Track my lost macbook pro

Hi There
I am currently living in Durban, South Africa and I lost my MacBook Pro last week. They broke into my car and stole it. Is there a way to track the laptop with my serial number? Kindly advise asap. All my work and clients work on it.

Unless you had Find My Mac or similar turned on/activated BEFORE your Mac was lost/stolen, there is no way to track it now. Change all of your passwords, report the loss to your insurance company & police.
Apple does not maintain a database of lost/stolen Apple products.

    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.

    Quite a while since there may be 1/2 million files or more to delete. There is only one quick way, and that is to reformat the drive.

  • Lost MacBook Pro in Bangkok, Thailand and was tracked and found in Vietnam. What should I do?

    In Bangkok, Thailand ... I've lost my MacBook Pro on Saturday night and I was trying to track by 'find iPhone' application. Till Monday 7th morning, alert email has informed that my MacBook Pro was found near Quốc Lộ 1A 250 Tỉnh Hà Tĩnh Phường Hà Huy Tập.

    Thanks you so much in advance for any advice :)

    Contact the authorities and see if they will recover it for you...pursuing it on your own is not a good or safe thing to do.

  • Track lost MacBook Pro without iCloud?

    I believe I've lost my MacBook Pro. I never installed iCloud. Is there any way I can track its location, or is the lesson I'm learning now that I should have installed iCloud? I have my serial number, if that helps at all.

    You'll have to go back or host your own CalDAV/CardDAV server.
    There is a third-party sync software out there that seems to be nearing release, soon.

  • Tracking Lost Macbook Pro

    I lost my MacBook Pro. I tried tracking it by using the "Find my Iphone" app. However, only my iphone and ipad show up on the app. Is there a way to add my mac book pro to the devices on the "Find my Iphone" app if I don't have direct access to my Mac Book?  Icloud is enabled on my mac book, but I never enabled "Find my Iphone" on the computer. I also have past emails from apple alerting me that I've logged onto the computer with my apple ID. In the emails it specifically describes my computer, with the model, OS, and name of my computer. So, apple was able to identify my computer with my apple ID. Is there a way to track my mac book through my apple id?

    No, there is not. Find My Mac must be active before you lose it, it requires access to the Mac (physical access) in order to turn it on.

    I have left my bag inside taxi with my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15 inches inside and therefore how will I track my Mac back. I also have serial number, part number, and model number of my MacBook Pro with me and I have on iCloud on my MacBook Pro.

  • Lost MacBook Pro showing locked in find my iPhone.

    I recently discovered that we had lost our MacBook pro.  We are not sure of the exact lost date.  When we checked today on Find My iPhone app it says it was locked on March 26th.  Does this mean if someone found it they have locked it?  How can we track the last location of it?
    Thank you

    This sounds silly, but while in Find My iPhone, click on the Play Sound button.  Hopefully you will hear it beeping under the sofa.
    Have a nice day.

  • Trying to track my stolen Macbook pro...any ideas will help?

    Our home was recently broken into they made off with 2 Mac. One was a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, and a New IMac desk top monitor (dummies left the mouse and key board). We hadent downloaded any type of "ifind" apps to either computer, that we know of. However i feel strongly that there has to be a way to track one, if not both, of these computers. Everything with Macs needs to be registered. So if there are any ideas suggestions on how i might have a chance at finding our stolen items. it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Design3r

    My Macbook Pro 13.3" was taken by a taxi driver in Kathmandu, Nepal. I had bought it from Toronto. (I have information about an appointment day and time at an Apple Store in Toronto; I don't have the serial number of the macbook; Can that appointment time at the Apple store for repairs will be able to find me the serial no.? Please advise and help).
    Meanwhile I opened my Twitter account last week and found that someone had edited my Twitter details and has put his school name, his first name and the city name (Kathmandu) and had tweeted from my account. I found him from facebook and got his last name. From his pictures in Facebook I got the area. I went to that area and could find the house. I got the help of the police who raided his house. That was a young boy of 12 who was apparently trying to open a Twitter account on my macbook but I had my password saved.
    When the police interrogated that child he told that he used to use a cyber cafe which has been closed down, but the owner was his Facebook friend. From his Facebook account we got the phone number of that cyber cafe owner and got the call details. But meanwhile at one police station an officer called him directly and ordered him to come to the police station. He came with a small acer laptop and pleaded innocent. The matter was referred to cyber crime branch of Kathmandu police. Now they are asking me to bring the IP address when my twitter account was opened on January 17th.
    I am confused how to go about it. 90% investigation has been done by me but the police are not ready to do the rest 10%. Please let me know how can I find the IP address when my Twitter account was opened on January 17th? How can I get the serial number of my Macbook? Will the serial number be of any help in locating the Macbook? My Macbook was logged on to my name, can anyone log me off and use his own id to use the Macbook or will my name stay on it always for life? Please help with your advice. I have spent a lot of money on this matter.

  • Lost macbook pro, how can i find it ?? help !!!

    my macbook pro is lost , how can i find it. i didnt turn on my findmyiphone on icloud !

    Do you have a Pro Support actived and a Location Service?
    Do you have a "Find My Mac" in iCloud?
    If you don't have any of this, will be hard to find your Mac!
    Check in your iCloud if your Mac was localized. If show like "offline", click in "Lost Mode". A Access Code is necessary to unlock your device posteriorly. If you not have one, a new 4 number code is necessary. See instructions in iCloud help. If anybody turn-on your Mac, it enter in "locked mode" and nobody can use it and you can find it!
    Alternatively, you can back to airport or call and check in "Lost & Found" department if anybody find your computer!
    Good luck!!!

  • Track pad on macbook pro 2010 can click but no response

    Hi.
    I have a macbook pro late 2010 model. Suddenly the mouce tracp won't work. I does everything I ask it to and even click. But when I click nothing happens. Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried screw thing behind the battery trick but that only helps if the track doesn't click at all. Help please!

    Have you tried it with a mouse to see if that works? If it works with a mouse, it may be a trackpad hardware issue. You can take it to an Appple Genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

  • Track pad on MacBook Pro 15"

    The track pad on my MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2009) when trying to drag and drop files stays continously selected and never lets me drop them into the new folder.  This all started happening after install of the OS X Mountain Lion. 
    I have already tried the universal access route by enabling dragging but it doesn't seem the same way as it used to be.  Because even with that then when I select words while typing, it like locks and drags and messes that up, and if I do it without drag lock then it goes back to not working at all, and stays continsouly selected.
    Also have tried Disk Repair Permissions.
    Is there a patch out to fix this, or another way to fix this?

    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    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.
