How to detect missing ipad?

Hi... My ipad has been stolen.  How do I detect my missing ipad?

If you set up Find My iPad/MobileMe on it before it was stolen then you can use that to potentially locate it - though it will need to be connected to a network and not have already been wiped. If you didn't set up Find My iPad before it was stolen then unfortunately it's too late.

  • HOW TO FIND MISSING IPAD

    What are ways to find a missing or stolen ipad?

    In order for a lost iPad to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPad' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible. You can't use the serial number, or IMEI number (on iPads with a cellular connection) to locate an iPad: the former is only useful to identify it as yours if it turns up, and the latter can be used by most service providers to block it, rendering it useless and preventing anyone from spending your credit.

  • How to detect missing xml node before using countNodes?

    Below is my xml sample. Right now I use countNodes to count # of <Book> returned.
    <ListOfBook>
    <Book>A</Book>
    <Book>B</Book>
    <Book>C</Book>
    </ListOfBook>
    When there's no data, I got
    </ListOfBook>
    My countNodes() failed and generated errors. How do I avoid this? Can I detect if <Book> exists first before doing countNodes() and if so how?
    I'm using SOA 11.1.1.2
    Thanks

    Actualy the simplest way to be certain your <ListOfBook> is empty is to check the first element:
    If $ListOfBook/Book[1] != ''
    If there aqre no Books - nothing happens.
    About count nodes - it works. Pb=robably you have a mistake in countNodes definition (you can paste it here for commenting)

  • Upgraded iPad 2 to iOS6 - asking me to connect to iTunes - when I do, my Mac is saying 'detected an iPad in recovery mode but need to upgrade iTunes to a newer version (our Mac too old to upgrade). How do I restore iPad so I can use it again?

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS6 following a prompt from the application icon. 
    Once that was complete, my iPad asked me to connect to iTunes which I did.  iTunes then told me that it detected an iPad/iPod in recovery mode and I needed to have a newer version of iTunes to restore.
    I've tried before to upgrade to a new version of iTunes but was advised my Mac was unable to support this due to the Mac's age and old operating system.
    How, therefore, do I get back onto using my iPad 'cos at the moment, all I get when I switch it on is the 'connect to iTunes' symbols.
    Help please, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

  • I tried to restored my iPad1's iOS5 to factory setting. There are error messages. Now my iTunes could not detect my iPad anymore. How can I proceed from here?

    Hi All,
    I have problems with iOS5 installed on my iPad1.
    After successfully installing the new iOS5, my iPad1 apps are jumbled up with my wife's apps.  Some of my paid apps are missing.
    So, i tried to restore to factory default.  Now, my iTunes could not detect my iPad, and my iPad only shows the picture "to connect iPad to iTunes".
    I restarted my iMac and checked that all softwares are up to date.
    Please advise.
    Many thanks.

    If you restored from a backup, you simply restored the corrupt files again.
    You could find the corrupt file through a slow process of eliminating apps and data - removing all content - and then syncing content back again - slowly adding apps back on - until the problem surfaces again - and the you could pin down the last apps or apps that you just added as being the problem apps/files. You may find the corrupt file - and you may not.
    Your backups can be deleted by going to iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. You will see your backups/backups in that window. Click on the backup and then click on delete backup - if that is what you really want to do.

  • The function AirDrop on my Mac BookAir seems not to work, not detect my iPad. How to fix this?

    The function AirDrop on my Mac BookAir seems not to work, not detect my iPad. How to fix this?

    AirDrop on iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod touches) can only AirDrop things with other iOS devices. AirDrop on Mac can only AirDrop things with other Macs.
    I hope this solves your question.

  • How safari detects and pops up 'scan credit card' link in keyboard ios 8.1?

    I want to check whether is there a way to disable it?

    An update.  Just after my first post I cleared history yet again, restarted yet again and started watching what I got when I tried to use the history to skip back a few pages.  Just now I discovered it was stuck on pages I visited at least 24 hours ago.  This is pure untested garbage, and I say that from the perspective of a 45 year IT career.
    I Miss Steve - and, yes, my iPad decided to capitalize that m all by itself...

  • IPad abruptly quit, started playing Gaga's Scheibe song and will not now show up in "Devices" on iTunes.  Keeps telling me it detects an iPad in Recovery mode. Cannot get past that.  Help!

    How do I recover the data on my iPad2?  It abruptly quit while I was shutting down and started playing Gaga's Scheibe from "Born this Way" -- it was not coming from My Music or iTunes.  I pressed both home key and side button to get it to stop and plugged it in to recharge.  The USB connector to iTures screen showed up and that's as far as I can go.  Had an appointment at the "genius bar" this morning and all they tell me is that they can "restore" which will not save any info I have.  The last backup I did was April 2013 (I know, very stupid of me).  iTunes does not recognize the device.  It's all greyed out and I get a window that says iTunes detected an iPad in Recovery mode.  That's as far as I can get.  I really don't want to lose any data.  Please help me.  Thank you.  Nancy

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

  • HT1212 how to unlock my iPad???

    how to unlock my ipad

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    You may need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Missing iPad

    Missing: iPad (first generation3G and WifI 64G), March 16 2011 on flight 1560 from Dallas to Newark,black case. My iPad was in airplane mode when I closed it and put it in my back pack upon arriving to Newark. Somewhere between disembarking plane and getting on tram, it disappeared from my backpack. I tried the Find function but since I didn't have a chance to take it out of airplane mode....no good. I finally cancelled data service today because I was hoping it would be returned. Lost and Founds and airline at both airports have my info but nothing. I am putting this out there just in case someone found it and thinks to look here.Reward if found.
    BTW: since it is in airplane mode and password protected, no one can get in, right?

    Leaving it in airplane mode really makes no more difference than, say, leaving it OFF before it goes missing. The Fine Me app doesn't work unless and until the u it pops up on the net somewhere, always assuming that the feature had been turned on in Settings.
    How secure it is will, of course, depend mostly on what you mean by "password protected", on how strong the password is, how good the new owner is at getting around that sort of thing, and etc. My own expectation would have been that at some point that goombah's going to figure out how to get out of Airplane and to start trying to use the iPad online and, and at point, the app can go to work.

  • HT5467 missing ipad

    To Whom it May Concern:
         My name is Michelle. I have a basic question. My ipad recently came up missing on January 22, 2013. Its been a major issue because i am so attached to it. I carry it around in my purse and put it to great use. I was wondering if there was a way to track its location with GPS, or possibly see its where-abouts via the internet. I know there has been one purchase made on my account that wasn't me on January 28, 2013 for $1.00. I never setup the find my ipad app or went through the setup process however i was thinking maybe there was a way to track it by its serial number? Ive seen the police do it. If theres any information you could help me with concerning this isssue i would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank You,
    Sincerely,
    Michelle

    Unless you activated Find My iPad/Phone, there's no way.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.
