My mac book was stolen how can i locate it?

can some one help me to find my macbook pro ?it was stolen yesterday:(

I know someone who works for the police and (in the UK at least) they will not bother starting to investigate the loss unless they are PRETTY SURE they will find it - this will bring their 'detection rates' down and this statistic is unfortunately all they care about now.

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

    Did you activate the Find My Mac feature in iCloud when you still had the Mac? If not, there's pretty much no way. Report it to the police and your insurance.

  • My mac book was stolen...

    My mac book was stolen lastnight, what can I do to try to get it back? Can it be tracked? Please help....

    No, it cannot be tracked unless you installed tracking software or registered it with Find My Mac on iCloud.com. Report the theft to the police. If you have a serial number you may even get it back it the thief ever pawns it. Also, report to your insurance company.

    Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

  • Erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx?  it won't recognize any old system disc

    erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx?  it won't recognize old system discs

    Did you try:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you don't have the original discs that came with the computer, then you can install the retail version of Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

    My iPad was stolen, how can I have it blocket and/or send to the iPad a message to get it back

    If you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen, and if it is still turned on and connected to the internet with Find My iPad enabled, you can do this by going to icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165.

  • HT201472 If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure out if the find my ipod app is activated

    If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure outg if the find my ipod app is activated.

    - 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 police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac and want to transfer it to my newly purchased Mac Book Air. How can I do that?

    I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac and want to transfer it to my newly purchased Mac Book Air. How can I do that?

    Just install it like you did the first time (do not try to transfer it from the old machine in any way) - you can download thru your account if you purchased it as a download originally - otherwise there is a link for downloading below. Your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online if your registered the software previously.
    CS5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    If you like you can leave it on the first machine as a backup because you are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you wish to remove it from the older machine you should deactivate it first (open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate).

  • Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?

    Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?
    please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?

    You're welcome.  If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
    First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup.  This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings.  You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup.  If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.  This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream.  (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days.  Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.)
