Lost my macbook in school

I lost my macbook pro today,
I lost it in school, and I tried to find it after I noticed that I left it in the uni library,
however, it obviously with nothing left ther after I ran back...
I also asked for the receptionist, and nothing were found
My friend suggested me to give a notice to Apple and even called the police,
which I have then noted Apple my S/N no, in case the person who took it will walkin to Apple store with my mac...
And they also give me a response that, it actually won't really help, and they are not able to do anything more in this stage...
On another hand, I'm not sure if the police may helps, as its only a stolen macbook for them
Will they help to check all the cctvs in my school library or doing something that's able to get my macbook back?
Anyone have such experiences by going to the police office for a lost macbook?
What should I do for gaining it back? As I just have it for few months only!!!
Should I earse my macbook? or just keep tracking on Find my Mac?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are able to track the computer using Find my Mac, I would find out the assigned officer for your report and send him the location information from Find my Mac. That is assuming you don't have highly sensitive information on it that could be used for identity theft. If so, you need to balance that possibility with forgoing the chance of recovery.
Best of luck.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to the first generation Apple TV, then you cannot sync content which is stored on its hard drive back to iTunes.

  • Using my MacBook at school -- safe?

    I use my MacBook at school every day of the week. This involves closing it in the mornings, putting it in my bag (padded laptop bag), unpacking/opening/using/closing/repacking my laptop about 7 times, and carrying it between classes.
    So far nothing bad has happened, but I was curious if all of the movement could cause any problems.

    Hey. I am a newbie here. Hoping like crazy someone can help me out. I have a friends MAC and I deleted Safari.....I guess.....nothing happens now when I click on it. How can I get it back? Please help. Email please at [email protected] Thanks so much!!!!!
    For starters, please don't "threadjack" and existing discussion that's not related to the issue you're having...especially when the existing thread has been marked as solved.
    Second, do not pos tyour personal email to a public discussion board.
    Third, in order to get Safari back you'll need to reinstall it from the install DVD that came with the computer.

  • I have lost my macbook box etc

    Hi There,
    I have lost my macbook box and everything which is inside the macbook box (except the macbook)
    My macbook is under warranty as  have purchased untill August 2013
    Could Apple give me a replacment?
    Thank You
    Justin

    If the box got your MacBook home to you originally, its job is done.
    If you MUST have another box, you can shop for them on eBay, but you will pay collector's prices.

    If you're running Mountain Lion (which I'm assuming you are if your MBP is new) you can set up Find My Mac under System Preferences>iCloud. You can also use a free online service such as Prey.
    No guarantee to keep your MBP from being stolen, but at least you can find it if it's on (and if the criminals aren't Mac experts).

    If the files you have stored on your computer are that important:
    If the police are not helping, you will need to go to the police station IN PERSON and deal directly with the police captain or police commisioner since the regular po po "throwing up their hand."

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • I lost my MacBook calendar when I performed the action required by 5 May although I have all information on my iPhone and iPad. How do I restore the data on my iCal calendar?

    I have performed all the relevant actions required before 5 May to conform with Apple instructions. I have lost my calendar on my MacBook although all is still OK on my iPhone and iPad. I have tried various ways to restore the data including going to MobileMe but I have been unsuccessful. I have tried to merge the information from my iPhone but this did not work either. My Contacts and mail are all OK. Coincidentally I am also unable to access my external hard drive which is working in itself (it is warm and whirrs when activated) but my back ups are failing. Any ideas out there?

  • I lost my iPod at school and I found the Serial Number. How can i find it?

    I can't find my Ipod touch 5th Gen. I lost it at school. How can I find it? I have the Serial Number.

    You can only track it if you had the iCloud "Find-my-iPhone/iPod" feature enabled and with a Wi-Fi internet connection. Go to icloud.com.
    If you had iOS 7 installed the thief/founder can't use it after wiping because of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
    Report it to the police (give them your s/n), and change all passwords, especially your Apple ID.
