My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

    My Iphone has been stolen. I have the IMEI number. How do I search for it?

    I'm afraid the IMEI number won't do you any good: its principal value is in enabling your service provider to block the phone.
    In order for your iPhone to be locatable you must have enabled the 'Find My Phone' app on it prior to losing it, and it must be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. Unless all these conditions are true there is no way of locating it.

  • Is there a way to see the IP addresses I logged in from?

    Is there a way to see my IP addresses that I logged into my Apple ID from? Looking around other people thought this was just something Apple did from time to time, but I figure if I can see my login IPs I should be able to evaluate if there was any suspicious activity. I didn't see a way when I logged in to change my password as a precaution. Google does a good job of letting you see your IP logins.
    I got this email from Apple
    Dear ****,
    “iPhone” was automatically removed as a trusted device from two-step verification for your Apple ID (m•••••@email.address)
    Your trusted devices are used to verify your identity when you make changes to your account, sign in to iCloud, or make iTunes or App Store purchases from a new device.
    To protect your security, when you erase a device it will be removed from your list of trusted devices. To re-verify your device, sign in to My Apple ID choose Password and Security, and then Add or Remove Trusted Devices.
    If you did not erase this device or if you believe an unauthorized person has accessed your account, you should reset your account password immediately at My Apple ID.
    If you need additional help, visit Apple Support.
    Apple Support

    Sign out of the iTunes Store then back in. That will refresh the amout.

  • If I use an SD card for both Windows 7 and Mac, is there any way to see the documents from the Mac sight while on the windows side?

    If I use an SD Card on both the windows 7 and Mac OS (using bootcamp), is there any way to see the data seen on the Mac OS side while using the Windows OS?

    Windows Aero style uses a different background image than Mac:
    Windows Aero:
    #nav-bar {
    background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(253,253,253,0.45), rgba(255,255,255,0));
    Mac:
    #nav-bar {
    background: url(chrome://browser/skin/Toolbar-background-noise.png),
    linear-gradient(hsl(0,0%,93%), hsl(0,0%,83%));
    I can't test hands on, but you might be able to clear that OSX "fog" using a rule such as:
    @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
    #nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
    background-image: none !important;
    background-color: transparent !important;
    This could be applied using the Stylish extension or by creating/editing a userChrome.css file.

  • Is there a way to see the waveform of the audio in the primary video track?

    Is there a way to see the audio waveform of the audio in the video (primary) track?
    Scrubbing to determine precise edit points is useful, but seeing the dialog audio waveform would be much better.
    You can see the audio waveform in additional audio-only tracks, but for cutting to dialog you really need to see the primary audio waveform that's in the video track.
    Any thoughts?

    msimpson,
    No. The waveforms are only visible in the two separate audio tracks.
    A work around would be to use Advanced>Extract Audio command.
    This command, in spite of its name, copies the audio to one of the audio tracks and sets the volume level of the audio to zero in the video track.
    Now you'll have the waveform to use in editing. When you're done with it, you could delete it and raise the volume again on the video track.

  • Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

    Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  Your backups are listed at the top, along with their sizes.  Note: this will only list your most current backup.  You may have your previous two backups available too but you cannot access any size information about them.

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

  • Can't remember my security questions and can't access my back up email address is there a way of getting the information sent to another email?

    Can't remember my security questions and can't access my back up email address is there a way of getting the information sent to another email?

    No. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Is there a way to see the photo information on the iCloud sharing pages?

    There seems to be an issue with Apple wanting people to see the information for each photo easily.  When I share a photo in a shared album on iCloud, I don't see the title nor do I see any photo information, only the date that the photo was shared. 
    I DO see the date of the picture when it's in slide show view, in light font at the bottom right-easy to miss, but not when it's the basic view that allows us to scroll through the photos. 
    Is there a way to see the title and date of the photos on the left where the black space is and the sharing info is?
    It seems that this whole Photos program is half-done...
    Thank you,
    Dave

    There is an App at the App store called "Battery Magic". You can get a trial version, (free) that will show you what you want to know, including battery life, and how long you can play games, music and other things on your current battery life.
    You can also download the full version. I think its $0.99.

    During normal charging phase is there a way to see the estimated battery% ?   If I am at 10% and plug in to charge and it takes 30 minutes to get to 55% then I know there are about 30 more minutes of charging until I'm at 100%.

  • TS3999 Is there a way to see the date you invited someone to an event on your calendar?

    Is there a way to see the date you invited someone to an event on your calendar?

    How are you getting to full screen mode? I assume you are using Full Screen mobile add-on?
    Try the following instead:
    * Download Firefox Beta (v22) from google play
    * Navigate to about:config
    * In the search bar look for "dynamic"
    * Toggle 'browser.chrome.dynamictoolbar' to 'true'
    * Close the tab
    Now when using Firefox beta the navigation/loading bar will disappear automatically when you scroll down a page and will reappear when you click on a link.
    Please note that this is an experimental feature so there may be some issues. But I think it works better than the add-on. The feature will eventually come to the standard release version of Firefox for Android.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)
