My mac got stolen this weekend. I tried locating it, but all I can find is the reg number casuse its not linked up with the icloud finding thing... Of course its a bit loos - is there any way for me to find /locate it using my reg number???
Mac Pro, iOS 7.0.6, stolen
I'm afraid that this is not possible. In order for a lost iPhone to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPhone' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible. You can't use the serial number or IMEI number to locate a phone: the former is only useful to identify it as yours if it turns up, and the latter can be used by most service providers to block it, rendering it useless and preventing anyone from spending your credit.
Rogers advice applies to your Mac as well as an iPhone. (except it would have been Find My Mac that needed to be turned on)
Can I use my stolen macbooks reg number to locate it??
