HT1689 How do I report stolen my iPad(s) to Apple?
My wife and I each received an iPad 2 for 2011 Christmas. Yesterday, they were stolen.
How do I report serial numbers and potentially flag these devices to Apple in an effort to track them?
And for those potential questions, yes, both were activated with the Find my iPhone/iPad feature.
However, they are wifi models, and as long as they are not connected to a WiFi network, they can go in and disable the Find my iPad feature in settings which essentially makes tracking the device impossible.
I wish Tim Cook and the great minds at Apple could come up with a steadfast, foolproof way of finding/tracking stolen items without the ability for the criminals to deactivate this feature.

HT1688 How do I report stolen iPhone and what will Apple do about this?
What will Apple do if someone else connects to iTunes with a stolen iPhone
"iTunes is a service too."
itunes is an online store. You would have them deny service? Really? This would be an invitation to countless problems.
as for cars registration gets checked when
1. stopped by police
2. when getting inspection sticker."
1) If a thief is caught and they haave an ipod, they will check to see if the serial number is reported stolen ( to the police - not APPLE). You should report therft ot the police not the make of each iten that is stolen.
2) You think we should have to have anual inpections for out ipods/iphones? Really?
None of this is done through Ford, Checy or any other car maker.
Unless you are advocating licensing and registering your iphone with the govenrment, then you are not comparing like issues at all. -

How do I send messages from iPad to non apple devices?
How do I send messages from iPad to non apple devices?
Found a good article explaning why the iPad doesn't send texts over iMessage the way you would think. Turns out that the iPad isn't a phone and doesn't use 3G or Wifi the same way a phone would so you can't really send texts from iMessage on your iPad the same way you can on your iPhone.

How to stream photo's from Ipad 2 to Apple TV 1. The Apple TV don't recognize I-pad
How to stream photo's from Ipad 2 to Apple TV 1. The Apple TV don't recognize I-pad
You can't.
AppleTV 1 does not support Airplay only Airtunes for audio.
There will be no upgrade. It's Apple's way - they want you to upgrade to newer hardware all the time.

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 I report a defective iPad app?
How can I report a defective app. It worked for months, but now it does not. I have deleted the ap and then downloaded the ap again but the ap still does not work. So I thought I would report it, but how?
You should contact the application developer regarding this matter. You should be able to find a link to the developer's support page on application prouct page in the App Store, beneath the app's description.

How do I report an App that is not working and the seller has not fixed the problem yet is continuing to sell it? People are being ripped off and Apple does not seem to care.
sophiesheu wrote:
I recently purchased a scam app (GPS map Virgin Islands) by the Kaart Data LLC. I first emailed the developers and got a quick response: "we are sorry that you don't like the app, but we don't do refund". I went to the "Report a Problem" link from Apple like King_Penguinsuggested, and got a response from Apple saying they will refund the whole amount and start an investigation on that app. So it definitely worthes a try.
Glad you got some resolution on that. I'm not familier with the app you had issues with, but the one the OP was questioning is very highly regarded and widely sold. Odds are the issue was with his iPad and he never responed to inquiries about troubleshooting (I suspect he had not tried much of anything). -

How can i watch video on IPAD screen with Apple TV?
i have apple tv and itune libary on the same network.
i am wondering if i can watch movies stored in the libary on the ipad screen without turning on the tv or the computer. i have no problem watch the movies on TV thru apple tv. thanks.If your computer is turned off, the iTunes library is no longer available to the iPad or the Apple TV. You can connect the iPad to the computer and use iTunes to sync your library to the iPad; this copies your music and movies to the iPad, and you can play them whenever and wherever you wish.
If your iPad does not have enough memory to store all your movies, use the "Selected movies only" option and check off the movies you want to copy; the rest will not be copied. -
HT1689 how do i report this phone stolen
my i4 was stolen and i just want to know if someone changes the sim card and tries to use it is there a way that i can tell if this happons?
No, there is no way to know what a thief does with your phone. Hopefully you had a passcode lock on the phone. If you didn't all of your personal information is now available to the thief.

HT1689 How to track my stolen ipad?
I have box of ipad still, did not download find my iPhone app, can I track it with serial number?
So I called apple and the guy was more than helpfull. Basically learn from my experience, when u have an I-device with iCloud, turn it on! Even though I didn't install the app find my iPhone, I could still install and find it through iCloud.com. Since I didn't, I'm SOL. Got the ipad free through work, but still am furious and disappointed. Tracking through serial number is possible, but not for just anyone and it involves many hoops to jump through, and a fee. If I had paid for this ipad I probably would pursue that route, but for now it's lesson learned!

Someone has stolen my friend's app wholesale (code, graphics, even the name) and is now selling it on the iTunes store, along with the android store.
I also think the same 'developer' may have done this to other people and would like to flag it to apple as I don't think they would be happy if small developers are being ripped off like this.
My friend has full development notes, etc. The info he stored online was broken into one day, and registered with both the Android and Apple stores a few days later. Is there anything I can do about this?
Any help is very much appreciated!Email:
