disk drive, I really meant, "CD drive."  My age is snowing.  My first computer was an Apple IIC). Anyway, my laptop, a MacBook, does have a CD Drive.  I am hoping your answer meant that I could load elements onto the macbook and then transfer to the iMac.  Is that right?
    Thanks again

  • I don't have recovery disk and hard disc is also replaced within 2months.can i get the disc free?

    I failed to create a recovery disc (windows 7 64-bit preloaded OS) as the hard disc of my notebook PC of 2000-2121TU/B9K60PA had to be replaced by your service centre (id no.- 4642573737) within 40 days of purchase. I have made request to your customar care to supply recovery disc vide id no.-4685488834 but the person attended my call stated that i have to pay an amount between Rs. 800/- to Rs. 1500/- as delivery charge and that must be through credit card only. I don't have any credit card and I am not willing to pay further for the software i have purchased already but lost due to your product fault. can you help me and tell me what to do in this situation except knocking the door of consumer's protection forum.

    Just download and install.

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.
