HT204053 how do i find my Ipad?

I recently left my Ipad in a Hertz rental car and when I called an hour later it was no where to be found.  Shocking!!!!  I heard that it is possible to track down my Ipad but really don't know much about it or how to do it.  Can someone give a brother a hand?

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.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • HT204053 how can a find my iPad if it was stolen.. but is only a wifi model

    i purchased my new iPad 3 couple weeks ago and it got stolen today with my car.. is just a wife model,, how can I locate it

    As Winston says, you have to have the Find My iPhone service turned on (on the iPad) via settings.  Just having the Find My iPhone app on the iPad will not do, that does not turn on the service.  Assuming you did turn on the service, use a computer and log into icloud.com.  From there you can access the Find My iPhone module at iCloud to track it.
    However, if it's been weeks and the "thief" is knowledgeable, it's probably been wiped and can no longer be found.

  • HT4061 How can i find my ipad with the serial number

    How can I find my iPad with serial number

    I had FindMyPhone installed and activated on MY Lost iPad (now with a new "owner") and it NEVER worked EVER!
    There is/was no such thing as FindMyiPad...ONLY FindMyPhone. It WAS installed (I dont own an iPhone) AND activated! I suspect that unless you have 4G device it is worthless. Actually I  know this for a fact!
    AND, I knew that the new "Owner" had gone online (despite FindMyPhone telling me otherwise and NEVER locking my iPad) because Dropbox on my laptop suddenly had new photos that were taken by the new "owner".
    I am now of the mind that Apple does not want us to find our lost or stolen gadgets. They make money off  us when we replace them. Do what I am going to do: BUY USED!
    So sorry, I feel your pain.

    I have a new ipad and want to restore my old..it asks for my ipad password.
      How do I find the ipad password?

    What password are you refering to? A passcode lock on the ipad itself or the password for your apple id?
    If its a pascode lock, then:
    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad

    If its your apple id, then:

  • How do I Find My Ipad?  I have it turned on in the Cloud settings.  But now what do I do?  How do I get this Find My Ipad software onto my PC computer?  How do I actually use it?  Thank you.  Linda

    I have followed the directions - and have downloaded Find My Ipad from Apple Store onto my Ipad2 and enabled the Find My Ipad in the Cloud settings.  Now what do I do?  No where does it tell me!  Not in the user guide, nor any of the help pages.  I think I need to put the Find My Ipad in the Cloud - but does this mean in the dropbox?  and if so, how do I do that?  I tried to drop and drag but it would not do that.  I would think I would need to have it on my PC Windows 7 but I cannot figure out how to download the software.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Also, the iPad User Guide is in the bookmarks in Safari on your iPad. It contains the information you're looking for ad much more?

    my i pod touch is either lost or stolen n the battery was dead when i last seen it i have my apple id n i believe i know the user name my daughter used along with the screen lock password how can i find its where abouts?

    You can't. It must be connected to the Internet in order to be tracked. And it must have been registered with Find My Phone.

  • How i can find my ipad 2

    hi
    please help me  i really need your help
    my ipad was stolen. unfortunately i didn't have "find my ipad" on it   so
    how i can find it  what i am suppose to do
    is there a way that you can find it
    note : my ipad2 is wi-fi 3G  SO i might that you can find it by serial number or SIM card or something else
    please 
    please

    Your wireless carrier might be able to help you. Technically they can tracking - presuming its powered on with the 3G on - but while they may have the ability, they may/may not have the willingness. At the very least you should let them know it's stolen so they can disable the 3G so you don't get stuck with any. Barges - presuming the thieves haven't already pulled the sim card.

  • How can I find my iPad by the serial number?

    Hi
    I've lost my iPad 1 before two years ago. I could not find it, until i know that it is possible to find it, by serial number.
    Please help me.
    Thank you.

    If you're just looking for it now, unfortunately you may not.
    The serial number, if registerd with apple, can be found in your support profile. It is also on the box that it came in.

  • HT4061 How can I find my IPad when it was stolen in Mexico? I havent activted ICloud or Find My IPad??

    Hi my IPad was stolen today from my RV in Mexico. I havent activated ICloud or Find My Ipad. I am trying to report it stolen on line, but have not been able to do much yet. I have emailed to my home in Canada, asking people to look for my serial numbers.
    Hi, i have just had my IPad stolen, last night. I am in Mexico, and didnt have my access password activated.  I dont have my  serial numbers yet, tho I am having people at home in Canada look for them. Unfortunately I did not set up ICloud, or Find My IPad on my devise. I don't have any other computer or devise. I am using my friends Apple computer now.
    So some questions...
    if I send you my Apple Id, and my passoword, can you do anything to help me...  find my IPad?..., or lock it?... or at least report it stolen?
    Would setting up I Cloud on my friends computer be of assistance at this late date.??
    Thank you so much
    Do you have another other suggestions?

    Apple ID on my Ipad: [email protected]

    You are out of luck, then. You cannot track it, Apple cannot help you (btw, this is not Apple here.) You can't set up Find My Phone after the iPad is gone.
    Notify the police. Change all your passwords. Buy a new iPad.
    Perhaps your insurance will cover the loss for you, so speak with your insurance agent.
