Is it possible to locate an ipad without the account activated

Friend has lost his ipad. Sounds like it has not been registered with Apple that I know of.  If they have the serial number is it possible to register the ipad then locate it from another device.   Not sure if this is possible unless I use my id and password.

It's not possible to anything remotely without previously setting up and turning on Find my iPhone on the device itself.

    One word.  NO
    Sorry.  If you have lost your iPad, immediately go to iTunes and change your Apple ID password.  Change your email passwords.  Change the passwords you use for any app tied to a credit card.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • Is it possible to purchase an iPad in the US, to take back and use in the UK

    Is it possible to purchase an iPad in the US, and take back home to UK for use? I'm not sure if I would have to insert a UK sim into it, or if it would work as is.

    In relation to the new Ipad with retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular version
    After doing some research and speaking with various apple customer care representatives here in the UK the following is what I could find:
    UK will be getting the A1460 model Ipad sold in the US (different mains adaptor).
    Part number for the Ipad: MD522B/A
    I also found the following IPAD A1460 models on the web from a website which seems to be written with Japanese characters
    http://www.speedbusiness.net/shop/products/list_314.html
    ■Apple iPad with RD 16GB MD525xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 16GB  MD522xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 32GB MD526xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 32GB MD523xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 64GB MD527xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 64GB MD524xx/A
    So you can see that the part number MD522B/A given to me by Apple UK tallies up with A1460 16GB cellular version.
    Since you can use Ipad internationally with a local sim of the local country then Ipad A1460 bought from the US will work just fine in the UK. At the moment A1460 in the US is the Verizon/Sprint version if you don't know the model number. (So to clarify It is not locked to Sprint/Verizon (contrary to what I have been told by all the apple reps I spoke to here in the UK - Apple should at least train/inform their reps to say the right things)).
    If you want data connection in the UK just get a sim card for Ipad from
    EE for 4g LTE connection
    or
    T-mobile, Vodafone, 3, and etc for 3G+ connection. 
    The warranty is only relevant if the Ipad bough inthe US is different to what is sold in the UK. But from what I could find the parts are the same, i.e. screen, cover, battery, camera, etc. So if anything goes wrong you can go to Apple UK and they should fix it for you under warranty.
    If you can get away with not paying customs charges then for example 32GB Wi-Fi + Cellular version comes to about about £490 ($720 + lets say 8.5% sales tax if bought in LA  and dividing the total by 1.589 conversion rate between $ and £ ). That is around £89 cheaper than the £579 for the same model sold in the UK.
    Customs limit for importing without customs charge of a single item is £135 and it seems £390 collectively as pointed above. So anything above that in theory you should declare. But obviously that is not practical and customs don't question many of the items. So add up the shoes, jeans, and that digital camera you bought and do the maths.

  • How can I reactivate my iPad without the original apple-id?

    Hello Community,
    I bought my iPad (3rd gen) two years ago (64GB WiFi Cellular).
    After using it for a year i gave it to the son of a friend for some some month to use.
    When I got it back, it was locked and the boy forgot the code. So we did a reset to factory defaults.
    Now the iPad asks to be activated again with the apple id of the boy.
    The problem is: He has no access to his apple id anymore. He cant remember his apple id, his apple id password nor the password he used for the mail account for the apple-id. He doesn't use them anymore. We tried to reset the apple id, but it didn't work.
    How can i reactivate my deleted iPad without the original apple-id that was used to lock/link/configure it?
    Any help appreciated

    You're in a tough spot.  Activation lock was enabled on your iPad, so without the unknown ID's you won't be able to reactivate the iPad.  You're only option is to take the iPad to an Apple Store Genius Bar and maybe it's possible if you prove you are the original owner of the iPad, they'll help you.  If you can't prove you are the original owner, you're really out of luck.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    For the hiding, go to the document properties under initial view. You may confuse some folks if there is no file menu to close the file (a lot of folks just can't get the keyboard shortcut, alt-F4, into their head. They are going to look for where to find the file menu to close.

  • Is it possible to create "places" tags without the maping feature?

    Is it possible to create "places" tags without the maping feature? I updated from PSE 10 (where I created my own list of "places,") to PSE 12, where "places" seems to require the mapping feature. I would prefer not to use the map, and stick to my old way.
    Thanks for any help!
    Tom

    Apparently, not only is the mapping feature required, but once the GPS-loaded Place tag is created, it is not listed in alphabetical order with other place tags.  It is listed by country, then by state, then by title!!  !! VERY irritating!!  And what if I want to create a place tag (of which I already have many) which does not have a recognizeable address, like, say, Grandmother's House?  VERY irritating.
    And if I use the Keyword feature to create Place tags, they will be in an entirely separate list from the other Place tags.  VERY irritating!
    Who designed this upgrade?  I will soon start looking for an alternative, though I have used Photoshop Organizer for years and have thousands of photos in it.  My upgrade to PSE 12 has caused me nothing but headaches.

  • HT1430 how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

    how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

    You force your iPad into Recovery Mode.
    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.
