Jan 30, 2015 5:51 PM in response to iNeil316by Niel,★HelpfulClick here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.
You can't sell it while it has an OS more recent than the newer of the computer's original one or 10.6.8 installed on it.

Jan 30, 2015 5:53 PM in response to iNeil316by petermac87,★HelpfulDid it come with Discs? That model, I believe had Snow Leopard as the default OS X. (I stand to be corrected there. If so, then just erase the drive and reinstall the Discs that came with it. Your friend can then update to Yosemite if he wishes. If you use your copy, it will be forever tied to your Apple ID and he or she will have issues updating in the future.
Hope this helps.
