Stolen MacBook. Can you see if iCloud is on to wipe it?
I Have had my Macbook stolen. I can see from the tracking program he has managed to get in to my password protected user account some how and looking at my stuff. I made the error of locking the screen with this program then trying to wipe the MacBook remotely vid iCloud but all iCloud says via my find my phone app is that it is off line.
could this because icloud is turned off on my macbook but still listed in my devices as it was on at some point. I can not remember if it was on or off before.
OR would iCloud know I deactivated in on my MacBook previously and not list it?
I Am slightly worried how good this guy is if he got around my user account password or is that quite easy?
You can't do a thing because the computer is offline. If you set Find My Phone to erase the drive then it should do so once the computer comes online.
What To Do If Your Mac Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.
Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find My Phone on your iDevice.
The following is third-party anti-theft software:
1. STEM 2.1
2. MacPhoneHome 3.5
3. MacTrack 7.5.0
4. VUWER 1.7
5. Sneaky Bastar* 0.2.0
6. Undercover 5.1.1
7. LoJack for Laptops
8. Hidden 2.0
9. Prey 0.6.2

Hi,
I get a Macbook Air and I have keynote and pages. I' m using my iCloud credentials, but i can't access to my files on iCloud.
When I access through my iPad or my mac mini, I do can see and access to my keynotes, pages and numbers through the apps (both, ipad and mac)
but when I try to do the same on my macbook air, I can't see my iCloud files. And I can't upload new files either on my macbook air.
My macbook air has OS X 10.9.4
My Keynote 6.2 (1861)
Pages 5.2 (1860)
On my iCloud settings everything is ok, see my attachment.
I hope you can help me, it's really hard to work this way
thanksI do not use iCloud and would never recommend doing so, least of all its impressive ability to lose files.
I suggest using Dropbox, there are many other file transfer applications that do an equal job, but all my clients use Dropbox and we have never had issues sending and receiving files.

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?
It appears an SMC reset was required:
HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks! -
Sometimes I will get a notification that x device is using my apple ID for FaceTime (or other services). Sometimes it is just generic Mac Book Pro. His can I see which devices are using my ID (and can you see more details than just the name)?
I just started getting this message too. Just started the last couple of days. It doesn't give a time that it was used. All it says that "appleid" was used to sign in to facetime on Macbook. My Macbook is not named "Macbook." It also doesn't correlate to times when computer is being used.

How can I see my iCloud content?
How can I see my iCloud content?
You can't see items contained in an iCloud backup, you can only restore it to your device. (The apps are actually redownloaded from the App store when you restore that backup.)
Did you restore her iCloud backup to her new phone? -
macbook can't see the battery
Try starting the MB in Safe mode. If the trouble goes away in Safe mode, then there is definitely a problem with the configuration of your main account. If the problem persists under Safe mode, then it could be a hardware problem, in which case you will need to have it serviced.

If you gotten your ipod, ipad, etc. stolen how can you get it back?
If you gotten your ipod stolen how can you get it back?
- I you had turn on the FindMyiPod feature than you can go to icloud.com, log in and go to FindMyiPhone you may be able to locate it if wifi is on. However, that can be disabled by turning it off or restoring the iPod
- Otherwise, just the old fashiponed way. Apple will not help
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Report it to the police. -
HT4759 i can not see my icloud in system preferences
i can not see my icloud in system preferences
You must be running Lion inorder to get the iCloud preference pane:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
iOS 5*
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
PC
Microsoft Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
* Note: Although you can use iOS 5 and OS X Lion as noted above, you will not be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.
The above is from this Apple document: iCloud: System requirements

Macbook can't see external HD connected to iMac
Hello,
I just bought a Macbook and set it up with my iMac on the wireless network. Everything else works fine, but my Macbook can't see the external drive that is connected to my iMac. I want to be able to back up the Macbook to the drive. I tried turning on file sharing on the iMac and adding the LaCie drive to the list of shared folders, but its still not showing. Is there something I need to change or configure to get it to show up?
ThanksI believe this Airport update, released in the spring (2008) did enable AirDisk usage with Airport Extreme wireless devices:

Unfortunately, it is Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) only, and I see form your stats that you are still on Tiger (10.4).
It will be interesting if Tadd's tip works though. Let us know.
Cheers! -
Can you combine different icloud accounts?
CAn you combine different icloud accounts? For some reason, my new iphone 6 keeps on popping up an old email address for icloud.
When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes. -

can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?
Hi wjosten,
thank you for the help. I should have said I had a iphone 3. A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button. Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD. I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens. Am I making sense? -
Hi,
I have created a site using Dreamweaver 8 as I usually would.
The client claims she cannot see the page background on the main

Could someone please tell me...can you see a background image

linked?
Thanks in advance.
