Is erasing free memory securely enough to sell MBP

I am selling my 2011 MacBook Pro with AppleCare on eBay. I have my information backed up via TimeMachine. I was wondering what steps to take to securely delete my information from the MBP. There is an option in disk utility that will erase free disk space by writinig over the data X amount of times. If I delete my account and set up a new one, then delete all the free space with disk utility, would this be enough security for me to be at ease selling my MBP? I am running the latest version of Lion.

Depends on how paranoid you are.  It's overkill for me, but maybe not for you.  Only you can make that decision.

  • 'erase free space' not secure - it doesn't seem to work?

    Just wanted to point out that the erase free space option in Mountain Lion does not seem to work, at all.
    A week ago I ran erase free space on my primary data drive then later, out of curiosity, I ran an inexpensive third party recovery program on the disk just to see what happened. Interestingly enough the recovery software was able to find and restore files that I had deleted over a year ago.
    This has me thinking, so today I tried it again, only with a 7 pass erase this time. Nope, same thing. After a 7 pass erase (erase free space) this low end, less than $35 recovery software turns up tons of files, everything from stuff I just deleted a few days ago to stuff from over a year ago.
    If I'm doing something wrong I would love for someone to point it out to me. Not that I'm toting state secrets or anything on my mac, but still - my privacy is important to me and I assume it is to others.
    I'd encourage folks to try this out for themselves.
    My set up is a 2011 macbook pro with an SSD as the boot drive, I've got a second harddrive installed in the optical bay and this is where my home folder lives. The secondary drive is the drive where I'm running erase free space.
    The only thing that I can think of is that, even though the button is not greyed out, maybe I need to be booted to recovery in order to succesfully run erase free space on system drives?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated, otherwise this seems like a pretty ugly security lapse on the part of Apple. Imagine if you're selling your machine and secure erasing before turnign it over to its new owner - and the new owner can run a $35 dollar recovery program and access everything on your machine.
    Not good. 

    Thanks for your response, William.
    I think that the issue may have to do with being booted to the system while trying to erase free space. I ran a 7 pass erase free space on a 1TB external Lacie drive this afternoon, the operation took a bit over 6 hours to complete and recovery sofatware is turning up nothing.
    This is in contrast to the main drive, which my original post referenced, which is a 500gb 7200 rpm internal drive. A 7 pass secure erase took less than 5 minutes to complete - so, even though the drive is 1/2 the size, there's obviously something not right with the 7 minutes time to complete.
    Tomorrow I'm going to try either booting to another account (which doesn't utilize this partcular disk) or booting to recovery and seeing what happens.
    I have a feeling that this will solve the problem - I'll post back tomorrow evening. 

  • Secure Erase Free Space

    Secure Erase Free Space Failed
    Secure Erase Free Space failed with the error:
    Couldn't create temporary file.
    Hello, I own a 15" Macbook Pro 2011 Late model but I recently replaced the hard drive with SSD and upgraded the memory to 16gb. It was working fine for about 4 months and now sometime it freezes while browsing or even opening an application. I had to restart the macbook and sometime I would get a white screen. I was able to get by the white screen by restarting constantly. I am afraid to shut this macbook down and end up with a white screen. While I got through the white screen, I was able to use the disk utility and got this message when I was cleaning up free space. My SSD has 431.82 GB free of 478.89 GB. Can anyone tell me where do I locate the temporary file or is there something else I need to fix? Please let me know. Thank you.
    Vincent

    I understands that.
    But heres what Im talking about

  • Secure erase free space on SSHD

    I have a 500Gb Toshiba SSHD installed inside my MacBook as a replacement startup drive. Using Disk Utility I have tried to erase/overwrite the free space on this HD. The "Erase Free Space" button is grayed out and hovering gives the following message: "Erasing free space not available on this type of drive".
    Is there anything I can safely do to erase free space? Since I have deleted a large number of files from the HD to free up space for future work, I am just trying to be security conscious.
    An aside: I have wondered if with a SSHD there is less or even no need to erase free space as there might be no residue in the memory locations to permit recovery like there is with a conventional HD, but this is speculation on my part.
    Thanks, John

    A Solid State Device never writes to the same place that you read the data from.  The SSD hardware logic always allocates a new pre-cleared sector and writes to that sector, and the hardware maps that sector to the logical offset for the previous sector.  The previous sector is released to the SSD hardware to be pre-cleared at some future time for reuse as a place to write.
    So zeroing SSD storage just reduces the life of the drive without actually zeroing the data you desire.
    If Mac OS X is detecting that your SSHD has an SSD component, it will not do anything to shorten the life of the SSD component by doing things that are not doing what you expect (aka securely erasing data, which the SSD will NOT be doing).
    If you are using an SSD type device, the ONLY way to make sure deleted files are secure after deletion is to enable FileVault so that the entire disk is ALWAYS encrypted so that deleted files are just random bits to anyone trying to access the data without the disk encryption keys.

  • There is not enough free memory to run this program

    Hi all,
    I am running into an issue with OfficeXP SP3 that has been virtualized using ZAV 8.0.1 and registered using the msi method. First, when you try to open a document from a web browser (Firefox in my case) it will open the downloads window and show the file but never launch the virtualized Office. Then if you try double-clicking on the document in the downloads window, nothing happens. If you open the folder that the document was saved to and double-click on it nothing happens. If you go into open with and choose the virtualized officexp it gives this error: "There is not enough free memory to run this program. Quit one or more programs, and then try again."
    Now here is the really odd thing, you can double-click on a word/excel/etc document in MyDocuments, a network drive, anywhere and it will open the appropriate officexp application just fine. I will also mention that firefox is virtualized as well but the same process works fine with openoffice.org.
    This also happens if you choose to save the file to a specific location. It cannot be opened. However I just discovered that if you move it to somewhere else, say the desktop, it will open just fine.
    Anyone have an idea what might be causing this issue? Is it somehow related to the sandbox?
    Thanks,

    Look in the class section of the registry for the FF virt app... See if some of the same extentions are in there.
    I would guess that FF has its own file associations for those document types and that is whats failing.
    If you remove the file association conents (but leave the folder and set isoation to writecopy) then the FF virt should be able to view and use the workstation file associations for the virt XP.

  • Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError although enough free memory left

    hi there,
    i am facing a strange problem. i get a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError although my gc monitoring (wily introscope) shows that there is enough free memory left.
    so my question is what can lead to a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. is it possible that a full generation space can lead to an OutOfMemory? I thought that in this case the garbarge collector would move live objects to the next generation?
    my settings are:
    - JVM 1.4.2
    -XX:NewSize=64m
    -XX:MaxNewSize=64m
    -XX:SurvivorRatio=12
    -Xms=1024m
    -Xmx=1024m

    Maybe you are running out of perm space?
    Try
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

  • There is not enough free memory to load the entire file

    I saw an older reference to this error in a previous post which apparently got resolved, but didn't explain precisely how it got resolved:
    Michael Kitzmiller, "There is not enough free memory to load the entire file" #, 27 Jul 2007 5:23 am
    I presume that one answer is to rebuild the document from scratch, changing imported images to referenced images. But I want to recover the file as I put hours of work into it and expected that anything I can save that I also should be able to read back in. I will certainly change to referenced images, but I have to be able to open it first.
    thank you

    Here is a smattering of ideas.
    Do you have ample unused HDD space? If not, defrag it, although in myu experience, this hardly makes a difference. Check your TEMP/TMP folders and clean them out. Consider downloading cCleaner and running it. Do everything you can to make ample room on your HDD and in places like your TEMP folders. If your HDD is congested, temporarily remove big but relatively unimportant applications and move data elsewhere for a while.
    Even with 4GB of RAM, Frame can only use somewhere between 2.7 - 3.2 GB of it under the very best of conditions, and that includes the application as well as the files. Unpacking image files can consume considerably more space than it takes to store them. For example, a 1024 x 768 color image requires more than 3.1MB to describe it as a 32-bit color image, yet when stored in JPEG format, it can be as small as 50kB, a compression of 65:1. Of course, it's not reasonable to assume that your document is comprised entirely of such highly-compressed images, but in the unachievable extreme, it would take 980MB to simultaneously open 15MB worth of those kind of files. The point here is to not fall into the trap of thinking a 15MB file comprising a lot of images needs little more than 15MB of RAM.
    Make sure ALL other applications are closed when trying to open your file...Outlook, IE or FireFox, Anti-Virus and Spyware apps, Word, etc.
    Consider sending a copy of the file to someone else to see if they can open it for you and delete some of the images before resaving it. If you have a backup copy, rename your current file and restore the backup. Maybe your working copy is corrupt. Who knows? Anything is probably worth trying as long as you have a save copy stored somewhere.

  • Disk Utility Error - Secure Erase Free Space failure

    I have encountered a problem which I can't solve: I've used the secure erase feature to wipe unused parts of the disk before without problem. Now I get the following error message each time I try to use Disk Utility to do so:
    "Secure Erase Free Space failed
    Secure Erase Free Space failed with the error:
    Could not create temporary file"
    I tried it with the hard disk on the computer, my external backup disk, and a USB thumb drive. Same error message in each case.
    If anyone knows the solution I would appreciate the help. I've scoured these fora and the internet to no avail.
    Thanks.

    Tried booting from another hard drive and running Disk Utility Repair Disk? follow up with Disk Warrior after that.
    I would just do a full volume clone, reinitialize, and restore.

  • Allocated heap memory goes up even when there is enough free memory

    Hi,
    Our Java application's memory usage keep growing. Further analysis of the heap memory using JProbe shows that the allocated heap memory goes up even when there is enough free memory available in the heap.
    When the process started, allocated heap memory was around 50MB and the memory used was around 8MB. After few hours, the inuse memory remains at 8MB (slight increase in KBs), but the allocated memory went upto 70MB.
    We are using JVM 1.5_10. What could be the reason for heap allocation going up even when there is enough free memory available in heap?

  • Warning that the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer does not have enough free memory to operate

    [UPDATE: Memory handling for the ray-traced 3D renderer is greatly improved by installing the After Effects CC (12.2) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update.]
    You may see a warning message when using After Effects CC (12.1) that the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer does not have enough free memory to operate.
    When the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer is disabled, the CPU version of the ray-traced 3D renderer will operate.
    The message about the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer not having enough free memory to operate is because of a change in After Effects CC (12.1) to actually warn you when your computer was in a dangerously low VRAM state. In After Effects CC (12.0) and After Effects CS6 (11.0), a computer with very little VRAM could still try to use the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer, but it would very, very, very often crash. So, now, After Effects CC (12.1) is just detecting the condition that would lead to a crash, telling you about it, and disabling the GPU acceleration until you have dealt with the problem.
    So, how do you deal with this low-memory condition? You free up VRAM. This means closing all applicaitons that use GPU memory, which includes web browsers (yes, web browsers these days use the GPU). It also means disconnecting additional monitors, each of which uses a lot of VRAM. In some cases, restarting the computer is necessary.
    This is primarily a problem on Mac OS with cards with 1GB of VRAM, such as the GT 650M in the MacBook Pro. These cards on this OS have just barely enough GPU memory (VRAM) to make use of the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer under even the best of circumstances. If you want to use the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer, you should really be using a more powerful GPU, one with more VRAM.
    Note that this has nothing to do with the OpenGL GPU features in After Effects. Details of the GPU features are here: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html

    hey Todd
    i have the exact same problem but with my new macpro with renderay no matter what i do even a simple 3d extraction the renderay crashes! My cuda is full up to date and everything not sure why! if you have any way to resolve this issue would be awesome and help us out since i am on a deadline! at the moment!
    I have attached a few screen shots and my computer specs! as you can see the GPU Should not be running low on memory xD since its pretty much nearly full speced!
    The error!
    This is what was there! and all i added was a extractor after this and the error above appears!
    and this is my computer specs as you can see there is no lack of Power, Ram or VRAM here! so not sure why this error is occurring even after updating CUDA
    if you have anything else i could try please let me know! Thanks!

  • Does OS X 10.2 has the secure delete option & erase free space

    Hi All, I have an old iBook G4 1.42ghz with 1GB ram and I am thinking of putting an old disk of 10.2 onto it as I always liked OS X 10.2.
    I just can't remember of this verion of OS X has the secure delete option in finder when emptying trash and also does it have the abilty to erase free space with zeros etc..

    What OS 10.2 disc are you planning to use to install 10.2. If it's from another model Mac, it won't work.

  • 7-pass, or zero out-Disk Utility Erase Free Space

    Hey Forum,
    I want to clear my erase free space on disk utility. And I am confused, whether to use 7-pass or zero-out? Any suggestions which one to use. Is zero out enough, or is 7-pass too much, any suggestions of whether to use either of them is appreciated, thank you.
    Ala.
    P.S. What are zero-out, 7-pass, and the 35 thing for and their differences?

    There is no need to post the same question twice, especially in the same forum.
    Regarding what you can find with Google, an overly simplified or out of date treatment of the topic may lead you to the wrong conclusions. For example, the DoD 5220-22M standard is obsolete (& never recommended a 7 pass erase to begin with) & the 35 pass erase was intended for old, pre-2001 drives.
    For modern ATA drives like you will find in any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard, one or at most a few zero data passes will do all any software-based secure erase method can do.
    If you need verification of that, refer to the Epilogue section of Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory, the seminal paper on the subject by the author of the 35 pass method.

    Don't bother with that option, unless you are going to sell your computer and want to be sure that your data can't be recovered.
    To be more specific it securely erases the unoccupied space of your hard drive, leaving the rest of your data intact.
    I have no Command keys on my keyboard-how to do Command R without a Command Key?
    You mean you have a PC keyboard? If that is the case the Command key translates to the key with the Windows flag.

  • How to reset free memory to the highest

    I sometimes restart Tiger to reset the "Free" memory (RAM) higher.
    Is there a way to reset this without restarting?
    I have 768 MB DDR SDRAM 1/4 of which is used once restarted. After a while of use, it never gets back to a 1/4. With no user apps open it can be as high as half used (My human memory seems to think it is near 1/2). So I restart to claim back the 1/4. Is there another way to clean out the processes that are using up resources?
    ALSO
    If I use widgets, they not only take up memory, but seem to use CPU resources as do other applications. I clean all this by restarting. I can quit all widgets to clean that out without a restart, but clearly other things claim resources. If I burn a movie DVD and another process calls to the computer, there can be for an instant a surge on available resources. I do not mean something I activate during the burn, I mean hands off but some process which is less likely if I am burning just after a restart vs after much computer use. I am assuming it delays the feed to the recording DVD which given the burning process, clocks steady and at one speed, different than the CPU and computer resources which can compensate clocking during a process. So a restart seems to minimize bad burns. It sure seems I get no bad burns if I burn after a restart. That most occurred with burns on computer time many hours and other usage past the restart.
    Is there a way to reset all or close at least the most aggressive activity, to basic without a restart? I realize there are many things that build-up though I know not all. RAM, Cache, monitoring activity, -=-any know a list of all the types of activity called to play after a good bit of computer use, different than a fresh restart?

    10.4 is even better with on the fly exchange, virtual memory is the same. Only the "specialty" apps are accessing any type of memory management/control and they are developed at the kernel level. You'll know which one's fall into this category as they put a very big strain on your wallet. Most seem to be working fine. A 3D CAD modeling program I am familiar with is absolutely incredible yet on the same machine running Apple's own universal apps choking and sputtering. It is not Universal but Intel native and even the previous and current PPC release run great under Rosetta, it also requires a USB security device just to open the application.
    Restarting is working but it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. The reason why it is is that apps and HW are not releasing resources properly i.e other apps, files, HD's, ports, CPU's, GPU's, keyboards, track-pads etc (even after they quit) this type of resource sharing is a new thing for them. The restart is simply releasing the resources from everything. Well almost everything, FW devices as well as partitioned internal HD's seem to misbehave, slowing things down or hanging, during startup and shutting down. A common way people are finding to force their computers to see certain USB and FW devices is to plug them in prior to startup and/or launching of any apps that may want to use such devices. However, this is not a reliable fix for devices that want to launch, control or be controlled by apps. i.e. video cameras, Maxtor OneTouch HD's etc. An all new system architecture in 10.4. I believe the majority of issue with HW and SW and the incredible number of kernel panics people are experiencing across HW configurations (G4-Intel) is that there is and error in the I/O kit at the kernel level.
    One thing I see that is needed to tame this beast for USB and FW devices to work properly is a System Pref such as CD's and DVD's. When you connect a FW camera: When you connect a FW Video Device: When you connect a FW MIDI Device: When You Connect a FW HD: etc. with the same exact answers like Ask what to do, Open App, Ignore, Open finder, Run script etc. A system pref like this I believe would even help smoke out the popping kernel in a heartbeat.
    People should not be looking for lists of supported equipment rather a very small list of "unsupported" devices. AFAICT any device or external piece of equipment that conforms to industry standards should work regardless if the manufacturer developed "drivers" for it or not.
    I have waited for an OS like this from Apple for about 10 years. No longer had the need for it 2 or so years ago and stopped having to know what's going on. Had to get back into it in March 06 as installation of 10.4 on a G4 brought it to it's knees w/ HW frying all over the place apps not working correctly, kernel panics galore. Updated to MBP and problems are worse.
    Another thing I'd like to mention is that it appears that my MBP 2.16, has already become a LEGACY PRODUCT (obsolete). G5 64 bit, ICD 32(-!?), ICD2 64 bit.
    If their is anyone out there that can confirm this I would appreciate it. My .Mac account expires in a few hours so I will not be able to reply here, email or chat but will respond to a board you direct me to that allows anonymous/guest posts.
    I am very curious about what a newer MacBook and a G5 computer says in the System Preferences>Processors. Mainly interested in MacBooks with ICD2 and G5's but am also curious about supported late model PB G4's w Core Image support and 64+ MB VRAM.
    Your machine.
    What is the processor? i.e Intel Pentium M Processor
    Core Freq:
    Bus Freq:
    L1 Cache:
    L2 Cache:
    Processors:(max number)
    A lot of the kernel panics being posted are all referring to HW devices primarily CPU's and GPU's and other very basic internal HW. It seems the cross architecture is getting garbled in this I/O kit. Errors in the kernel aren't usually that easy to find but I think if enough people express their concerns this one may find a quick resolution as it seems to occur close to the exchange.
    Thanks
    FWIW
