Stolen mac

My Mac book pro was stolen out of my car. Is there a way to track it?

If you enabled Find My Mac on iCloud. If you didn't no there isn't.
Contact the police and make a report of the theft.

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.
curious

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.

And will the thievs be able to purchase things from itunes or adobe with my cardinfo? I have a password who comes up overtime i download anything, but i never used itunes on buying things. I just registred there.

What is iCloud, and did you ask Apple about their "I" product? (The Cloud is not iCloud, whatever that may be)

HT1366 Any way to retrieve a serial number for my stolen Mac book without the receipt?

Please tell me there is a way to retrieve the serial number on my stolen Mac book I purchased about 5 years ago so I no longer have the receipt

Hello Jrose33,
Sorry to hear about your MacBook. I found a couple of resources that might help with locating the serial number for your MacBook.
If you registered yoru MacBook when you purchased it, you can view the serial number in the Support Profile of the Apple ID you registered it to:
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 that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Go to My Support Profile*.
Sign in with your Apple ID.
View your purchases in "My Products".

Adobe CC on stolen Mac

Hi!
Three Mac's were stolen from my office wednesday night. One of them has Adobe CC installed. On a new iMac I have installed the apps again, but I can't open them.
An error pops up...
Error: Adobe InDesign kan ikke startes, da du ikke har tilstrækkelige tilladelser til at få adgang til indstillingsmapperne. Sørg for, at du har de nødvendige tilladelser, og start derefter Adobe InDesign igen.
What to do?
Thanks.

Dear Arnaud,
It´s still not working
Ai & Ps are working perfectly but not Id.
The same Error pops up
"Adobe InDesign kan ikke startes, da du ikke har tilstrækkelige tilladelser til at få adgang til indstillingsmapperne. Sørg for, at du har de nødvendige tilladelser, og start derefter Adobe InDesign igen.”

Un-registering a stolen Mac?

My laptop has been stolen and I have bought a new one. But I can no longer synchronise my iPod in iTunes as I now have 5 approved devices - one of which is the stolen Mac. How to I un-register the stolen one?
Peter

Believe it or not, your registration may be your clue to where it is located. Ask the iTunes store customer service to look for purchases with that Mac and try to track down its IP. That may in turn lead you to the thief. So don't be too quick to unregister it.

How to find my stolen mac bookpro

i don't know how to track for find stolen mac bookpro so please help me to find it

Apple does not have any sort of tracking / flagging policy for stolen products:

Can I track my stolen mac book pro if I did not have an i cloud account activated on it before stolen.

Can I track my stolen mac book pro if I did not have an i cloud account activated on it before stolen.?

You needed to have Find my Phone set up and activated/on (which is in iCloud).
PS: Since your profile shows you're running iOS - which iDevice do you have? Iphone, iPad, or ? Do you have it set up there? (iOS is the OS for iDevices; your MBP would be on Mac OS).

Stolen mac book air

Hi
I have just had my mac book air stolen and I have all the settings on to find my mac I have down loaded the app on my phone and shows my MacBook on there but cannot locate it I have turned on the email when located setting and was just wondering when the MacBook is turned on they won't be able to enter my login but could log into the visitor one and if they do and connect to wifi or the Internet would my iPhone with the find iphone app installed be able to locate it and show me where the stolen mac is? or email me the position of it?

Find My Mac can be used to email you once a location is acquired. Once you have a location, then you may want to consider the wipe. But know that a wipe may also be a tip-off to the thief.
What it comes down to really is the knowledge that a thief has in Mac security, and your ability to approximate that knowledge that will dictate your course of action here. Your options are:
1) WIpe now, or later.
2) Send a message, if you dare. (usually done if you just think it was an innocent "lost and found" case)
3) Continually check for location (very unlikely to work unless you have lots of time)
4) Have Find My Mac send a location when available, by email.
5) Contact the authorities (always, and right now)
Good Luck
p.s. Templeton is right. Without punctuation, we're just guessing at what you are asking.

Is there any way to recover a stolen Mac with iCloud?

About less than three weeks ago, my bookbag was stolen and inside was my MacBook Pro. I have an iCloud account and OS X v10.7.3 Lion is installed on the computer. So far, the computer or bookbag has failed to show up and I have already filed a police report, but since it was stolen from a hallway on campus at my college, there's no insurance to replace the computer that was stolen along with the bookbag. I have been keeping a close eye with the computer to see if it will show up on Find My Mac, but so far it has been shown offline. I went ahead and sent a remote lock and remote wipe once the computer is connected to the Internet to see if I can locate it.
I do remember someone telling me something about the remote lock feature and how it's hard to circumvent the feature, like if the person who stole the computer thought all you would need to do is replace the hard drive, but I was told that even replacing the hard drive would not work, because a remote lock is within the firmware or motherboard (logic board). Is this true?
So how would I be able to recover this computer? Also, are there any used, refurbished MacBook, MacBook Pro computers to get to replace this computer if it doesn't show up or isn't recoverable?
I was thinking about replacing this computer with an inexpensive Ubuntu PC laptop....
I did see a refurbished MacBook unibody white (last model) selling on Amazon for $749.

Used Macs of every description are always available on Ebay and Craigslist and from a plethora of online used-Mac resellers. Apple sells refurbished late-model Macs at 10-20% discounts with a new-computer warranty and the opportunity to extend the warranty with AppleCare.

How can I inform apple about my stolen Mac Book Pro?

I want to inform apple about my stolen Macbook Pro so that if they try to register it we can trace the computer. But apparently there is no reporting system. Is there another solution, an adress to write an e-mail?

... well you answered your own queston. there is no reporting system..Apple doesn't track stolen equipment.. perhaps you bought Lojackforlaptops or turned on Find my Mac.. if you are at a college, you might want to ask your IT department if they can look for your IT via Mac's "MAC" address if you know it.
