My mac book just been stolen can I locate it
My mac book pro has just been stolen. Can I locate it in any way
If you had an iCloud account and Find My Mac turned on, you can see if you can track it via any Find My iPhone app, or via your iCloud account on a computer.
If you did not, then all you can do is report it to the police and change your Apple ID password. Here is an Apple Support article that has some additional advice:

HT2471 My Mac book pro had been stolen can I track it down
Hi
My Mac book pro has been stolen can track it down if so can please ask for some help.
ThanksYou can only let Apple know that it was stolen by providing them the serial number. If you're still under warranty you should be able to login here with your Apple ID and find your serial number.
I can't remember who you contact at Apple - your Apple Store would be a good bet - at least if it shows up at an authorized repair center, they'll know it was stolen. Not sure how this works exactly but a friend of mine has a MacBook stolen and he followed this procedure.
And, of course, you've given the serial number to the police? They're the best place to start if you have or have recovered your serial number.

my mac book pro got stolen and i just purchased a new one is there any way i can recover my purchased songs and movies from i tunes. I have the same account name, password and everything
Yes. Update to iTunes 10.3.1
Then go to the iTunes Store and click Purchased "new" under Music Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes window.
You can re download your purchased content from the next window. -

That would seem to contradict Apple's official policy posted here:

If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it. 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. -
hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((
It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone. -
Just got Mac book pro. I can't connect to office remotely thru the remote window. My office is window based and I have no problem connecting while at the office thru the server but cannot at home. Any help would be appreciated!
This what my IT replied with:
That teh MacBook cannot connect with RWW because it requires Active-X to connect. That MAc browsers (Safari) do not use Active-X but only Windows (IE) uses Active-X control.
It would seem to me that there must be a way around this. Any help?
Thanks, -

Unfortunately yesterday my mac-book pro was stolen. Other than obtaining a police report is there any advice, i.e. can Apple remotely disable it?
I'm very sorry to hear about this theft. I don't think there's anything you or Apple can do unless you took advance preparations.
Read the article "Employee Thoughts: Protecting Your Machine in Case of Theft" in this newsletter for the sorts of things one can do in advance of a theft:

Unfortunately, there's little you can do at this point other than start changing all your passwords and hoping the police get lucky. -

H. My iMac has just been stolen and I can't remember if icloud was activated. Is there any way of telling?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
On a computer, go to http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. If it lets you log in, you enabled iCloud. Then, choose Find my iPhone and check that your computer shows up. If so, Find my Mac is enabled and you can track the Mac if it's connected by Wi-Fi -
I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro. Tnx so much
Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".
By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject. In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that. -
My ipod touch has just been stolen
my ipod touch has just been stolen. is there anyway i can track it?
If you turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in and go to FindMyiPhone.

Note that if the iPod has been restored the find feature is deleted. -
I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac and want to transfer it to my newly purchased Mac Book Air. How can I do that?
Just install it like you did the first time (do not try to transfer it from the old machine in any way) - you can download thru your account if you purchased it as a download originally - otherwise there is a link for downloading below. Your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online if your registered the software previously.
CS5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
If you like you can leave it on the first machine as a backup because you are allowed to have two activated installations. If you wish to remove it from the older machine you should deactivate it first (open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate). -
