Q: Data erasing-selling old iBook
Hi all,
I'm looking for information on how best to clean my iBook before I sell it. I have an iBook G4 running Leopard, however, I do not have the install discs for Leopard, only for the OS it came with - Panther. I have gotten all of my data off of it and de-authorized my iTune's account - what is the best way to make sure all of my personal info is actually erased?
Thanks!
Karen

You can use the Install and Restore discs to take it back to its original state.

You may want to do a secure erase, although it would take someone very sophisticated to regain any of your data once you've done the Restore of the system.
