Can I find a stolen iMac

My iMac 24 was stolen.
Is there a way (maybe using my mobile me account) to indtify my stolen mac and connect to it remotly?
Can identify where it is ?(IP Num)
Can I copy and eraze the data from it?
thanks

Obviously, you can only rely on the local police unless someone thinks to connect it to the net.
If someone does connect it to the net, then it depends on things like: do you use Back-to-my-Mac? do you have it update DynDNS and have it configured to permit you to login to it? Etc. Are there any services that you use that your Mac contacts periodically that would leave a trail with a IP address?
If you didn't do anything that permits you to login to your computer or have it report where it is, there's not really too much you can do but file a police report and call your insurance company (if you have some sort of insurance that would cover it).

    how can i find my stolen imac ? i do have cloud id.

    You have to have an iCloud account, and you have to enabled the 'Find my iPad' app on the iPad prior to losing it. When lost, it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. If any of these conditions is not true it's not possible to locate it.
    To attempt to locate it if you have set it up prior to lsing it, go to  http://icloud.com and go to the 'Find My Phone' app there. However any competent thief will have disabled the ability to track it.

    can u find a stolen ipod if icloud isn't set up?

    Only the old fashioned way, like if your wallet/purse wass stolen.
    - 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - 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

  • New iMac can't find the old iMac via Ethernet

    I just bought a new 27" iMac and I am trying to migrate data from my old iMac.
    I have the two machines hooked together via Ethernet and have Etherenet turned on in the source iMac but the new iMac can't find the old iMac. The pinwheel keeps spinning with no success. What should I do here?

    Gramps wrote:
    What FireWire?
    There is no FireWire port on the new machine so this is a non-starter.
    Unfortunately you didn't read my post very thoroughly. You are correct, the new iMacs do not include FW however your old Mac probably does. For just that reason and more Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which you can use if you opt to use FW Target Disk Mode. You can find the adapter by going to your Apple online store or Amazon carries it to. Here is the Amazon link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366831510&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire+cable
    However as I mentioned use TM or a bootable clone with Migration Assistant. If your old Mac was using any verison of OS X from Leopard (10.5.x) on at the very least you should have a  Time Machine backup!
    Also use Pondiini's guide as AnaMusic suggests, it's THE GUIDE for using Migration Assistant and Setup Assistant. He has also created excellent guides for Time Machine too.

  • Can someone find my stolen iPod Touch for me?

    I bought my last iPod Touch at the Bakersfield, California Valley Plaza Mall Target store, but a thief stole it from me at the Bakersfield, California Truxtun-and-S Kern County Beale Memorial Public Library when I, while walking around the second floor for some exercise, had kept it on one of the patron second-floor desks still attached to my Motion Computing Tablet PC during downloading an OS update. The last post I had added to that same iPod Touch was a video of the use of a Spencer ******** sleeve with some lubrication they don't sell in their store. Yet, that video got stuck in transit in a holding cell while a new iOS update began. If that thief ever turns on my iPod Touch, my PC will notify me of that pod's whereabouts immediately. Why did that iOS update occur right at that moment when that same ******** video was to be either accepted or rejected as too obscene? My face is not in the video, which, in spite of its sexual content, might actually be educational and perhaps also business savvy. I made and posted the video because I wanted to convey my need for a real person to make love to, certainly not an object at all. The ******** sleeve makes my ***** look ridiculously like Alice in Wonderland dressed in her rings as depicted in some of the original illustrations in that fictional title's original book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Why did those spies get really calm and quiet all of a sudden?! Can someone please find my stolen iPod Touch for me? If that thief turns that pod on, I might get that Target refund card, which I might use to buy another iPod Touch because I love its Photoshop Express' photo-editing and graphic-design features. If I ever get another iPod Touch, however, I won't take it to the library or the bus stop, where I won't stand around using the Internet. Instead, I'll just use it as a second camera and photo-editing tool.

  • How can I find my stolen iphone 3Gs

    My iphone 3GS was stolen in March. I believe there is a new simcard (and phone number) in it. If I use "mobile.me" and the "find my iphone" app, can I find my phone? In other words, will it look for the serial number on the phone, or simply for the sim card with my old phone number?

    Other than using Mobile Me, there's really no other way to locate your iPhone. Most likely the person who has stolen your phone has already replaced the SIM card and is using it with his/her account.
    Be sure to call AT&T to deactivate the SIM. Neither AT&T nor Apple will assist law enforcement with tracking down your phone.

  • Where can I find a g5 iMac startup disk?

    Recently, I decided to sell my old iMac G5, as I don't need it anymore, as i have a new mac... I realized that I needed to wipe the memory before I could sell it, so I inserted the installation CD into the Mac, and went through the stages, selecting to completely erase all the memory at that stage... Afterwards, I told it to re install the original OS X onto it again, and I thought I would have done with it... HOWEVER, after a while, the Mac told me that there was a fault with the disk and I should try again... When i did, the same thing happened again, and the time after that... So now, I have a mac that is completely wiped of any software, so I can't even open it as I used to, AND it won't install any software, so it can't - it seems - ever be opened again.
    The only soloution it seems I can find is to track down another pair of installation CDs, So where could I find one/order one from??? Please bear in mind I live in the UK.
    Thanks in advance,
    Matthew.

    I have those and I don't need them, but I live in Finland.
