How do I restore my MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2010) to the Welcome Screen ready for sale.
I've already wiped and restored (10.6.2), updated to 10.6.8 and then upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) online.
Now I need to reset the Users and restore to the Welcome Screen ready for sale.
I'm sure this can be done without a re-install.? Can't it?
thanks
Mac OS X (10.7.3)
You don't have to sell your computer with Mountain Lion. It's registered to your Apple ID, so the owner won't be able to reinstall Mac OS X. You must reinstall Snow Leopard:
1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and press C key while your computer is starting.
2. Go to Utilities > Disk Utility and erase the drive.
3. Install OS X. When the installation finishes, turn off the computer
When you want to sell, you have to install the original OS 10.6.2 (?) from the original disc. And you have to deliver the original disc too. If you have wiped the system, that's all.
OK Thanks, makes sense.
I'll restore to the original OS (10.6.2) and the buyer can take it from there.
Sorted.
You're welcome
