Stolen mac: it is possible to block it and to locate it?

Hi all,
My mac has been stolen yestarday. I have my serial number, ethernet ID and bluetooth ID.
What should I do?
I reported to the police. Is it possible in this case to block and even to locate my mac?
Unfortunately, I haven't activate the option of iCloud "find the device" on my laptop.
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, the iCloud approach was the only possibility for blocking/locating via the internet.

  • Does anyone know how or if even possible to block stations and limit content on iTunes Radio?

    Does anyone know how or if even possible to block stations and limit content on iTunes Radio?  I have younger children listening to inappropriate music.  I have the iPad locked down but that doesn't seem to help.

    Thank you for your response! I just don't want to spend more time on beautifying the libsyn page via hours of dumpster diving for code hence reaching out on here about iWeb (even if it's sadly been put out to pasture). This was the response that I got from Libsyn about this:
    Hello,
    Thanks for contacting us. Just to clarify, our system's blog page templates are basic 'starting points' -- we're working now to improve our basic blog page templates to make more options available to Libsyn users.
    You might be able to use your Libsyn show's RSS feed to generate content on an iWeb page. You could do a Google search for 'convert RSS to HTML' to learn more. Here's a link for more info about generating HTML content from an RSS feed source:

    We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Please let us know if you have any questions. 
    Any thoughts? Btw, if it possible to 'view source code' for an iWeb page that's created or to take html code and plaster it into an iWeb page? If that's possible then I might be able to use iWeb for Libsyn.

    What To Do If Your iDevice 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:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • Is it possible to block texts and only receive imessages when traveling?

    I am traveling to Europe, and I was wondering if there is an option to block text messages and only send and receive imessages through wifi?

    iMessage over cellular will be increasingly more expensive as that would use Data while roaming.  Regular text messages do not need data. Unless you want to only use Wifi while traveling, in which case yes, set the Phone to Airplane Mode and just turn on Wifi.
    By the way,  Turning on Arplane mode will prevent any calls form coming in either. Text messages an calls use the same system which you would be turning off in Airplane mode.

  • Is it possible to block an ipod touch when it has been stolen ?

    Is it possible to block an ipod touch when it has been stolen ?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod 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.
    - 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

  • Is it possible to block spams in Mail on iPad?

    Is it possible to block spams in Mail on iPad?

    There really is no spam filter on iPad.  One usually sets spam filters on the main mail server on either Mac or PC.  For example, my Yahoo spam does not appear in my Yahoo mailbox on iPad.  It does appear in the spam folder on Yahoo mail on my PC.

  • How to find a stolen mac book pro

    i recently had a mac book pro stolen from me, it was locked and on. i have no serial number for it, and i was wandering if there is any way to track it?
    Please help.

    Just about all of the easy methods of tracking a stolen Mac depend on you setting them up before it gets stolen. After it gets stolen, it is still possible, but for you to have any chance you would have to be a rather advanced network engineer who remembers a few key network attributes about your laptop and left some back doors open before the theft. And even then, it's a lot harder than if you had turned on anti-theft features before, not after, the theft.

  • Stolen Mac, no serial number

    I have been stolen my MAC BOOK Pro and I obviously don't have my serial number with me, so I cannot contact the apple support team. I am wondering if by erasing my MAC it only gets erased when connected to the internet, like when blocking it, and if that information i erase will ever be found again.
    There is not much info about this on the sites. I don't understand what's the point of blocking it if it only gets blocked when the person who stole it connects to internet. I just don't want them to get into my personal data and photos and information. Thanks

    It must connect to the internet in order to be erased because that is the only way it can receive the instruction to be erased (i.e., how else could it be told that you want it to erase). The following has more information about Find My Mac, locking, erasing etc: https://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/
    The following has some ways to get the serial number if you need it for filing a police or insurance report: Find the serial number of your Apple hardware product - Apple Support
    This won't help for this time but if you get it back or buy a replacement you may want to consider turning on FileVault. It will protect your data and information from being available to anyone: OS X: About FileVault 2 - Apple Support

  • I have a mac adobe is installed put on utube and other sites it says blocked plugin

    i have a mac adobe is installed put on utube and other sites it says blocked plugin

    Hello,
    What version of Flash Player do you currently have installed?  You can check the version installed by going to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click the 'Check Now' button.  The version installed (plus browser and OS versions) will display.
    If the version installed is not the latest (14.0.0.176) it's possible Apple has blocked access (they do this, not Adobe).  If you do not have the latest version, please go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install the latest version.

  • Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
    Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
    For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
    Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

    Hi ChrisJ4203,
    I see you didn't comment on editing the numbers in the keypad, I believe you have that problem too but you forgot to click "I have this question too".
    By the way I've sent a couple feedback messages to Apple already and thanks for reminding me, I guess I'll have to be doing that more often.
    Enjoy your day

  • Strange question re stolen mac and App store log-in

    I was unfortunate to have my macbook pro stolen a couple of months ago. It disn't have a login screen so anybody could use it without wiping anything etc [yeah, I know]
    Anyway, I hardly ever used App store as I was experiencing a bug.... I couldn't launch it or update my software because of Network connection errors.... I subsequently found this was due to Little Snitch. When I successfully launched the App app today I noticed a strange email address in the Apple ID box that I had never seen before and Spotlight couldn't find in any variation or form. This was on my iMac which only I have ever had access to. I should stress that I only ever used the App store a couple of times under Snow Leopard about a month before my macbook was stolen and couldn't use it all once I upgraded to Lion due to the Little Snitch issue. My macbook was Snow Leopard.
    I've been using macs since the Classic and regard myself a semi-pro user and I've never seen anything like this before.
    What would be the odds of asking Apple to check this email addess as it seems to ba an Apple ID and matching against the stolen macs serial number?
    ..... as I said, no one has access to my iMac and this adress was the default when I tried to log in to the App store for the first time [about 3rd time ever] today.
