    If you trying to figure out how to avoid issues, never buy a mac. Former mac user.

    Will this still allow the new purchaser to have the apps that I bought for the Mac like photoshop & logic x ?? I bought mine from a reseller and it was in the post description that it would have all the apps & it did. I want to provide the same thing for the person I’m selling it to. I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

    Well, you shouldn’t really try to unlock it yourself and trying something which you don’t know as it might do some extra bit damage. You can just take it to any Apple Store, or Apple Reseller or any authenticated Tech Guy Like *MOE* where they sell MacBook They’ll just log onto iTunes on their Mac and your problem should be resolved in 10-15 minutes. They effort required is very less, it’s just about knowing the thing that you’re doing. *MOE* charges are less. By the way, technically they shouldn’t ask for anything as it isn’t a laborious work at all so if you argue enough with them, they might not charge you.
    But also, they will ask you for the Apple ID and Password. So, it would be better to change the password after the work has been done just for security purposes.
