my macbook pro got stolen, is there a way to track it down?

Not if you had not already installed and configured software for tracing it.  If you hadn't done that before it got stolen, your only option is to report it to the police and let them handle it.

  • Iphone 4s got stolen, is there anyway I can track it down with my IMEI/MEID

    my iphone4s got stolen, is there anyway I can track it down with my IMEI/MEID,

    IF you enabled "Find My iPhone" prior to it being lost/stolen, you can track it at iCloud.com.
    Report it to law enforcement and the carrier.

  • HT204347 if my macbook pro was stolen, is there any way i can find it ?

    i bought my pro two years ago, but it was stolen yesterday, is there any way I can find it ?  please help. it hais important documents and pounds of memeries.

    If you had iCloud enabled...
    Go to www.icloud.com >   iCloud
    then login then click Find My iPhone  (works for finding your Mac also)
    This will only work if the Mac is turned on and Find My Mac was enabled in System Preferences > iCloud
    If you did not sign up for iCloud before the Mac was stolen >  Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    A stolen or lost device cannot be located from the serial number.

  • My ipod got stolen, is there a way to track it by serial number?

    i just would really like a resourceful answer im sorry my family doesnt make enough for me to have a phone so this is the closest thing i've got to one so i'd really like to get it back

    The only way to track it isif you turned on Settings>iCloud>Find My on the iPod, and then registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone.  You have to login to iCloud, click Find My Phone to track the iPod of it is turned on, attached to the Internet and has not been found and wiped clean.
    There is no other way to find it.  Apple does not assist in finding lost or stolen property.

  • My MacBook pro got stolen last night. I want to report it. How do I go abt it.

    My MacBook pro got stolen last night. I want to report it to Apple
    (have made a police report)
    How do I go abt it?

    The Yellow Pages should have the phone of the Police Dept. Being it is not a life threatening situation, calling 911 seems an overkill.
    Apple does not have a law enforcement dept. Best you can do, IF you enabled Find My Mac and carry your stuff in a FileVault container, is Remote Wipe it clean to keep your info from the thieves claws and prevent an identity theft as well.

    Unfortunately not if you use separate ID's for your iCloud accounts.

  • I had a girlfriend buy me an ipod for my mom's music at her Celebration of Life and someone took it.  Is there a way to track it down?  She did register it.  I can't believe someone did this to me on one of the worst days of my life.

    Unfortunately, unless you set up an iCloud account on the iPod and turned on Find My iPod before it was stolen, no.  Even if you did do that, there are many ways it could fail (for example, the thief could wipe it clean or not try to connect to a network or the network's location might not be known).  But, you could try it by logging in to iCloud and using the Find My iPhone applet.

  • Recently my ipad and iphone 5S were stolen - is there any way to track them if İ had not yet installed find my iphone?

    My ipad Air and ıiphone 5S were recentşy stolen from my apartment.  They are relaticely new and I had not had a chance to install the Find my iphone app.  HOwever it is in my cloud from my last iphone.  İs there any way to track these two devices?  İs there a standard GPS locator on the newer models?
    Thank you for your time!

    If you did not activate Find my iPhone when you set up the iPad/iPhone, there is no way of tracking them. Having installed the Find my Phone app is not necessary and it is irrelevant as that app is for tracking other lost iDevices.
    Log in to your iCloud account via the iCloud website. Do you see the stolen devices? Do the show up on the device list? If so, the Find my Phone is active and you will be able to track them if they connect to the internet. If not, they are gone.

  • My MacBook pro got stolen in Lebanon. It's a 15" . It run on IOSX and I dont have ICloud. Is there a way to track my laptop? Thank you

    Hi. My MacBook pro 15" got stolen in lebanon. It run on IOSX and doesn't have Icloud. Is it possible to retrieve the laptop by it's serial number and specification. Any answer is helpful cause it contains many important informations and documents

    If you didn't install any tracking software on it, then no, you can't track it. Report the loss to the police and to your insurer. The chances that you will ever see the machine again range from nil to negligible. If you're smart, you have backup copies of your documents.
    Contact any financial institutions with which you've conducted transactions online for advice on protecting your identity. Cancel your credit cards if you've shopped online, and change all your onlline passwords immediately.

  • My Ipod touch got stolen is there any way to deactivate it so no one can use it

    My Ipod touch got stolen can I deactivate it so no one can use it?

    No.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Hello my macbook pro got stolen!!!

    how can i find it, i didnt have icloud, i read something about serching with IP. HELP PLEASE!!!

    I'm afraid that unless you have an iCloud account and have enabled 'Find my Mac' on your Mac before it was stolen there is no way you will be able to locate it.

  • My MacBook pro got stolen--- HELP!!!

    Two days ago I left my MacBook in my car and someone smash the window and took it with my bag and everything, I already filed a police report and contacted apple. I had LoJack installed on it but I had a password on my computer and I've been doing research and for what Ive seen if they change the HD, LoJack won't work, is this true?, can someone please explain this. If someone takes it for service does apple take away??
    Someone please help

    I'm afraid if they replace the hard drive you are going to be out of luck. There is no way to reinstall LoJack remotely. It's also possible the theives are simply not connecting to the Internet, or they wiped the hard drive and reinstalled a new operating system.
    Any luck with your car insurance?
