Can you locate your iPad 2 without the find my iPhone app?
My iPad 2 doesn't have the find my iPhone app and now i've lost it. Is there any other way to locate it? Please help!!
No.
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?
The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online. You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords. -

I would like to know what is accessible on an iPad that has been stolen and Lost Mode has been enabled via the Find My iPhone App.

... but they aren't answering my questions.
[1] Did I lose the ability to track the iPad now that I've selected to Erase it?
[2] Or can I stop that since its "Pending"?
[3] Also if there is a way to access the iPad and be able to Rename it and access Camera why are they continuing to ask for my password?
[4] if they can do that what's stopping them from being able to access other features on the ipad?
It is my understanding from these documents that if it is on and connected to the internet you can track it. In there it tells how tell if it is online by the color of the dot.
Read carefully, it is all in there
I still think this person is bluffing, but what confuses me is how this person knew how to contact you (?) You must not have had any security on it at all when lost.
Likely nothing (see #3)
If it were mine, I would erase it to make an expensive paperweight out of it and call it lessons learned - that is if at this point you still can, punch the button!
I can only go by what the Apple documents have told us, as your situation seems totally unique to any I have heard. -

PLease help me us finf my iphone app.
i Have iphone5,itouch and ipad2 under my name but my id for the said gadget is my previous IF which is unable now cos i forgot the password so i decided to buy and create a new id.. But when i tried to open the find my iphone app its asking for icloud id which is already unable.
please help me to recover and open it. Anyway its all under my name..
thanksHave you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account. -
If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device
No, you can only potentially track it if you have Find My iPhone enabled on it, you can't do it via the serial number.
If this isn't hypothetical, then if your iPad has been stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. and contact your carrier. -

I lost my iPad a year ago and i just found the find my iPhone app can i use it?
i lost my ipad a year ago i left it in my job's bathroom and some kids took it but i didnt realize that until the next day. I just saw the find my iphone app but i wasnt sure if i could use it even though i never downloaded it in my ipad ?
If you didn't have MobileMe or iCloud on the iPad, no. I'm pretty sure it's a setting, so it would need to be turned on. Also, there's the chance that it's been Restored, turned off, sold for candy, etc.

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP
It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet
