Is it possible to track down your stolen MacBook Pro if it not connected to wifi or on your Apple ID?

Hi I've had my New MacBook Pro stolen before I got a chance to put it on my Apple ID?
Is it traceable even tho it's not connected to the net?

No, it is not traceable.
Contact your insurance company and check to see if your credit card company offers coverage for this. Some do. You should also report it to law enforcement. You will need the serial number for this. If you don't have it, contact whoever sold it to you, they may be able to get the s/n.
Best of luck.

  • Deauthorize a stolen MacBook Pro - "deauthorize all" not an option

    My MacBook Pro was stolen yesterday, and I'd like to deauthorize that laptop so the thieves can't access the music (assuming they can hack the account and get into the machine without a wiping it clean first). I only have two other machines authorized (home iMac, wife's MBP), so I don't have the full 5 accounts authorized to "deauthorize all". Any ideas how I can deauthorize the stolen laptop?

    Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
    One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
    If not, and you've already done the "deauthorize all" in the last calendar year, you'll have to contact the iTunes Store and ask if they'll deauthorize your systems for you.

  • Stolen MACBook Pro is still "Offline".

    Home robbery, 25 July.  How long does my MACBook Pro have to be connected to wifi in order to get a "last known location" to populate on Find My Devices?  I have received ONE email message so far that the sound has been played and the system locked.  The thief must have closed it too quickly because I did not get a location on the map like I do for my other devices.  If the MACBook is turned on but NOT in the vicinity of wifi, will the user see my message or only if they are near wifi?

    Not sure about how long does it has to connect to wifi in order to find the location, though it might be not that long, I suppose.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • How can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

    how can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

    You can't. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

    Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

    I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
    When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
    There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

  • Anyway of tracking a stolen macbook pro?

    anyway of tracking a stolen macbook pro?

    I believe that find my iphone also works over icloud for laptops. If it's connected to the internet, just go online and look up find my iphone, and it'll show your device (even though its not an iphone) on a map.

  • Is it possible to find the mac adress of my stolen macbook pro?

    Is it possible to find the mac adress of my stolen macbook pro? I've mad ea research an found out that the Mac Adress is really important to trace the device. But it's too late to check that on my laptop.. What should i do?

    I understand that. But about your only shot without the box is to supply Apple with the serial number and ask them for the MAC info. My thought was if you can supply the serial number it's more proof that you're the owner. There's really no other way to get it without their help.

    How do you track stolen MacBook Pro with iCloud

    If you had set up Find My Mac on your MacBook before it was stolen, go to http://www.icloud.com and log in, then press Find My <Something> there.
    If you did not set up Find My Mac, it's too late now.  You cannot track it.

    I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

  • Find Stolen MacBook Pro

    I have registered the MacBook Pro with my apple Id, and I see that the MacBook is offline and cannot be located in the find my iPhone app.
    If the thief reloads the operating system will I still be able track the MacBook because logically the serial number should remains the same.
    Please do let me know as I have a lot of personal data in it.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Regards,

    I still got a police report and my macbook pro box.

  • Finding a stolen Macbook Pro

    Hello fellow Apple users.
    So, as noted, my Macbook Pro had been stolen like 3 or 4 months ago. I had the device connected on Find my iPhone via icloud.com
    When my device was stolen, I immediately went on icloud.com and selected "Play a sound" and other options that were available. But the problem was, the device was not connected to the internet. So I went on with time, bought myself a new Macbook Pro and forgot about that one a little... But today, I got a mail from Find my iPhone, that a sound was played on that stolen Macbook Pro. Now I went quickly on icloud, but the device was no longer on my list, so someone probably reset it. Is there anything I could to, to at least get to know the location of it when the sound played or maybe it's current location? Thank you for your help!

    My iMac was stolen 2 weeks ago and I just got the same emails, one that a sound played on it and another that it is locked.
    According to the Find my iPhone app, shouldn't you be able to see the location for 24 hours, even if they went offline again? My device is still showing on my list, just offline. Now I have less than 24 hours to figure out why I can't see the last location...
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
