Can iCloud find a Macbook Pro with the Serial number?

My Macbook pro was stolen about a year ago but I was wondering since iCloud came out if the theft downloads it does it register the serial number and all that information? I still have my box and all its information. Would that be a possible way to locate it?

I woke up at 3am to find my MacBook Pro in the middle of a file transfer using AirDrop.

I woke up at 3am to find my MacBook Pro in the middle of a file transfer using AirDrop. I had not accepted any file transfers via AirDrop as I was asleep so I am a bit confused by all the posts that say that the only way it will work is by the end user accepting a request to transfer files. I am on a home network which has both a soft and hard firewall. I checked my firewall logs and have no signs of intrusion or intrusion attempts. I checked my network map to see see if someone had brute forced my router and was using it but the only assets listed were mine. My router is set up to not be accessable from wireless computers, and is filtered to only allow use by a assets in the MAC Address list. I am an IT by trade but this is my first mac so I am not completely savy in the ways of the ways of macdom. I have found several posts with suggestions on how to turn off and came up with the following terminal command "defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -boolean YES". My question is this, how is it possible that my AirDrop was activated and in the middle of a file tranfer if I did not initiate it? I do have a MacMini on my network but its WiFi is turned off so the transfer was not with it. I have read on different posts that you cannot AirDrop if the computer is not on the same network but there were no foreign assets on my network. So my question is this
1. If AirDrop can not be used with another computer if it is not on the same network, how was it being used?
2. How can AirDrop be used to xfer files if I did not accept or initate it?
It seems to be a pretty big security hole to me. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

It could just be a bad disc - I use Verbatim and have only had one fail in a ten-year time period. Try getting a batch of Verbatims and see if you have any problems. I didn't even know that there were Kodak branded discs...

Fahd Alghazi,
have you tried contacting them directly to see if they would do that?

HI. When I plug in my charger and use my macbook, I feel some kind of roughness on the body. It feels like some current flowing around it. Need help please.

My 2006 MacBook Pro and my 2011 MacBook Air both do it. It happens because the earth ground stops at the power brick and is not carried through to the case of the machine. It is not dangerous or the machine would not have been UL approved.
Since I operate on battery 99.9999% of the time it doesn't bother me at all.

Where can I find cheaper Macbook Pro's?

Hey everyone! Just wondering do any of you know where I can buy a cheap Macbook Pro? Any second hand websites or refurbished machines? I am finding it hard to find anything suitable. As I live in Ireland the cheapest Macbook Pro I can buy is €1299 as listed on the Apple Store. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I would not purchase a Mac over the Internet that did not come with a warranty. Here are two sites that sell used Macs with warranties.

Hi,
I am try hundred times to check my Macbook Pro warranty status over the Online Service Assistant page. It always feed back me a message "We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again, or contact us." My Macbook Pro model is "MacBookPro5.1" (Unibody) and should be produce at around Dec. 2008 ( I use coconutIdentityCard to get the info). My MBP is purchase over internet in Taiwan. And I had do check the SN with local Apple online call this machine isn't have any stolen record. So I pay the cash and get my love - MBP back. For me the applecare is a must have service. But when I call the online apple store like to make order to extend my warranty. The guys told me sorry can't find my SN over the system. The lady is very kindly and patient try to help me solve my problem but not get lucky.
Is any one have same issue like me? I am sure the unibody machine should be still under warranty. I like to pay the fee for applecare to get best service for my MBP. I post here because this is a US model machine (MB471LL/A come with US keyboard). The local service center isn't me. They do they best ( the lady ). Please guide me what can we do to get my MBP can purchase applecare to extend the warranty.
Thanks!

Can I upgrade my Macbook Pro to the newest operating systems?

My Macbook Pro is currently running Mac OSX 10.6.8 and never had snow leopard installed. I was wondering if my system would even be able to run the newest operating system.
Second I was wondering if it is even worth upgrading to. I have had a lot of trouble with my system freezing up and didnt know if a software update could help this problem out.

10.6.8 is Snow Leopard.
Depending what model your MBP is, it might not be a wise choice to bloat it with 10.7 or 10.8, especally since it won't run any PPC based software or hardware drivers your using.
Apple Menu > About this Mac > more information should show a model number like "MacBook Pro 4,1"
then download and install MacTracker, punch that in to find your machine and the latest OS X version you can run.
If your machine originally came with 10.5, I serious suggest you stick with 10.6.8
Second I was wondering if it is even worth upgrading to. I have had a lot of trouble wit my system freezing up and didnt know if a software update could help this problem out.
Upgrading to a newer OS X version won't likely cure your problems, just create more.

Can't format my macbook pro using the instructions on here or google or youtube. Please Help!!

I'm trying to format my macbook pro using OS X 10.5.8. I've tried all the instructions that I could find, but still no luck.
Instructions examples:
1) Go into disk utility and erase the hard drive.
Problem: when I do that, it doesn't let me because the erase button is in the "greyed", so I can't click on that.
2) Restart the computer and hold down "c" and follow the instrctions...
Problem: I did that, but it just restart normally, it doesn't take me to some special screen.
3) Restart with the Mac OS CD installer and hold down "c" as it reboots.
Problem: same as number 2.
4) Restart and hold down "option" - disk utility - erase HD
Problem: I did that, and the hard drive icon with the arrow pointing up pops up; however, when I click on it, it just boot up as usual, and when I go into disk utility, I had the same problem as number 1.
This is really frustrating!! Please help!!
Thanks all!

That only works for other drives/partitions, you can't format or erase the boot drive/volume/partition obviously.
2) Restart the computer and hold down "c" and follow the instrctions...

No disk inserted, you need a bootable disk to use the c key at boot.
3) Restart with the Mac OS CD installer and hold down "c" as it reboots.
Problem: same as number 2.
Perhaps you held it too late.
4) Restart and hold down "option" - disk utility - erase HD
Problem: I did that, and the hard drive icon with the arrow pointing up pops up; however, when I click on it, it just boot up as usual, and when I go into disk utility, I had the same problem as number 1.
The option key held at boot gives you Startup Manager, which gives you a choice of bootable options provided the boot cd is inserted obviously.
If you didn't wait for the cd boot option to appear and clicked the hard drive and arrow right away, it's possible you missed the cd boot option as it takes a bit longer to appear on the screen.
If you went all over the above and can't boot from the 10.5 cd, then what likely occured is your operating system was upgraded to a later OS X version like 10.6 or later and the firmware has been updated to ignore booting or recognizing that 10.5 boot disk as that operating system is now obsolete.
Another option is your using the wrong 10.5 disk, like it's from another model of Mac with different hardware drivers, thus can't be used on your machine.
Sometimes the disk is a retail copy, but is only for compatible Mac's that came PRIOR to the release of the retail disk, obviously not for Mac's that came afterwards because of new hardware drivers not on the burned disk.
If your machine is on 10.4, it might not have enough RAM for 10.5.
If your machine is on 10.5 now, then you should be able to boot from the disk that came with the machine, unless it's defective, scratched or dirty.
If your Mac is a Intel processor Mac, then you should be using 10.6 at least now, it's still getting updates to 10.6.8 (not for Safari or Java 6, but you can disable both and use Firefox)
Usually a 10.5 issued Mac is too old for the later OS X versions of 10.7 and later, perhaps the MacPro tower being the rare exceptions.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Also usually a 10.5 era issued Mac is beyond it's end of life stage, likely to die soon and not worth spending great sums of money to upgrade RAM and all software for 10.7 and beyond, your better off buying a new machine for 10.7+ or use it on 10.6.8 max until it drops dead or sell it online.
You didn't state your Mac's model identifier, it can be gleamed from System Profiler or Apple menu > About this Mac > More information.
With the model identifier, current operating system version running and the RAM amount installed, we can look up the machine on our database and recommend a course of action or if you cannot install 10.5 on that machine.

Can you use a MacBook Pro without the keyboard attached?

Hi,
I plan to upgrade the hard drive in my MacBook Pro (MBP) to a solid state drive (SSD). I also plan to remove the SuperDrive in the optical bay.
I have to install a new firmware on the SSD. Installing the firmware requires the SuperDrive.
I intend to remove the SuperDrive after installing the firmware. I'm using a Early 2008 MBP (Pre-Unibody). This MBP is a difficult to dismantle and assemble.
Can I run the MBP (to install the firmware in FreeDOS) without reattaching the top panel (which houses the keyboard). Or can I just lay the top panel on the MBP without screwing it down. Will either of these actions damage my MBP? Once I've installed the firmware on the MBP, I'll reattach the keyboard.
I don't want to dismantle the MBP (to insert the SSD), assemble the MBP (to install the firmware with the CD in the SuperDrive) then disassemble the MBP again (to remove the SuperDrive).
I'd rather dismantle and assemble the MBP once.
Lifting the top panel (which houses the keyboard)

Please let me know.

Sorry, Just noticed you were not using the Unibody models.
I am unaware if the power button is dedicated. Seems like you're on the right track with iFixIt. I figure as long as USB is available, it should be okay.

Can i buy a MacBook/Pro from the US online store from another country?

Hi guys,
is it possible to pay for the US online store for buying a MacBook / Pro and ship it within the states of course??
one of my family members are there and they are not that much into computers, is it possible to buy it from here (Jordan) using a Jordanian Credit Card and put the shipping address in the states??
I didn't know where to post this exactly, so hope i can be answered and hope i can be directed into the right department instead of deleting it
Thank you

Sorry, but the US Apple Store cannot accept credit/debit cards with billing addresses outside of the US nor checks on non-US banks.
