ICloud log in away from home

Hi
If I am away from home and my iPad is stolen and I want to log into iCloud to block data etc on the stolen iPad is it possible to log in on a computer that does not have iCloud? i.e. internet cafe etc etc
Maybe this sounds a daft question - sorry. - but if you have to find someone with iCloud on their computer it does not exactly make the 'find my iPad'function very useful.

Thanks Roger - I had tried before to find iCloud via goolge etc but all I was offered was to download it.  Many thanks
Oh dear - I meant to add the 'solved my problem' to your message instead of 'helped me'but seem to have added to to my own reply - sorry

  • Can I use iCloud away from home on my iPhone5s?

    I thought that it worked that way, but I seem to be mistaken.  I can use it when on the same block as my home, but not otherwise.  When I am near home, it only allows me to play a few songs from a couple of artists.  Is it supposed to work that way and if not, how do I correct it?  I don't know if it affects anything, but I have Verizon and the standard 5GB cloud plan (but am willing to upgrade if it will help my listening coverage).  I've checked several similar questions but have yet to find anything that works.  This is a big annoyance for me because I wanted to listen to my songs away from home, but my 16GB phone won't hold all 1400 songs (which I'm told is another problem all it's own, but that's another question entirely).

    I've made calls from areas where I can't listen.  Is there some kind of setting I've effed up?

  • Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

    I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
    However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
    At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing.  I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
    Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

    I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes  - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
    What are my options?

    I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
    If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook?  I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device.  IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
    Can someone clarify this for me?
    Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
    Many thanks!

  • Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?

    Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?
    What I currently have:
    Late-2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 (OSX Mavericks 10.9.5)
    2.5ghz Intel i7 quad-core
    16gb RAM, 1024gb SSD raid-0 (internal)
    Connecting to the internet through:
    Apple Time Capsule 2TB (via ethernet)
    +
    Time Warner Cable "Ultimate 100" (top speed)
    I would basically like to be able to have my MacBook Pro on *at home* and connected to the internet via ethernet to the Apple Time Capsule.. and then be able to somehow connect and log in to my MacBook Pro, either through another computer or preferably, my iPhone 5s..
    Mostly just interested in having accessibility to be able to make downloads, such as magnet links, while away from the computer.. and basically be able to come home to mostly finished or complete downloads.. Basically like how you can DVR/TiVo things from your iPhone and have it sync with your DVR/TiVo while away from home..
    Is this possible? Thank you!!

    Yes you can do this.
    I would suggest you start with TeamViewer.com (free for personal use).
    You will need to install TeamViewer on your Mac AND your iPhone.
    The Mac version will need to be configured for unattended remote access.  You should practice before you leave the home.
    There are other iPhone apps that can remotely access a Mac.  A lot depends on whether they can get past the home NAT router.  Be careful of apps that provide VNC access, but do not provide a way to get past the home router.  If you try one of these, make sure you test it away from your home WiFi network.

  • How do I get my emails when I am away from home .

    When I use another computer when away from home how do I access my emails.

    Use your email providers webmail page. Go there using an Internet browser and log into your email account.
    Thunderbird has nothing to do with this.

  • Unable to connect to Wi-Fi away from home

    My iPhone 5 refuses to connect to any Wi-Fi network while I'm away from home.  I'm able to connect to and use my home Wi-Fi network without any problems. However, when I'm at Starbucks, traveling, work, etc., I'm unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network.  I've taken the following troubleshooting steps without success:
    1)  Initially, I reset network settings thinking this would be a quick fix.  No success.
    2)  I then deleted all backups on iCloud (to rule out a corrupt backup being the cause, performed a new backup to iCloud, and then performed a deep restore to iOS 7.1.1 via iTunes recovery mode.
    I'm still unable to connect to any Wi-Fi network besides my home network.  Any advice on how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    I'm able to see the available networks, but after selecting the appropriate network, my iPhone fails to connect.  I read somewhere that toggling Airplane mode may fix the problem I'm having.  I have since tried that to no avail.

  • Away from home

    I am away from home & would like to access my account & library. when i sign in, nothing comes up. what am i doing wrong?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You cannot access your songs anywhere except for where they are stored at, your home computer. Logging in just allows you to access your account info and any money stored in the account.

  • Getting email away from home

    How do I get my .mac email away from home on my son's pc-based laptop? Thx.

    Go to http:mail.mac.com/yourusername and log in with your .Mac password.
    From here you should be able to read your mails.
    Next time you're back home and login with Mail, your read messages will still download (unless you've deleted them of course)

  • HT2518 If I pickup a new Mac away from home?

    Hello Everyone!
    I am picking up a new Macbook Air away from home.
    How can I start it up and migrate all my files from iCloud without having to connect one computer to the home unit?
    Thanks!

    No. iCloud will only contain a maximum of 5GB of data, and will otherwise contain some settings and details like saved passwords, bookmarks, email, etc. To fully migrate your account (music, documents, movies) system settings, and installed applications, you will need direct access to the computer you are migrating from, be it via network (Ethernet or WiFi) or directly through a Firewire or Thunderbolt connection.

  • TS1398 How do I connect to the internet with my iphone when away from home

    I have an iphone 3GS which was fine , was able to connect to the internet away from home when at uni, at appointments. Since software update to IOS 6.0, can now only connect to internet wirelessly when at home-as soon as leave the house it disconnects. Is this just because of the software update? Have tried adjusting settings but got nowhere. Thank you

    When your wifi is off.  Do you see your carrier name at the top left with either 3G/4G.  If not you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    or settings - cellular - cellular data - ON
    if those two suggestion doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

  • Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

    Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else?  I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

    No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

  • Wifi works at home but not when away from home

    My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong?  I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

    You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
    Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

  • How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

    I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
    My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
    I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
    People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
    repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
    home?
    Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?
    Chris

    As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
    Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.
