I’m planning on exchanging the hard drive (original Apple HGST) for an SSD (Samsung 850 EVO) in a MacBook Pro 2012, to give it another lease on life. (Not mine, for a family member.)
(Of course, I’ll make a TM backup first.) As the old drive will be erased, and probably discarded, should I sign out of all services (iTunes, iCloud, iMessages, paired BlueTooth devices, etc)? The computer should stay linked to the same Apple ID and such, but I expect such identification to be set somewhere on the drive. It is the kind of thing I would like to be prepared for, instead of fixing bad registrations the hard way afterwards. Any other advice on what I should do before the actual exchange?
