I'm on vacation and my laptop was stolen. Is there a way to find my serial number without the original packaging? I bought those apple classes when I bought the laptop.

Sorry my error. It only shows the computer name not the serial number. Go with "themachead" response copied below:
In your Apple ID - Profiles:My Products if you filled it out. Not only that you might be able to, via Apple ID & iCloud sign up/in and activate find my Mac. If you have not activated iCloud you can do that too.

    I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

    I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
    If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
    With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
    If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
    Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s  rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
    If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
    When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

  • I have lost my iPhone and it has stated that it is offline. I received an email that stated it went online and activated play a sound and lost mode. So I went into iPhone app and it says offline. Is there any way to find ?

    I have lost my iPhone and it has stated that it is offline. I received an email that stated it went online and activated play a sound and lost mode. So I went into iPhone app and it says offline. Is there any way to find ?

    Not unless it goes back online.  If it was stolen it may have been restored, in which case it will never appear again in Find My iPhone.

  • Hello, my ipod was stolen, is there any options to find it by wi-fi??

    hello, my ipod was stolen, is there any options to find it by wi-fi??

    Find my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1 and greater) - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network, and not having been restored by the finder (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
    Frankly in the case of a stolen iPod this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts. Go shopping for a new iPod.

  • I have downloaded an update for my ipod 4th, and after that all my songs, pictures and apps have been erased, Is there some way to recover all my information without have done a security copy?

    I have downloaded an update for my ipod 4th, and after that all my songs, pictures and apps have been erased, Is there some way to recover all my information without have done a security copy?

    I supsect you did the update on other than your syncing computer. If yu did the app, music and synced photo will not be on the iPod after the update since those items are not in the backup that iTunes makes. See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    The above applies to all updates performedvia USB on a computer. To get stuff back, restore from backup on the syncing computer.
    The above in my educated guess since you provided litle information about how you did the update.
    You can redownload many iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT4061 My ipod was stolen, is there a way of getting it back using the cerial number or other security information?

    Someone has stolen my ipod. I do not have it with me, but is there another way to find the cerial number or another piece of information i could turn into the police? is there anyway of getting it back, Becuase i hav a good idea of who stole it, and i have some prove, but its just witness prove, no real prove.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to school and police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • HT204347 if my macbook pro was stolen, is there any way i can find it ?

    i bought my pro two years ago, but it was stolen yesterday, is there any way I can find it ?  please help. it hais important documents and pounds of memeries.

    If you had iCloud enabled...
    Go to www.icloud.com >   iCloud
    then login then click Find My iPhone  (works for finding your Mac also)
    This will only work if the Mac is turned on and Find My Mac was enabled in System Preferences > iCloud
    If you did not sign up for iCloud before the Mac was stolen >  Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    A stolen or lost device cannot be located from the serial number.

  • My iPhone 4 was stolen is there a way I can block it to stop the stealer from using it?

    My phone was stolen the other day. I'm wondering is there a way apple can block the phone to prevent the stealer from using it. I couldn't bare to think someone was using my phone I've paid for

    NO apple can't block it.
    More then likely the thief will restore your phone and either use it or sell it.

  • My daughter's iPhone was stolen, is there any way to recover photos that were back-upped to iCloud?

    My daughter's iPhone was stolen. Is there any way to recover photos that she would have backed up to the Cloud? Note, we did not have photoshare running.

    Camera roll photos are included in the backup.  The backup includes:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones

  • I reported to Austin Police Department about my unlocked iphone was stolen last week. I'm ****** off that Serial number of my stolen iphone is on another Apple ID.   IMEI still is not added into blacklist.  How can I contact to Apple Inc??

    I don't understand why Austin Police are not doing to detain theft when I showed an location with valid address according Find my iPhone on icloud.com.  They said that it might be wrong location but few blocks were correct location. I stopped at Apple Retail Store to get another unlocked iphone. I explained an employee whether they would add both IMEI and serial number into blacklist to make useless for anyone. They said they have nothing to doing. 
    I'm shocked today that IMEI number is still not added into blacklist. Serialnumber of my stolen iphone is already on another Apple ID, after restoring it.
    They let me down because unlocked iphone is EXPENSIVE, it costs $800 in Canada.
    How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone back

    What blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
    Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency.

  • Reinstall an Acrobat upgrade when the original was lost in a crash. Will not acceot serial number without prior product.

    System crash caused the loss of Acrobat Program. How can I reinstall the upgrade version when the previous version is gone and the upgrade will not accept my serial number???

    When activating the upgrade you will first be asked to provide the upgrade's serial number, then you will be asked to identify the qualifying earlier version that you are upgrading from as well as provide its serial number.  Which part of that process is failing for you?

  • Recently my ipad and iphone 5S were stolen - is there any way to track them if İ had not yet installed find my iphone?

    My ipad Air and ıiphone 5S were recentşy stolen from my apartment.  They are relaticely new and I had not had a chance to install the Find my iphone app.  HOwever it is in my cloud from my last iphone.  İs there any way to track these two devices?  İs there a standard GPS locator on the newer models?
    Thank you for your time!

    If you did not activate Find my iPhone when you set up the iPad/iPhone, there is no way of tracking them. Having installed the Find my Phone app is not necessary and it is irrelevant as that app is for tracking other lost iDevices.
    Log in to your iCloud account via the iCloud website. Do you see the stolen devices? Do the show up on the device list? If so, the Find my Phone is active and you will be able to track them if they connect to the internet. If not, they are gone.
