I’ve never been able to buy a brand new computer. It’s their any good sites besides ebay that sell second Hand Apple laptops? Most intense thing I play is WOW. So I don’t feel like I need the best of the best. Does anyone have any suggestions for myself who wants to get a MacBook?
To add to this and clarify:
While there are ways to remove activation lock, it is either with the method you posted, or by providing Apple with a copy/scan/etc of the original (i.e., the one that matches Apple’s records) purchase receipt, that must also clearly show the device’s serial number.
I bought AirPods Max from Amazon used and they were still tied to the previous owner.
Even though I send receipts and everything to Apple, they said they cannot remove the connection to the previous owner’s account.
Just to keep this in mind, what you said might not work every time.
Did you provide Apple with the receipt you got from Amazon when you purchased them? Or did the original owner provide you a copy of the receipt when they purchased them?
Because before Apple will remove activation lock they would want to see a copy of the second.
Apple doesn’t give a shit about the receipt that shows you purchased second-hand, they only care about the receipt that matches their records of where the device was originally sold.
