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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower

    How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower?

    Logic saves projects in the Logic folder, found in the Music folder.
    Projects are saved into folders, which contain the Logic file, and any associated audio files, freeze files, bounces, et cetera.
    These projects can be dragged to an external drive, a USB thumb drive, or sent via wi-fi over AirDrop.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to track a MacBook Pro without having it registered on "Find my iPhone"

    I recently lost my MacBook Pro and wanted to track it. However, I have not installed "Find my iPhone". Is thee any other way of finding it?

    Yes, with third-party software that must have been installed prior to losing the computer. There is no other way.
    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • HT5624 How can I track the MACbook Pro that just used my apple ID to log into iCloud?  (I just got an email stating that someone just used it?)

    Here is the email:
    Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".  I had a MacBook Pro stolen in January and I'm wondering if someone was using that stolen computer to login??
    Anyway to track the computer trying to log in using my other Apple ID?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in System preferences>icloud), then you can try to track it.  Using another computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the mac is listed as "offline", then you can't track it.

  • 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!!!

  • Hi, I need to know about tracking stolen MacBook Pro,

    My MacBook Pro was stolen, so I need to know how to track it back by serial number. Can I track it by serial number?
    I bought the Macbook Pro in the United States, but right now I'm living in Laos where my Macbook Pro was stolen.
    As I know there's no Apple Store here, so is there any way that could help me tracking it back?
    I didn't set up iClouds, what I just have here is serial number.

    Sorry about your loss, but it's likely never to be recovered and you probably won't want it back anyway.
