not to you. But they will cooperate with the police if asked.

My macbook pro got stolen, is there a way to track it down?

Not if you had not already installed and configured software for tracing it. If you hadn't done that before it got stolen, your only option is to report it to the police and let them handle it.

My MacBook pro got stolen last night. I want to report it. How do I go abt it.

(have made a police report)

The Yellow Pages should have the phone of the Police Dept. Being it is not a life threatening situation, calling 911 seems an overkill.
Apple does not have a law enforcement dept. Best you can do, IF you enabled Find My Mac and carry your stuff in a FileVault container, is Remote Wipe it clean to keep your info from the thieves claws and prevent an identity theft as well.

My MacBook pro got stolen in Lebanon. It's a 15" . It run on IOSX and I dont have ICloud. Is there a way to track my laptop? Thank you

Hi. My MacBook pro 15" got stolen in lebanon. It run on IOSX and doesn't have Icloud. Is it possible to retrieve the laptop by it's serial number and specification. Any answer is helpful cause it contains many important informations and documents

If you didn't install any tracking software on it, then no, you can't track it. Report the loss to the police and to your insurer. The chances that you will ever see the machine again range from nil to negligible. If you're smart, you have backup copies of your documents.
Contact any financial institutions with which you've conducted transactions online for advice on protecting your identity. Cancel your credit cards if you've shopped online, and change all your onlline passwords immediately.

Hello my macbook pro got stolen!!!

how can i find it, i didnt have icloud, i read something about serching with IP. HELP PLEASE!!!

I'm afraid that unless you have an iCloud account and have enabled 'Find my Mac' on your Mac before it was stolen there is no way you will be able to locate it.

My MacBook pro got stolen--- HELP!!!

Two days ago I left my MacBook in my car and someone smash the window and took it with my bag and everything, I already filed a police report and contacted apple. I had LoJack installed on it but I had a password on my computer and I've been doing research and for what Ive seen if they change the HD, LoJack won't work, is this true?, can someone please explain this. If someone takes it for service does apple take away??
Someone please help

I'm afraid if they replace the hard drive you are going to be out of luck. There is no way to reinstall LoJack remotely. It's also possible the theives are simply not connecting to the Internet, or they wiped the hard drive and reinstalled a new operating system.
Any luck with your car insurance?

Stolen macbook pro - gmail syncing question

Hi,
My macbook pro was stolen from my apartment at the weekend - sometime between Saturday morning and Monday evening. Unfortunately I do not have 'findmymac' or anything enabled. Knowing the time that the thief got into the apartment would make it much easier to identify the guilty person for reasons I won't bother to go into here - so I decided to look at my gmail, facebook and dropbox activity to see when they were last used. My gmail device history tab lists the last 'sync' with my macbook as happening as 12.28pm on Saturday - roughly one hour after we left the apartment to go away for the weekend. What could explain this sync? I left my gmail logged in, and my macbook on sleep mode, so could someone opening the macbook have triggered the sync? Or could a sync somehow have been triggered without anyone touching the laptop?
Many thanks for your help.

So just accept it? Are there any successful examples that people get back their stolen mac/iphone/ipad ?
Plenty. I read about them all the time in my local newspaper.
Like Kappy told you previously, move on and/or buy another.
The good news:
If you have homeowners or rental coverage check w/them. Most policies cover stolen property. If your MBP was stolen from your car, make a claim w/your auto carrier.
If you purchased your computer w/a credit card, check w/them also. You just may be covered for stolen items.

If my MacBook pro gets stolen...

Hi Question.
On my MacBook pro I have a firmware password, filevault is on and so is find my iphone icloud service.
Lets imagine my MacBook Pro gets stolen.
Lets imagine I use icloud to register it as "Lost" or even "Erase" the MacBook Remotely.
What happens if the person who stole it inserts a new disk into the MacBook Pro?
Can the MacBook then be used with a different disk? i.e. is it still usable?
I understand iPhones become unusable if one does this. But MacBooks? Only the ones with Mavericks? Also Older Mac

Thank you for your answer but sorry, not only is that as far as I can see not correct, it unfortunately also doesnt answer my question.
A disk removed from one mac can surely be placed in another, formatted and reused. Disks are not mac specific.
My question was different please can someone else take this perhaps?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

Provide the computer's firmware password. If you don't know what it is, contact the person you got the computer from or Apple.

SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app?

My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app? Or would it be untraceable after it was wiped? I had alot of special things on my laptop, and I would hate it if I didn't find it, so I'm hoping it wasn't wiped and I will be able to find it soon, HELP ME IF YOU CAN PLEASE! ANYTHING HELPS!

If that drive was erased, you should have received a confirmation email.
