| Wipe Out Old Data Before Retiring Your Mac |
|
|
If your old Mac's hard drive contains sensitive data such as financial records or confidential business information, you can use an option on Disk Utility's Erase screen (click the Options button) to write zeros over all the sectors of the hard disk, ensuring that no future owner will be able to resurrect your data.

“I had dealt with The Mac Guys when they were setting up a mac for me as the Web Site Project Manager. As soon as they came in, you could tell right away they knew much more than other IT Consultants in the mac field. I know this because I am very knowledgeable in the mac field as well, and it was a breath of fresh air to have someone that I could explain my concerns with. They were not only thorough with everything they did, but they did it in a trustworthy and reliable manner. And in the Healthcare field, that is a must.” Ryan Green |
