Can iCloud find a Macbook Pro with the Serial number?

My Macbook pro was stolen about a year ago but I was wondering since iCloud came out if the theft downloads it does it register the serial number and all that information? I still have my box and all its information. Would that be a possible way to locate it?

    Can I find my I pad with my seriL number

    Are you talking about a lost or stolen iPad? If so, you will have had to install the Find My iPhone application and activated it on your iPad before it went missing. If not, even having the serial number will not help in locating it.

  • Can apple find my ipod touch with the serial number?

    I'm wondering how to find my Ipod touch and if it is possible to go to an Apple store, give them my lost ipod's serial number, and find it somehow. Can anyone tell me anything?

    - No.  The SN will only help idenify the iPod as yours if it is recovered. Apple will do nothing
    - If youu hadturn on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on you may be able to find its general location by going to icloud.com, signing  in and going to FindMyiPhone,. However, that can be defeated by turing the iPOd off or restoring the iPod.
    - Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • How can I download Adobe Acrobat X Pro with the serial number but no CD?

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro months ago, and I need to install it on a second computer. I can only find one of the CDs in the case with the serial number. I can't view my order in the history because it was months ago. The history only shows past 30 days.
    If there a way for me to download what I need since I have the serial number and another license?

    Download the trial version from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-x-10-pro-reader-suite-direct-download-links-ddl.ht ml
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.
    When you launch the trial, enter your serial number to convert it to a full version.

  • Can you locate your iTouch 5 with the serial number?

    Can you locate your iTouch by just the serial number?

    No. It will only help identify your iPod 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How can I find MAC address based on the serial number of a missing IpodTouch 4th Gen?

    My Ipod touch 4th Generation is lost.  If I can find the MAC address, the Univeristy can help locate the device.  I have the serial number, is there any way I can find the MAC address based on the serial number?  I did not install a third party app on the IPod to help find it and it is not registered on iCloud, but I used it on iCloud.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Did you turn on FindMyiPd is Settings>iCloud and is the iPod connected to wifi? That is all that is needed for for Apple FindMyiPhone
    Maybe Apple can find the MAC address

  • I purchased a used Macbook Pro and the serial number is registered to another user.

    That is not correct as far as the Applecare extended warranty. It has to be transfered.

  • Can i track my i pod with the serial number??

    Someone stole my I pod off a church bus can you please give me some ways to track it down!!

    No. The serial number only helps identify you as the owner in case the device is found or the police recover it. Report the theft to the police. Then say a prayer.

  • Is there a way to find a stolen ipod with the serial number?

    a few days ago my ipod touch 4th gen was stolen and i was wondering if there was a way to track it using the serial number?

    "yeah but there is still a way that you may track a phone"
    Yes.  GPS and Cell tower triangulation.  They also appeared in front of congress to answer for doing this.  And they will NOT track a lost iphone either.
    " i dont see why they cannot use the same thing to find an ipod "
    They will not track a lost iphone either, for the same reason.
    "hey could use the wifi to track the serial number"
    No they cannot for the reason provided.  Privacy law violations among other things.
    You could have used the find my ipod app to do this.  Apple cannot, just as no other manufacturer of devices will do it.
    Sorry.

  • Can I buy a MacBook Pro with a foreign keyboard in the US?

    I will be moving to Sweden soon and was wondering whether or not I am able to buy a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard, in the US?  It is a lot cheaper buying one in the US than in Sweden (I would save a few hundread dollars). The computer I am interested in is the 13 inch MacBook Pro with the Retina display.
    If I am able to do so, do you know how I would order it? I can not find any options for it online...
    Anyways, thanks alot in advance!

    call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask.  You will most likely have to order it over the phone.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.
