hey guys today is going to be a quick
video on how to reset your imac or
macbook to factory settings
let's get started
a few quick tips before we start the
factory reset
you're going to want to go to itunes
click on account
authorizations and de-authorize this
computer
next log out of any apps you may have
licenses for
after you're all done with that you're
going to need some way to save
all your important files whether you're
using a cloud-based storage
like icloud or an external hard drive

i'm going to be using a seagate six
terabyte hard drive with a simple drag
and drop method
now with all that out of the way let's
get started factory resetting this mac
click on the apple in the top left
corner then select
shutdown make sure your mac is
completely shut down before continuing
once completely shut down hold command r
then power on your mac continue to hold
command
r until the mac os utilities pops up
once the mac os utilities pops up then
click on
disk utility option
choose your main hard drive named
macintosh hd

apfs or mac os extended journaled
then click erase
this step may vary in time depending on
how full your hard drive is
