If you can't locate it, then you cannot wipe it.

my macbook was recently stolen, is it possible to more or less "shut down" that computer if i have the serial number?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, report this to the police. Then, you can't do anything with your serial number to track the MacBook.
Instead, if you turned on Find my Mac, you can track it if it's connected to Internet. You can track it with the Find my iPhone app from any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or from http://www.icloud.com at any Mac or PC.
If you didn't turn on Find my Mac, there's not anything else you can do apart from reporting that to the police -

Does itunes keeps track of all the songs that you buy from the itunes store?
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, not good, then you can reownload some purchases in some countries
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

Thx.

All ipad apps are not neccessarily compatible with iphone. There are some universal apps. -
Hi there, my phone was recently stolen and I'm gutted that I haven't backed my photos up on iCloud. Only my contact can be accessed. Is there any possible way of getting my photos back?
Often when plugging a device into a computer (which has not been discussed if this has ever happened) one will be given the auto play option of transferring photos/data from the mobile device to the computer. Did you ever transfer the photos from your device to a computer?

Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....
Yes. See bold below
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

My iPhone 3GS was recently stolen. I can't find the box and it has not been synced to my computer in a long time. I just use it as an iPod now. I have the IMEI but not the serial number. Is there a way that I can get the serial number using the IMEI number. Thanks

My iphone 5 was recently stolen. I had the service shut off, but I don't know how to remotely wipe out my data from my phone! Please help!!
YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that. -
Hello
My iphone was recently stolen. I am hoping, by virtue of icloud memory used which I have viewed on a friend's Apple PC that my family photos are still on icloud. I assume that there is a chance my photos were uploaded automatically to icloud. My own laptop is XP only so I cannot access Photostream from my laptop.
Is there any way i can access icloud photostream and download all my family photos to my laptop?
Please help.
NigelNot with Windows XP, you need Windows 7 or 8, or a Mac.

My iPad was either stolen or lost and was in my luggage. Is there a way to tell the last time it was turned on. If so this will tell me if anyone has it.
If you have an iCloud account and Find My Device was enabled on the iPad, you could try to find it using the iCloud.com web site. Otherwise there is no way to find it.
You need to change all your online passwords immediately; notify the airport at which it went missing from your luggage (assuming it was at an airport); notify the police; notify your insurance company so you can get reimbursed and buy a new one; move on. -
My iphone was recently stolen. Is there any way to access my purchases in itunes (without having transferred them to a computer)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hm, good suggestion, but I've actually already done this (and I've had a friend go through the steps with me). There is just NOTHING that is showing up under any of the categories in the cloud for downloading. The thing is, I'm just not sure if I enabled cloud-sharing or not on my iphone (although I know I've backed up my data through cloud on my iphone at some point).
Any other suggestions? -
Hi I hope I am in the right area my ipod touch was recently stolen and although I am reporting it to the police< I think someone is trying to download apps. What can I do to shut this down. I am not sure I downloaded cloud.
Apple will not help
If you previously turned on FindMyiPod ins Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can then find its general location and wipe it. If the iPod has been restored it will show off-line forever.
Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
