Yesterday they stole my MacBook Pro. Can I track the thief?

Not unless some form of tracking software was installed & running prior to your Mac being stolen or Find My Mac was setup & activated. Otherwise, there is no way to track your computer.

  • My macbook pro can't detect the NAS after the NAS reboot.

    After I reboot the QNAP NAS, my macbook pro can't detect the NAS. I can't find the NAS drives in Finder even I input the new IP address. I remember my macbook pro was able to detect the NAS automatically before. Please help.

  • My MacBook Pro can't find the display brand and resolution

    Hello everybody,
    I have a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.7 13" Early 2011.
    I use and external display Philips 220C1SW
    Recently my mac won't recognize the Philips brand anymore and use instead a generic display resolution, which is wrong.
    Does anybody had the same issue?
    Looking forward your answers
    Mat

    Hello le-mat
    Check out the article below for resolving issues when connecting to an external display. I would start with resetting the NVRAM and SMC as they will resolve most display resolution and power issues.

  • My MacBook Pro can't find the FireWire port

    My MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) can not find the FireWire port. Until now there hasn't been any problems using the FireWire, but now it just deny any knowledge of it, so to speak.
    The audio device lights up when I connect it to the MBP (yes, I did connect it when in off-mode), so it seems to work in a way.
    Does anyone recognize this problem and knows how to solve it?

    Have you tried following through the trouble shooting tips in this knowledge base article on Firewire?

  • New MacBook Pro can't find the base station

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme Base Station. My house is wired for Ethernet so I plugged the Airport Exteme into one of the Ethernet outlets and did the set-up using my old iMac G5 over the network. (I had to download the latest software for the AirPort Extreme to the iMac before this would work right.) I finally got to the point where I got a green light on the Base Station, but when I search with the AirPort Utility on the MacBook Pro it can't find it, even when it is physically only 3 feet away. I then plugged the MacBook Pro into the AirPort Extreme with an Ethernet cable and it saw it - no problem. I then downloaded all the software updates to the MacBook Pro, restarted, unplugged the Ethernet and tried again. The AirPort Utility still can't find the Base Station. I am running 10.4.10 on both machines. I have 10.5, but don't plan un updating until I get this to work. I spent about half an hour listening to Muzak while trying to get to support and finally gave up. Any suggestions?

    In another Mac OS X user account. Choose Log Out from the Apple menu and log into it. If you want to move them over, drag them to /Users/Shared/.

    Hi,
    Please try to clear all preferences for Mac Lync.
    You can do as following steps in the link:
    http://www.unicom.iu.edu/kb.php?docid=bave :
    1.  Quit Lync for Mac.
    2..In your Home folder, open the Library folder. Note that Mac OS X 10.7 and later hides your Library folder. To access it:
           1. Press Command-Shift-g, or from the Go menu, select Go to Folder... .
           2. In the Go to Folder drop-down window, enter ~/Library, and click Go.
    3.  Remove the following files from your Library folder:
              /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Lync.plist
              /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/MicrosoftLyncRegistrationDB.xxxx.plist
              /Users/username/Library/Logs/Microsoft-Lync-x.log (This file is present only if you turned on Lync Logging.)
              /Users/username/Library/Logs/Microsoft-Lync.log
    4.  In your Documents folder, remove the following:
              /Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync Data
    5.  Optionally, also remove Microsoft Lync History:
              Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History
              Note: This optional step will delete saved conversations. For Mac users, the conversation history is not saved to the Exchange account, but instead is saved locally
    to the Mac.
    6.  Open Keychain Access from the /Applications/Utilities folder:
         1. Delete any keychains on the left that look like the following, where emailaddress is your email address: 
    OC__KeyContainer__emailaddress
         2. In your Login keychain, delete the following, where emailaddress is your email address: 
    emailaddress.cer
    7.  In the /Users/username/Library/Keychains folder, delete all files that look like the following, where emailaddress is your email address: 
    OC__KeyContainer__emailaddress

  • 1 Macbook Pro can not connect the Airport Disk Others OK!

    Have an airport Extreme with 1 Hard drive now installed. I have two Macbooks and a MacPro that can access the sharepoint fine but I have on Macbook Pro which will not connect, it seems that Finder just waits forever for a connection.
    What have I screwed up on the mac? Is there a plist or something I need to delete or reset?
    Thanks

    Problem solved it was the AEBS. Powered it down for 30secs then restarted seemed to solve the problem. Obviously Resetting it from the Airport Utility does not fully "Reset" it.

  • Macbook pro can't find the audio device

    Lately I have been having trouble with the audio. The sound doesn't work on the Macbook, and it can't seem to find any devices!
    I tried plugging in headphones, but nothing helped.
    In the time leading up to this fault, the sound in the mini jack was very poor, and sounded really bad.
    When I plug my TV to the computer, by HDMI, I works fine. Even with sound.
    Any suggestions?
    Oh, and I can't adjust the sound - it simply tells me that there is no device.

    I've tried that, and I can't choose anything.
    As I said, it can't find any devices. Tried to Reset SMC and PRAM - non helped

    Depends if you can transfer the licenses and activate Office or you need a new key but your Mac will come with some and you can redownload if bought off the AppStore on others.
    And might note this was not the forum for MBP users.

  • MacBook Pro - can't see the widget dashboard anymore?

    I have the system set to display widgets when the cursor moves to the lower right corner...was working...STILL set correctly in Expose & Spaces. Nothing happens (the DOCK pops up) in lower right corner...so I set it to upper right...still nothing happens.
    I went to the DOCK and click on DASHBOARD app...said to display dashboard...nothing happens ... no widgets appear.
    Thanks, --bill

    I brought my system up in SAFE MODE...my 'test' login DOES have DASHBOARD.app working. I don't know what the difference could be.
