not unless you have a tracking program such as lojack installed on it or you had "find my mac" enabled on your mac.

  • Can I track my stolen mac book pro if I did not have an i cloud account activated on it before stolen.

    Can I track my stolen mac book pro if I did not have an i cloud account activated on it before stolen.?

    You needed to have Find my Phone set up and activated/on (which is in iCloud).
    PS: Since your profile shows you're running iOS - which iDevice do you have? Iphone, iPad, or ? Do you have it set up there? (iOS is the OS for iDevices; your MBP would be on Mac OS).

  • Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000

    Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000?

    IOS?
    Do you mean OSX (or is there another device you have yet to mention)?
    If it is OSX connect the phone via Bluetooth and use the Browse Device command to access files. I have no idea whether this will work but it won't break anything.

  • Is there anyway of tracking a I-mac when it has been stolen??

    Just been told all my electronics from house has been stolen. Is there anyway of tracking an I-mac if it is connected to Internet?.

    Sorry too! We had not-invited visitors last year.
    When you get a new iMac, I can recommend a program called Undercover to track and lock stolen iMacs. They also have one called Witness, which is an alarmsystem, based on the  iSight camera. It can be remoted from iPhone too. Go to www.orbicule.com to learn more about it.

  • How to find a stolen mac book pro

    i recently had a mac book pro stolen from me, it was locked and on. i have no serial number for it, and i was wandering if there is any way to track it?
    Please help.

    Just about all of the easy methods of tracking a stolen Mac depend on you setting them up before it gets stolen. After it gets stolen, it is still possible, but for you to have any chance you would have to be a rather advanced network engineer who remembers a few key network attributes about your laptop and left some back doors open before the theft. And even then, it's a lot harder than if you had turned on anti-theft features before, not after, the theft.

  • Is there a recommended printer for a Mac Book Pro.

    I would like to purchase a basic HP printer that is compatible with my Mac Book Pro..   I would like to hook it up wired. Do i need to make sure that there are no other printer drivers on my Mac Book.

    No. Recent HP printers are compatible with Macs, and this is the only thing you have to be worried about.
    After getting the printer, you can add it to OS X in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and press the + button to add the printer. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3771

  • Are there any apple stickers for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy them

    Are there any apple stickers e.g the bart simpson on the computer eating the apple for the mac book pro 13 inch retina display and where can i buy one

    I'm not sure where on the internet or which store you mean -- but if you mean an Apple advertisement on the internet and an Apple Store, note that there was an ad for MacBooks that showed them with a variety of stickers but Apple does't sell the stickers and not all of the ones shown in the ad were commercially available.

  • HT204347 stolen mac book pro

    I Believe that i have found a stolen Macbook Pro - is there anyway i can confirm this with in the next couple of hours.  I have tried to contact various apple support number but they are all closed

    Oh a good guy for a change.
    Unfortunately, Apple and all the consumer electronics makers I know are more interested in selling than providing additional support such as this.
    So any help will have to come thru other channels. Unless the perp is tied to some other ongoing case, much to your chargrin they will walk with an infuriating grin on their face. Any kiddy p-o-r-n inside so you can nail them for it?

  • Why is there lag when I mirror my mac book pro with apple tv

    I bought Apple TV in November 2014 and have been using it with my iphone 6 and my ipad without any problems. I bought a new macbook pro (my old one was  a mid 2010 model so did not have airplay) yesterday and tried mirroring as I was with my iphone and ipad. Every time I tied I experienced a couple of seconds lag, this there anyway to fix this? I currently can't use my apple tv with my laptop as it just doesn't work!

    Hi jmcivor89,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into performance issues when using AirPlay Mirroring with your new MacBook Pro. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that may be able to help you resolve the issue.
    Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
    Try these suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    If you are using iTunes, please see these troubleshooting guidelines.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • How can I inform apple about my stolen Mac Book Pro?

    I want to inform apple about my stolen Macbook Pro so that if they try to register it we can trace the computer. But apparently there is no reporting system. Is there another solution, an adress to  write an e-mail?

    ... well you answered your own queston. there is no reporting system..Apple doesn't track stolen equipment.. perhaps you bought Lojackforlaptops or turned on Find my Mac.. if you are at a college, you might want to ask your IT department if they can look for your IT via Mac's "MAC" address if you know it. 

  • Is it safe to buy a stolen Mac book Pro or Air?

    Hey!
    Someone is selling a Macbook Pro on a cheaper price and it is a used one. I dont knw if its a stolen laptop or the guy is in need of money thats y he is selling the macbook on a cheeper price. I just wana know if i can get in trouble if the laptop is a stolen one? If the laptop was a stolen laptop and i buy it, is it possible that the owner or Apple Inc can track me and i can get in trouble. Help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    If the (original) owner had set up find my Mac and it was stolen, yes, he (and the cops) can find your location.
    If that was not set up, you won't be able to do much with it because anything you want to download/upgrade/install will need the original Apple ID associated with it. You may not even be able to log in unless you have the administrator password.
    If the seller is legit, then he would be wiping the drive and reinstalling the original OS which is then not associated with his Apple ID - that would be the only way to do it. Those are the questions I'd bring up with him and test: is it the original OS, can I log in, and can I get to the app store and update/upgrade using my own Apple ID.

  • Stolen Mac Book Pro - what to do

    Stolen last week. They have logged on and changed the user name. I haven't remotely wiped or locked it yet, because I want to be able to track it. Can they disable the tracking? Should I simply remotely lock it or wipe it? Can I still track it? What can I do to make using it very miserable for them?

    Notify the police that it was stolen.
    Change all your passwords to things you accessed online such as email and bank accounts. They logged on and changed the username on what, the computer, your email, your bank account?
    There is nothing you can do to find and retrieve the computer.

  • Stolen Mac Book Pro

    Dose the FIND utility help to locate my stolen MacBook Pro?
    What can I do to locate my laptop?
    Does the laptop have to be on?

    If you have icloud enabled in your computer with find my mac checked off you can log in to iCloud.com.
    It will give you a general location on where your Macbook is - it won't give you an address but a close enough location...
    Yes, your laptop has to be turned on in order for you to be able to get the general location/vicinity of where your Macbook is...See image below.
    Good luck - I hope you find your Macbook.

  • Mac book pro connect to tv

    is there anyway i could plug my mac book pro in to the tv and play a video that i made on here?

    Depends on the TV's inputs. You need a DVI-to-HDMI cable if it has HDMI input (most newer flat-panels, LCDs, plasmas, etc., have those), or the Apple DVI-to-video adapter, which outputs composite video (RCA-type plug with the yellow band) and s-video.
    You need a separate cable for the audio (mini-stereo-to-RCA cable for analog audio, mini-toslink-to-toslink for digital audio if you have a newer high end TV).
    You can find all of those cables by googling the terms.
    Hope this helps...
