[QUOTE="rsmmac, post: 1939990, member: 394586"] Thank you! He hadn’t done anything other than remove his data, files, etc. He gave me his password so I could log in, I made myself an administrator, and deleted his user/admin info. I asked him to log into his Apple ID, and unauthorize the computer. He did. There is nothing of his remaining on the computer ( I understand there may be some unseen remnants). I’m the only user, the Home folder is in my name. If I go to anything that requires an Apple ID, it requires that it be set up. I didn‘t do this, yet, because of the failing HDD, I was concerned it would die in the middle. I didn’t know if putting it through First Aid, really doing much of anything, would be more than it could handle. (I still break out in hives thinking about the 2008 iMac, the HDD failed in 2017, without any warning. This one giving me a warning? Yikes!) (My friend will give me his AppleID and password if I ask.) [/QUOTE]
