If you're planning to sell your MacBook Pro, it's important to make sure that all of your personal information is completely wiped from the device. In this blog, we'll go over the steps you can take to reset your MacBook Pro before selling it.
Step 1: Backup Your Data
Before you reset your MacBook Pro, it's important to backup any important files, photos or documents you want to keep. You can do this by either backing up your data to an external hard drive, using cloud storage or using Time Machine.

If you've authorized your MacBook Pro to access your iTunes account, you'll want to deauthorize it before resetting the device. To do this, open iTunes and click on Account > Authorizations > Deauthorize This Computer.
Step 4: Erase Your Data
Once you've backed up your data and signed out of iCloud, it's time to erase your data from the MacBook Pro. This will ensure that your personal information is completely wiped from the device. To do this, go to Apple menu > Restart, and then hold down Command + R as the computer restarts to enter into Recovery Mode. Once in Recovery Mode, select Disk Utility and select your startup disk. Click on Erase and follow the prompts to erase your data.
