MacBook Pro Stolen: can apple block my device?

Hi,
I've been stolen my MacBook Pro 13' this week end and I would like to know if apple is able to block my former device ?
Thanks for your help.

I'm afraid that there is nothing to be done from Apple's side.
Most importantly, you must focus on any sensitive information that you have stored on your Macbook. whether secured or insecure (in fact you have to consider it insecure from now). Particularly bank or financial information, and then consider passwords etc that could be used.
Sorry

IPhone Stolen , can apple block the phone's serial from itunes?

hi there , i've just lost my phone about like an hour ago while i was in the gym, i have the warranty card and the phone can be traced as registered under my name ( will be providing to any apple staff my identification card along with the report of the lost phone ) , pls tell me what i should do so that the phone can no longer be used. ( better still if you could some how miraculously trace the phone , im sad i did not get mobileme haih ! )

No.
Contact the local police to report it, and contact your carrier to report your iPhone as lost or stolen. Many carriers will block a cell phone's IMEI number that has been reported lost or stolen by the owner which will prevent someone else from activating the iPhone with that carrier.
If you didn't have the Passcode Lock enabled, you should change the password for each email account you were accessing with the iPhone's Mail app.

Sorry for asking this Question - I know that there have been threads in the past with similar Question but still I'm kinda confused.

Can a MacBook Pro stolen from me be reformatted just like Windows?
-Can the thief easily reformat its hard drive just like on Windows and install a cracked Operating System?
Thank you Guys.

The answer is, Yes. If you enabled Find My Mac, then you could track it or erase it using your iCloud.com webpage and clicking on Find My Phone after signing in.
What To Do If Your Mac Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.
Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find My Phone on your iDevice.

Hi, I have had my MacBook Pro stolen and the police have mentioned about using iCloud to see if I can track it's whereabouts - however I have no idea if I had iCloud on my MacBook or how to track it if I did - can anyone help me please? Thanks :)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To see if you have iCloud, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. If you can access to iCloud, you have iCloud. If you get an error message or you can't access, you don't have iCloud. This only works if you only have the Mac (not an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iCloud).
Apart from that, "Find my Mac" must be turned on in the Mac in order to track it, so if it wasn't turned on, you won't be able to track it. If it was turned on, the computer must be connected to the Internet to be tracked.
If you can access to iCloud through http://www.icloud.com, choose "Find my iPhone" and look at the Devices list. If your MacBook Pro shows up, "Find my Mac" is turned on, so see if you can track it and tell to the police that it's possible to track your MacBook Pro

Do you have iCloud enabled?
On your Mac go to iCloud.com.
Sign In then click Find My iPhone (finds all devices, not just an iPhone).
Otherwise report the theft to local authorities. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

We had a MacBook Pro stolen from our home when we were out of town and I am pretty sure we never activated the LoJack type of function on it not sure if its called lojack but you get what I am saying is there any way we can activate such hardware/app now so we can possibly recover our laptop? Any one who can point us in the right direction that would be great and we would be very grateful. Thanks So Much

Lojack for laptops - if that is the product you purchased and installed, you will need to read the user manual or contact the manufacturer as it is 3rd party. You did file a police report right?

You have answered my question, thank you so much, I've just plugged in and found out that a direct connection will actually work via ethernet, but it works as Airplay mirroring and itune home sharing
No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

Are you using mirroring or using airplay within iTunes? If you are truly mirroring then you can view anything that is displayed on your computer through Apple Tv
Or provide more info on your issue

Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?

Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?

You can try a system reinstall:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

You have to all be signed into the same Apple ID and on the same WiFi network, but yes you can do it. You have to sign into her Apple ID on your iPad in the store settings.
