Read this simple guide that details how to clean all private data from a Mac and secure your privacy.īefore you sell off your Mac or give it away to someone, it is important to follow some basic steps to ensure that your personal data that currently resides on the Mac does not fall into the wrong hands.
The moniker PRO is assumed to not only be top quality but top at saving the day when hits the fan and these machines are no longer that.If you are about to sell your Mac or are planning to give it away to someone, make sure you have taken all steps to securely erase all data on Mac and know how to properly reset a Mac before selling it. A chef that finds their knife no longer sharp doesn’t look for the bin and a wholesale knife catalogue to buy a new one, they get a hone, or a stone and in 10 minutes their knife is possibly as good as new.Īpple have chosen this route for us and all to shave a few millimetres and grammes off laptops that Pro’s need to have as functional as possible. A musician wouldn’t put their guitar in the dump because a machine head broke, $10 would get that musician back on stage again. A music producer wouldn’t throw away a 50 channel recording deck because 2 channels failed one day. The ability to respond to unexpected situations damage, moisture, internal failure or design fault is what should set a PRO device apart.įor those suggesting that the moniker PRO doesn’t need to mean ‘repairable’, ‘accessible’, ‘non-complicated’, just consider any other PRO industry who relies hugely on repairability and the ability to get inside their devices / tools / instruments to keep them going as long as possible.

If she is using a true pro device she could drop by a computer repair place. She could just redo the hours of work she just lost after her last backup (assuming she is someone who backs up religiously), however her deadline is tomorrow morning. She has completed another days worth of work while out and about (the main point of a laptop, portability) someone drops liquid into the unit and it fails.
