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.

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.

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.

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.

HT1349 should i give my macbook pro serial number to my employer

should i give my macbook pro serial number to my employer

If your employer bought it, it is theirs and they have a right to request what they want (e.g., for inventory purposes). If you bought it, it is yours. You can then decide if it is in your interest to let them know the serial number. I don't know your work environment but if somebody from IT came by would it make sense they be able to uniquely identify it as belonging to you?

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.

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.

Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline. I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!

How do you track a stolen MacBook Pro with iCloud?

How do you track stolen MacBook Pro with iCloud

If you had set up Find My Mac on your MacBook before it was stolen, go to http://www.icloud.com and log in, then press Find My <Something> there.
If you did not set up Find My Mac, it's too late now. You cannot track it.

15" MacBook Pro, serial No. W8*******YJX

Good evening,
After making an appointment, I visited the local apple store to discuss a problem apple acknowledged some time ago.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377?viewlocale=es_ES
Four years ago I bought a 15" MacBook Pro, serial No. W8*******YJX, but it stopped working 2 days ago. In the apple store they quickly found that the problem is caused by a known problem of this specific model.
I understood this problem was addressed by apple up to one year ago under some extended warranty. However now the price to repair my MacBook would be around 500Euro.
I was advised to contact apple care by the store manager Tristán Doutre-Roussel, of the Apple store gran plaza 2, in Madrid.
However, the person I spoke to at apple care told me that they are not responsible for the manufacturing fault of my MacBook.
At the apple store I was told this failure can be repaired but it was not recommended for various reasons.
I'm absolutely angry and feel cheated by apple. I've been a long time customer owning various apple products.
iPad (serial No. DM*******K10)
iPhone (serial No. DN********TC0)
I'm very careful in using my MacBook as I earn my living in using it. As a result I only use it for specific activities which is probably the reason why this issue hasn't occurred sooner.
I can't understand why I have not been contacted pro actively by apple to bring it in for repair during the period in which this fault was discovered and being repaired free of charge.
I also don't understand why there was a time limit set on this repair period when it was an apparent common failure.
At this point I want to make a formal complaint as recommended by the store manager. I understood that in similar cases, exceptions were granted and apple provided a solution where the main circuit board was swapped and I know for a fact that this still can be done.
As this is clearly acknowledged to be a manufacturing defect, I feel that apple can not distance themselves from this.
I hope to receive a positive answer and I trust to find a solution within a short time frame because I need to use it for my work and don't want to buy a new computer.
With best regards,
José Ignacio Asensio.

1. You are not addressing Apple, this is a user to user forum.
2. You have yet to give any information about what your problem is.
3. Don't post your serial numbers in public, I will ask for them to be removed.

How can I find the serial number of my stolen MacBook Pro?

Hi,
I had my 2009 Macbook Pro stolen about 10 months ago. I didn't think I'd see it again until last last it showed up on my "Find My Phone" App, in Vietnam.
I locked it straight away and sent a message to the screen with my email address.
The person who had it worked at a computer shop and contacted me straight away.
He understands its stolen and wants to help but he will only give it to the police. And the Vietnamese police want my serial number to proove its mine before they will send it back to me.
I don't have a copy of the recpiet or serial number. I've been to the iStudio where I bought it and thier records start 1 month after I purcahsed it.
I've tried the https://supportprofile.apple.com page and for some reason my macbooks are not registered on there. All my other apple products are.
Is there any other way I can retrieve my serial number?
It's conected to the icloud and the app and I've made puchases on iTunes from it.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Many Thanks

No.

STOLEN MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Serial number: C1*******TY4

Hello to everyone,
My Macbook Pro was stolen while travelling in China on my way from Yangshuo to Guilin.
I know its maybe just another post about a stolen computer for everybody but I have to try anyways !
The serial number is as stated above: C1*******TY4
I have read countless articles and surfed the web for answers and advices on how to find my stolen Macbook.
I only have the Air Port ID but not the IP adress and pre installed ICloud or tracking software alas...It has been reported to the police though
If anybody has suggestions, infos, tips, anything, please contact me.
Thank you in advance to everyone willing to contribute in any way possible because I am very frustrated and out of options.

If you have your iCloud set up, you can use the iCloud service to see if your macbook is online. Go to http://www.icloud.com sign in with your apple ID and click on find my iPhone.On the top left under Devices make sure your Macbook is selected. It will display a rough approximation on it's location based on the whatever wired or wireless network it is connected to. Other than that, there isn't much you can do unless the idiot trys to sell it in Ebay or the police catches him before he/she sells it. Good luck.

Stolen MacBook Pro...Need Serial Number Help

My daughter's older MacBook Pro was stolen over Spring Break. It was purchased used and unfortunately we did not write down the serial number. The police are asking for it. It has previously been logged into our families iTunes account. Is there any way I can get the serial number for a computer that has been logged into our account? Please help. Thank you

If you registered the device on your Apple Support Profile, then the serial number is there:
Apple - Support - My Support Profile
The fact that your iTunes account was logged onto the computer does not help you. There is no record kept of computer serial numbers for computers that you may have logged your iTunes account on.
Sorry,
GB
