A 15" iMac, aMac Book Air, and an iPad of mine were stolen recently. I have security copies in iTunes. Could I retrieve them not having the devices?

I've been robbed. They took a Mac Book Air bought last year in London, and my iPad. There are security copies in iTunes. Is there any chances to retrieve them on another device? By the serial numbers, could they be tracked down when getting on line?

Unless you enabled Find My Mac and Find My iPad on them before they were stolen then there isn't any way to locate them. If you did enable it then you could try locating them either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if they're connected to a network and they haven't already been wiped and/or Find My Mac/iPad disabled on them.
I assume that you've reported it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if the iPad was a cellular model then you should also contact your carrier

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini?

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network.

My Mac book air has been lost, how can i track? I have been already using Icloud id to track...but the system is still offline...what other ways can i track this?

You cannot. Your best course of action is to immediately change all your internet passwords, notify the police and your insurance company. Send the remote wipe command to the MBA through iCloud.com and buy a new one from the insurance reimbursement.

Please HELP! My kid wiped my iPhone5 and I need to get my photos and videos off it! I have no backup with iTunes :(( Is there a way to scan the device manually?

hi,
New to this, so go easy on me. I recently got my first iDevice - an iPhone 5. I've used it for a month now and I have to say I love it.
But, I gave it to my kid this morning to look at. It was locked, so I assumed it was safe. WRONG. 5 mins later, I returned to him and my lovely iPhone5 was at the setup /pick your language screen! Looks like he entered the password incorrectly too many times and wiped it.
Now - I thought it would be fairly easy to recover the data and the apps - but it turns out this is not the case. I was never prompted to install iTunes and sync the device - not in the manual, not on the device when setting it up - so how was I to know that that would be my backup. I checked iCloud at a suggestion of an IT pal - nothing there, despite knowing that I had a Photo stream enabled. I may have disabled it only recently, but not sure if I can manually turn it on again?
Anyway - is there a way to manually scan my device and grab my all important photos and videos?
Cheers for any suggestions!

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

I have microsoft word installed on my mac book pro and everytime i open my computer it opens to, have can i make it stop? it startet when i installed os x mountain lion on my mac.

i have microsoft word installed on my mac book pro and everytime i open my computer it opens to, have can i make it stop?

u should go to the apple icon on menu bar and then go to "Force Quit" and then select the application u want to quit. if u did, microsoft word won't appear again when u open. make sure that before u shut down ur mac, u need to force quit to make sure the applications u opened wil not appear when u start mac. good luck..

I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s and an iPad 4 mini. I have unlokced my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a diffeent SIM and new number, can i have all devices associated to me single appleID and use both numbers ?

I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s (perosnal mobile numer) and an iPad 4 mini (no SIMM). I have unlocked my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a different SIM and new number,
Do you know if I can have all devices associated to my single apple ID and still use both numbers without messing up my profile. It has just changed my number over.

I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

When i was younger i did all my itunes purchasing through my father's account. I just purchased my own Mac book Air and i am trying to transfer the music from my iphone to my Mac. Is there a way to do this even though the music wasn't purchased on my id?

Have you authorised your own Mac to your father's account?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

I bought mc os x lion in my book air and i would like to transfer it in my iMc. How can i do it ?

I
bought mc os x lion in my book air and i would like to transfer it in my iMc. How can i do it ?

Well, obviously the easiest way its been already said.
But u could also burn the Lion installer into a dvd maybe in caise you want to do it again in the future.
Steps:
1-Re-Download Lion from the AppStore, if it says you Can´t, just hold the alt key while you get into the purchased tab on the AppStore and then click on re-download.
2-Wait till its downloaded and then the install window will appear, but dont hit install.
3-Go to your Application folder now, and you'll see there the Lion Installer, then right click on that file, and burn it into a disk.
Thats it.
Hope it helps.
But as long as you have to re-download it, make the dvd but dont close the install window and after burning it, install it

Hi I just purchased a Mac Book Air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft and office

I purchased a mac book air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft Home and office.... would i need to purchase the latest version to upgrade
or is it upgradable through a download?

Office for Mac 2011 (or Office 365) are both available as downloads. Start at mactopia.com.
I would say they are not treated as "upgrades" to Office 2008. I don't believe there is any pricing discount for previous Office users, nor do I think the download uses any of the Office 2008 version and updates it. Whichever of the two current Office products you purchase would be considered an entirely new and different product.

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
