How to return a lost ipad?

I found an ipad at the airport on thursday and i'm having a tough time returning it.
I contacted the airline and they were no help, and I called Apple and they said
there's nothing they can do to help. Any suggestions?

Did you contact airport police?

If the thief was able to turn off Find My iPhone, then your password must have been easily guessable (or the thief knows you) and you will not be able to find your iPhone. Otherwise, click the "Find My iPhone Overview" from the above article for more information.

How doyou deactivate a lost ipad

How do you deactivate a lost 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 or deactivate 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.

How to "find my lost ipad"

I'm a teacher who had an ipad issued by my district. I had purchased and downloaded hundreds of dollars of apps to help my students and to use within my teaching. I have lost my ipad for weeks now:) I had left it at school and have not been able to find it. I regret not telling our IT dept. right away but was sure I simply "hid" it in my room and with the craziness of the first quarter of school, had forgotten where I hid it. After two weeks of tearing my room upside down, I still cant find it. If it were stolen (a scenario) I now consider), could I retrieve it at this point or at least find a location? The ipad was registered and I always was logged in to my i-cloud account. Help...

How to Restore a Lost iPad (iPhone) without Wiping !!

This is not question. This is a solution.
I lost my iPad, it was found, and I thought it would be wiped as soon as I turned it on and it found iTunes.
But here's what I found, contrary to the what the 'Genius Desk' told me at the Apple store.
If you go out to iTunes with another device, log in, and delete the 'found' device from the 'Find My Phone' list, BEFORE power up of the lost device, it should work without being wiped. Typically, you have your iPad setup for only your own routers, so don't power it up in their presence. And just to be safe, don't power up near 'public' WiFi either. Until you get into 'Settings' and turn off WiFi on the lost iPad (or iPhone), you are in jeopardy of it being auto wiped.
And as Paul Harvey said: "And now... the rest of the story." (You can skip the next part if you are an impertinent person with no regard for a classic tale.)
I lost my iPad 3 at the Denver airport in December's mad rush. My fault, nobody else's; I was furious with myself.
I submitted my claim at the airport lost and found, believing I would never see it again. (BTW, save yourself the trouble and use their online site.)
A friend of mine told me about 'Find My Phone', which also works for iPads. We logged onto iTunes, on his iPhone, with my password, and I was able see the name I had given my lost iPad. I told 'Find My Phone' to wipe my iPad and display my cell phone number on the screen, just in case someone "honest" found my iPad. I knew I had locked my iPad but I decided this was safest. They can always wipe it, but iTunes will never allow it's use, due to the original owner's serial number on file. It becomes a 'brick'.
Segue, 2 months later.
I bought a new Air 2 because I need an iPad to run ForeFlight, a pilot program for navigation in small aircraft. One week later, I get an email from Apple, telling me to contact law enforcement at the airport (Lost and Found), and they even gave me the contact phone number to call. Sure enough, the airport found my iPad. The way I figure it, someone turned it in probably the day I lost it, and it took 2 months for Denver Airport to process the "mountains" of stuff they have turned in by travelers over the holidays. I was just happy I have it back. I took it directly to the Apple store to see if they could turn off the 'wiping' procedure and restore my old iPad. Nope! No can do! Once you tell it to wipe, through "Find My Phone", it's a done deal. Then I remembered something...
I had not set up Find My Phone on my old iPad, at least as far as I could remember. Maybe, just maybe, there was a way around this. Well... I found it.
I was told that if my iPad connected to WiFi, even it it were publicly open, it would connect to iTunes and automatically start the wiping process. Well, maybe.
Fortunately for me, Denver Airport Lost and Found had powered up my iPad, saw that it was passworded, hit the off button (so they thought) and instantly called Apple with the serial number on the back. That is what prompted Apple to email me. Thank you Apple! Actually, they had put it to sleep, not turning it OFF. Over 2 months, the battery went dead, a good thing.
When I got it home, I began to think about the power up sequence. This iPad had been setup to instantly connect to my home router. If I charged it, and it connected, I feared it might started wiping, so I devised a plan. Worst came to worst, it would wipe and I'd start over. Here's what actually happened.
I live far enough from town, that only a few WiFi routers exist nearby, and they are all encrypted. So, I turned off my router and let my iPad charge, just in case it tried to connect when it had enough charge to come out of deep sleep. Within about an hour, it was up and running again. I went into the settings and turned off the WiFi. Then, I turned my router back on. This allowed me to use my new Air2 to go out to iTunes and list all devices on Find My Phone. Lo, and behold, there was a list with my old iPad and my new Air2. I removed the old iPad from the list. Voila! It was gone! Just to be sure, I copied any configuration I wanted onto my new iPad from my old iPad, manually. (This was more of a science experiment, so I was motivated to see if this worked. It's a geek thing.) When I was finished and ready, I re-enabled the WiFi on the old iPad. Sure enough, it connected instantly to my router, and nothing happened. The only thing it needed was 138 email updates, a few other things, and of course, an iOS update, performing flawlessly. My old iPad was back to normal. No wipe and just like I left it. There ya have it. A way out.
BTW, when I walked into the Apple store in Boulder, Colorado, they were all amazed that the Apple process had worked and I got my iPad back. Remember, I had been in there a week earlier and bought a new one, telling them my woes. That's when they told me it would be wiped, if ever found.
And what will I do with two iPads? You guessed, sweetie wumpums gets the other one.

Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 5 very closely.

How do I retrieve lost iPad GarageBand audio tracks?

Help! I was working on a song in Garageband on my iPad Mini-Retina when suddenly all of the tracks audio disappeared. The tracks are still there in rows down GB, but the loops with the actual audio are not there anymore. It also shows only a 2 measure length. At the time this happened, I was recording a new track. When I hit stop and went back to the loop browser, everything was gone. I do not have these backed up to iCloud because I do not currently have internet access at my new apartment. I have spent days and numerous hours on this project and was over the moon with how it was turning out. Please help!!

The best thing you can do is change all your passwords, Apple ID password, e-mail password, everything. Minimize the damage the thief/finder can do and protect your data.

Find a lost Ipad

Good morning, I would like to know information about how to find a lost iPad, and the iPhone look the same this off, I know that there is a way to find through the wi-fi?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*
