Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

How can I add my lost MacBook to my device list?

It was once associated with my ID, I'm the only owner. It's been stolen.

You have to have access to the computer to add it to your device list.


Add a device to the list


After you sign in on a device with your Apple ID, that device appears in the list. Here's where you need to sign in:


  • For iOS 9 and later, sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, the iTunes and App Store, or Game Center on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.

  • For iOS 8, sign in to iCloud or the iTunes and App Store on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.

  • For OS X Yosemite and later or Windows 10 and later, sign in to iCloud on the device. 

  • For tvOS 7 and later, sign in to the iTunes and App Store on the device.

  • If any of your devices are using earlier versions of iOS, OS X, or tvOS, you won’t see them in your device list.
