My MacBook was stolen in June. Just received an email from Find My iPhone that it's been found. What next?

My MacBook was stolen from my car in Hartford ct in June 2013. I filed a police report with the serial number. I monitored find my iPhone for several weeks with no luck. I set find my iPhone to erase my mac.
Yesterday, I received and email saying my mac was being erased. Several hours later I received an email saying my MacBook has been found along with an approximate address.
What can I do next?  Can I access the camera? Can I make a message appear on the screen?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
John.

relay the message to the police and have them get it.

  • Why does it take so long to receive an email from find my iphone

    Why does it take so long to receive an email from find my iphone

    Well, first off, you do not know where your iPhone is..it could be anywhere and on any network with a
    ghost network to boot.. Go into your local Police Station, tell them your iPhone has been Stolen & give them All the info you have,, then claim on your house insurance.......If your "Find My iPhone" is On and you still cannot trace it...
    What can I say...............

  • Just received an email from Apple? saying that they needed some personal information is this a scam?

    It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

  • I've Lost my iPhone somewhere and I think someone has picked it up and stolen it if they restore it by putting Into Dfu mode before they turn it on and use it after the restore will I still get an email from Find My IPhone  that its been turned on??

    It's really urgent that I know

    Doubtful.  The phone has to be turned on, have a data connection to the internet (wifi or cellular), and still have your iCloud settings intact in order to be tracked.  If it's put in recovery or DFU mode, this won't happen as your settings and data are erased.

  • I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used      to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s.  I have an iphone 4.  It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I know if this email is genuine?

    I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S.  I have an iphone 4.  It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I tell if the email is genuine?

    Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
    You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
    As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

  • HT4436 Just received an email from iCloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and decrease to 5, when I had been using 10+. What is this??

    I just received an email from icloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and it would decrease to 5 (when I have been using 10+). What is this??

    The actual amount of extra free storage varies depending on how much storage previous subscribers had.
    If you do nothing your storage will dowgrade to 5GB so you should make sure you don't have more content than this.
    If you want to continue with the increased storage by paying for it, please see

  • Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen, so does anyone know:

    Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen,  does anyone know…:
    1. Is there another way I can track its location, or more importantly have the information stored on my Ipad erased ASAP?
    2. Taking into consideration I blocked the iPad using the find my iPhone app, is there anyway the iPad can be used? Can someone erase all the data, my itunes account, reset all settings etc.? before connecting online?
    3. How can I recover my photos? I already signed in to icloud on my PC and I have no "Photo" icon, does this mean that they are lost?
    Thank you!

    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

    It's a scam (phishing) to try to get you to disclose your iCloud credentials.  Apple requests that you forward these to [email protected]

    It did not come from Apple. Do not click on the link and do not supply your password. It is a scam. You can report the phishing email to Apple here:

  • I received an email from verizon telling me that my account is locked and to click on a link to verizon/security to unlock it.  Is this a legitimate email from verizon?

    I received an email from Verizon telling me that my account is locked and to click on a link Verizon/security to unlock it.  Is this a legitimate email from Verizon.  How can I find out what this means?  My phone is working.

    I have never heard of that before, if Verizon Wireless would do anything with your account they would be calling you (removed). In my opinion you should disregard the email.

    I have just done a reset on my ipad. In the settings "find my ipad " is enabled. I received an email saying "Find My iPhone has been disabled on Richard's iPad."  I went back into settings and confirmed that find my iphone is enabled. How do I correct this?
