Can I tell if I have activated any tracking software on my Macbook that will help me find it.
My Macbook Pro was stolen today. I know that I have logged into iCloud from this laptop before but I am not sure that I have specifically activated any tracking software. Can anyone suggest any ideas for tracking this down - unlikely I think.
Find my Mac may be enabled on your MacBook Pro. To check this, open http://www.icloud.com on any PC or Mac, log in with your Apple ID and choose Find my iPhone. Your Mac's location will show up if it's connected to the Internet, and you will be able to lock or wipe it. Also, you can do this through an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the Find my iPhone app.
If you can't track the MacBook, there's no way to locate it at the moment. If the thief erased the MacBook, you won't be able to track it anymore even if you enabled Find my Mac

i bought an iphone 3g but not in a shop and when i turn it on it tells me your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is unavailable what can i do to just have it working legit ?? , please anyone that could help me out
Generally, that means the phone has been jailbroken (hacked). You can try restoring it as new using iTunes. Beyond that, there's really nothing we can advise as jailbroken phones can't be supported on these forums.

How can i tell if i have flashback malware
How can I tell if I have the flashback malware? Will installing the latest security update get rid of the malware /virus and protect my computer?
Here's what I am suggesting as a rudimentary test for some of the known strains of the flashback trojans. Open a terminal window and copy/paste each of the following lines hitting return after each one and note the results:
defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents
grep "/Users/$USER/\..*" ~/Library/LaunchAgents/*
For the two defaults command if you get anything other than a "does not exist" error message post the results since you are almost certainly infected.
The third command, ls, just lists the contents of your LaunchAgents, if any. That's additional info to be used in conjunction with the last grep command. If the grep shows any results then that too may indicate infection and again post its results. -

How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?
Hi jrector3,
You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.
You can also go to the help menu and check if 'Deactivate' option is highlighted.

how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?
Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

I have lost my iPad and would like to block it from being reregistered. It is a wifi only and does not have a sim card. I did not sign up for any tracking software either. Can apple block the serial number?
No.
Apple can do nothing.
You cannot block it from being "registered".
If you did not set up find my ipad before it was lost, then there is nothing you can do but change your passwords. -
