Help! I think my laptop was stolen, but the light is still on for "internet"...

Does this mean the connection is still active, meaning it's around my house and just misplaced?
Thank you so much, I'm really hysterical because we really can't find it or the charger for it at all...

If numbers 1,2,3,4 ethernet light is on, then this means that something is plugged in there, this could be a computer, printer or any networking devices. The internet light is lit up because you modem is apparently connected to the internet port.
Basically, those lights in front of the router indicates that there are devices connected at the back of the router.

my house had a break-in, laptop was stolen and the thief is connected now to my skype!
how can i get the IP address, isn't there some option like in gmail i can see who besides me is connected to the account right now?

I think you can consider reporting this matter to your local police. Then they can contact Skype to request for possible information or assistance. Skype will only provide sensitive information such us user's IP address to the proper law enforcement bodies.

My laptop was stolen but "Find My Mac" has located it. Now how do I get it back?

Hi All,
Early this morning, a friend of mine called me to tell me her laptop was stolen. She asked me to help her track it using iCloud find my mac. The theives also stole her wallet and other things from her car so this isn't something that was just misplaced and an innocent person came across it. My question is, now that I know where it is (within a couple hundred feet vicinity) what is the best approach I can use to get this back for my friend? She's got years of family pictures and does not have the laptop backed up so this is very important to her. Any ideas?
It shows the laptop around 4200 S Wade Way (about 3260 w), West Valley City, Ut
Please, any advise would help!
Thanks,
Caleb

Well, I did contact the police with all this information. They actually went to one of the houses with me (the one on the corner) and it was an old man who was very polite who lived at home alone and didn't seem like the type. Instead of knocking on the other doors with me, the police said, "Your locating program is probably just wrong and it's not here." he wouldn't knock on any other doors so I plan on going tomorrow morning and knocking but the chances of anyone confessing are slim so I don't know what approach to go at with them. I don't know why find my mac doesn't let you leave a message like find my iPhone because I would leave a message saying "this mac has been misplaced. If you return it, the owner will reward you with $500 without pressing charges or asking how you came across the laptop. Please call -------, but, no. All I can do is knock. lol

My iPhone was stolen. The thief is still receiving my iMessages.

My iPhone was stolen last week. I did a remote wipe, but the thief is still receiving my iMessages from other friends with iOS5. I would really appreciate any help.
What I've done:
I called Verizon, and they redirected me to Applecare.
I called Applecare, and they said to change my Apple ID password.
I did this and sent my number an iMessage from my friend's phone; it was delivered and read.
I called Applecare again, and they said to get the ID cancelled through iTunes.
I contacted iTunes, and they said that iMessage is not associated with Apple ID, and cancelling my Apple ID will not stop the stolen phone from receiving my iMessages.
I changed my Apple ID email, password, and billing address in hopes that it would do something to disassociate my Apple ID from iMessage. No luck.
I really don't know what to do now. I don't like that my stolen phone is receiving messages from my friends.
P.S. I've also been sending that ******* obscene messages from my friends' phones.

Why you did not use Find my iPhone and now you would be able to brake hands to this fu*king bast*rd! haha

If you backed up your other phone to iCloud, you can restore the new one to the backup, which should recover your photos as well as other data and settings. You are given the option to restore to your iCloud backup when you first set up a new phone (see image below). If you already set up your new phone, you'll have to erase it, then go back through the setup again to access this option.
To do this, tap Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Then follow the on-screen setup again, choose Restore from iCloud Backup when given the option, then select the backup from your old phone to restore from. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as restoring an iCloud backup can take a while to finish.

My laptop was stolen and the only copy of the songs I own is on my ipod

with a fresh install of Itunes, do I just sync them back to my new computer?

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

I have changed my username and password but the apps are still asking for my old username and password. How do I change that

I have changed my username and password for my apple account but the apps previously linked to it are still asking for the old info. And I don,t know it so that's why I updated it

Apps are permanently tied to the ID and password used to purchase them. If you do not remember that information, you cannot update them. If you ned these apps, you will have to repurchase them under your new ID.

I think my laptop was sent with the wrong Graphics Card....

I bought my laptop (dv6-7014nr) over a year ago and have continuously had issues with fram rates in games. I thought it might be damaged and finally ran a dxdiag. It indicated that my current graphics card was a 'Intel(R) HD Grpahics 4000" when it should actually be a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.
What do I do?

L7780 scan bar goes all the way across, but the light is only on for the first 1/2 inch

If one does a scan/copy with the thing open, one can see a bar run from one side to the other, lit in one direction. On my L7780, that light is no longer lit for the entire trip across, resulting in a mostly black scan/copy. What do I do? Repair? Replace?

This seems to be an hardware issue.
You may follow the steps to try resolve the issue.
1) Connect the printer directly to the wall jack (Bypass any surge protectors)
2) Disconnect the power chord from the back of the printer and reconnect it after 30 seconds while you are holding down the power button.

I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I have the serial number so is there any way Apple/iCoud can help trace it when the thief logs into Apple's website /store etc? Thanks

I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I know the serial number so is there any hope the thief can be tracked when he or she logs in to the Apple store etc? thanks

iOS devices cannnot be tracked or located with just the serial number. Unless you shared your Apple ID and password with anyone, then your account cannot be accessed at the iTunes Store.
