What to do if your Mac is lost or stolen?
Here are some steps you can take if your Mac is lost or stolen:
- Report the loss or theft to local law enforcement
Officials might request the serial number of your computer. You can find this information on the original box or receipt you received when you purchased your Mac.
- Use the “Find My” service
If your Mac is stolen or lost, you can use Find My to try to track its location and take appropriate action. Here’s what to do:
- On another device, such as an iPhone or iPad, open the “Find My” app.
- Then select the “Devices” section and tap on the lost or missing Mac.
- Depending on the situation, you have several options:
- If you think your Mac is nearby and safe, you can use the “Play Sound” feature to make the device beep. This will make it easier for you to find it indoors.
- If you’re concerned that your Mac might be stolen or access is not secure, you can turn on “Mark as lost” mode. This will lock your device with a password and display a message on it with your contact information so that an honest resourceful person can return your Mac to you.
- If you have important data on your device and are concerned about its security, you can delete all content on your Mac using the “Erase” feature. This will erase all the data on the device, but it will also lock it so no one else has access to it.
- Change your passwords
If you’re concerned about the security of your personal information, change your Apple ID password to prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services from your missing device.
- Remove your lost or stolen Mac from your list of trusted devices
Remember, while you can take these actions to increase the chances of recovering your Mac or protecting your personal data, it’s always a good idea to regularly backup your computer and keep your personal information secure.
