Help! My house was broken into and they stole my MacBook Pro
How do I find my Mac without icloud?
you can't. But read this too: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2526. Also, see if your homeowners insurance may cover it.

<Edited by Host>Not unless some form of tracking software was installed & running prior to your Mac being stolen or Find My Mac was setup & activated. Otherwise, there is no way to track your computer.

I had even restored my iPhone before this happened and the messages were still retrieved.
I think you have serious issues here. It's not your iPhone only that was hacked but your iCloud and Keychain too.
iCloud hack is where the danger comes from to you.
You need to fix your iCloud issues by changing the password. Delete your whole key chain and generate new passwords using Safari, they are hard to crack.
The weakest link in using key chain is the passcode on your device followed by the password to access key chain. These two basically give access to your data saved in the cloud.
I strongly suggest that you speak to Apple about this, they are helpful and they take security seriously. -
Hi there this is my first question here!
I connected my external hard drive originally formatted on PC on my new Macbook. The first time I connected it I could see all my files but today I connected it and after I couldn't see any file nor even on my pc appears as NO NAME with a different name and nothing on it. I think was reformatted, any help to recover all my data?
It's really important stuff for meIf the Apple Store couldn't get files off of the drive, it is unlikely that you will be able to. If you have backups, those would be the best way to go. You could also try booting up the computer and holding down T to boot into Target Disk Mode. Plug the broken computer into another one with FireWire and see if it works to recover data from external hard drive. If you can see it, try booting up the broken computer while holding down Option. Choose Recovery HD from the menu, then choose to Reinstall OS X.
It is unlikely that this will work, because I'm pretty sure that the Apple Store would have tried this. You could try using expensive software to get files off the drive, but it would be risky and the results might not be any good.

My name is Mike. I live in New Zealand. My username is waipukurau1. I downloaded MacBook booster. I write to ask was this a good idea? Was this good and correct for my MacBook Pro. Please answer.
ashish35,
No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
Sorry and good luck,

Hello.
I am having much difficulty using any software drum program. I am trying to use EZ Drummer and the drum programs in Logic, with limited success. I was using them, and they were working, but this is no longer the case. Please help me navigate my way through these issues, if possible.
Thanks.
EricAha! I have sorted it.
For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin -
I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help
What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -

I have been reading online that to change or delete an account i need to login, or turn find my iphone off which i cannot do without the password!
I would be really grateful if anyone knew a way i could sort this out to fully delete the old icould account.
Thanks very much!Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

I went to Aruba on vacation and they stole all my stuff including my daughters iphone. I went to icloud but it states all devices are off line. Can you please help.
iCloud (http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device) are the only way that you might be able to try and locate it. What iOS version was on it ? If it was on iOS 7 then they won't be able to reset it without your password.
I assume that you've reported it to the police (?). You should also contact your carrier and change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -
i need help! i am trying to update iphoto on my macbook pro that i had bought from someone else. although i am signed into my account when trying to update it is asking me for the previous owners account details and it wont let me change it to my details how can i solve this problem please.
thank you
Jan RobinsonThat's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.
