What is my mac is stolen and they turn off icloud findmymac?

If my macbook pro is stolen, and they turn off the icloud findmymac feature, what can I do to recover it?
Also, can I use findmymac on a PC?  In other words, if its lost, can i log into iCloud thru my PC to find it?

After calling the police log into your online iCloud account from any computer, go into the Find My Mac section and if it's visible you can remotely lock the computer. If it's visible immediately call the police and tell them the situation and where it apprears to be located.
Remember the code you entered for the locking as you'll need to to unlock the Mac if you get it back.

  • I've changed my apple id password, however icloud still only accepting my old password. (though to sign in here, for example, it only accepted my new one). My Mac was stolen and I really wanted icloud to be safe! How do I get this sorted?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

    ... does my iMac model... support Hibernatemode 3 alias "Safe Sleep" to protect my Mac against damages due to power outage?
    You can set hibernate mode to 3, but it seems to me its only benefit could be if power were to be lost after the iMac was already sleeping. Sleepimage is written to disk prior to system sleep. If your iMac lost power while it was "awake" you would certainly lose any unsaved work no matter what hibernate mode you choose.
    The problem is that an iMac without power no longer sleeps, it's dead. Upon restoring power you need to cold boot, and I seriously doubt sleepimage can be forced to load in that event. Sleepimage is loaded upon wake from "safe sleep", not from boot as far as I know.
    It is simple enough for you to try, so go ahead and see if it does what you want. Other than creating a 16 GB sleepimage file it did not appear to do anything beneficial on the iMac I am using though (a later model).
    The file location is /private/var/vm/sleepimage
    Configure hibernatemode, verify the file is created, do some work on your Mac, don't save it to disk (and don't use Pages or similar app that saves work on its own), let it sleep, then pull the plug. I think you will see what I mean.

  • What will happen to my mac if I turn off icloud

    I thought I could sync my mini and laptop using icloud only to find my laptop was too old after setting up my icloud account.  Now, I find if I turn if off it says documents, contents, etc will be deleted from my mac mini.  Is that true?  How do I turn if off and keep my stuff.  I don't have iphone or ipad and don't need icloud.
    thanks

    What is the exact wording of the message?
    Why not just leave it on on the one Mac? That way you can access some items by going to icloud.com and signing in.

    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud.

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

    Nothing... why would they do anything?
    Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

  • Mac Mini Stolen and need to wipe data

    Hi.
    Our office had a Mac Mini stolen and we need to wipe the data from it. Problem is, all our Macs have been upgraded to Yosemite apart form teh one stolen and can't see it on the list within iCloud.
    Is there another way we can wipe the data from iCloud on that Mac Mini?

    If you can't erase by:
    iCloud: Erase your device
    Then you would first have to physically find the Mac in order to erase. it.

  • Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked.  However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

    I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
    You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column.  Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan.  You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
    The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
    Good luck.

  • My mac and iPhone 6  has been hacked! foresure! Antivirus sentinel pro from apple store detected apr or arp spoofing, thereafter Antivirus protection also got hacked, I turn network monitoring on they turn off like 3 times then they close Antivirus

    my mac and iPhone 6  has been hacked! foresure! Antivirus sentinel pro from apple store detected apr or arp spoofing, thereafter Antivirus protection also got hacked, I turn network monitoring on they turn off everytime then they close Antivirus for good, also Google.com is being imitated and not showing a true certificate (apr spoofing)?.these guys r good! I erased and reinstall Yosemite changed all passwords even on the wifi...could be wifi sniffing? I got Kaspersky hoping to use virtual keyboard for passwords and Kaspersky is comprised too..the virtual keyboard doesn't work it freezes up not allowing me to enter password. So I Uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky, so now I have problem with reinstall that doesn't work, then way later that day it is reinstalled..not over yet..that virtual keyboard now pops up randomly wanting me to use password? seems like they can copy anything real fast for i have to enter info like 2 or 3 times, never had that problem before. I'm thinking about going old school with paper docs and checks..yes technology ***...too vulnerable. .on the news they said 97% of businesses are hacked! can someone help me to counter this attack? thx

    You have not been hacked. Get rid of all that antivirus. It is just making your life harder.
