My old and new macs were stolen during migration. Does this mean they are logged in to my account?

I was transferring data from my MacBook Air (2011) to my new MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant over wi-fi which took around 30 hours so I left them both at home to complete. Both laptops were then stolen in a burglary. I have tried Find My Mac (on the Air) and it reports being Locked. I haven't Locked it and the Lock and Erase options are greyed out. I want to know if my account is still logged in and what precautions I should be taking?

FYI, You might be able to get your Serial Numbers attached to your Apple ID in:
https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Or look up your purchases.
http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
They could have interrupted your mirgration. Keep an eye out doing google,yahoo searches for your serial numbers. Look on Craigslist and e-bay and ask questions and for serial numbers to check specifications. Always notify the police they can help with pawn shops and other things.
I also thought you might want additional information on how to track it even without anti-theft software Like iCloud, Dropbox, Gmail, etc.. If you have these report those programs to the police as they can be used to track it.
You can use Anti-Theft programs like Prey or LoJack if installed before they get stolen.

TS1398 when i select settings the wi-fi says it's not connected, the wi-fi says it's on and i see my network name. Does this mean that I'm connected to my wi-fi or not?

When I check the settings the wi-fi says it's not connected so I follow the symbol > and then the wi-fi says it's ON and I see my network name. Does this mean that I'm connected to my wi-fi or not? I'm also set up on a Network.

If it says you are not connected, then you are in fact not connected. The symptoms you described, for example, would appear if your router were working correctly but you entered an incorrect network (WPA or WPA2) password and therefore failed to sign on to your network.
You might try clicking the white arrow in the blue circle next to your network name and choosing "Forget this network". Then reset your iPhone by holding the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then see what happens when your network appears.

Hi apples-consecutive-buyer-for-life,
Family Sharing makes all of your past purchases available to other family group members, including most apps. See this article on what content can be shared -
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
Note also that content can be hidden. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? Thanks

My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? We share iTunes account so I think we are both on the same iCloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using the same ID as a primary iCloud login, then yes she can see your photos in photostream if you have it enabled.
You can use the same ID for iTunes so you can share all your purchases, but you need different ID's for iCloud.
Unfortunately, the mess caused by sharing the ID, will need to be sorted manually, once you both have your own ID's.

IPhone 4s not being recognized and cannot be activated for service--what does this mean? I can't sync with iTunes. Please help

did you find a fix?

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID. Only your wife would know how that file arrived there. Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.

Ive just tried to update my iphone 4 and its asking me to restore it does this mean i will lose all of my information?

Ive jsut tried to update my iphone 4 and its asking me to click restore, does this mean I will lose all of my information?

You will only lose data that you did not sync to your computer, or data you did not back up to iCloud. If you have synced or used iCloud then the data is stored for you.

IMac crashing, New to Apple Support...Does this mean anything:

After one year of using it without issues my iMac began crashing occasionally. I timed it. . . every 23-24 minutes I'd get a spinning colored-wheel. . . I repaired permissions and this improved the frequency of not crashing to about every couple days. Today, it crashed (maybe) three times. I am new to things-Apple. . .
I found this in one of the logs. What does this mean?

Welcome to the forums!
If you are having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Mac OS Lion...does this mean I miss out?

I bought my MBP in April. My cousin bought his MBP about a week ago. And today, Apple announced the release the new OS.
Does this mean I/we are not eligible for a possible free upgrade?

When I try to open my iphoto, I get a notice saying the computer can't open it and it needs to be rebuilt, what does this mean?

When I tried to open my iphoto program yesterday and a box popped up saying ( iphoto is unable to open this library, the library has issues that require rebuilding to correct) Does this mean I have lost all my photos? And how do I rebuild it? I don't understand, It was working fine the last time I used it. Need help!!

It just needs to rebuild the database. You do have your iPhoto library backed up to an external source just in case?
And how do I rebuild it?
Hold down the Option + Command keys then launch iPhoto.
Select the first option.

I have an old and new mac and used transfer manager to put the old mac on the new so that i have both users on one computer but now I can only log in as the new and as guest so cant access my old computer docs on this newer mac. Help!

Hello I have just sold my old macbook and so transfered all my data to my newer macbook using transfer manager. This allowed my to login on the newer computer under either the old or new username so I could access both computers' data on my newer computer. Last night that worked but today I can only access my newer user and a guest user. Where did my old user name and all the data go after the transfer? Help please! I have to give the buyer the old computer today!
Aminah

I am not familiar with "transfer manager." Did you perhaps use the Migration Assistant? What operating system is installed on your new computer?
If you look in your hard drive, in the Users folder, do you see a folder with the name from your user on your old computer?
Best of luck.

Best Airport Extreme Wireless Radio Mode with Old and New Macs and PC

I'm running Airport Utility 5.3.2 and am running / connecting to the Internet with a new Airport Extreme 802.11n Gigabit Ethernet (the new squared off one) with "Version 7.3.2".
In addition to my new MacBook Black (which has 802.11n, I have two other older Maxs that run 802.11b/g (and also a PC that has 802.11.b/g/n).
Currently, the Airport Extreme's "Wireless" "Radio Mode" is set to
802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
But, reviewing the Radio Mode menu, I see there are a number of choices that seem "faster" - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz), 802.11n (802.11a compatible) and 802.11n only (5 GHz).
Can I set the Radio Mode to any of these other settings and still have my older Macs (and the PC) connect to the internet using this Airport Extreme? Or, do I have to leave my Airport Extreme Radio Mode set to what appears to be a slower speed 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) setting to allow others to use this Airport Extreme Base Station?
FWIW, I do have an older Airport 802.11g version 5.7 still connected and set up and the older computers can / could connect through that. However, I was hoping to give that one to a friend for their use elesewhere and wanted to have only one Airport Extreme set up at my house.

"you'll use N+B/G at 2.4 GHZ."
I guess you means that I should continue with my current setting on the Airport Extreme - which is "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" - if I want all my computers to access the web via the Extreme. Correct?
I'm too much of a novice to try a "bridge" mode setup.
However, your suggestion (I think) "It would be more reliable and faster speed if you could connect both routers to using ethernet" does give me hope.
My Verizon Fios modem is actually a router. Indeed, I have my TiVo box connected to the Fios modem/router.
If I connect BOTH of my Airport Base Stations to the Fios modem/router and then do the following:
(1) set the newer "Extreme" Base Station to "802.11n only (5 GHz)" and
(2) keep the older Base Station (running 802.11g) as is
then my (and others') newer computer(s) with 802.11n can connect at high speed via the Extreme and older computers can still connect using the older Base Station.
Correct?

HT1435 My apple ipod 3rd generation just stopped and I have no battery icon. Does this mean I must have the battery replaced or what?

My Ipod Nano just quit working in the middle of my using it. There is no battery icon of any kind. Does this just mean I need to have a new battery installed and if so, where?

Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. Only they can tell you what is wrong with it after they examine same.

HT1349 The display of my Iphone 4S does not respond and the LED is on. What does this mean?

The display of my iphone is not responding amd the LED is on. What does that mean?

However i can't check settings because the display does not respond, i tried to use three fingers, but nothing happens. It can receive phone calls and notifications, but the display still is not responding so i can't answer phone calls. But now the Led is off.

My old and new macs were stolen during migration. Does this mean they are logged in to my account?
