My old iphone was stolen. Can I wipe it remotely if I know the IP address from which someone is trying access my accounts?

I was in Europe last week and was pick pocketed and my iphone 3GS. Now someone is trying to access my gmail account from Romania. I was notified by google and given an IP address from where the attempt is coming from. I have since upgraded my phone, and was only using it as an ipod. For that reason, I didn't have any security settings (no password). But, there's quite a bit of personal things on there (text, tons of pictures, etc) Is there any possible way it could be wiped remotely since I know the IP address where it is located? I also remember setting up a locate my iphone thing some years back, but have never needed to use it (so it seems some of the information needed may not be up to date). Seems like I'm SOL if I don't have icloud or whatever.

Here is a link that explain you the steps http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2701

My macbook will not shut down. It says that safari has override the shutdown, but when I go to Quit Safari it will not allow it. Is this a virus?

I can't get my Macbook to shut down. When I try to it prompts me saying Safari has override the shutdown, but when I try to close safari it does not respond (and the option is greyed out. Is this a virus,and how do I correct it?

Have you tried a hard shutdown? Hold the power button for about 5-6 seconds, and it will force the computer to power down. (Note that you may lose and unsaved changes)

I have a macbook air bought in 2010 wit liquid damage that might has affected the SSD card. I need to get my data but apple won't help. Authorized dealers never seem to have the same model to try whether the SSD card works. How can I get my data quickly?

Hi
I have a macbook air bought in 2010. It has liquid damage that might or might not affected the SSD card. I need the data on my SSD card for work and I need it urgently. Apparently Apple won't get the data out, even if I have apple care... Licensed apple dealers need to have the same macbook air model so they can insert the SSD card and check whether the data is there, and they never seem to have one...
I'm really disappointed with apple. It's been two weeks and I haven't been able to find out whether the SSD card is holding my data. It can't take that long to do it in store... How can they sell a product and then wash their hands on the matter?
Anyway, enough with the apple rant. I need to get this data urgently so I need to find out how I can get it out of the card. The SSD card and data might be fine so I don't want to take it to a data recovery centre and get charged loads.
Thanks for your help.

See this link for a 4870 card, best instructs for flashing for a noob like me. (last lowest price was $150 for a 1GB vRAM 4870 from TigerDirect).

However, not every 4870 card will work with the ROM currently floating around out there. BEWARE!

My daughter's MacBook was stolen today in OKC and she didn't remember setting up find my Mac. Does this come already set up in the default settings?

My daughters MacBook was stolen today in OKC and she doesn't recall setting the find my Mac to "on". Is it set to on as a default?

No, you have to set it up yourself in iCloud...does she have an iCloud account?
Setting it up is a matter of only checking a box in the iCloud services list.
Try logging into iCloud: https://www.icloud.com and go to Find My...and see if it is listed per chance.

My MacBook was stolen in June. Just received an email from Find My iPhone that it's been found. What next?

My MacBook was stolen from my car in Hartford ct in June 2013. I filed a police report with the serial number. I monitored find my iPhone for several weeks with no luck. I set find my iPhone to erase my mac.
Yesterday, I received and email saying my mac was being erased. Several hours later I received an email saying my MacBook has been found along with an approximate address.
What can I do next? Can I access the camera? Can I make a message appear on the screen?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
John.

relay the message to the police and have them get it.

My macbook was stolen last month from my car. It would not power, it showed a white screen with folder with question mark in the middle? I don't have my serial number, is there a way to possibly track my computer?

My car was broken into in Uptown, MN last month and my Macbook was stolen along with my Wifi device. Although my computer would no longer power, it showed a white screen with a folder and question in the middle and then shut down. I hadn't had a chance to take it to have it checked, but is there a way to track my computer if I do not have the serial number? And if I purchase another computer is there a way to get the music that I purchased in iTunes back?
Thanks

Regarding your music, yes you can download it again at no cost. Launch iTunes on the new computer, and sign in to your account using the same Apple ID you used previously. Go to the iTunes Store. On the right side under Quick Links select Purchased. Click on All Songs in the upper left.You'll see a list of the music you purchased from iTunes. In the lower right corner click the Download All link. Note that this may take a long time, particularly if you have a lot of songs. Use the fastest Internet connection that you can.
About the computer, unless tracking software was already installed on it and turned on there is no way to track it.
I would suggest changing passwords of any accounts that you have on the computer, such as email. If you have any credit card information stored on the computer, have them cancelled and replaced immediately.
Sorry to hear about your loss. It is very distressing, I know.
Best of luck.

My Macbook was stolen I don't have serial number to track it

My Macbook was stolen in Lisbon, Portugal, and I don't have serial number to track it. I bought it on September, 2012 on Amazon.com.
I wrote to Amazon and they answer below.
Could you send the serial number to track the computer:
Hello, I understand that you wanted to have the serial number for Apple MacBook Pro from order #104-6894665-3498643. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your pc. Surely, Amazon.com is ready to assist you in this matter. However, I would suggest that you consult the manufacturer first to check as they are knowledgeable for their products.
Please tell them that you bought the item from us. If they want a proof of purchase, they should accept a copy of your order summary. You can view and print an invoice for your orders through Your Account (http://www.amazon.com/your-account). I hope this helps.We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best regards,
Jackelyn C.

If you ever registered your MacBook Pro using your Apple ID you may be able to get the serial number by going to your support profile. Follow the directions in this Apple article -
Go to My Support Profile*.
Sign in with your Apple ID.
View your purchases in "My Products".
Best of luck.

My Macbook was stolen a few days ago, says it is locked

My macbook was stolen about 5 days ago, along with my ipad. As soon as I discovered they were gone, I tracked them using Find my iPhone but they both show up as offline. The weird thing is that the computer says it was locked Monday evening before I even got home. Does this mean the thief somehow locked my computer? It is still showing up on my app using my Apple ID to sign in. The weirder thing is that the computer does NOT show up if I log into my Apple ID on a computer to find the serial number. I have called Apple and they say that maybe it is linked to a different Apple ID, but I even logged out and back in to Find my iPhone and it still shows up on that list. So theoretically it is still linked to my Apple ID.
I had a password for logging in to my computer, but not if it was just closed and then opened, which I assume would have been the case. There is a slight chance that the computer would reset itself (it is fairly old, 2008 but updated to Mountain Lion) and then prompt for a password. Would an incorrect password entered several times have locked out the thief?
At this point, I would have just chosen to erase the computer remotely, but since it is already showing as locked, this option is not available to me. I was able to set my ipad to erase if it ever comes back online.
Anyone out there have any ideas as to how the macbook was locked?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
if you are referring to your data being safe, then a screen lock will likely be enough to protect it, if not and you are relying on remote wipe by wifi, then of course it's always possible the thief can acces your data by turning it on and not connecting to wifi.

My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address

An emergency question to Apple support. My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address of its network card. I have a receipt with the serial number of my MacBook. Can you assist?
My serial: W8***66D
Thank you
p.s Any ideas how I can find it?

Report the theft to your local authorities.
Apple has no means of tracking thefts, as thieves themselves may claim the machine is theres just by looking up the information on the computer, and unless you registered the machine, it is really their word against yours, unless you also have receipt or other information that they can track to your receipt against your serial number.
Your homeowners insurance may be able to recoup the cost.
In the future, consider getting Lapcop, or Lojack for notebooks.
Good luck!

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Please help me! My MacBook was stolen along with an external hard drive that had all my photos of my children on them. I hadn't backed to iCloud or backed anywhere else. I am distraught. No find my mac either...help...please... Some programmes are still running like drop of and Skype... Is it all over?!?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Hi, my iPhone 4 was stolen two weeks ago, and I called ATT to suspend the service. Today, we were able to trace it and it is under a different name. What should I do? Should I report to police?

Hi, my iPhone was stolen two weeks ago, and I called ATT to suspend the service. Today, we were about to find it using my iPod, and it is now under a different name. What should I do? Should I report to police? I did called ATT again, and they told me that they cannot do anything, since the SIM card might have been replaced.

Doesn't hurt to call the police.
The SIM wasn't replaced; if it were, you wouldn't have been able to locate it.

Macbook was stolen, how do I restore time machine to new Macbook?

My Macbook Pro was stolen recently. Luckily before that I backed up all of my files onto a USB external hard drive, and I also recently bought a new Macbook Air. How do I restore all of my old Macbook Pro settings from the USB hard drive onto my new Macbook Air? I tried using Migration Assistant but the Migration Assistant won't detect my external hard drive as a time machine backup. I've tried right clicking on Time Machine in the dock and clicking "Browse other time machine disks" but it still won't detect my external hard drive as a time machine backup. I can see my old username and folders (ex. desktop, applications, downloads, library, etc.) but they all have a red thing next to them and when I click them it says "you don't have permission to access this content". My old macbook was stolen so I don't know how to grant permisions for me to access it. What is the best way to load all my old settings from my USB hard drive onto my new Macbook Air?
