Is there any way how to find out where a particular device was when it last went online if longer than 24 hours ago?

One Mac Book Air was stoilen frm me, I can still see it on Find my Iphone and can see that it has been renamed. The computer was offline for longer than 24 hours, so I am wondering if there is any way how I can find out it's last online location?

Mac OS X (10.5.2), MBP 15' and 2 x MBP 17'

No, you cannot find out where the computer has been. Find My Mac only shows you were the computer is right now if it is online.


I strongly recommend you change all your internet passwords immediately, notify the police (do not try to recover your MBA yourself), and your insurance company so you can get reimbursed and buy a new Mac. Once you have done all this go back to Find My Mac and click the "Erase" button.

Thanks - good advice. No big deal, the machine was old, freshly set up, no privacy implications... Just a bit funny that the thief forgot to grab the charger, that's probably cost him more than the old Air...
