  • Finding a stolen Macbook Pro

    Hello fellow Apple users.
    So, as noted, my Macbook Pro had been stolen like 3 or 4 months ago. I had the device connected on Find my iPhone via icloud.com
    When my device was stolen, I immediately went on icloud.com and selected "Play a sound" and other options that were available. But the problem was, the device was not connected to the internet. So I went on with time, bought myself a new Macbook Pro and forgot about that one a little... But today, I got a mail from Find my iPhone, that a sound was played on that stolen Macbook Pro. Now I went quickly on icloud, but the device was no longer on my list, so someone probably reset it. Is there anything I could to, to at least get to know the location of it when the sound played or maybe it's current location? Thank you for your help!

    My iMac was stolen 2 weeks ago and I just got the same emails, one that a sound played on it and another that it is locked.
    According to the Find my iPhone app, shouldn't you be able to see the location for 24 hours, even if they went offline again? My device is still showing on my list, just offline. Now I have less than 24 hours to figure out why I can't see the last location...
    Any feedback would be appreciated.

  • HT2471 How do I find my stolen Macbook Pro's serial number?

    My Macbook pro has been stolen and then found by the police. I cannot have it back until I can prove that it is mine. I do not know my serial number and cannot find any of the sales reciepts or paper work.
    How can I recover this information?
    Any help appreciated,
    Deperate.

    If you registered your comp, Apple should still have a record. 
    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
    GOOD LUCK!

  • HT3255 Any way to find my stolen MacBook Air?

    Stolen yesterday. How can I find it?

    First,
    Did you have "Find my Mac" enabled and configured on your Air? This is the built-in means for the Air to be somewhat protected against loss by making the unit locatable if the thief were to use the guest account to login and use internet features.
    If no such preventative meaure was taken, then ordinary means of law enforcement are what you are left with.

  • STOLEN MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Serial number: C1*******TY4

    Hello to everyone,
    My Macbook Pro was stolen while travelling in China on my way from Yangshuo to Guilin.
    I know its maybe just another post about a stolen computer for everybody but I have to try anyways !
    The serial number is as stated above: C1*******TY4
    I have read countless articles and surfed the web for answers and advices on how to find my stolen Macbook.
    I only have the Air Port ID but not the IP adress and pre installed ICloud or tracking software alas...It has been reported to the police though
    If anybody has suggestions, infos, tips, anything, please contact me.
    Thank you in advance to everyone willing to contribute in any way possible because I am very frustrated and out of options.

    If you have your iCloud set up, you can use the iCloud service to see if your macbook is online. Go to http://www.icloud.com sign in with your apple ID and click on find my iPhone.On the top left under Devices make sure your Macbook is selected. It will display a rough approximation on it's location based on the whatever wired or wireless network it is connected to. Other than that, there isn't much you can do unless the idiot trys to sell it in Ebay or the police catches him before he/she sells it. Good luck.

  • Find Stolen MacBook Pro

    I have registered the MacBook Pro with my apple Id, and I see that the MacBook is offline and cannot be located in the find my iPhone app.
    If the thief reloads the operating system will I still be able track the MacBook because logically the serial number should remains the same.
    Please do let me know as I have a lot of personal data in it.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Bharath.

  • Is it possible to find the mac adress of my stolen macbook pro?

    Is it possible to find the mac adress of my stolen macbook pro? I've mad ea research an found out that the Mac Adress is really important to trace the device. But it's too late to check that on my laptop.. What should i do?

    I understand that. But about your only shot without the box is to supply Apple with the serial number and ask them for the MAC info. My thought was if you can supply the serial number it's more proof that you're the owner. There's really no other way to get it without their help.

  • Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

    Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

    Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline.  I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!

  • Trying to track my stolen Macbook pro...any ideas will help?

    Our home was recently broken into they made off with 2 Mac. One was a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, and a New IMac desk top monitor (dummies left the mouse and key board). We hadent downloaded any type of "ifind" apps to either computer, that we know of. However i feel strongly that there has to be a way to track one, if not both, of these computers. Everything with Macs needs to be registered. So if there are any ideas suggestions on how i might have a chance at finding our stolen items. it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Design3r

    My Macbook Pro 13.3" was taken by a taxi driver in Kathmandu, Nepal. I had bought it from Toronto. (I have information about an appointment day and time at an Apple Store in Toronto; I don't have the serial number of the macbook; Can that appointment time at the Apple store for repairs will be able to find me the serial no.? Please advise and help).
    Meanwhile I opened my Twitter account last week and found that someone had edited my Twitter details and has put his school name, his first name and the city name (Kathmandu) and had tweeted from my account. I found him from facebook and got his last name. From his pictures in Facebook I got the area. I went to that area and could find the house. I got the help of the police who raided his house. That was a young boy of 12 who was apparently trying to open a Twitter account on my macbook but I had my password saved.
    When the police interrogated that child he told that he used to use a cyber cafe which has been closed down, but the owner was his Facebook friend. From his Facebook account we got the phone number of that cyber cafe owner and got the call details. But meanwhile at one police station an officer called him directly and ordered him to come to the police station. He came with a small acer laptop and pleaded innocent. The matter was referred to cyber crime branch of Kathmandu police. Now they are asking me to bring the IP address when my twitter account was opened on January 17th.
    I am confused how to go about it. 90% investigation has been done by me but the police are not ready to do the rest 10%. Please let me know how can I find the IP address when my Twitter account was opened on January 17th? How can I get the serial number of my Macbook? Will the serial number be of any help in locating the Macbook? My Macbook was logged on to my name, can anyone log me off and use his own id to use the Macbook or will my name stay on it always for life? Please help with your advice. I have spent a lot of money on this matter.

  • Stolen macbook pro, offline, no serial #, not registered...help!

    I have a dire looking situation with a stolen macbook pro. It was stolen from me in an airport and its offline, no luck with icloud. I did not keep the box, nor the receipt (as i was traveling), I had not even registered it yet, it was brand new, and now I have no idea where to find the serial number.  I contacted Best Buy (bought off their website) to see if they keep serial numbers on sales, they said they didn´t, as I didnt have thier protection plan.
    Am I completely out of luck??

    andreaceleste,
    did you pay for it with a credit card? If so, that might be your only remaining proof of having purchased one at all. Of course, that won’t reveal what its serial number is. You’ll need to report its theft to whichever police force is in charge of that airport to have any chance of reïmbursement through your insurance company — be sure to keep all information provided to you by that police force, so that you can provide that information to your insurance company.

    I believe that find my iphone also works over icloud for laptops. If it's connected to the internet, just go online and look up find my iphone, and it'll show your device (even though its not an iphone) on a map.
