HT4061 iPad stolen - how do I wipe personal text messages out? Synced with my apple account and cell number but not showing in iCloud.

My iPad was stolen - I just synced it with my cellphone number and updated to the new OS the day before it's stolen. Why is the iPad not showing up in my iCloud account so that I can locate it and wipe the data?
I know that the iPad is likely still full of my text messages because I tried deleting them on my phone thinking it would also delete them from the iPad. Instead, the iPad re-populated all if the text messages I deleted back in to my iPhone.
Help! I don't want these people having my personal text messages. How can I wipe an iPad/break the sync with my phone when I don't have the iPad anymore?

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
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:

I have Apple ID for using iTunes, but haven't signed in. Now my Ipad stolen, how can I use Find My Phone for finding my Ipad?

Who can help me, to add my Ipad to Deviecs in Find My Phone. I was usually using my Ipad sign in iTunes for download music, but haven't signed in iCloud yet. Now my I Ipad stolen, how can I use Find My Phone?

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)

I got my ipad stolen and I locked it and bought a new one. When I am offline and someone tries to call me or message me it goes to my stolen ipad how can this be if it has been locked? Why do they still have access to my contacts/facetime/messages?

I got my Ipad stolen one month ago and bought a new. I locked the stolen one but now everytime someone calls me and my new ipad is offline the calls or messages will go to the stolen one. It is kind of creepy to know that my thiefs can read everything and send messages on my behalf to my contacts.....I have done the find my iphone application and it says that the ipad has not been used however I have family tell me that people that are not me answer the calls... I have also seen messages in my new ipad that I did not write.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have recently had my MacBook Pro and iPad stolen so I have bought a new iPad, since syncing to my existing Apple ID account I keep getting another Apple ID popping up asking for the password. Does this mean that the owner of this appe ID have my stuff?

You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Ipad Stolen- should I lock it or erase it? Also, if uphone shares same apple ID, will the iphone also become locked or erased?

Thank you!

It prevents a thief from accessing your software and data, but unless it has iOS 7 installed it will not prevent the thief from erasing and restoring it for his/her own use.
If you have iOS 7 installed even if the thief cracks your passcode, they will need to know your Apple ID and password to use it, otherwise, it's bricked.

HT4061 i had my ipad stolen on monday. I set it to remote wipe when next switched on. It came on yesterday and was wiped, but it did not tell me its last location. How can I find this out.

I beive that its too late now if the iPad has been wiped. The means of communicating with the device has been reset so there's no talking to it now.

Had iPad stolen how do I get my level 29 smurf game back?

I had my iPad stolen. on it my smurf game was up to level 29. My children and I play it together and love it? I have also spent a fair amount on
Items from the store. I have a new iPad now but don't know how to get back my level 29. I really don't want to have to start from level 1 again.
When I set up this iPad to my MacBook Pro I set it up as a new iPad and did not do the old restore? Would doing this help?
Thanks for any help.

... When I set up this iPad to my MacBook Pro I set it up as a new iPad and did not do the old restore? Would doing this help?
Yes. Restore it from the most recent backup prior to having it stolen.
Connect your iPad, open iTunes, and select your iPad under "Devices".
Control - click and select "Restore from Backup…"
Choose the most recent backup, hopefully one you created after Level 29.

I bought 2 films on my ipad and it got my ipad stolen

I bought a film on my ipad and got my ipad stolen but when i see purchsed movies on my macbook pro i cant see them. and when i try to download it it say u have to puchase it. any suggestion??

Films are currently a one-time only download except in the US where some film studios are allowing them to be re-downloaded. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will let you re-download them for free : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

My friend just had his iPad stolen at the airport. Any advice on finding it? Thanks!

My friend just had his iPad stolen at the airport. Is there anything he can do to locate it? Thanks in advance.

Unless he'd set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, there isn't any way to locate it. If he did set up MobileMe on it then he could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
If it was stolen then he should report it to the police. As a safety precaution he should also change his iTunes account password, his email account passwords, and any passwords that he'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Had ipad stolen need to unlock to locate

ive ipad stolen & need to unlock to locate it any ideas anyone

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

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.

IPad stolen, restored and locked but I need the data on it to catch the person responsible, what can I do?

iPad stolen, restored and locked but later returned... I need the data on it to catch the person responsible, what can I do To get to the information without losing everything or restoring? Please help!

Sorry, you said "Pad stolen, restored and locked but later returned". Please clarify. "restored and locked".
What, exactly, does this mean?
Locked how? If it's passcode locked and you don't know the passcode, you don't have any choice but to restore it.

HT204053 how do retrieve my serial number if ipad stolen

I recenlty had my Ipad stolen. I dont have the box and did register the ipad. It has been used in the cloud. Is thre a way to retrieve the serial number.

If you still have the box that the computer came in, the serial # is listed on there.
If the computer was registered, call Customer Relations - 1800-767-2775. They may be able to track your serial number after you provide them w/your name, address and/or other personal information.
Hopefully, you already reported your computer stolen to the police and your homeowners insurance. Your homeowners insurance company would have the serial # also.

IPad stolen!!
