Lost Ipad Air

i lost my iPad air and i have enabled the lost mode, however how will they see my message to call me if my iPad was already password protected? When will they see the message if they can't log on to internet?

Your message is sent as soon as you iPad connects to the Internet either by Wi-Fi or cellular network if you have one. It doesn't need to be unlocked for that. But that won't happen until they try to connect. Being locked doesn't actually prevent the device from obtaining a connection. I assume you put the device into Lost Mode in Find My Phone.
What To Do If Your iDevice 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 it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

I lost my Ipad Air without using icloud before. I can't locate.

I lost my Ipad Air i don't have icloud account before. i would like to know what i can do?

If you didn't have Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://www.icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone app on another iOS device.
You've reported it to the police in case anyone finds it and hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and you should also contact your carrier.

IPAD AIR - Lost and Stolen. Can the thief use my locked device?

MY iPad Air was lost/stolen while crossing the border between Hong Kong and Lowu (Shenzhen).
The device is locked. Under the support/my devices it shows that my iPad is registered with Apple and I do have the serial number for the device handy.
I tried to use "FIND MY IPHONE" and the device does not show up. It is possible I did not activate that function although this is unlikely.
Can the thief use my device by erasing all the data? Can Apple trace the device and if so, who do I report it to at Apple ?
Please help.

Thanks for your reply.
I also read somewhere that in the event I use the remote function via iCloud to delete the contents of the iPad, the thief could then use it. I have no intention of doing this.
I have just secured myself for now and changed all my passwords including the Apple user ID one.
I guess my best bet would be to report and register the number to the local authorities in case it gets returned / shows up by some good samaritan ?

Lost all my purchased Apps on iPad Air after restoring

Hi,
My iPad just locked itself for some what ever strange reason, and told me to connect it to iTunes. I did so, and it still wouldn't turn on. I tried turning it off and then when turning it on again, I held down the home button (like I was instructed to at Apple Support sites).
When my iPad then came back on, I had to restore it, and all my apps and notes made in pages, were gone.
After a little while of trying to figure out how much I had lost (I bought this iPad Air about 1 month ago), I realised it would not connect my apple ID to Apple store.
Therefore I can not get back any of my previously purchased apps (Pages, Keynote, Visible Body etc)
I tried to look for them on iTunes to see if they could be synchronised there, but without success.
Otherwise the iPad is acting a little strange. Before it had a silent icon in the menu you can pull up from below, and now that icon is missing...
Does anyone know how I can fix this or help me?
Appreciate all help,
Kind regards, Sara

Hi katz2010!

My iphone 4s suddenly lost all my appts. on my calendar and all my personally assigned ring tones. I just received a ipad air and did nothing that I know of to change anything on my phone.

Help! I am a newbie at this. Have an Iphone 4s has been working fine. I use my calendar for appts. and I have assigned ringtones for certain contacts. Today for no reason that I know of the calendar is empty and the special ringtones are gone. I just received an ipad air and have beenplaying with it. That is the only different variable. I dont know what I did to make the calendar erase as well as the ringtones.
Thank you for any help!

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

IPad Air WiFi (5GHz) issues after iOS 8 upgrade

Same problem with my ipad air with ios 8.02, lost connectivity with 5Ghz band. It works for about 5 seconds, then hangs in Safari, email, etc. When I connect to 2.4 ghz band, it all works fine. Please fix this. Thank you.

Later today new software upgrade iOS 8.1 wait for that may help. Bsydd uk

My iPad Air won't download any apps or app updates.

Okay, so my iPad Air has not been downloading any apps, when I tap update it brings the download icon up but does nothing. I stop it then start it again and the loading icon just spins constantly. It's sorta the same thing when I download an app or anything else. my wifi is fine and I can connect to the internet with safari or any of my apps, I even tried it from a friends network and it did the same thing.
A List of things I have tried:
1. Turn off/on IPad
2. Reset iPad, (holding lock and home for 15 seconds)
3. Reset network settings
4. Reset all settings
5. updated iPad to iOS 8.1.2
6. signed out of iTunes threw settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple id> sign out, then restarted the iPad and signed back in
7. Downloading things from a different and working wifi connection
none of that has fixed it, I seriously do not want to back up and restore if at all possible because 1 it's such a hassle and 2 I have such bad luck with backups, last time I did a backup and restored from it I lost the app data for 5 of my apps 3 of them being games I loved playing (infinity blade 3, gangster vegas, modern combat 4) because no matter what I did or how many times I restored from the backup those apps would not sync over to the iPad. I had read something that I should check the Downloads tab in the ITunes store to make sure there were no downloads stuck preventing other things from downloading, but recently I noticed the download tab is no longer an option on my bar in iTunes and no icon for it in edit. same with my iPhone 6. (why would Apple remove something like that?) I searched every inch of the iTunes store and even in view your apple ID i can't find the download queue anywhere.
Am I overlooking the download queue? Did they remove it from iOS 8? Anything else I can try besides restoring? X.x this has been going on for to long now and I just got a Jot Touch for my iPad and wanted to download some apps i could use it with but I can't because of this, I'm also missing out on holiday stuff and new games :/ If anyone can help me with this I would love you forever.

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

How can i activate Bluetooth on my Ipad Air with iOS 8.2 ?

Hello!
My first problem is my bad English.... :-(
My second problem is with Bluetooth on my Ipad.
I can't activate the Bluetooth function on my Ipad Air with iOS 8.2.
At Settings>Bluetooth there isn't a activate or YES/NO button.
It allways shows a wait symbol (little turning circle)
Do you have you any tipps for me?
Best regards
Hostie64

You can try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here For more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

How to Restore a Lost iPad (iPhone) without Wiping !!

This is not question. This is a solution.
I lost my iPad, it was found, and I thought it would be wiped as soon as I turned it on and it found iTunes.
But here's what I found, contrary to the what the 'Genius Desk' told me at the Apple store.
If you go out to iTunes with another device, log in, and delete the 'found' device from the 'Find My Phone' list, BEFORE power up of the lost device, it should work without being wiped. Typically, you have your iPad setup for only your own routers, so don't power it up in their presence. And just to be safe, don't power up near 'public' WiFi either. Until you get into 'Settings' and turn off WiFi on the lost iPad (or iPhone), you are in jeopardy of it being auto wiped.
And as Paul Harvey said: "And now... the rest of the story." (You can skip the next part if you are an impertinent person with no regard for a classic tale.)
I lost my iPad 3 at the Denver airport in December's mad rush. My fault, nobody else's; I was furious with myself.
I submitted my claim at the airport lost and found, believing I would never see it again. (BTW, save yourself the trouble and use their online site.)
A friend of mine told me about 'Find My Phone', which also works for iPads. We logged onto iTunes, on his iPhone, with my password, and I was able see the name I had given my lost iPad. I told 'Find My Phone' to wipe my iPad and display my cell phone number on the screen, just in case someone "honest" found my iPad. I knew I had locked my iPad but I decided this was safest. They can always wipe it, but iTunes will never allow it's use, due to the original owner's serial number on file. It becomes a 'brick'.
Segue, 2 months later.
I bought a new Air 2 because I need an iPad to run ForeFlight, a pilot program for navigation in small aircraft. One week later, I get an email from Apple, telling me to contact law enforcement at the airport (Lost and Found), and they even gave me the contact phone number to call. Sure enough, the airport found my iPad. The way I figure it, someone turned it in probably the day I lost it, and it took 2 months for Denver Airport to process the "mountains" of stuff they have turned in by travelers over the holidays. I was just happy I have it back. I took it directly to the Apple store to see if they could turn off the 'wiping' procedure and restore my old iPad. Nope! No can do! Once you tell it to wipe, through "Find My Phone", it's a done deal. Then I remembered something...
I had not set up Find My Phone on my old iPad, at least as far as I could remember. Maybe, just maybe, there was a way around this. Well... I found it.
I was told that if my iPad connected to WiFi, even it it were publicly open, it would connect to iTunes and automatically start the wiping process. Well, maybe.
Fortunately for me, Denver Airport Lost and Found had powered up my iPad, saw that it was passworded, hit the off button (so they thought) and instantly called Apple with the serial number on the back. That is what prompted Apple to email me. Thank you Apple! Actually, they had put it to sleep, not turning it OFF. Over 2 months, the battery went dead, a good thing.
When I got it home, I began to think about the power up sequence. This iPad had been setup to instantly connect to my home router. If I charged it, and it connected, I feared it might started wiping, so I devised a plan. Worst came to worst, it would wipe and I'd start over. Here's what actually happened.
I live far enough from town, that only a few WiFi routers exist nearby, and they are all encrypted. So, I turned off my router and let my iPad charge, just in case it tried to connect when it had enough charge to come out of deep sleep. Within about an hour, it was up and running again. I went into the settings and turned off the WiFi. Then, I turned my router back on. This allowed me to use my new Air2 to go out to iTunes and list all devices on Find My Phone. Lo, and behold, there was a list with my old iPad and my new Air2. I removed the old iPad from the list. Voila! It was gone! Just to be sure, I copied any configuration I wanted onto my new iPad from my old iPad, manually. (This was more of a science experiment, so I was motivated to see if this worked. It's a geek thing.) When I was finished and ready, I re-enabled the WiFi on the old iPad. Sure enough, it connected instantly to my router, and nothing happened. The only thing it needed was 138 email updates, a few other things, and of course, an iOS update, performing flawlessly. My old iPad was back to normal. No wipe and just like I left it. There ya have it. A way out.
BTW, when I walked into the Apple store in Boulder, Colorado, they were all amazed that the Apple process had worked and I got my iPad back. Remember, I had been in there a week earlier and bought a new one, telling them my woes. That's when they told me it would be wiped, if ever found.
And what will I do with two iPads? You guessed, sweetie wumpums gets the other one.

Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 5 very closely.
