My Laptop (mac Air) was stolen on the 5th May, 2014 and I had a password on my computer in order to access it. I am getting the impression that if the person cannot log on to the internet, my laptop cannot be traced.
What is the use of setting up the tracking feature if the person cannot get on the internet and it cannot be tracked without the use of the internet?
Can you go to a library or a friends house with an internet connection.
If so, go to iCloud.com and login with your Apple ID.
iCloud: Locate your device

My Mac Air was stolen, bought a Mac pro. How do I upload music from My Ipod to my new computer?
You don't... iDevices are not backup devices.
Move the media from the old computer to the new computer. -
Mac air was stolen erased but can't locate. Why?
My MacBook Air was stolen approx 2 weeks ago. I enabled the remote erasure feature and have just received an email today saying my mac was erased at 6.09 (-17hrs out of sync which would indicate either the time has been changed or it's in west Coast America). No location has been provided. Is it possible to get a location as it's obviously connected to the internet somewhere!
Since you wiped it you can no longer see the location.

i just purchased garageband for my mac. i was wondering if i could copy garageband and put it on my other windows computer
I don't believe there is a Windows compatible version of GarageBand. There may be similar programs for the Windows platform that may have the ability to use the same GaragBand file format. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any.

My Mac Air was stolen May 2013- I got a call
My Mac book Pro was stolen May 2013 , I got a call yesterday but the guy claimed the message came across on an Ipad he bought from the Apple store, not a Mac book Pro is this possible?
Thanks, I did not think so, he claimed he just bought the Ipad 3 months ago from Apple, and just got the message, I suspected he was lying. The device is locked, so it is of no use to him I have given his # to the Detective handling the case.

I have been using other browsers because of this annoying problem,and don't want to because FF is my favorite.
Also,in addition to the problem above:When I launch FF to get to my home page,two FF's open.I have to tick one to get back to just one.This happens every time.
Also:No matter when I launch FF and attempt to start surfing,I always get the message that FF cannot find whatever webpage I am looking for,including my home page.
FF was running beautifully,as always,until this started a month ago.I attempted to uninstall FF so I could start over,but it doesn't appear in my "uninstall" folder in my control panel.
I purchased a registry cleaner program a few days ago,hoping somehow it might help,but it has not.
Thank youSee "Hang at exit":

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:

I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me. Would someone help me?

Disabling that"..is an application which was downloaded from the Internet."
Downloaded Camino and use it. Now I do not want that warning anymore on every start. I do not give **** how Apple rates security of the file. I know the application is safe so I want to click some checkbox to disable warning on Camino start:
'“Camino” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?'
The only unsafe Camino is to Safari as recent version of Safari is really troubled with hick-ups and freezes while Camino seems to be very similar except that it does not have those issues Safari has.
I can only say what guy named Yeroen (read it if want):

It is really Microsoft way. Can Apple get rid of that troll recenly hired in the company that makes Mac OS X now look like piece of... art that behaves so obnoxiously to a user? I cannot guess where Apple got those new ideas, but they definitelly look like some transplant from Vista and XP obnoxiousness. The only what comes to my mind is some folks that were contracted or hired from Microsoft. Shortsighted with narrow vision and lack of basic education on ergonomics of any user interface.
Hey Apple I dropped Windows because of that! Why do you do this to me now?
Sincerely,
Maciek SamselOkay. It looks like when copying from mounted .dmg file to Applications folder one needs to start Camino on that account and say once to allow start. This has to be done on account that was used to copy the file from downloaded .dmg.
In my scenario, I have administrative account which is separate from users (and of course my own as I am not administrator daily). So Camino was bothering me until I went to administator account and started Camino once. Apparently it had to make some writings into hidden system files to rememeber the choice and the choice was made across accounts.
I remember that similar issues were in Final Cut Express: you had to start the application from administrative account (the one that you used to install the application) once and after that you could easily go and use the application on other accounts at any time.
Looks like this is some sort of pattern which I considered ill as user really should not need to do that pointless start on account that is not supposed to be used for the application. Installation account and use account should be interpretted as two separate with no overlap of preferences. Now this issue was in FCE,but as far as Camino... it sounds like Apple extends this lame pattern to security control and internal system preferences.
Sincerely,

HI, My Macbook Air was stolen this week from my checked baggage.
I have the box with all the information SN etc.. Is there a way to disable this device? Block it from my Yahoo email? Locate it? Any ideas?If you activated "Find My Mac" in iCloud before the loss, maybe. Otherwise no.

This is a topic that has been posted before but I'm creating a new one because the previous discussion is closed and none of the answers solved my problem.
Each and every time I launch Firefox, I receive the following warning, - “Firefox.app” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
For the record, I have tried the following fixes with no success:
- Removed the Firefox folder from user/library/application support both as a user and as an admin.
- I logged in to the Mac as an admin. and launched Firefox. The message continues to pop up after doing this, while still logged in as admin.
- I logged in to the Mac as an admin, went to Terminal and listed the attributes. The "com.apple.quarantine" attribute does exist, however, when I tried removing it with (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <FILE NAME>), I am told that the attribute DOESN'T exist. Huh?
I am trying to avoid completely removing Firefox and doing a fresh install but it may come down to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!I had a similar problem with another application. I downloaded an update to an application from the developer, and then got this message every time I ran the program. There's a script to disable this behavior entirely on MacWorld's macosxhints site.
I didn't want to disable this behavior for good, just for this one program. I realized that I had downloaded it as one user, but the first use (of the update) was as a different user. I logged in under the user ID that I used when I downloaded the application and ran the program. After that, the warning went away.
My guess is that you did something similar. Log in as the user ID you used when you first downloaded the updated FireFox and run the program. The warning should go away.
If you can't remember which user ID you used, try the brute force approach - log in as each of your user IDs and run FireFox.
Good luck! -
I get the following warning every time I try to open a recently download application. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.3
"xxxxx' is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
How do I disable this warning for a particular application?
Update: problem solved. The Mac in question has multiple users, but only one user has administrator privileges. The problem was simply that the application in question had never been opened by the administrator. Once the administrator opened the application the warning went away.If using a mouse, you can right click on the application installer this will give you an "Open with" popup and you can chooes to open the application installer using the standard installer.
Another method to do the same exact thing is to hold the Control key while left clicking on the Application installer will give you the exact same popup menu.
