HT3255 my MacBook Air and iPhone 5 has been stollen, how can i block them. They were new. Never used.

My MacBook Air and I phone 5 has been stolen, how can I block them. They were new and unused.

If they were "unused", then it is very unlikely that "Find My Mac" or "Find My iPhone" is set up in order to locate, erase and/or remotely disable the systems.
All you are really left with is ordinary law enforcement in order that you report the incident and hope that they surface in that manner.

  • I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?

    I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?

    It depends on which operating system was on it when it was released.  Older MBAs need disks or a special thumb drive to boot for OS recovery.
    Let’s assume it is new enough that it has a recovery partition built in.  You can try this and see if it works and if it doesn’t work then it is old enough to need he aforementioned recovery media.
    It is simple.  First you format the system disk and then you install OS X.
    You will need to be in an area with a good wireless Internet signal.
    Boot in Recovery Mode:
    Power it on and when you hear the bong hold down the Command and R keys simultaneously.
    Format the system disk:
    > Disk Utility
    > Select your system drive.
    > Partition
    > Partition Layout: 1 Partiton
    > Options...
    > GUID Partition Table
    > OK
    > Name: Macintosh HD
    > Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
    > Apply
    > Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility
    Install OS X:
    > Click on Install OS X and follow the instructions.

  • My iphone has been stolen, how can I retrieve my contacts without sim and having never backed up

    My iphone has been stolen and I have never backed up my phone so how cn I retrieve my contacts as I have no recoed of the sim number

    The iPhone doesn't save contacts to the SIM card so I don't know what good knowing the SIM card number would do you. If you have no back up of the contacts, they are lost.

  • My iPhone has been stolen, how can I delete the data on it while at the same time, keeping my number.

    Hi there,  My iPhone has been stolen.  I have managed to get a replacement SIM with the same number.  Is there any way I can have the data on the stolen phone deleted or have it tracked and stopped of its use.  I did have Find me App but I am not sure if it was set up. I do not have the phones serial or technical details although iTunes always showed it when connected to my laptop.  Thanks  Bernie

    Use your computer and the Find My iPhone on www.iCloud.com and see if it locates your iPhone. If it does then you can wipe it remotely. If not you have no way to do so.
    Be sure to change all passwords for sites that were accessed from your iPhone.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

    I cannot access my iphoto application on my imac as it says I have made changes in Iphoto using a newer version. We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2.  I am awaiting the upgrade discs for snow leopard and then to Lion for the iMac but is there a way to access my photos until this arrives?

    You need to completely repartition the drive and install a suitable version of OS X that you own. What is the exact year and model of this MBA you have? Did it come with installer discs? If it's a 2010 or later model you can accomplish this using Internet Recover: About OS X Recovery.
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
