One of my macs has been stolen, what can I do?

hi, my friens has been stolen, and we belive that there is something to do at least to make usless the mac book taken, is it true?

Oh no..sorry to hear .  Read about the "find my mac feature" if you had it enabled: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html.  Also, read this: Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product.  Other then this and filing a report with your local authorities, there isn't much more you can do.

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen

    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. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. 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:

  • Hi my ipod touch has been stolen what can I do

    My ipod has been stolen what can I do

    - 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 to 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

  • 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. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

    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 phone has been stolen
    What is the solution

    You report it to local law enforcement, and to your wireless carrier.
    If you had the Find My iPhone function enabled on the device, then you can track it using the Find My iPhone App on another iOS device, or by using www.icloud.com on a computer.

  • My acct has been disable what can I do?y

    My acct has been disable what can I do?

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • My iphone has been stolen, how can I retrieve my contacts without sim and having never backed up

    My iphone has been stolen and I have never backed up my phone so how cn I retrieve my contacts as I have no recoed of the sim number

    The iPhone doesn't save contacts to the SIM card so I don't know what good knowing the SIM card number would do you. If you have no back up of the contacts, they are lost.

  • My iPhone has been stolen, how can I delete the data on it while at the same time, keeping my number.

    Hi there,  My iPhone has been stolen.  I have managed to get a replacement SIM with the same number.  Is there any way I can have the data on the stolen phone deleted or have it tracked and stopped of its use.  I did have Find me App but I am not sure if it was set up. I do not have the phones serial or technical details although iTunes always showed it when connected to my laptop.  Thanks  Bernie

    Use your computer and the Find My iPhone on www.iCloud.com and see if it locates your iPhone. If it does then you can wipe it remotely. If not you have no way to do so.
    Be sure to change all passwords for sites that were accessed from your iPhone.
