HT4890 My ipad was stolen. How can I activate the location device using my computer ?

My ipad was stolen today.
How can I switch on the location device from a remote location such as my computer, to help me locate where it is ?
Im also trying to view my 'Notes' which I made on the ipad, but I cant get to them online.
Ive locked it from my computer - what does this mean ?
Can the person that stole it still turn it on with no apps or programs working ?
What if he guesses the 4 digit passcode which I created, can I change it ?
Any help would be appreciated.

You can only locate your device if Find my iPhone was set up prior to the device being stolen.

  • HT1349 My Ipad was stolen, How can I get the serial Number from Apple. It was registered with them

    I had  2 Ipads, a mac book pro and a Mac Air stolen 2 weeks ago
    I am trying to locate one of the serial numbers, but cant find the last box.  Can I get the serial number from Apple. It was registered and now it is not showing up as one of my products.
    Thanks

    The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two,  device connectivity and device sync.  run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

    If you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen, and if it is still turned on and connected to the internet with Find My iPad enabled, you can do this by going to icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • My iphone was stolen, how can I download the photos from icloud to my pc?

    Hi,
    After my iphone got stolen last saturday I've tried to download the photos from the icloud to my pc and it didn't work.
    What can I do to gat the photos and my whatsupp backup?

    You cannot access Photo Stream from iCloud.com.
    Photo Stream is a sync tool, not a backup solution.
    You can get the last 30 days of photos from your Photo Stream by installing and signing into iCloud Contol Panel.
    To get your Whatsapp and Camera Roll data you will need to restore it from your backup to another iOS device.

  • How can I send the Location data to my computer via USB?

    I would like to use my iPhone 4 as if it were an incar GPS hooked up to my laptop and receive the current coordinates and perhaps the raw data from the compass accelerometer and orientation-feature. I don't want anything fancy in terms of the user interface. I just want a logfile with something  similar to the following:
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    Header 4
    Header 5
    Header 6
    Header 7
    Header 8
    Date & Time Stamp
    x coordinates
    y coordinates
    z coordinates
    orientation/inclination
    accelerometer
    compass heading
    misc
    with as many rows as is needed or limited by the maximum file size of the OS or HDD format.
    I want to customize the sampling rate say from 0.5 hertz to 10 hertz in other words one entry every two seconds up to 10 entries per second. I would like to post-process this information in mathematica or matlab.

    I found the app that I'm looking for it's called sensor kinetics pro and the link is

  • My Ipad was stolen - how do I get my serial number so I can lock it.

    My Ipad was stolen, how do I get my serial number so I can lock it?

    The serial number will be located in the box the device came in.
    However, having the serial number will not help you lock it.
    The only way to lock it would have been if you set up Find My iPad on iCloud.com and the iPad.
    you could then go to iCloud.com and lock it from the "Find my iPhone" section of the website.

    If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

    It's really disappointing as a newly converted Apple customer who has already had his iPad stolen, that Apple just sits back and let's this happen. 
    I've viewed a number of posts regarding stolen iPads.  Yes, I did have the "find my iPad" enabled.  That's how I knew when the iPad was gone for good.  It's a useless function in the case of theft because the thieves know how to hack into your iPad.  It disappeared from my list of devices in the "find my iPad" utility that very same day. 
    Apple loves the fact that their devices get stolen all the time!  That way they sell more of them.  Theft could easily be significantly reduced if Apple chose to give users a means to report stolen devices on the Apple site.  They choose not to do this.  If the black market for Apple devices was limited to hackers who know they have a stolen device, the items wouldn't be such a hot commodity!  Apple knows this... I guess they want to get their devices into as many households as they can.... Legally or not. 
    So for all you hard working folks out there, find a way to make sure your Apple products are secure because if they get stolen, you're out of luck.  Apple refuses to help when they could easily do so.

    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.

    Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.

    Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.
