How can I know if the used macbook air I want to buy has been stolen?

Hi!
I'm looking to buy a used MacBook Air 11 inch - mid 2013. I have the serial number, but I can't find the date of purchase. The seller is not the first owner, he doesn't have the bill or any papers, he doesn't know when the original owner bought it, and he doesn't how to reach him either. When I try to look at the infos on https://selfsolve.apple.com/RegisterProduct.do?productRegister=Y&country=FRA&id= C02M5570F5N7, the site gives me the model and it ask me to confirm de date of purchase. LIke this:
Is it safe to buy this computer or not?
Thank you!

I concur with Barry Hemphill.
In the USA, if the property is determined to have been stolen, it must be surrendered by the individual in possession of it with no compensation.
The circumstances you describe are too suspicious.
Ciao.

  • I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.

    Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

    You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines.  If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

    I don't know whether you solve your problem or not! Anyway, I have the same problem. The program hangs when getInputStream is called.
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
    If you have the answer, please let me know. Thanks!!

  • How can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air?

    Somebody know how can i install iwork dvd in Macbook Air? I try to use the CD compartment from my Macbook pro, but it don't work... tks

    First, share your MB pro DVD drive on the network in System Preferences > Sharing.
    Insert the iWork DVD into the MBpro's drive.
    Then go to your MBair and click "Remote Disc" in the Finders Sidebar.
    You'll see your MBpro listed in the finder window.  Click the arrow next to The MBpro name and you'll see the shared DVD.  Double click that and the installation process should begin.

  • How can i remove MacKeeper from my macbook air?

    How can i remove MacKeeper from my macbook air?

    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

    Carole,
    If it talks about your password it is probably a scam.
    Take a look in your purchase history and see if there has really been a purchase.
    Also you can refer to this document:  Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email
