Hi all, last night I secure-erased my old MBP (after de-authorising and signing out of everything etc). I'm now at the stage of reinstalling OS X but it asks for my Apple-ID, which obviously I don't want to enter as I'm selling the MBP. I think I've already worked out that I can install the original OS (which was Snow Leopard) and I have the DVD for this. It's an early 2009 17' MBP unibody so my question is, do I have any other options to consider for instance, using Internet Recovery, or should I re-install SL from the DVD then ask the new owner to use their own Apple ID to update to Yosemite?

From other posts on t'interweb, I think there might be a chance I could install Lion using Internet Recovery. Then when I restart the Mac it will ask for Regional setup etc., at which point I'll shut it down, give it to the new owner and ask her to log into the App Store with her own AppleID to update to Yosemite.

I'm hoping that when El Cap comes out, she won't have any issues upgrading the OS.we'll see I guess.

I've searched all over the house and in the attic for the SL disk but to no avail and I'm buggered if I'm going to buy another copy just to upgrade from Leopard, so she can upgrade to Yosemite. Surely most people don't bother with all this faff do they? Don't most people wipe their data, then just sell it?

Reason: This happens because the app was downloaded using another Apple ID and xcode is tied to that account. How to solve this? • Sign in into Mac App Store with “your current ID account” and check under Purchases menu, whether you have xcode. • Also check in System Preferences » App Store » What ID shows below “Automatic download apps purchased.” • If xcode is present under your current ID Purchases (grayed out saying INSTALLED), feel free to erase the app from your HD. An install button must be shown after and you can download and update the app again. • If the above doesn't work, you can get rid of the greyed out Apple ID email by making following selection Applications » xcode (right click on Show Package Contents) » Contents » and delete the file inside “_MASReceipt” folder (do a backup before just in case).
