remotely remove apple id from macbook
My Macbook 12 (2017) won’t turn on anymore. It’s completely dead. I am sending it in for repair but they want me to remove it from the ‘find my’ app so they can access/ repair my machine.
I have two options there:
-erase this machine
-remove this machine
What is the difference? I am not sure what the repairshop needs to access my machine ( I asked ofcourse but no clear answer).
Is my Apple-id removed when I choose ‘remove this machine’ or is the macbook just not showing in the ‘find my’ app anymore? And after it is connected to the internet again it shows again?
I have a (2 day old) back-up so I could also erase my SSD harddrive (from the iCloud website).
If I first remove my machine from the ‘find my’ app, is it still possible to erase my machine after that?
Thanks
MacBook, macOS 10.14
