Having your Mac get stolen might seem like the end of the world, but there are some steps you can take to try and get it back, or failing that, make an insurance claim. Let’s have a look at what to do if your Mac goes missing.
Mac被盗似乎是世界末日，但是您可以采取一些步骤尝试将其取回，否则，请提出保险索赔。 让我们看看如果Mac丢失了怎么办。
(Take Some Preventative Measures Now In Case Your Mac Gets Stolen)
After your Mac gets stolen, it’s often too late to do much to protect your data and private information. This means you need to start protecting yourself now as a precaution.
Mac被盗之后，为保护您的数据和私人信息通常为时已晚。 这意味着您需要立即开始保护自己，以防万一。
File Vault lets you encrypt your Mac’s hard disk. This means that without your password, no one who has your Mac will be able to access your files; if you don’t have encryption enabled and someone has physical access to the device, they can read your files. It’s really important that you turn FileVault on to keep your data private.
File Vault可让您加密Mac的硬盘。 这意味着，如果没有密码，没有Mac的任何人都可以访问您的文件。 如果您未启用加密并且某人对设备具有物理访问权限 ，则他们可以读取您的文件。 开启FileVault保持数据私密性非常重要。
Find My Mac is what allows you to track your Mac, lock it and send a message, or remotely wipe it when it’s stolen. We’ll look at it in more detail in a moment, but make sure to enable it by going to System Preferences > iCloud and toggling the “Find My Mac” option on.
“查找我的Mac”使您可以跟踪 ，锁定Mac和发送消息，或者在被盗时远程擦除Mac 。 我们将在稍后详细介绍它，但请确保启用它，方法是进入“系统偏好设置”>“ iCloud”并启用“查找我的Mac”选项。
On macOS, you can add a message to the lock screen. There’s a chance your Mac wasn’t actually stolen and that a good Samaritan will return it if they’ve got a way to contact you. Add a message with your contact details and offer a reward to your lock screen to make it easy for them.
在macOS上，您可以在锁定屏幕上添加一条消息 。 您的Mac可能没有真正被盗，如果他们有办法联系您，好的Samaritan会退还它。 添加包含您的联系方式的消息，并在锁定屏幕上提供奖励，以方便他们使用。
Unfortunately, most stolen computers are never seen again. So you don’t lose any prized family photos or important documents, you should regularly back up your Mac with Time Machine. This way, if your Mac does get stolen, at least you don’t lose any data. You should also consider using a cloud back up solution like Backblaze for a truly brainless solution.
不幸的是，大多数被盗的计算机再也看不到了。 因此，您不会丢失任何珍贵的家庭照片或重要文件，应该定期使用Time Machine备份Mac 。 这样，如果Mac确实被盗，至少您不会丢失任何数据。 您还应该考虑使用像Backblaze这样的云备份解决方案来实现真正的无脑解决方案。
(Using Find My Mac to Lock or Wipe Your Mac)
Since your Mac doesn’t have a GPS chip or a permanent data connection, Find My Mac won’t always locate your Mac the way the similar feature can with an iPhone. Whoever has your Mac will have to connect it to Wi-Fi before you can use the Find My Mac features like locking it or permanently erasing it. However, if you’ve taken the right precautions, this means that they’re left with a largely useless, encrypted device that they won’t be able to sell and which, should they ever connect it to Wi-Fi, will notify you.
由于您的Mac没有GPS芯片或永久数据连接，“查找我的Mac”将不会总是以与iPhone类似功能相同的方式来定位Mac。 拥有Mac的任何人都必须先将其连接到Wi-Fi，然后才能使用“查找我的Mac”功能，例如将其锁定或永久删除。 但是，如果您采取了正确的预防措施，这意味着它们将留给他们大量无法使用的加密设备，这些设备将无法出售，并且如果他们将其连接到Wi-Fi，它将通知您。
Head to iCloud.com using any web browser, log in to your iCloud account, and then select the “Find iPhone” option. You can also use the Find My iPhone app on any iOS device.
使用任何Web浏览器访问iCloud.com，登录到您的iCloud帐户，然后选择“查找iPhone”选项。 您也可以在任何iOS设备上使用“查找我的iPhone”应用程序。
Select the Mac you’re looking for from the list.
从列表中选择要查找的Mac。
If there’s a location available, it will be displayed. Otherwise you can check the “Notify Me If Found” box to get an email if the Mac ever comes online again. It’s important to note, however, that you should never attempt to retrieve your Mac yourself. People have died trying to get their own devices back.
如果有可用的位置，它将显示出来。 否则，如果Mac再次上线，则可以选中“如果找到则通知我”框，以获取电子邮件。 但是，请务必注意， 切勿自己尝试检索Mac。 人们死于试图取回自己的设备 。
Otherwise you’ve got three options:
否则，您有三个选择：
- Play a Sound: Plays a loud sound that’s mostly useful if you’ve just misplaced your Mac somewhere nearby. 播放声音：播放很大的声音，如果您只是将Mac放在附近的地方，该声音很有用。
- Lock Your Mac: Lets you remotely lock the Mac with a password and display a message with your contact details. The lock lasts even if the thieves try to wipe your Mac, so they won’t be able to reinstall macOS or even install Windows on it. If you offer a reward, there’s a chance the thieves will also just return it claiming they found it. 锁定Mac：允许您使用密码远程锁定Mac，并显示一条消息，其中包含您的联系方式。 即使小偷试图擦拭Mac，该锁仍然存在，因此他们将无法重新安装macOS，甚至无法在其上安装Windows。 如果您提供奖励，则盗贼有可能也会声称自己找到了它而将其退还。
- Erase Your Mac: Wipes all your personal data from the Mac. You should really use Lock Your Mac; Erase Your Mac is only really useful if you have unsecured private data you want to delete. It’s better just to set up FileVault before your Mac goes missing. 擦除Mac：从Mac 擦除您的所有个人数据。 您应该真正使用Lock Mac。 仅当您要删除不安全的私人数据时，擦除Mac才真正有用。 最好在Mac丢失之前设置FileVault。
(Contact the Police)
Seriously, I can’t stress this enough. Don’t attempt to recover your own Mac. Instead, contact the relevant police department and file a theft report.
认真地说，我对此压力还不够。 不要尝试恢复自己的Mac。 相反，请联系相关警察部门并提交盗窃报告。
Depending on how and where your Mac was stolen, there may be very little the police can do. CCTV footage is much more useful as evidence after they have a suspect than as a means of identifying an unknown thief. Even though the police could well be unable to help, you will most likely need a police report to attempt to make an insurance claim.
根据您的Mac被盗的方式和地点，警察可能几乎无能为力。 闭路电视录像带在有嫌疑人之后作为证据比作为识别未知小偷的手段有用得多。 即使警察很可能无法提供帮助，您也很可能需要警察报告才能尝试提出保险索赔。
(Contact Your Insurance Provider)
If you have your Mac insured for loss or theft, contact your insurance provider immediately. You’ll likely need to provide them with the police report and your receipt for the purchase for them to start processing the claim.
如果您为Mac的丢失或盗窃投保，请立即与您的保险提供商联系。 您可能需要向他们提供警察报告和购买收据，以便他们开始处理索赔。
Even if you don’t have your Mac specifically insured, all might not be lost. Many home insurance policies cover gadgets like laptops, even when you take them outside your house. Dig out your home insurance policy and have a look. The deductible is likely going to be a lot higher than with a dedicated insurance policy, but you should at least still get something back if your Mac is covered.
即使您没有为Mac专门提供保险，也可能不会丢失所有东西。 许多家庭保险政策都涵盖笔记本电脑之类的小工具，即使您将它们带出家门也是如此。 挖出您的房屋保险单，看看吧。 自付额可能会比专门的保险单高很多，但是如果您的Mac承保了，您至少应该还可以得到一些东西。
If you’re not in your home country, your Mac might also be covered by any travel insurance you have. Once again, find your policies and read through the fine print. Remember, your credit card company might also offer automatic travel coverage. The deductible may be high and the claim limit low, but at least it’s something.
如果您不在自己的国家/地区，则您的Mac也可能会购买任何旅行保险。 再一次，找到您的策略并通读细则。 请记住，您的信用卡公司可能还会提供自动旅行保险。 免赔额可能很高，而理赔限额却很低，但至少是这样。
The sad truth is that if your Mac gets stolen, there’s a good chance you won’t see it again. Hopefully you can at least claim a good chunk of its value back from an insurance policy. And if not, the next step is to check out our guide on how to save money on Apple products.
可悲的事实是，如果Mac被盗，您很有可能不会再看到它。 希望您至少可以从保险单中索回很大一部分价值。 如果没有，那么下一步就是查看我们有关如何在Apple产品上省钱的指南。
