How do i trace or track my lost Ipad?

how do i track my stolen Ipad

If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, wiped of its data or locked (which does the same thing as activating the screen lock), though it depends on a number of factors: the iPad is turned on, is connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service turned off or the iPad completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section.
If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Report the loss the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

TS3988 Can I track my lost ipad

Can you really track a lost or stolen Ipad from my PC?

If you had an iCloud account on it, and the find my iPad setting enabled, you might be able to.
Open a web browser and login to your iCloud account (www.iCloud.com) and see if it shows up in the location app there.
The iPad will need to be on a data network for it to be trackable - wifi or cellular does not matter, but tracking is done with an internet data connection between the device and Apple servers - no data connection and it will show as off line.
In iOS 7, find my iPad would also have enabled Activation Lock. So even if someone wipes the device, they cannot activate and use it without your AppleID and password.

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

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.

How can we track the lost iPad by Serial number or IMEI, MEID?

Hello
I lost my iPad Air WiFi CELL 128GB Silver ATT (No ATT Service) and accidentally did not turn lost my iPad and also erased my iPad and now I could not use find my iPad any more. Do we have any web site or app to track the iPad by serial number or IMEI, or MEID? Anyone please help.

Sorry to hear it but unfortunately it can't be tracked this way, you can only have At&t block service to it and submit the serials to law enforcement in case it was stolen and somebody tries to take it to a pawn shop. See Apple's support article:
If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your missing device
If you didn't turn on Find My iPhone before your device was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate your device. However, you can use these steps to help protect your data:
Change your Apple ID password. By changing your Apple ID password you can prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your missing device.
Change the passwords for other internet accounts on your device. This could include email accounts, Facebook, or Twitter.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement. Law enforcement might request the serial number of your device. Find your serial number:
On the original box or receipt
On My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) if you registered your device with your Apple ID
Report your lost or stolen device to your wireless carrier. Your carrier can disable the account, preventing phone calls, texts, and data use.
Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.

Can I track my Lost iPad

iPad2 is lost or stolen.
It won't update its position via Find my iPhone app, anywhere the history of the last few positions of it might be stored for me to see where I last had it, in case its just lost?
Thanks.

If the lost device is turned off or has no wifi connection, then you won't be able to track it. If stolen, it could have been wiped by the thief or had the find my iPhone service turned off by him/her.

Tracking your lost iPad

I recently lost my new iPad air after 2 months, (Ouch). I tried the Find my iPhone APP but did not help. The problem is that I have a lock on the screen for security purpose and it is only a WiFi system so the Find my iPhone app does not work unless it hits the internet. I registered the iPad and tried everything I could think of to find where I lost it. Two weeks later, I was talking to our nieborhood watch rep and he suggested posting an alert on the local web page for the nieborhood. Long story short, I received a caall from a person saying he had found the iPad in the street and it looked like someone had run over it. He sent me pictures of it and said he had taken it to a repair shop for repairs and to wipe the system clean and reload it.
My question is, if we are registering the iPads, why is there not a site that anyone can go to to verify a serial # of a registered item to see who owns it? It was even taken to an apple store for repairs and no one checked to see if it was registered to someone else. If this service was available, the person that found the iPad could have located me via my apple logon to let me know that he had found the iPad and what I wanted to do. At this point I don;t feel right in takng the iPad away from him since it has been wiped clean and he paid for the repairs.

The system that Apple has created does not work off serial numbers or IMEI numbers but off the setup using iCloud. That does require the unit be on and attached to the Internet. But to the other part of your post, do not send an erase signal or release the unit from your iCloud devices...that makes it free for the other person to walk away with it. Your only protection is to keep it locked to your account.
Get the device back and then remove or clean it...not before it is back in your possession.

How can i trace my lost iphone 4

how can i trace my iphone since the lost phone is offline?

The only way to find a lost iOS device is to use the Find my iPhone app or www.icloud.com. For this to work, you have to enable this feature on the lost device prior to loss. If you didn't do this, there is no way to find it. Also, if the device is turned off or "Offline", there's no way to find it. Neither Apple nor your carrier will find it for you.

If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
