Lost location tracking on my wifi iPad 64GB

This has been puzzling me for quite sometime now. My ipad "could not determine position" Don't know how it happened some of us advised it was due to some update. Tried all sorts of rest but can't get it. It was last working very fine in Jun 2011 and since then ( probably after an update) it kinked off. Any ideas as to how to restore and get the position. Have been using google maps and navionics software for position tracking and navigation.
Please advise ...thanks and regards

Yes I am using a Belkin 460 B , the same machine was working fine earlier and could easily determine position. Someone even suggested go to a place wher u could get satellite coverage. If am correct there is no inbuilt GPS receiver on iPad wifi models ( correct me if wrong). Any cracks to get the position.??????

You can only track your iPad if you installed Find my iPad before losing it.

How can I locate my lost iPod touch within my WiFi network range?!

I am still using my 1st gen iPod touch from 2008 for apps and music and other uses. I rely on it quite a bit although of course I have a separate cell phone for now (will eventually get an iPhone). However, I synced it with iTunes right before going on a long shopping spree Thursday afternoon then hooked it to my car's stereo system to listen to as I often do. Upon returning home, tired and with multiple bags, I was trying to juggle them all on several trips from my car to front door (about 30 ft.). The iPod touch always picks up my WiFi network in my car as soon as I pull in, and with my hands full on my last trip I realized I'd forgotten to disconnect my iPod touch so I could bring it in too. I'll admit I was getting bogged down and annoyed so I disconnected it then remember also dropping some bags and picking them up from the parking space. An hour later, after finally getting most bags and myself at least somewhat settled, I remembered I hadn't reconnected my iPod touch to its JBL docking system. I soon realized I couldn't find it in the house and went with a flashlight to look in the car and outside between the house and car. I searched for hours in all likely places and again the next day. I also thought about an hour after losing it to check AirPort Utility's advanced pane which includes the logs, wireless clients and DHCP clients. Sure enough it was still picking the device up, every 30 minutes or so periodically showing "binding added" and "binded dropped" for my iPod's IP address via NAT, and also "associated with" and "disassociated with" the iPod's unique MAC address.
My worst fear was that I dropped it outside and someone dishonest took it, but that seems unlikely because I really don't have those kinds of neighbors and I searched immediately for it everywhere it could be (in my car, under it, outside everywhere I walked, in the house in the oddest places like under furniture, in discarded shopping bags, the trash can and even the freezer! Sure enough, for 13 hours AirPort Utility showed activity contacting (or detecting) the device as mentioned above, until about 9:30 the next morning. Since then there has been no log activity detected, and the device itself listed with MAC address has also disappeared under the "DHCP Clients" pane of AirPort Utility. I realize this could simply be the battery dying after all this time (although it should be in sleep mode), but the point is it was close by for all that time even after I'd searched for it, so it is unlikely someone found it easily after I searched everywhere I'd been in the short distance from parked car to home. It also has a black rubber "suit" so the entire thin 8GB device is thin and completely black all over, further disguising it, especially at night.
My question is that since this is not an iPhone and I cannot "call it" to find it, and it is only a 1st gen. iPod touch without a built-in speaker to make loud noises unless hooked to headphones or a line output, how can I find it? It does make the tiny super high-pitched digital beeps when I get a "push" notification but I don't see how that does me any good unless someone from an app I use tries to contact me while I'm in extremely close proximity to hear those faint tones. Anyway, I really do need it and it's driving me crazy knowing it is within such a short range from me either inside my house or car (or outside in a short straight path from car to my doorstep) yet I am helpless. Is there anything anyone can suggest? It's almost worst than knowing I lost it anywhere, because I know it's here, but want to find it soon before someone else does (if outside) or the trash gets thrown out (if it fell in there) or it gets run over if on the street somewhere I missed.

There is no way to automatcally locate it.
Since WiFi does not travel far talk to your neighbors. Perhaps one of them (or their children) found your iPod.
If this does not work make a more thorough search of your house to find it.

Connect to iTunes required after every power off of Ipad 64GB wifi

My Ipad 64GB wifi model continually prompts to "connect to iTunes" every time I power off and power back on. This is extremely frustrating and the Apple Customer Care has asked that I return my iPad. I would rather find a solution since I am working Iraq and my Ipad is my e-book reader (in place of a Kindle. Steps taken thus far:
Reset iPad (Erase All Content and Settings)
Reset Network settings
Reset All Settings (content not erased)
I've read that this problem sometimes occurs with some third-party applications installed (like Jailbird) . I do not have any of those applications installed. If anyone can offer a solution I would greatly appreciate it.

Since you erased all content and reinstalled the OS and this still happens, sounds like a hardware failure. You need to take the iPad back to an Apple store for an exchange.

I FORGOT MY IPAD4(wifi) password and it got disabled now how can i recover it?? By the way the wifi is of and the location services and find my ipad are enabled now what can i do to recover it???? PLZ HELP!!!

Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.

I thought yes, more like this on the right says no. Why not take the two devices outside and try.

Then you can't.

If I lock my lost ipad, will I still be able to locate it using "find my ipad" app?

And how do I do a remote backup from icloud before I wipe it?

New IPAD 64GB WIFI SCREEN FREEZE

Hi. I have The New IPAD 64GB WIFI. Initially it worked fine. After a few weeks it started to freeze. At one point it even gave me the blue screen of death. Did the reset(home off button10 sec). It would restart but crash again a few minutes later. Done a factory reset on the Ipad "erase all content and settings". No new apps installed. Still have the same problem.Anybody have a solution for this?

Personally, I wouldn't try anything further to "fix" the iPad. If you restored it and removed all apps and it still acts up like you describe, I would head to an Apple Store, show it to an Apple Genius, and then politely ask for a replacement.

I have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i have set up wifi but it wont get on the net

i have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i dont have a data plan yet & i have set up wifi but it wont conect to the internet

From your description above I conclude that the WiFi transmitter and receiver of your iPad appear to be working, but I abviously cannot tell how well they are working.
Have you reset your iPad already?
Press the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until only the white Apple logo appears on the screen - usually 10 to 15 seconds - ignore anything else.

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.

I lost my general tab from my iPad guide

I lost my general tab and my I cloud tab from my iPad user guide . As well as my bookmarks I have tried rebooting not working

If you have the WiFi-only iPad (which does not have GPS) your location is determined by the mapped location of nearby WiFi routers. A WiFi+Cellular iPad or an iPhone has GPS and can locate itself.
Without GPS iPad location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. No two routers have the same MAC address.
The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing routers and then adding/updating the router's locations into the database. There is no manual way to request an update to the Apple location database.
Note, to be used for location determination, a device does not need to actually be connected to a router, it just has to see the router and its MAC address. More precise location determination can be done if several nearby routers can be seen.

Is Location supposed to work on iPADs that don't come with Cellular capabilities?

Using the new iPAD mini 3, without Cellular - I have been unable to get MAPS to show my location.
I get a popup window which says "CANNOT DETERMINE LOCATION"
I very carefully went through every possible settings to allow LOCATION to System Services, Wifi, Messages, MAPS, Restrictions, etc.
I turned it all on, then powered down the iPAD mini 3, then powered it back up. I turned Wifi on.
Nope- not only does MAPS not be able to get my location, but FIND my iPHONE doesn't find it in the iCloud (all settings are correct).
And - Messages : I tried to SEND my LOCATION to another person, it said "locating" ... then the sending bar got about 7/8 full then hung... forever.
I thought LOCATION was supposed to work either from the WIFI or from the Compass ?? (when GPS is absent) Right? Wrong?
Is anyone else having this issue?
Otherwise FIND MY IPHONE will never work for the iPADs without cellular? (I hope I'm wrong.)
I look forward to any of your replies.
Thank-you.
iOS 8.1, running on iPAD mini 3, 64gb

iPads without cellular get their location information from nearby WiFi networks. So, WiFi has to be turned on. However, that data can be wildly inaccurate. It requires that the WiFi router be properly registered in Apple's database. If you live in, say Florida and are using a WiFi router then move, with that router to Alaska, it will be a while before that router is re-register as being in Alaska.
If there are no nearby WiFi networks, there will be no location information available. Compasses do not give location information. They give orientation and direction.

I have recently lost the ability to connect my ipad to Apple TV. Any thoughts?

I have recently lost the ability to connect my ipad to Apple TV. Any thoughts?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
