  • Can Apple shut down a stolen Macbook?

    My 13 inch Macbook was stolen and I wanted to know if there was any way to shut down the laptop. I dont have the serial number as I purchased it a long time ago.

    No. If you did not have Find My Computer installed and configured, then there is no way to locate it.

  • How can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

    how can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

    You can't. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered.
    - 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

  • How can I shut down a stolen iTouch?

    My older brother David sold his 4G iTouch to our friend Michael.
    Michael claims he left it w his mother here in Oregon before he moved
    Down to New Mexico. Myself and David's friend Meagan have received
    Text messages from someone by the name Austin. Michael says
    It's been stolen recently, so says his mother. David would like to 100%
    Deactivate the iTouch itself before more people are disturbed. We have
    All the iTouch information except the serial number. If there's any
    Way possible we can shut it down, please let us know. Thank you.

    If you had previous set up the FindMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected and the iPod has not bee restored, go to iCloud, sign in and go to FindMyiPhone. Select the iPod and select the wipe/erase option. After wiping you will not longer be able to do anything with the iPod. If it has been restored then you also can't do anything.
    Apple will not help

  • HT1414 My Ipod Touch have a black screen when an app shut down and I can not shut down the Ipod. The screen is still black and I did the press two buttons solution and it doesn't work. What I have to do now?

    My Ipod Touch have a black screen when an app shut down and I can not shut down the Ipod. The screen is still black and I did the press two buttons solution and it doesn't work. What I have to do now?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can't shut down since latest Software Update

    Software Update failed, see thread on following post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6866395#6866395
    Basic summary - Software Update wouldnt install latest Security & Safari updates. I managed to verify & repair my disk using Disk Utility. Software update still didn't work, so I downloaded latest security update & safari 3 manually. Restarted ok.
    However, I now can't shut down my laptop. Apple Menu > Shut Down just doesn't work. Nothing happens. Same with Restart or Force Quit. Sleep is working fine.
    To shut my computer down now, I have to press & hold the on/off button.
    This has happened a few times over the last couple of years, but since latest update its constant, have to force shut down every time. Disk is verified ok by Disk Utility.
    Not keen on doing a full OSX re-install just yet, so any ideas?
    Cheers

    HI B Real,
    How much free drive space do you have on your PBook? If it's less then 15%, that could be your answer. The easiest way to find this information is to open a Finder window. At the bottom of that window the free drive space will be displayed. If it's 15% or less... that could very well be your culprit. Transfer files to an external drive/iDisk/iPod, or CD/DVD's if your PBook has a SuperDrive.
    Also, maybe your Software Update preference file is corrupted. Try this... locate this
    file: com.apple.softwareupdate.plist It's here: Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
    I hope something helps...

  • Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

    iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop.  Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

    iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
    And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
    Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
    Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
    System boot drive
    Media and data folders and such
    scratch
    backup
    etc
    I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
    If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
    Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
    You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
    Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
    Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

    I can't close safari (option is greyed out) and I can't shut down the computer because of it. How do I fix this?

    Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

  • I can't shut down my MacBook Pro.  I'm getting the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress." How can I determine what is running?

    I can't shut down my MacBook Pro.  Each time I try, I get the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress."  How can I determine what is running?

    Yea,
    I bought an original CRT iMac  two day's before  they were launched, which got the reseller into trouble, and had it replaced by APPLE.
    This was a great learning process for me dealing with the glitches. :-)
    I LOVE MAC. Now own 4 and on my 10th. in 15 years + 7  bought for family.

    Can apple help me find my iPod touch 5g??? I have already reported it to the police and they haven't called back, i also have the find my iPhone app in it but I don't have the location thingy turned on so what else can I do to locate it pleazz help this iPod is relly valuable to me I had gotten it for Christmas and now I proved that I can't be trusted with it HELP :c

    Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
    Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
    Regards.

  • Can not shut down.

    So I can not shut down either of my MacBooks, 2006 Macbook and 2008 Aluminum Macbook, by going Apple>Shutdown. It just sits there and does nothing. Same thing happens when I go to Restart, Logout, or Sleep. I have repaired my permissions and disk and have scanned for viruses and nothing is wrong in either department. I did not download anything new or install a bootcamp partition or any new VM via VMWare. It just randomly started happening one day. Then when I got the new Macbook, I transfered my Applications and it still happened, which is what made me think it was either a virus or permissions. I have also tried to create a new user of each usergroup, ie Admin, Guest, etc... and I still have the same result.
    Any solutions or idea would be greatly appreciated.

    Somewhere in other posts, it's been mentioned to check the processes in Activity Monitor; I will be doing the same tonight when I am in front of mac at home.
    Meanwhile, you could try the same, try looking any drivers or any other processes that might be preventing the shutdown.
    Hope it helps.

  • Can't shut down / restart after Leopard upgrade

    The installation went ok - I had to unplug all peripherals for it to reboot at the end of the install.
    Now when I want to shut down or restart, it just doesn't. After a while it brings an error message that it can't shut down because an application (e.g. firefox) doesn't want to quit. Even if I close all running applications, it still comes back and says it can't close Finder (at that point, there is no menu bar on top anymore, however the application bar on bottom is still there - showing now application active. And then it just sits there. I have to push and hold the power button for it to switch off.
    Anybody any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks -

    Yes. I know. If you could type everything about the problem, it would be too long for anyone to read.
    Be patient, because I would like to track down where you are getting this "hang."
    If you "Quit" (via command Quit) all open appications except Finder (verify this by opening the Apple icon --> Force Quit and verify that nothing except "Finder" is showing); disconnect all external firwire and USB devices; and then choose shut down, do you still get a hang?
    If it still hangs, and you get the message that you can't shut down because some application will not quit, then open Aptivity Monitor (Applicaitons --> Utilities), are any of the processes listed displayed in red?
    I think that the deal is that you've got an applicaiton hanging that is preventing a system shup down. I bet we can find the culprit.
