How do I unlock a locked apple remotely?

I lost my iPad and was finding its location through iCloud. I chose to lock it and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but now I can't locate it anymore.
Thanks for your help!

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPad should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    How can I unlock the lock screen on the iPad?

    You do realize, of course, that there is an extra charge for a iPadsicle?
    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • How do I unlock country lock?

    I just moved to South Korea and I have an iPhone 4S. My contract with Verizon has expired and I believe cancelled. Am I able to use my iphone? How do I unlock the country lock on the phone?
    Thanks!

    The sim card slot/GSM portion of your phone should not be locked.  From iPhone 4s upwards on the Verizon phone, the gsm portion of the phone should be unlocked out of the box so you should be able to use your phone with a local South Korean gsm carrier, just not cdma any longer.
    If it is not, then you'll need to contact Verizon directly to get them to unlock it.

    As I pointed, and esp. with an SSD, leave the home library on t he boot drive works great.
    The sidebar can have whatever you want, maybe not the default pretty icon for the default folders, but folders, hdd etc that you drag onto the sidebar. Folders, not files.

    To successfully relocate your operating system, user accounts and data from one storage device to another, meet the following conditions: 
    The destination storage device (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer.  Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
    Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

  • How to use menu button on apple remote with mac mini

    I purchased a late 2012 mac mini and the silver remote. The remote automatically opens iTunes, plays and pauses songs, adjust the volume, and skips forwards or backwards just fine. I had no trouble linking it the the Mac Mini either. So we have established it is working and comunicating fine with my Mac. My question is: what the heck is the "menu" botton for and can I use it with my Mac Mini? I'm using OS X 10.9.2.

    The Menu button does nothing

    Uh, did you guys even look at A Brody's link? The battery is removeable.
    Buy a new battery for the remote. It takes a CR2032 battery that can be found at plenty of drug stores and electronics/camera shops.

  • How to disable Airport Status using Apple Remote Desktop?

    I am in a school and students have began using the "Create Network" item in the Airport Status menu to send inappropriate messages to each other. I can uncheck the "Show Airport Status in menubar" which will eliminate this but I'd rather not have to go around to 200 computers. Is there a Unix command that I can send in ARD that will disable this menu from even showing up? Thanks.

    I see that you are also using AD and OD together. You can use OD to push out a computer MCX preference, that will disable the student's ability to do just what you want.
    Select the computer list, click preferences at the top, choose Network, Sharing & Interfaces, set it to Always and check Disable Internet Sharing.
    It works well.
    I know this is not what you asked for, but hopefully it solves your problem.
