Or buy a new one and sell it with the new hard drive and no OS. If you're really worried about identity theft or other data recovery issues, remove the hard drive and sell it without a hard drive.
Frankly, I wouldn't worry about it much, especially if you're going to sell it to someone "in person" rather than to some anonymous eBay dude with a PO box. Purchasing a computer just to do that is more expensive and trouble than it's worth for most of the criminally-inclined. The thing is, most people who will buy an old computer like that aren't going to do so to be identity thieves. Anyone who REALLY wants to could recover some or a lot of your data.
Remember, though that the process I described is not a secure delete. You can also use the Finder to delete any applications installed on your iBook G4 that you don't wish to sell with the computer. While logged into that new account, go to System Preferences->Accounts and fully delete all the other accounts.
The closest you'll be able to come is to create a new user account (with admin privileges). You might find such disks on eBay very, VERY cheap if you look around and have some patience.īarring that, or purchasing a retail install of an OS usable by your iBook G4, you can't securely delete your own data and leave an OS behind. Method 1: If you have the Bluetooth icon displayed on your menu bar.You can purchase the original install/restore disks that came with your computer, direct from Apple, for a very low fee. You can use this first step below if you have chosen to have "Bluetooth displayed in your menu bar", otherwise, proceed to the second step below. Let us follow the steps discussed below to remove and add a new Bluetooth device to MacBook. No doubt, with all that we have explained above, Bluetooth has become the standard for inter-device connectivity, it is no surprise that there are a lot of Bluetooth devices that one can decide to remove or pair his or her MacBook with. Please use this guide on how to fix Bluetooth not available on MacBook. Also, with Bluetooth, your iPhone or iPad can create a “Personal Hotspot” to provide Internet access for your Mac through your wireless service provider. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that makes short-range connections between devices such as your MacBook, Mouse, keyboard, or headset at distances up to 10 meters which are approximately 30 feet.
