Un-registering a stolen Mac?

My laptop has been stolen and I have bought a new one. But I can no longer synchronise my iPod in iTunes as I now have 5 approved devices - one of which is the stolen Mac. How to I un-register the stolen one?
Peter

Believe it or not, your registration may be your clue to where it is located. Ask the iTunes store customer service to look for purchases with that Mac and try to track down its IP. That may in turn lead you to the thief. So don't be too quick to unregister it.

My MBA was stolen. I need to buy a replacement the next day bec I used it for work. I downloaded the Find iPhone apps and registered my stolen MBA. If I will erase MAC will it also erase the data of my new MBA?

did you turn 'find my mac' ON your MBA BEFORE your it was stolen? if not, you will not be able to do anything to the stolen MBA
if you did turn it on before it was stolen, yes it will erase everything on the MBA

HT1366 Any way to retrieve a serial number for my stolen Mac book without the receipt?

Please tell me there is a way to retrieve the serial number on my stolen Mac book I purchased about 5 years ago so I no longer have the receipt

Hello Jrose33,
Sorry to hear about your MacBook. I found a couple of resources that might help with locating the serial number for your MacBook.
If you registered yoru MacBook when you purchased it, you can view the serial number in the Support Profile of the Apple ID you registered it to:
Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Go to My Support Profile*.
Sign in with your Apple ID.
View your purchases in "My Products".
You can find the full article here:

If you never registered your MacBook with your Apple ID, you can also find the serial number on the packaging:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Is there a way to "blacklist" a stolen Mac?

Is there a way to "blacklist" a stolen Mac?

Yes there is and go into a Apple Store or phone them up and give them the serial number and anywhere its registered or handed in for repair etc it will be flagged up.

My ipod was sst up/registered using my mac computer. Unfortunately, it was plugged into a pc and all my songs, pics, etc were erased. Now when i plug it into my mac to sync it, my ipod doesn't even show up in the source list. I can't restore it. Any ideas

My ipod nano 4th generation was set up/registered using my mac computer. Unfortunately it was plugged into a pc and all my files, (song, pics, etc) were erased. When I plugged my ipod into my mac to sync it again, it wouldn't even appear in the source list. I can't even click on it to restore it. It's simply not there. Any ideas on how I can get it to appear in my source list and sync it again using my mac? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Which OS & iTunes versions do you have?

Wrongly told by provider phone was unlocked...bought it...now how do I unlock it as vodaphone wont help but the phone is not registered as stolen or anything!!??please help..had it for a month now and they just wont help me!!

to cut a long story short. I was interested in an i-phone... got the details..checked them all.. on the phone and with the provider, VODAPHONE... told unlocked, not stolen etc etc. proceeded to buy the phone...new sim topped up £10 only to find it wouldn't work...
Went into vodaphone store..been running around following thier advice..(they said I need a friend who is a customer on vodaphone to get passed the unlocking with a vodaphone code.. and they would do it for free given the circumstances...so i run errands go back and forth doing as they asked...got nowhere) SO IT IS NOW A MONTH LATER..and after complaining and complaining to thier email site and repeatedly asking for help in store..I am stumped as what to do and just have a glorified ipod. I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO REMAIN ON THE VODAPHONE NETWORK given the situation they have put me in and thier unwillingness to help so i refuse to use the phone with vodaphone... BUT WHAT can i do PLEASEEEEEEE? all they keep on suggesting is that I get the original owners details but he is not answering anything...and the phone is not registered as stolen etc so what is the problem!?
As you can imagine I am really peeved by the whole thing as I actually carried out all the necessary checks, and whilst the phone was not bought directly from vodaphone, I went to them as the provider, to find otu about unlocking etc as it is always advised to do so..and it was them that gave me the wrong information but they still will not resolve the issue. I have even sent them phone records to confirm when I rung and the name of the invalid who told me the phone was unlocked in the first place. I really would much appreciate any help as they are ignoring my emails now.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

Strange question re stolen mac and App store log-in

I was unfortunate to have my macbook pro stolen a couple of months ago. It disn't have a login screen so anybody could use it without wiping anything etc [yeah, I know]
Anyway, I hardly ever used App store as I was experiencing a bug.... I couldn't launch it or update my software because of Network connection errors.... I subsequently found this was due to Little Snitch. When I successfully launched the App app today I noticed a strange email address in the Apple ID box that I had never seen before and Spotlight couldn't find in any variation or form. This was on my iMac which only I have ever had access to. I should stress that I only ever used the App store a couple of times under Snow Leopard about a month before my macbook was stolen and couldn't use it all once I upgraded to Lion due to the Little Snitch issue. My macbook was Snow Leopard.
I've been using macs since the Classic and regard myself a semi-pro user and I've never seen anything like this before.
What would be the odds of asking Apple to check this email addess as it seems to ba an Apple ID and matching against the stolen macs serial number?
..... as I said, no one has access to my iMac and this adress was the default when I tried to log in to the App store for the first time [about 3rd time ever] today.

Just what are you doing?
The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.

How to find a stolen mac book pro

i recently had a mac book pro stolen from me, it was locked and on. i have no serial number for it, and i was wandering if there is any way to track it?
Please help.

Just about all of the easy methods of tracking a stolen Mac depend on you setting them up before it gets stolen. After it gets stolen, it is still possible, but for you to have any chance you would have to be a rather advanced network engineer who remembers a few key network attributes about your laptop and left some back doors open before the theft. And even then, it's a lot harder than if you had turned on anti-theft features before, not after, the theft.

What is iCloud, and did you ask Apple about their "I" product? (The Cloud is not iCloud, whatever that may be)

De-Registering a Stolen iPod (Shuffle)

Someone broke into my car and stole my new iPod shuffle. I can't imagine how they will re-charge the device without the USB cord, but assuming that a new cord can be acquired the thief should be able to use it. My sister suggested there was a way to DE-register an iPod so that another unauthorized user can't use it. Can anyone tell me the path via Apple Support pages to de-register this stolen iPod?

This is confusing. What if I want to sell my shuffle or any other used iPod that I no longer need? How do I "de-register" the device from my account so the new owner can register it on their account? There has to be a way to do this. I've been looking for this solution for a while now.

Adobe CC on stolen Mac

Hi!
Three Mac's were stolen from my office wednesday night. One of them has Adobe CC installed. On a new iMac I have installed the apps again, but I can't open them.
An error pops up...
Error: Adobe InDesign kan ikke startes, da du ikke har tilstrækkelige tilladelser til at få adgang til indstillingsmapperne. Sørg for, at du har de nødvendige tilladelser, og start derefter Adobe InDesign igen.
What to do?
Thanks.

Dear Arnaud,
It´s still not working
Ai & Ps are working perfectly but not Id.
The same Error pops up
