Oh that is not good. Its been bought second hand by AC who passed it on to JS who dropped it. I have been trying to fix it and erased lion to reinstall but it wouldnt because my id would not work. It still had ACs football program on it so maybe its him I need to ask for his apple id. Guess the new usb wont work either then when the postman makes it through the snow. I have created a bootable partition from a downloaded file bought off Ebay on my external hd which I am trying out. BUT WAIT...Amazingly while typing this it seems to be working.... i will let you know

It has been running about 30 mins now and according to the info on the above link I should have a time indication too. I havent. Just an x and a moving blue and white bar and the word installing. đ
You're out of luck without the permission of the previous owner to change the Apple ID.
Ahhh. I now have a empty screen with a circle and a diagonal line across it. Guess it didnt work
