Need help to erase 2009 iMac for recycling
Help please—poor old iMac 2009 needs to have hard disc erased and all I can get on the screen is the Apple icon and start up line. Any wisdom from the community would be most helpful.
Why not simply remove the HD? If the computer will not boot into the Recovery Partition, then you cannot erase the drive. To learn how to remove the drive navigate to:
