How to locate an iPad 4th gen..... its findmyipad is switched on but its a wifi model

i bought my iPad last month and it got stolen. i want to find it. Find My iPad was switched on but till now the person has not switched on the iPad so i have not got the location till yet. it was a wifi model. can anyone suggest me a way to find it. it was very precious to me as it was gifted to me.

The WiFi location mechanism is somewhat limited.  If and when the thief powers up the unit, you will likely see an indicated location that could be as much as a quarter-mile away from the real location.  The best that you can do is to erase and lock the device so that it's useless to the thief.

  • How long does an iPad 4th gen last for not battery I mean in Years

    Hi .......ok so I got an iPad 4th Gen 16gb in New York last year (February 2013) and I was just wondering how long this will last, not in Battery life but in how long I can use it until it starts to get really slow and lagging and goes completely dead in years! I use my iPad regularly  maybe 4-5 hrs a day (average, sometimes more in a day and sometimes less) so can anyone help me how many years will I have my iPad before I will need a new one I keep my iPad in Great condition and no one uses bar me and I don't ever drop it or put anything illegal on it  so it is kept in great condition some people say that it depends on the size in GB on the iPad I have a 16GB white. Can anyone help me how long should I have my iPad for? Ohhh ya my iPad is running iOS 7.0.3 Thank You

    No.  Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer.  However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
    Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did.  New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
    At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have.  But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
    As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
    There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be.  Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

  • How to use iPad (4th gen) to edit with iMovie - but using an external source such as a USB stick or external USB hard drive

    Want to use my iPad (4th gen) to edit a movie using iMovie - easy enough if the movie file is on the iPad - but what if it's too large - can I keep the source file on a USB stick or external USB hard drive and edit from there?  How can you do this?

    You can't export any type of file using the camera connection kit, so a USB flash drive or SD card won't work.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

    How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?  It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password.  When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct.  Puzzled!

    I have another question for the community.  My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her.  I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address?  Thanks - 

  • I have a ipad 4th gen with the lightning charging port. I have realised how long it takes to charge and the poor battery life which means I can't take my ipad anywhere. Is there a case that is available that will charge my ipad? I know they are out there

    I have a ipad 4th gen with the lightning charging port. I have realised how long it takes to charge and the poor battery life which means I can't take my ipad anywhere. Is there a case that is available that will charge my ipad? I know they are out there for older iPads with the 30pin charger but I can't find one for the lighning 8pin charger.

    I don't know what you mean by "poor battery life". If your iPad is working properly you should get 9-10 hours of life.

  • How much do apple(UK) charge to replace a cracked screen on an ipad 4th gen?

    My son accidentally dropped our ipad 4th gen retina display on the kitchen tiles and the screen glass has shattered in the top right corner and there are 2 large cracks across the screen which end at the home button. The ipad is still in full working order apart from the cracked screen (I am using it now) I have booked to take it into apple next week and it is still under warranty. Just wondered if anybody has any idea on how much they will charge for the repair? Thanks

    Accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty. Here in the UK the cost for replacing the iPad 4 (it's not repaired) is £249 (from here, add £7.44 if shipping is required).

    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

    Any ideas on this ?
    Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
    If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
    It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
    Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
    I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

    Thanks so much for this post!
    I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

  • IPad 4th gen won't charge?

    I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
    Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
    I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
    So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
    I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
    I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
    both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
    but my iPad will not budge past 1%
    I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
    Does anyone have any ideas why?
    And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
    Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

    Hi Moll.x,
    If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • HT5957 I can't update to IOS 7.0.2 on my IPad 4th Gen

    Try updating it through iTunes on the computer instead of over wifi on your iPad

  • GPS on Ipad 4th Gen WiFi only

    Hello,  can you tell me if the iPad 4th Gen WiFi Only will provide GPS services sufficient to run navigation apps such as Apple Maps and Google Maps.  I am confused by some reports which state that any GPS positioning is carried out by the cellular chip - which I understand to be absent on the WiFi only model.
    I plan to use my iPhone 5 to tether to the iPad, so that I at least have internet connection through the iPhone's 3G connection, but I really want to be able to use the iPad/iPhone combination as a SatNav facility too.
    I have tried sales and they cant help - referring me to Tech Support.  Tech support seem confused and have suggested it "Probably" can, but wont confirm this in writing.
    I do not intend to buy the iPad with the possibility that this is true.  I would really like a definitive answer.
    Thanks in advance
    Alistair

    The WiFi only iPad does not have a GPS chip and does location through WiFi routers. Tethering to your iPhone will allow you to use the GPS chip on it and utilize Apple and Google Maps.
