I sold an Imac which the buyer didn't pay for can I find it operating by it's serial number?

I need information to track down an Imac I sold, I have the serial number but that's it, can it be found by it's serial number?

No, there's no straightforward way to pinpoint the location of a desktop computer by serial number.

    The person who sold you the device can remove the ID without giving it to you. Follow the steos in "What to do if you no longer have the device." In the artcle below. If you can't find the person or they won't do it you're stuck with a unusable device.

  • HT4059 Noticed a category on the itunes store which has "Paid" on it.  I didn't pay for those books?  What does this mean?

    Noticed when I went to the iTunes store that there's a place that says "PAID".  I didn't pay for any of those books.  What does this mean?

    I'm not entirely sure where you are looking, but some books you need to pay to be able to download them from the store, but there will also be some (e.g. old classics) which are free to download - your previous ibook purchases/downloaded will show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer, and in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on your phone

  • I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8 I need a portable external harddrive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?

    I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
    I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?  I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in.  500GB should be more than adequate.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

    Hi, I have recently downloaded a trial version of Ps CC (I am still using Ps CS6). All my presets have migrated very nicely to the CC version from the CS6 one. However, I can't find any of the plug-ins which I have in CS6, such as Imagenomic Noiseware, Google NIK Collection, etc. in the CC version. How do I "migrate" the plug-ins to Ps CC? I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks

    Plug-Ins are not Presets.  You need to install Plug-in into CC just like you had to install Plug-ins into CS6.

  • When I am downloading a free application (foursquare) in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

    I am currently using iPhone 3GS and when I am going to download foursquare which is a FREE application in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? For further informations, I am currently using Windows running Vista. Special thanks to those who replied.

    Your iTunes account sounds like it does not have a credit card or payment attached to it. Even free apps require that you have entered payment information even though you won't be charged for the app.

    I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant.  The message on both machines say that the process was successful but I can not find the files on the mac.  Any ideas?

    When you use Migration Assitant it creates another user account and puts your files there. Please log out of your normal account and log into the new account. Had you use Setup Assistant when it asked if you were migrating that would not have occured. You have a couple of options, combine the two accounts (not recommended) or start over, use Setup Assistant and have everything in one user account. Here is a link to Pondin's guide for Lion Setup Assistant tips however if you want to combine the two accounts he has addressed that in

  • HT201471 Why can't I just type in my apple serial number and identify which ipad that I have?

    Why can't I just type in an ipad serial number and find out what model it is?  This used to be a function of the Apple Tech Specs.  Why has it been removed?  If it is in a different place, where is it?

    Have you tried here? This will tell you which model of iPad you have when you enter the serial number.

  • Getting 1/2 the speed I'm paying for & in too much pain to be on phone for hours--HELP

    My children do a Cyber school and have been getting disconnected from class for months now.  I'm also having losing the internet at random times on my desktop. A friend told me how to check my speed (since I know so little about computers) and I found out I'm only getting 1/2 the speeds I'm paying for!!!!  I've called Verizon customer service in WHATEVER COUNTRY 6 times now but I have to hang up after any longer than 35 minutes because of chronic pain!  Tech makes me turn off my router, check my speed, (when I know they can see the speed right in front of them, after 1 rep told me the speed without my asking) and computer share.   Nothing gets resolved, I NEVER GET THE CALL FROM A SUPERVISOR THAT WAS PROMISED, and Verizon closes out the problem after 72 hours!!  Seems  like EVERYONE ELSE HERE GETS THE SAME RUNAROUND AND LACK OF RESPECT!!  One billing person offered me a refund for the difference in speed for only 1 month and offered me to upgrade!!  I can't afford to upgrade and the Cyber will work if I would only get the speed I had when 1 started with Verizon in 2002!  I said UNACCEPTABLE and am having to call back once a week (because that's all I can handle)  to try to get a Supervisor!  Can anyone tell me how to get help without the exhaustion of being on the phone forever?! 
         All I know is I'm paying for 1.1-3 mbps but only getting .439-.864mbps download and 0.08-0.09 upload speeds and I have a Westfall 327W 8 year old modem.

    Thank you for replying and sorry it took so long to respond.  Now I can't get into my Verizon email so I didn't know I had a response on this site. I was also physically unable to sit at my computer.  Here is the info you requested:
    Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0   Vendor ID Code: 4   Line Mode: G.DMT Mode   Data Path: Interleaved     Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream PathDSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 864 160 Margin (dB) 20.5 31.0 Line Attenuation (dB) 44.5 29.0 Transmit Power (dBm) 3.3 11.1
    on 8/15 I had the slowest download speed yet of 0.17 mbps! I am paying for 1.1-3mbps.  My modem is 6 or 7 years old.  I'm not sure if I mentioned the last 2 sentences before.

  • Not getting the speed I'm paying for

    I've been a happy Fios customer for years and I've always upgraded to their latest and greatest the second it became available since Fios has, in the past, always outperformed whatever was promised. However things have changed. I upgraded to the 75/35 package, the highest level available in my area, but I've never achived that speed, but in the days after the upgrade it was close enough for me to be happy, around 70mb on the downloads. However in the months since then it was gotten slower and slower to now where I'm happy if I'm getting 50mb downloads. While that is still fast, that is what I got when I was on the cheaper 35/35 plan I had before I upgraded (as I said they used to overachive). All I want is what I'm paying for, if they could go over that be wonderful but it isn't required. What is required is that they come close to the numbers I'm paying for -- and those 50mb numbers are just getting to their local test servers, not even real world numbers which are slightly slower than that.
    To answer ahead of time, I don't use bittorrent -- but I do download a ton of stuff via Netflix, YouTube and Steam. Then again I've always done that. There is no reason I would be being throttled.
    So not to condem Fios since I've always been a happy customer, my router from them is I think about 4 years old -- in addition to the lack of speed I'm running into issues of having to reset it more often and the internet going dead if something is running at max download, like Steam. I'm thinking, hoping, that maybe just my router needs to be replaced. Since this is supposed to be a monitored forum how do I go about this without spending an hour on the phone doing what I've already done by myself 10 times before. For the record I was doing internet tech support as far back as 1996, I'm an extremely experienced user and have no interest in having someone tell me to reboot my router -- I know, I've done that.
    Assuming that someone is reading this that can help please contact me with information on how to replace the router, just send me a new one in the mail, I'll be extremely happy with that.
    Thank you,
    Christopher

    Someone may chime in to help you out here. Otherwise, just stop by Live Chat or give Tech Support a call. Tell them you're having to reboot your router a lot and you believe it's going bad. Verizon's typically very good with sending you a new router without question.
    Give your router a factory reset, though, and make sure it's not covered in dust. Just to give that a try
    Also, if you use MoCa for WAN connectivity, consider checking your MoCa signal levels to see if your Coaxial connections are acting up. That can also cause your Internet to decrease in speed and drop out under high load. See: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16569

    Hi Rebecca
    I spend a fair bit of time answering question on this forum, but I had to do a clean reinstall of my operating system, and reload all programs recently. And I can't say it was particulary easy to find and download the Desktop Application manager, which handles the rest of the installations for you.

    I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi.   The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks.   I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help.   They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition.   They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone.    This is extremely annoying!    They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

    My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...
