Q: How can I find my lost MacBook Pro

Hi, I have some question for this community of who is using MacBook Pro.

I want to know that is there anyway to track my lost MacBook Pro? In case, I don't remember its serial number, I don't have the package and receipt.

What I have right now is the apple ID, I think that Apple ID may be able to connect to my Mac, because I bought my Mac on last summer, around July 2011, at Utah State University Apple Store.

In the time when I bought, there was a promotion that if I buy a Mac, I would get $100 for my app store. So what I remember that there was a sheet of buying a Mac giving to me in order to register and get the promotion of $100 free shopping on app store. I think the sheet would provide something about my Mac, for example: my Mac's serial number? because I heard that there will be serial number on the receipt when we buy an apple product. Or if the apple store has recorded on any purchase of Apple Product, it is possible that I will recognize my serial number again.

Please let me know if there is anyway to get it back, I need all my info in the lost Mac back, but I didn't set up iCloud.

Please contact me when you know any solution.

Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.3.x)

    No solution other than to contact the police - but I don't know if even they can help if your machine was lost and not stolen. If you'd had iCloud's "Find My Mac" on, you could find it if someone goes online with it (and don't know what their doing).

     

    Otherwise, I'd just save up for a new computer...
