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.

My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks

SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d. -

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.

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. -
ths is gettin really frustrating
Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff. -
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 iPhone 4 got stolen last night, what should I do?
I know it was stolen because with in 5 minutes I realized I left my phone on the chair and then it was gone. I talked to lost in found. No help. I know for a fact some one stole it because it was turned off once I called it and it had a remaiing 45% battery left. Also becuase they turned off my phone there is no way for me to track it. what should i do?
YOu can report your phone to your carrier, in case thief try to use their network.
Not much you can do, beside change all your password, you can also report it to the local authorites. -
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 helpI'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? -
Another "my macbook pro got stolen..." question

(i have already reported the incident to the police etc.)
Cheers,

not to you. But they will cooperate with the police if asked. -
How would I find this? I need it for the police report so if I could get answers soon that would be great, thanks

Consider using this site: http://www.stolenlostfound.org/
This is Apple's official word on the subject:
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
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 for items purchased or registered with your Apple ID. -
I have a macbook pro, in the last week, i have lost the use of skype. is there a reason? has it something to do with Microsoft setting their msn up there?
Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point. -
I had my iPhone stolen last night and now want to know how do I access my iCloud storage?

If you've wiped the device remotely then it is no longer associated.
You could also change the password for your Apple ID. -
my iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?
You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.
Cheers,
