Alright, here goes my last two weeks. Two Sundays ago I was playing football with a couple friends. The game ended abruptly when I broke my leg and went to the hospital, but thats not the bad part. I was in the hospital for 6 hours and when I got home I found that someone had broken in and stolen my 32" Vizio flatscreen TV, xbox 360 elite, DVD player, and most importantly my 15" Macbook Pro. I called the police immediately and they came out and did the standard police thing, but as I've been in contact with them lately, they say they have no leads and I'm not going to get my stuff back, bottom line. Now I'm left with no computer to work with and worst of all, I know I'll never get the things back that were important to me on that computer. I had pictures on it from when I was 10 years old and I'll never see them again. I worked really hard to save the money to buy those things and they are all gone in an instant. I just can't believe it. I have no one else to turn to and I just don't know what else I can do. I'm getting married soon and I can't afford to go buy a new laptop, to be honest at this point that's all I care about as far as what was stolen. If anyone knows any way to track a laptop or xbox 360 it would be appreciated. I know its a long shot.
As you guessed it I was robbed. I lost not just 1 laptop but 3! I was wondering if there is anyway to track them? I know there's a software out there but i didn't have it installed.
i just bought it and am having a little trouble exporting a track i made. i didnt do much to it, just cut it and can not figure out how to export. i go to the export option and then try and save it to the desktop but it is not there when i go to find it
I have installed MacKeeper, and now am in doubt whether I should lock my Macbook Air (but then I can't erase the contents anymore), erase the contents (but then I am afraid MacKeeper, who is supposed to take a picture and send it, will also be disabled), or do nothing and trust MacKeeper

I am looking in to getting some protection to recover and make life hard for a thief, if my MBP should get stolen. I found several products doing a search. They are for example: GadgetTrak Laptop Security, Hidden, LoJack for Laptops, Rest safe.with any of these products, or other ones, that you would say is a good investment and worth it. Or possible other ways of doing so that I did not think of.

Info: MBP, MM, MBP - 10.6 + Windooz XP on a hard partition
How can I find out if someone else is using my stolen Ipad2. I've had the find my ipad, but it must be disconected and I used the option to wipe everything off of it. But I thought there was a way to see if it is being used because of the serial number.
My laptop was stolen last week (I just received my new one not too long ago). I have the IP address of my stolen one. Is there any way I can somehow trace it to where my old laptop is? Or do anything to get any information?
Is there a way to avoid a Snow Leopard reinstalling/formatting if someone steals my macbook?Â
I mean, if the stolen macbook gets formatted I won't be able to use hidden app that locates the mac, uses the iSight camera, takes screenshots and send them to my mail.
My MacBook was stolen so I thought that remote wiping it was a god idea. I didn't realise I would lose the ability to locate it! It has now connected to a WiFi spot and been wiped, but I would really like to locate it so that I can let the police know.
Info: MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.1), find my mac, remote wipe, locate
My Son had his MacBook Pro stolen. He asked if he could track it down through the Internet. I searched online and found some suggestions for tracking software. Not knowing who to trust I thought I would bring this to Discussions: Can it be tracked if no tracking software was installed? What are some preferred tracking programs to install on a new machine to allow this in the future?
Info: MacBook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.53, Mac OS X (10.6.2), OS 10.5.8 on MB
Recently My MAcBook Pro 13" was stolen. I have importan archives inside Time Machine (from the MacBook pro 13) and now I want to recover just some iles from the stolen MacBook to my IMac using Time machine.
I had my macbook Pro stolen a couple weeks ago.I have replacement converage with my insurance company, however they are trying to get me to sign this authorization form to replace it with a computer with the Model # as ZONM-0003. From searching google all I can find is that these computers appear to have been built with (Spare, Repair or replacement parts). Does anyone have any information on any MacBook Pro's with this model # They tell me that they are brand new computers from Apple, but from what I can see these are not the correct model numbers.I don't want to get a computer that has refurbished parts and end up having to bring it in for repairs constantly or have problems with even having it fixed because the parts are not new.
My MacBook Pro was stoen this weekend and I need to know if the Find My Mac service can help locate it. Its a summer 2009 model 15" Macbook Pro. I have the computer's serial number, and the computer is registered to my Apple ID.
One guy, who left company I'm working for, has copied some files from my mac G5 OSX 10.4. I was able to find something in logs, when the computer was on and that he connected external hdd to my mac. But I really would like to know, what files were copied to his device. Is it possible to track that too???
When my son left for college last fall, we got him a 13" MBP running Leopard and an external hard drive, which I Mac-formatted. I don't think he's used it yet. If he used Time Machine to backup his Mac and then that Mac was lost or stolen, would he be able to restore any or all of his documents, or any of his applications, onto a new Mac?
My two Imac were stolen at my classroom. It was a federal program and has my personal information as a guardian of the equipment. Both of them has a password for login. They can login and see all in the computers? my accounts? students information? Can i block each computer?
