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

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.

    You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

  • How can I install WebOfTrust for a local account and save the profile so that it transfers to domain accounts that log on to that specific computer?

    We are creating images through ghost server to clone onto several laptops and one of the features we need to have configured is the Web of Trust extension in Firefox. I have configured a local account on the machine and set up Web of Trust and then copied the profile image in regedit to the default profile image and saved this. WOT works for local accounts but whenever I try domain accounts, Web of Trust needs to be disabled and re-enabled.

    Try using Web of Trust support:

  • How to call a jsp file from an servlet and access the jsp file objects??

    Hi everybody
    I have an jsp file where it contains a vector object with some data and I have a servlet that needs to access this vector object . How can my servlet call for this jsp page and get the vector object. ?
    then an applet will be calling this servlet to get some other object created with the data contained within this vector object...so each time Applet ask the servlet for the object the servlet need to call for this jsp page somehow
    My main question is the communication servlet-jsp
    please if u have any clue I will appreciate it
    thanks

    Hi
    There are several ways to share objects between JSPs/Servlets.
    You can share objects by putting them in the request-in which case the objects lifetime is limited by that of the request, Another way is to store them in the session, againg the lifetime is limited by the lifetime of the session. To have objects that have to persistent over the application life-span use the servletContext to store the objects.
    Any good tutorial should help you get started. Please see the link below for a tutorial on Servlets/JSPs
    Note: Local variables in the JSP cannot be shared with other components as their scope is limited to that particular Page/Servlet.

    Good Luck!

  • 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.

  • I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud.  I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account.  How can I get what was stored on the original account?

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
    NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted.

    You cannot.  If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
    Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating?

  • How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • How do I remove the application from your iPad at the same time and with the clouds?

    Hello,
    how can I remove the application from your iPad at the same time and with the clouds?
    I know you press the app icon until it starts shaking, then press the black cross in the upper left corner. This will remove it.
    But still I will come in to the store as a bookmark Purchated I see it with the symbol of a cloud. And I would like to remove it for good. Under iOS 5.1.1 somehow I managed to do that (at least hide it). In iOS 6 I can not do that.
    I greet

    The only transition you can add this way is default cross dissolve. If the images are in the timeline, move the playhead to the beginning of the images, select them all, and drag from the timeline to the canvas to overwrite with transition.

  • Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

    Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
    Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
    Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following:  Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
    Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
    Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
    Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date.  This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.
