Can you unlock an apple device on icloud lock and reported stolen be unlock?

My Ipad was stolen and I icloud locked it right away, when I reported lost/stolen on icloud, I was able to track it down for about 30 minutes, but then I guess the person who had it turned it off, my question is, if the device is locked with Icloud, can anyone unlock it, and if it is not possible to unlock it, what is the use of having locked right?

You can use your Apple ID for up to ten devices, up to five of which can be computers.

HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

Can you share one apple id between mutiple devices ?

can you share one apple id between mutiple devices ?

As far as i know, yes. What devices are you using, and try iCloud depending on your device type.

You bought a brick.

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

I don't believe you can. The usual model for iOS app distribution is for each device to have a unique Apple ID and for apps to be acquired separately, either via codes from the Volume Purchase Program or individual purchase through the iTunes Store. The licensing from the iTunes Store doesn't allow an app to be installed on more than one device unless all the devices are being used by a single person, so you legally cannot install one app on multiple corporate devices in the circumstances most businesses use.

HT4847 If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?

If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices??? Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud? So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts? One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up. The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?

My three year old was playing with her sisters IPOD and somehow figured out how to lock it. Now it is locked and noone knows the unlock code, Is there a way to master reset/wipe the unit?

Gretchen,
What iPod model does she own? If it's a Nano, simply connect it to iTunes and restore it.
If it's an iPod touch, you will need to connect to iTunes in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

HT204053 can you have 2 apple ids under one account

Our family has several apple devices. Our phones and computers use icloud to coordinate calendars. However we do not want to receive each others imessages and such. With several iphones on imessage and icloud and under the same id this has recently become an issue. How do we stop it from happening but stay coordinated with itunes and calendars?

Each user should have their own Apple ID for an icloud account. You can defined shared calendars that all family members can access and edit.

Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud. Is this possible?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

How do you change your Apple ID for icloud?

I have had one email address as my Apple ID for App store, itunes and icloud for all my devices (MacBook pro, iMac, iPhone4 and iPad2). Recently I changed nettwork/internett operators and now I have big problems with my icloud. My old email address and password has been shut down, and I had to create a new adress and password. I successfully change my Apple ID and password for itunes and App store, but I can't change my Apple ID for icloud. I am told that if I want to close down my icloud account on my MacBook Pro data will be lost. (I have stored my documents on icloud too) I keep getting a popup on my screen saying there is a problem with my Apple ID (the old email address) and that I should fill in my password. If I fill in the password for this icloud ID (also my old Apple ID for App store and itunes, I keep getting the message that it is invalid. How do I get into icloud to manage and edit the Apple ID for icloud so that it works on my mac and all the other devices I have?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't change your ID if it's a me/mac address, otherwise;
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

How can you change your Apple ID to a new email address?

My old email was deleted and I used this as my Apple ID. I now have a new one and can't change my Apple ID on my phone and iPad, (Under 'icloud' in settings). However I have been able to change it in iTunes & App Store.
I also tried deleting the account and re doing it in my new one but it asks for the password due to find iPhone being on, and it won't do it. (I remember my old password)
Please help!
It's very frustrating and keeps wanting me to sign in.
Thanks

1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID? If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account. If it doesn't work, try #2.
2) If you don't have access to your old email account. Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes. DON'T sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
Hope this helps! Cheers!
