Sorry to say but your chances are Slim to None finding your stolen Mac computer.
You can't activate that system once the system is stolen. Even if it was activated finding it would be near impossible.

  • Can I locate my stolen macbook pro?

    On 12th November my Macbook Pro (S/N: W8*****YJX) was stolen in Pushkar fair, Rajasthan, India. The incident was reported to the Police Station. But nothing happened till date. Can it be located by any means? The machine had an iCloud registered. But I've failed to locate it.

    You are very welcome, we are all here to help and glad to be of assistance.
    The biggest risk to publishing the SN is that some unscrupulous people can then use the SN to play registration games and claim to own your equipment.  Plus there are other issues with people on the internet knowing the SN and accessing the equipment, i.e., hacking your computer.
    Since we are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees, there is nothing we can do with the SN to help, so just protect yourself by not putting that info out there.  Of course, that advice is not unique to the ASC, it applies to any and all discussion boards.  Keep private information private.
    Just some thoughts on security.

  • How can I locate my stolen Macbook Pro?

    My Macbook was stolen, and I'm not sure if iCloud is enabled. I synched my iPhone4 and iPad to it multiple times and icloud is enabled on both. Is it a way that I could locate it via my iOs devices? Please HELP!!!

  • 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.

  • 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,
    Bharath.

    That can track our stolen macbook pro just using serial number.
    Www.powerbookmedic.com
    Now i am studying the patterns of my macbook pro location... Until
    I confirm the location exactly, i will ask the thief to give back since
    I still got a police report and my macbook pro box.

    where are the backup files for my iPad located on my macbook pro with maverick ?

    As an addendum, if I need to, and hopefully won't, unless I switch computers, how can I revert from a copy of a different backup?  Thanks. :-)

  • Stolen macbook pro, offline, no serial #, not registered...help!

    I have a dire looking situation with a stolen macbook pro. It was stolen from me in an airport and its offline, no luck with icloud. I did not keep the box, nor the receipt (as i was traveling), I had not even registered it yet, it was brand new, and now I have no idea where to find the serial number.  I contacted Best Buy (bought off their website) to see if they keep serial numbers on sales, they said they didn´t, as I didnt have thier protection plan.
    Am I completely out of luck??

    andreaceleste,
    did you pay for it with a credit card? If so, that might be your only remaining proof of having purchased one at all. Of course, that won’t reveal what its serial number is. You’ll need to report its theft to whichever police force is in charge of that airport to have any chance of reïmbursement through your insurance company — be sure to keep all information provided to you by that police force, so that you can provide that information to your insurance company.

  • 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.

  • I had a stolen macbook pro 15 "

    NOTE:  If you purchased the computer with a credit card it's possible you have theft coverage through them. 
        If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • 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.

  • I want to change the location of my MacBook Pro. I live in Mexico but I want to have it located in the US so I can access certain sites.

    I have no idea if it's legal or not, but you could use a proxy software to "spoof" your location.

  • Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

    Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

    Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline.  I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!

    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.

  • HT201472 Stolen MacBook Pro. How to locate it if online for one minute then back offline?

    My MacBook Pro was stolen so I went on to my Find My iPhone app and set it to lock once turned on. Yesterday, I received an email saying it was found but when I went to the app, the device was offline again and did not show a location. Is there a way I can turn the lock off and hope that it is opened again, or can I find the location that it was originally opened at?
    Thanks,
    -KR

    Well, if you did then you may be able to track it, if you did not it's not possible.

  • STOLEN MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Serial number: C1*******TY4

    Hello to everyone,
    My Macbook Pro was stolen while travelling in China on my way from Yangshuo to Guilin.
    I know its maybe just another post about a stolen computer for everybody but I have to try anyways !
    The serial number is as stated above: C1*******TY4
    I have read countless articles and surfed the web for answers and advices on how to find my stolen Macbook.
    I only have the Air Port ID but not the IP adress and pre installed ICloud or tracking software alas...It has been reported to the police though
    If anybody has suggestions, infos, tips, anything, please contact me.
    Thank you in advance to everyone willing to contribute in any way possible because I am very frustrated and out of options.

    If you have your iCloud set up, you can use the iCloud service to see if your macbook is online. Go to http://www.icloud.com sign in with your apple ID and click on find my iPhone.On the top left under Devices make sure your Macbook is selected. It will display a rough approximation on it's location based on the whatever wired or wireless network it is connected to. Other than that, there isn't much you can do unless the idiot trys to sell it in Ebay or the police catches him before he/she sells it. Good luck.
