My dad lost his iPad 1 and he didn't have the find my iPad app. Is there any way to locate it?

It's really important that we find it. If I call with the phone number of the cellular plan will apple be able to retrieve the serial and thus the location?

If MobileMe / Find My iPad wasn't set up on it before it was lost, then no, unfortunately there is no way to locate it.
If it was stolen then it should be reported to the police. He should contact his carrier so as to cancel the sim. Also as a precaution he should change his iTunes password, his email account passwords, and any passwords saved on websites and in emails/notes etc

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

    Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
    Stolen iPad Database
    http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
    Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

  • HT201365 I lost my iPhone and I didn't have the find my iPhone turned on , is there anything I can do so people can't use it or get into it?

    I lost my iPhone and I believe someone has found it but hasn't returned it I never turned on the find my iPhone is there anything else I can do to find it? The reason I believe some has it Is because of my pictures on my iPad they took pictures and must have uploaded them cause I now have pictures of kids. What can I do.. I do not know these kids

    Without Find My iPhone turned on, there is not a lot you can do. Sounds like you didn't have a Lock Screen lock on either. Thre is nothing to prevent the thief from using it. They will not be able to resotre it, and if they try, it will then lock them out with an Activation Lock that will completely disable the device.
    You need to report it to the police, change your Apple/iCloud/iTunes password, and contact your carrier to suspend servce to the device.
    Sorry about your troubles,

  • My ipad was stolen however i have the serial number...is there any way i can see if someone is using it?

    My ipad was stolen but I have the serial number.
    How can I track it and how can I register my new one?

    If they haven't already wiped it and started over, and you activated Find my iPhone on your iPad, you might be able to track it.  If you did not activate Find my iPhone, you will not be able to track it.  Apple will not help you.  But, you should immediately go and change your Apple ID password, and any other passwords you use for accounts like Twitter, Facebood, Mail, Apps you make purchases with, like the Starbucks Mobile App, etc. 

  • HT201240 I want to resest the administrator password but I don't remember the old password and I don't have the start up disc. Is there a way around this?

    I'm trying to install a program update and the password that I thought I set isn't working. I don't have any start-up disk and need help resetting the password.

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

  • IPOD touch Screen is blacked out. I charges and itunes recognizes it, only the screen remains black. Is there any way to fix this Problem. I have the latest software update and I restored it several times, but screen remains blacked out.

    My IPOD touch 4th gen screen does not display.  The software seems to be working and itunes recognizes the device.  I have restored it and reset the IPOD several times but the screen is still black.  What can I do to fix it? your help is very much appreciated. I do not have access to an apple store since I am stationed in Afghanistan. 

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

    I lost my iPad mini while traveling recently.  I tried using the Find My iPhone App (which showed my iMac, my iPhones, my old iPad, and my macbook) but the mini didn't show up...probably because it was turned off or the battery ran down.
    I still have the original receipt from when I purchased it, showing the article number and the serial number.  Is there any way to locate it with that info?

    No, unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it.
    Have you reported it to the police in case somebody 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 if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier.

    If it was stolen seven months ago, then you are a little late to do anything about it. Buy a new one.

  • I have lost my iPad 3 (3G). I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?

    Although I have Telstra 3G
    I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?
    I dont know the opperating system but I only got it recently...
    I also have a mac book pro also without iCloud.

    Without Find My iPad having been enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it - and that would only work if it's connected to a network and hasn't been wiped or had Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also contact your carrier and change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • I've lost my iphone 4S and i didn't active the Icloud so what can i do to find it

    i’ve lost my iphone 4S and i didn't active the Icloud so what can i do to find it ?

    Look where you think you left it. Report the loss to the police.  The Find My iPhone thing only works if you activated it before losing it, and even then only under specific conditions.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17869845 - stolen iPhone
    Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html
    Note that these features require you have the "Find My" activated before you lose the device, the device be turned on and able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad), and not having been restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it). If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet
