Can GPS locate a stolen phone or i-pad

Can GPS locate a stolen I-phone or stolen I-pad or must I wait until they are turned on and why is it showing up in I-cloud that I have no devices?

Because as soon as the device is turned on it shows up on iCloud.
When your device is registered and Find my iPhone is activated, The device will show up in iCloud. If it’s off, it’ll show up as being offline BUT it has a checkbox to inform you when it comes online. If you check this box, when the device is turned on you’ll be sent an email that the device has been found and will show up on the map.
And they have to turn it on to try to get past the pass code first and then the password to turn Find my iPhone off. Both are difficult and the device will be broadcasting its location the entire time.

    How can I locate a stolen i phone without icloud downloaded

    iCloud is not downloaded... there is nothing to download.
    Was Find My iPhone enabled prior to the device being lost?  If it was not, there is no way to track the device.

  • Can i locate a stolen ipod on the internet?

    can i locate a stolen ipod via the internet?
    hello?

    Only if you had set up FindMyiPod prior to losing it.  If you did, you might be able to locate it via iCloud.  Browse out to https://www.icloud.com/ and log in with your Apple ID and choose Find My IPhone.
    Keep in mind that in order to locate it via Find My IPhone, the device needs to be connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network, and must not have been restored by anybody who might have found it.
    See this article for more information.

    How can I locate a stolen iPad?

    Go to www.icloud.com, sign in, open "Find My iPhone" and then try to locate your device. (Of course it is necessary that your stolen device is connected to a network/wifi and that you set up "Find My iPhone" before it got stolen)

  • TS4006 how can i locate a STOLEN ipod immediantly ?

    How can i LOCATE a STOLEN ipod ?

    It can only be located if you enabled Find My iPod on it before it was stolen.  It also would have to have be turned on with connection to the internet and still have your iCloud settings intact in order for it to be tracked.  (Unfortunately, criminals often restore them as new devices so they cannot be tracked.)
    If you enabled this before it was stolen, you can try going to icloud.com on your computer to track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

  • Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

    Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

    No. Apple does not locate stolen iPhones. Report the theft to your wireless
    provider and local law enforcement. Change your passwords.
    Did you not have Find My iPhone activated? If yes, go to iCloud.com and
    log into your account. If your iPhone is powered on and has internet connectivity,
    you will be able to see its location; otherwise, you have to search for it
    physically.

  • Can i use my i phone and i pad chargers when in a foreign country with 220 volt service without using a voltage converter?

    Can I use my i phone and i pad chargers in China where the voltage is 220 volts? I realize that I will need a plug adaptor, but the question is do I need a voltage converter?

    You should read the fine print on your charger.  The one I got with my iPad 4 (12 watt) says "Input: 100-240V".  So it should work with 220V with another adaptor.  The iPhone charger does not allow other adaptors but can use an iPad charger with an iPhone.

  • HT4759 can i locate my stolen iphone using icloud?

    hi guys..pls help me..my iphone4 was taken last night.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • My iPhone 3GS was stolen today while I was grocery shopping. How can I locate where my phone is?

    My iPhone 3GS was stolen today. Can anyone help me figure out how to locate where my iPhone has been taken to? Some Low Life stole it while I was grocery shopping. I need that phone. I don't have a Contract phone, just a Gov't Free phone number/minutes. Please help me someone.

    Thank You roaminggnome, I don't think I turned Find My Phone app on on my phone, but I did turn it on on my laptop. I deleted my contacts list and Hope that Iit somehow deleted my contacts list on my phone. Also, I turned on Find My Phone on my laptop and it says my phone is turned off. So I think that whoever stole my phone took out my Sim Card and replaced it with theirs or that they sold my phone for Crack. I hope my phone hasn't been restored. Ty for your response Roaming. God Bless You ,, Tinynawlinswoman6
