Q: clearing hard drive before recycling
I have a nonworking MacBook Pro and a macbook that I would like to recycle through Apple, but I'm nervous to send them off with all the information on the hard drive. I tried hooking the computer up to my iMac using firewire, but the iMac did not recognize it.

How old is the computer? You could remove the hard drive and deal with it separately.
You could also see if the recycling program mentions the issue.
