Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, did your MacBook come with DVDs? If it came with DVDs, just erase the disk and reinstall OS X:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and hold the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD.
2. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select the hard disk at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. When the installation finishes, hold the trackpad while your computer is starting to eject the DVD, and turn off the Mac.
Finally, open http://supportprofile.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID and unregister the MacBook, so she will be able to register the MacBook to her Apple ID.
If it didn't come with DVDs, do the same but holding Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting. Note that OS X and iLife apps are registered to your Apple ID, so she won't be able to reinstall them or update any of the iLife applications

  • I just joined CC and downloaded PS. Since I live in Belgium, it is installed in Dutch, but I would like to get it in English. Anyone knows how I can change this? Thanks!

    HI all,
    I just joined CC and downloaded PS and LR.
    Since I live in Belgium, PS is installed in Dutch, but I would like to get it in English. Anyone knows how I can change this?
    LR is immediately in English so that one is ok.
    Thanks!

    Look at this thread for step by step screenshots on how to do this.

    I upgraded to iPhone5 and I need to give my iPhon4 to my wife. How do I change the APPle account to her account?

    it might be better to completely restore the phone. hold down both the home and power buttons at the same time as soon as the screen shuts off let go of the power button but continue to hold the home button and in a few seconds you will get the connect iphone to itunes logo connect the phone to the computer while itunes is open you will get a popup on the computer screen saying that itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode follow the prompts on the screen and you will have a fully factory restored iPhone 4

  • HT4436 is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I used to share everything with my daughter but she's old enough we need to separate the accounts.. I would like to "give" the ICloud account to her, because all of her games are on it.

    Is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I would like to "give" an ICloud account to my daughter. We used to share one, but she's getting older I would like to split our accounts. She has her own Apple ID but since all her games are on this ICloud account, I would like to give it to her and start my own.

    You can migrate your device and a copy of the iCloud data to a new account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your daughter's device won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    The existing iCloud email account cannot be moved to your new account so you will need to give your contacts your new email address if you are giving the account to your daughter.

  • I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help

    It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
      I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
      Does this answer your question?

    I'm not so sure if it's possible that Apple ships internationally. Why not just look into getting one in your country that you live in?

    I would like to buy a Macbook Pro and it would be my first Mac device. I have selected this model MGX82HN/A MB PRO DUAL CORE i5 2.6GHZ/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD/ Iris Graphics device. Please advice whether it would suffice a normal user who works in a management consulting industry with project presentation related software in work ? Thanks.

    instead of buying an Apple USB superdrive, is it safe to use third party usb optical drive ?
    Not only would it be safe but less expensive as well.  The tray loaders are deemed to be the most reliable.  Apple does not support Blueray so avoid that.

  • Can I gift my own album on itunes? Im an artist and would like to give my music to a few people for free

    Can I gift my own album on itunes? Im an artist and would like to give my music to a few people for free

    I would presume you can pay and gift the album as you would any other album, even though the album is your own. Not having any content in the iTunes Store, though, I haven't tried it. You probably can't gift it at no charge to yourself, though, if that's what you mean. I'm not aware of any program in the iTunes Store where you get "gratis" codes you can give out. If you want to give your music to a few people free to both them and you, you'll proably need to get the music to them in some other way.
    Regards.

  • Good day, I would like to use my macbook pro to install windows 7 and it seems it requires a "backup disc" There was not one in the box when I bought this unit. Where can I purchase one? Thx.

    Hello, I would like to use my Macbook pro computer to be able to use windows 7. There are references to using a backup disc that has an apple logo on it. I did not receive one when I bought this computer. Does anyone know where to purchase or get one of these discs? Thx

    You need to have a backup disk drive before you ever make changes to your system; to the partitions and hard drives. Most users at a minimum use TimeMachine to backup their system to an external disk drive, which a WD MyBook Mac 2TB are about $99.
