Hello -
I bought a used MBP 2012 about a year ago. I've been using it to mainly browse the internet. I'm still learning how to use it. I have a couple questions.
1. Last night I decided to sync my music with iTunes on the MBP. I had a copy of my iTunes library on a 128gb thumb drive. I was thinking I could keep it there and off the 256gb SSD where the OS was. It didn't work the way I was hoping. So my library is now on the SSD. I had to enter my PW and I must have entered it 15 times and of course it was wrong every time. So I changed the PW and that created more problems. Now iMessage won't work on the MBP. All the names in the text thread are red. I'm at a loss for how to fix it. Any help here would be appreciated.
2. This MBP was purchased from a local high school. I upgraded to 16gb ram and installed a 256gb SSD. The school put a copy of ElCaptain on it for me. I'm now thinking about doing a fresh install free from the schools copy. I had to delete several applications and reinstall them because they were purchased with the schools account. Is there anything special I need to do when wiping a SSD? What steps do I need to take to remove my now installed iTunes library?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
