Second-hand MacBook - How to completely remove all traces of previous owner (inc. Apple ID) & start as clean as possible, while retaining factory software?

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!

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 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.

  • 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...

  • How to completely remove all traces of MSI driver?

    After waiting for 4 weeks to see if the MSI 6800 Ultra was going to be available, I have given up.  I have removed my GeForce 5900 128M VTD and installed my new 6800GT, but I cannot remove the MSI Information and MSI Clock tabs from the Display Properties window.  I have already tried DriverCleaner, but the MSI tabs still remain.
    Does anyone know how to remove them, short of a full system reformat and re-install?

    Actually, that needs to be updated, it was written prior to the DOT implementation.
    The files below are the ones that need to be deleted.
    You can go directly to a command line (or use the run command)
    del \windows\msicpl.dll /s/f
    del \windows\msicpl.sys /s/f
    del \windows\winsys.exe /s/f (DOT Controller)
    The /s and c:\ parts tell the del command to scan subdirectories (starting at the root of drive C) and delete--or try to delete-- files of a given name or type, wherever they might be on the hard drive.  The /f switch attempts to force deletion of read-only files.
    Also...did you remove the drivers via the "Add Remove Programs" applet in the "Control Panel?" It should have removed them..
    If you did, I need to know if the uninstall is working correctly. If not, then this the second or third time I've seen this but have yet to determine if the user ran the uninstallation as I have described. I have not had this particular problem with the DOT to the best of my recollection. I may need to forward this to my contact to see if they can duplicate the issue.
    Please create a signature with full specs and OS info. Edit...I see you already have

  • 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.

    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
    Tony

    I 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!

  • Can I completely remove all trace of updater?

    Updater built into Reader (8&9), PSE and PRE cannot access the internet from my desktop machine, but can from my laptop. They both have the same installations from the same CD, and the same antivirus (Norton360). The firewall settings on both N360 and the Windows Internet security settings are identical on the two machines. This leads me to think there is something corrupt in my desktop. I have completely uninstalled all Adobe software removed folders (including Programmes/Common/adobe), cleaned the registry and done fresh installs, but still doesn't work. Support have been no use - they simply tell me to reinstall even though I have repeatedly told them I have and it doesn't work.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to identify any other broken files that might be hiding away somewhere in my system. I have Win 7 64bit on both machines.

  • How can i remove all my devices added to my Apple ID?

    How can i reset the added devices to my Apple ID, dearthursize all of my devices connected to my Apple ID? without having access to the devices, i think its my old computers that i dont have anymore. Just got a new computer, and i authersize it, because it says maximum (5) have been reached.
    Thanks, Kasper.

    The devices linked to your Apple ID have absolutely nothing to do with the 5 computer limit that is causing the issue.
    Devices like iPhones, iPads, iPods do not count towards the 5 computer limit.
    Simply deauthorize the computers that you no longer use or if you no longer have access to them, deauthorize all and authorize only the computers you have that actually need access to the content.

  • How can I remove all traces of Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and Twitter from my computer?

    Hello. I have noticed some very annoying adware/malware/bloatware, whatever it is called. I can not seem to get Google, Yahoo, Twitter, and Facebook off of my computer. When I go to empty my cache and cookies etc from Safari these websites come right back into my top sites. What gives? I don't use these sites. How can I get this garbage off of my computer and keep it from coming back? It's like a virus or something with how annoyingly persistent it is.
    Thanks.

    Andy, thank you.
    Question one:
    I will investigate the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool, which Styxen (to whom I also thank) also pointed me at.
    Question two:
    I’m still confused. 
    I installed my new Windows 7 SP1 system on the 5 November 2013 and Windows Update subsequently offered a number of updates to .NET Framework 3.5.1 which are all successfully installed. 
    KB958488, KB979900, and KB982526 are all old updates now and, with the exception of KB958488, have never been offered by Windows Update and are not installed on my system. 
    As mentioned in my original post, KB958488 is installed on my system but I believe that it was installed without my knowledge by the installation of the Mouse and Keyboard Center or possibly by .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
    If Windows Update had independently determined that my system needed or could benefit from KB958488, your post appears to suggest that Windows Update would have offered
    KB982526 instead.
    And, of course, I still have no explanation as to why, if KB958488 is an update to .NET Framework 3.5.1, all its files appear to belong to .NET Framework 4 and my update history believes it belongs
    to .NET Framework 4 as well.

  • Anyone using rdiffweb - how to completly remove it?

    I know rdiffweb uses sqlite so there must be some db's somewhere.  I'm wondering how to completely remove all traces of rdiffweb from my system including the database.  Using pacman will remove the pacman-insalled files, but there is a config script that needs to be run to start using rdiffweb so it'll create files outside of pacman

    Do a locate for rdiffweb, its folders are probably named after the program.

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
