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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • If my macbook air was stolen in MEXICO can it still be traced? :(

    I was visiting in Mexico last weekend and my Macbook air was stolen is there any hope i can trace it with the serial # or does that only work in the US?

    you can't trace it with the serial in the US either.  Believe me, if it was stolen in Mexico, it is loooong gone.  Of course, if you had "find my mac" installed before it was stolen, their may be a small chance you could locate it.

    My Mac Mini was stolen, and I was told Apple might be able to find out where it is? How do I go about doing this?

    No, there is no way for Apple or anyone else to determine its location. You may be thinking about Find My Mac which is a feature available in Lion.

    My mac book was stolen lastnight, what can I do to try to get it back? Can it be tracked? Please help....

    No, it cannot be tracked unless you installed tracking software or registered it with Find My Mac on iCloud.com. Report the theft to the police. If you have a serial number you may even get it back it the thief ever pawns it. Also, report to your insurance company.

  • My MacBook Air was stolen

    My MacBook Air was stolen a few weeks ago. I immediately changed any account passwords I had on the computer. I s there any way to prevent the theif from getting technical support from Apple?

    Yes, see here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
    Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Thats just awful. I hope you had theft insurance for same.
    The one downside to a wonderful product is sticky fingered thugs want to steal them.

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

  • My iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

    my iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

    If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
    Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.
