Stolen Macbook Pro 13'. Help!

Well, this is sad...
I have a friend who has been victim of an steal in some kind of party, and he brought his macbook pro 13 inch.
After a while, the Mac dissapeared and there are no "suspicious" people, and we want to know if we can locate the computer, having the ID Airport, ID Ethernet and Serial. All this comes in the side of his Mac box.
Has apple any service to detect stolen macs?
Are there any anti-theft program?
We are desesperated, and need help. 1200 dollars ain't few stuff.
Thanks in advance

  • Stolen macbook pro - any help?

    This question has probably been asked loads of times but i would appreciate any help!
    Thank you

    Do you use iCloud?  If so did you active "Find my mac"? http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html.
    If not, your best bet is to call your local police department and report it, ensuring your provde the serial number of the computer.  This should be on our receipt, or the box the computer originally came in. 
    Call Apple care.  They can not help you with stolen computers, as they have no way of verifying your computer was actually stollen, as anyone can buy a computer on EBay, and this is not illegal.  They must take the "word" of the person calling in, that it is their computer.  However.....you can provide them with your name, and ask if that is the name registered to the computer.  They will not provide any info on who it may be registered to, but can verify it is not you.
    If the theif does register it under their name, or the new owner does, you can then notify your local police department, and they can contact Apples Legal department with this information. 
    For your iTunes data, if the computer is not recovered you will lose this data when you attempt to syn your device with another computer.   Did you back up your iTunes library?  If you used Time Machine,  you can restore "just the iTunes Library" or all of your data to a new computer. 
    If not, contact the iTunes store via their email web site, and expain the situation.  They may be able to "re-grant" data, however you must request this, and see if it is something they can do. http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Stolen macbook pro, offline, no serial #, not registered...help!

    I have a dire looking situation with a stolen macbook pro. It was stolen from me in an airport and its offline, no luck with icloud. I did not keep the box, nor the receipt (as i was traveling), I had not even registered it yet, it was brand new, and now I have no idea where to find the serial number.  I contacted Best Buy (bought off their website) to see if they keep serial numbers on sales, they said they didn´t, as I didnt have thier protection plan.
    Am I completely out of luck??

    andreaceleste,
    did you pay for it with a credit card? If so, that might be your only remaining proof of having purchased one at all. Of course, that won’t reveal what its serial number is. You’ll need to report its theft to whichever police force is in charge of that airport to have any chance of reïmbursement through your insurance company — be sure to keep all information provided to you by that police force, so that you can provide that information to your insurance company.

  • Finding a stolen Macbook Pro

    Hello fellow Apple users.
    So, as noted, my Macbook Pro had been stolen like 3 or 4 months ago. I had the device connected on Find my iPhone via icloud.com
    When my device was stolen, I immediately went on icloud.com and selected "Play a sound" and other options that were available. But the problem was, the device was not connected to the internet. So I went on with time, bought myself a new Macbook Pro and forgot about that one a little... But today, I got a mail from Find my iPhone, that a sound was played on that stolen Macbook Pro. Now I went quickly on icloud, but the device was no longer on my list, so someone probably reset it. Is there anything I could to, to at least get to know the location of it when the sound played or maybe it's current location? Thank you for your help!

    My iMac was stolen 2 weeks ago and I just got the same emails, one that a sound played on it and another that it is locked.
    According to the Find my iPhone app, shouldn't you be able to see the location for 24 hours, even if they went offline again? My device is still showing on my list, just offline. Now I have less than 24 hours to figure out why I can't see the last location...
    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    NOTE:  If you purchased the computer with a credit card it's possible you have theft coverage through them. 
        If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • Find Stolen MacBook Pro

    I have registered the MacBook Pro with my apple Id, and I see that the MacBook is offline and cannot be located in the find my iPhone app.
    If the thief reloads the operating system will I still be able track the MacBook because logically the serial number should remains the same.
    Please do let me know as I have a lot of personal data in it.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Bharath.

  • Is it possible to find the mac adress of my stolen macbook pro?

    Is it possible to find the mac adress of my stolen macbook pro? I've mad ea research an found out that the Mac Adress is really important to trace the device. But it's too late to check that on my laptop.. What should i do?

    I understand that. But about your only shot without the box is to supply Apple with the serial number and ask them for the MAC info. My thought was if you can supply the serial number it's more proof that you're the owner. There's really no other way to get it without their help.

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

    After identifying the exact connectors you need, check the Apple Store online and/or eBay...you should be able to buy a cable with the correct connector on each end, rather than fooling with an adapter.

    anyway of tracking a stolen macbook pro?

    I believe that find my iphone also works over icloud for laptops. If it's connected to the internet, just go online and look up find my iphone, and it'll show your device (even though its not an iphone) on a map.

    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

    The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem.  Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them.  Make certain that they are well seated. 
    If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time.  Also swap bays if necessary.
    Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
    Ciao.
