Locating my lost laptop. Please help.

I just lost my MacBook Pro and was wondering if there is any way that i could trace it back? I didn't think i have installed any protection software in it though? Can we trace anything inside the laptop? I am desperate.

I'm doing a lot of leg work on my missing MacBook Pro. So far, I have learned that my computer serial number was registered to someone else. I'm sure that someone else bought it from the person(s) who broke into my apartment. I have contacted my local police dept. in hopes to recover it. I sacrificed so much to buy my Apple, I wish the associates would have been competent enough to tell me how to protect myself from burglary, especially after I told him I was making the purchase because they had stole my last computer :( sometimes we do have to let go, others, we gotta keep the faith that it will be recovered :)

    There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
    Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.

    Hello becky81464
    If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]

  • HT5467 Hi am unable to locate the SIM Tray please help me

    Hi am unable to locate the SIM Tray please help me

    SIM of an iPad is located about 2 inches from the bottom at portrait view (not landscape view) on the same side of the volume button.
    Use a needle to poke into the tiny hole of the SIM tray.  With one swift pull, you should be able to eject the SIM tray.  It could fly off if you pull too hard.  So be careful of your strength of pulling.

  • My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

    My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

    So a Spotlight search on your phone to search for Safari and click the App. Once you verify that it is still on there you'll just have to look for it.
    If the App isn't listed, try a restart/reboot of the iPhone holding the home button and sleep/wake switch. If the App still doesn't show itself in the OS or via Spotlight, restore the phone via iTunes.

  • Lost all event files -- can't locate them anywhere. Please help.

    All of my work has just disappeared. Please help if you can. I'll describe my steps to help you understand what occurred.
    1. I was working in an event folder with a name "New Event 7-17-09." There were numerous videos inserted as cutaways and other elements.
    2. On two occasions I had error messages that a video was not able to copy in. I noticed a half black-half gray icon. I re-generated the videos. The first time I had quit iMovie and relaunched, only to find that all of my source videos were gone from the event pane. I had to re-import them.
    3. Just now it happened again. I was afraid to quit and lose the video again so I took a chance and clicked on another event date and tried to import this video that couldn't be copied. Well, it copied okay. HOWEVER, the event date I was working in, "New Event 7-17-09," has now disappeared completely. And again -- all of the source videos are gone when I click around in the project pane. The videos only now exist in the work folder they were imported from...not from within iMovie. They are not in the Movie folder.
    4. I checked "Show Contents" and there are no project files in there.
    So I am left with a project pane but no event pane with all of these source files. I have lost, in essence, all of my work.
    I didn't delete anything, I didn't move anything. I just clicked once in a different event pane, and then all of what I had was gone.
    Can you please tell me where else I can look?
    Does this program utilize some kind of strange file system or something?
    Any help you can offer is very much appreciated.

    Timemachine is one of the most underestimated (english?) features of 10.5.
    It is as simple as that (a no-click application )
    and it is not just a backup of 'all', you can select down to a single file, what to be recovered..
    speaking of TBs: I have 3 iPhoto Libs (~20k pics), Timemachine backups on the hour, and I do manually 'clone' twice a year onto a 3rd HDD... -
    when hopefully this year I switch from tape to SDcard video, I'll spend another 100€ on the next TB-drive.. latest offer in the papers here: 1TB=66€..
    long term storage IS an issue in these 'digital times' ... - future historians will call it the 'Black Hole in History' => no documents of this period in time, due to 'data loss' ...- any cheap paperback lasts longer than any digicam still/video..

  • Unable to sync mobile me and my laptop, Please help:)

    I've been having issues syncing my laptop and mobile me. I get the response that there are conflicting issues on my computer, which it's requiring me to resolve and then reset. I've made sure my system is up to date and I've even gone to the extent of erasing my ical on my computer so that I can reset my ical from the info located on the internet. But I'm still getting the message that I have conflicting issues. Which I don't understand because my ical on my computer is empty! I'm getting frustrated. Please help.

    Questions for you:
    So when you reset the sync data from MobileMe down to the computer, iCal remained blank and did not receive the calendars that are online, is that correct?
    Did you sign up for the MobileMe Calendar Beta?
    If you are NOT using the MobileMe Calendar Beta:
    __Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
    __Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > MobileMe and sign in with your name and password
    __Click on the Sync tab
    __Check off Synchronize with MobileMe.
    __Check off "Calendars" in the list of items to sync
    __Click on Advanced.
    __Click on the reset sync data button.
    __Click on the arrow to go from MobileMe cloud down to the computer
    __Click replace.
    __Launch iCal and check to see if the calendar data that is on MobileMe is now in iCal.
    __If the calendars do show up in iCal here:
    __Go to File > Export > iCal Archive and save the file to desktop
    __Take the resulting ICBU file and put it in Macintosh HD > Users > Shared
    __Log into the main user account
    __Go to Macintosh HD > Users > Shared and drag the ICBU file to the desktop
    __Double-click the file and it will restore all the calendars into iCal
    __If the calendars now show up in iCal back in the main user try syncing with MobileMe

  • Web Camera doesn't work on my Lenovo G570 laptop, Please Help?

    Well I recently bought a lenovo G570 laptop. The webcam worked fine for the first month. I don't really know when the camera stopped working but it seems that every software that uses a camera can detect the camera but when the video window pops up it is just plain white. I know the reason isn't because of the hot key FN+ESC because it works fine, I can disable and enable the camera. I read many threads with the same problem. I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and easy capture but it does not solve my problem. Can someone please help?

    As I  understand the camera is not working.
    If the camera is getting activate by Fn+Esc key then it could be driver issue.
    You need to uninstall the camera software and other relates software.
    Update the BIOS and then install the camera drier
    Download the BIOS update for Windows 7 32bit from the mentioned below web link.

  • Updated iWeb 2.0.2:  LOST Website - Please HELP

    Hi Folks,
    I just ran software update today and installed all the updates. Upon opening iWeb and accepting the new license agreement, I was greeted not by the website I have spent months building; but the Template select screen. My business website is no where to be found. This is very frustrating. I noticed one other person had the same problem. Hope this can be remedied. Definitely going to set me back a few weeks. This is the first time in 6 years I have had a problem with anything Apple...Please Help!
    Best Regard,
    brfloyd

    This is quite strange. I keep my websites in separate folders and launch iWeb from there. When I tried V2.0.2 I used one of these sites to launch it. I keep a file in the iWeb folder which is a sort of a dummy. This file was not effected nor erased by the update.
    So many people have problems with these domain files. I wish iWeb had a popup telling people to back them up. I keep copies of them in my Home Folder and also on two external drives.
    I use the application Super Duper to make incremental backups every week.
    I once lost two months work when my hard drive failed. The bigger the disaster - the greater the lesson learned!

  • Storage Location blank in 2LIS_03_UM, Please Help

    For Inventory revaluation, the extractor 2LIS_03_UM is used but it brings blank storage location even storage location was mapped at LBWE level. Also read OSS note which take care of certain movement types where quantity is posted  but not value. Also read white paper on this issue but it is bad for query performance. Tried to build generic extractor in MARD and MARDH but not very helpful. Is there any way I can extend the DataSource or other way to populate storage location with 2LIS_03_UM? Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Harvey

    Hi,
    To get Correct Stock values , SAP is not providing the update rules :
    <i>From the InfoSources 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM, the values are no longer updated with the characteristics storage location (0STOR_LOC), stock characteristic (0STOCKTYPE) and batch number (0BATCH). These changes have been incorporated as of BW 3.0B Support Package 12, 3.1 Content Support Package 6 and 3.2 Content Support Package 1.</i>
    So  if you still want to maintain the update rules for storage location (0STOR_LOC), stock characteristic (0STOCKTYPE) and batch number (0BATCH), you have to consider all chance of wrong updation of Stock Values as it is mentioned in the note: 589024.
    So to improve query execution performance of Inventory , we have limited options like Snap shot,Bursting.
    With rgds,
