Macbookpro was stolen/recovered - how to track accessed wireless networks?

Hi All,
I have a MacBook Pro that was stolen and then recovered weeks later from someone who was not the original thief... Is there a way to find out the names of wireless networks accessed in hopes this would lead to the ID of the original thief? I've been looking at Console log under Diagnostic and Usage Messages, and here I can see exactly when the machine tries to autojoin wireless networks that have been remembered (and this is very useful), but wondering if I can find out the actual name of the network(s) joined in the hours after the laptop was stolen from me.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
For example - does this log below provide any revealing info?

Try the following to see if this will provide some information:
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Network
Click on the AirPort connection on the left of the window
Click Advanced at the lower right
A list of previously joined networks will appear if the option to remember networks has been checked...unless this information has been deleted.

    Iphone stolen. How do I access my photos off my iCloud account using a PC or ipad?

    Make sure my photo stream and iCloud photo sharing are turned on in Settings>iCloud>Photos.  Any shared streams will appear in the Shared section of the photos app.  Any my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days should download to your phone when connected to wifi.  Camera roll photos can only be recovered from your backup, either by restoring it to your new phone, or extracting them from a backup on your computer using 3rd party software.

    My computer was stolen. How do i transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?,

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    Since you can see it in your device list it must have Find My Mac activated, but you're going to have to wait for them to take it online in order to either locate, lock or wipe it. Until it goes online you can't do anything. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

    I want to access my itunes account on my parents computer. It already has another itunes account on it.  I no longer have the original computer that my itunes account was on. How do I access my itunes now in these circumstances?

    I can try, but I don't understand your problem.
    What device are you using?
    Do they have a Mac or a PC?
    Do they have devices they are using?
    What do you want to access?  Do you want to sync that information you access?

    My computer was stolen. How do I locate and transfer my personal unpurchased music that was on I tunes to my new computer?

    If by "unpurchased" you are referring to music that you obtained from CDs or other sources, you will have to restore the music from your backup or some other device such as a smartphone or music player.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I find it if I dont know that I have icloud?

    My computer was stolen. How do I find it if I dont know that I have icloud?

    To find your mac using Cloud, you previously must have enabled  "Find my Mac" in iCloud for your stolen computer, and your mac must be connected to a Wi-Fi network; only then you should be able to determine its location by visiting icloud.com in your web browser.
    Report your mac as stolen to the local authorities.

  • My iPhone was stolen. How can I get my downloaded music which had not been transferred to my laptop

  • My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

    My phone was stolen.  How can I get my photos off the iCloud with Snow Leopard.

    Welcome to the Apple Community
    You can't, if the photos are in photostream you need a compatible device, if they are in a backup, you can only use the backup to restore to a new device.
