Location device- Ipad offline ?

I have used the locate my device successfully for my ipad and iphone up until IOS5 . It works perfectly for the iphone but it now states the IPAD is offline when its not . I have looked at settings and tried over the last few days thinking it was a glitch but have had no luck to date. Could anyone shed any light on what I could do ? Could it be anything to do with me switching my appleid on my ipad, I had more than one and tried to get use one apple id for all of my gear thinking it would help with icloud ?

Heya there claudioprice,
I would recommend our iPad Troubleshooting Assistant for applications found here https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/application/.
If you keep getting the same symptoms after doing all the troubleshooting steps, then I would suggest backing up and restoring the iPad with iTunes.

  • I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    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.

  • 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.

  • TS3376 i read somewhere that even if a device is offline, it can give you a last known location.  Is this true and how do I access that?

    I read somewhere that even if a device is offline, find my iphone can give you a last known location.  Is this true and how do I access that?

    Your iPhones's last known location will be available for a day. After 24 hours you will no longer be able to see this last known location if the device is offline or otherwise unable to connect to Find My iPhone to provide an updated location.

    Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I located my ipad but when wipe the data i lost the tracking data is stored? Why can't i continue with find my ipad?

    I just discovered that my ipad was stolen. I located it using mobileme and immediately use the wipe data function which immediately cleared the location information or tracking function. Is there a way to use locate my ipad or track it after activated the wipe function?

    Sadly, no. Once you choose to wipe your data, it removes ALL of your data. That includes your MobileMe information. You won't be able to track it anymore. But, your data isn't compromised either! For the furture, (but I'm sure you already know) it may be best to send your iPad a message first asking the finder to call a phone number or email an address if found. You can lock your device with a code and give it a few minutes/hours to be returned before you wipe it. Of course, if you know for sure it was stolen then wiping it probably was the safest decision. I'm sorry to hear about your loss and I hope you either find it soon or are able to purchase a new device.

  • Can you use pages for OS on IPad offline?

    Can you use the pages app on the IPad offline?

    If you have Pages on more than one device and have iCloud set to sync Pages your documents will appear on all devices. You need a Wi-Fi or cellular connection for the sync to happen. But one the document is on a device you do not need to be connected to the internet to open or edit the documents.
    One thing you do need to be carful about if you have Pages on two devices, like an iPad and iPhone, is that things might get confused if you are offline and make different edits to the same document on each device,

  • Upgraded my iTunes from 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0 and now iTunes cannot locate my iPad 2 or any of the movies/books I purchased

    Computer illiterate here.  I wanted to upgrade my iPad2 from an iOS 4.3.5 to a 5.0 so i could upgrade some of my games.  Initially when iPad2 wanted to upgrade to 5.0 I said no because people said it was causing a lot of problems.  Now I cannot play certain games because I don't have iOS 5.0.  I went to iTunes because I cannot locate any upgrades on my iPad 2 and the upgrade was to iOS 7.0 which I did.  Now when I go to my iPad 2, it says HELLO and wants me to follow all these steps.  When I try to restore my back up, iTunes cannot locate my iPad 2 or other items I purchased.  What can I do, I should have just left it at iOS 4.3.5 - at least I could use my iPad 2?

    Hey there SNagai,
    It sounds like you are not seeing your iPad in iTunes after updating it. I would recommend the following article to help you get that working again:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
    1. Update iTunes
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.
