My daughter lost her iPad access code

Dear all
I guess this is not new: my daughter forgot about her iPad (-1) access code. To unlock the iPad with the approach found via google at http://www.videoconverteripad.com/ipad-tutorial/unlock-ipad-passcode.html doesn't work since the locked iPad doesn't connect to iTunes. I welcome your appreciated help! Thanks!

The device must be restored from the computer it was last synced with.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS: Understanding passcodes
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
If iTunes doesn't "see" the iPad when connected under Devices left side of the iTunes window, read here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • My daughter lost her iPad Mini.

    My daughter was given an iPad mini for Christmas. It went missing on Friday 31st Jan2014. Tried to find via app but then found a message on my wife's phone stating the "find my iPad" on the Mini had been turned off on 25th Dec 2013.  We were unaware this function had been turned off.  Is there a way we can now find the iPad Mini.

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

  • My daughter lost her Ipod 5 at the Snow Shoe rest stop in PA.

    My daughter lost her Ipod 5 on 11-2-14 at the Snow Shoe rest stop in PA. I am posting here hoping whomever found it might be seeking to return it as it is useless to them.  Please post if you found it. I will pay for postage and reward for returning. Thank you.

    No app on the iOS device is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and rest stop agency
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • My friend lost her iPad, how do we locate it's

    I Need help with using find my iPad.  My friend lost her ipad, can she use my iPad to find it and how do we do it. Please help!

    Unless she had Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it. If she did have it enabled then she could try locating it either via http://www.icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone app on another iOS device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and Find My iPad hasn't been disabled on it.
    If she thinks that it was stolen then she should report it to the police. She should also change her iTunes account password, her email account passwords, and any passwords that she'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model she should also contact her carrier.

  • Can anyone help me with this: my daughter lost her unlimited data plan when I used her upgrade.

    My daughter lost her unlimited data plan when I used her upgrade to buy a new phone (upgrade transfer). She didn't upgrade her phone, I did. No one told us this was going to happen and the first I knew of it was when I got a letter in the mail telling me of the change. We went back to the store where we bought the new phone and they put in 2 requests for her unlimited plan to be reinstated, but both were denied. They then told us to call Customer Care, but Customer Care doesn't care. Does anyone else have any experience of this and know of any recourse we may have? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    She didn't upgrade her phone, but you did by using her upgrade.  It's her contract that then gets extended, not yours.  And, unfortunately, as of last June, whenever you sign a new two-year contract, you lose your unlimited data.  You can try to reverse the upgrade and get the unlimited data restored if within 30 14 days, but since Verizon has discontinued the unlimited data plans for everyone, I'm not sure how successful you'll be.
    For what it's worth, to keep unlimited data (at least for now; rumor has it that it may be completely gone next summer), you don't want to sign a new two-year contract, but pay full retail price, get the phone elsewhere (like ebay), or use an upgrade from a phone that's on a tiered data plan.
    It's 14 days, tiki.  Otherwise they are out of luck.

  • My daughter lost her ipod somewhere in the house.  Unfortunately it is offline. My home has WiFi is there a way to some how wake it up so we can find it?

    My daughter lost her ipod somewhere in the house.  Unfortunately it is offline. My home has WiFi is there a way to some how wake it up so we can find it?

    No. If it is offline then there is no way to find it on the web. The device must respond in order to be located.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    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.

  • My daughter lost her phone.  It is still ringing when called and is showing up on our family locator.  Is there anyway to pinpoint where it is?  She didn't have icloud find my phone turned on when the phone was lost.

    My daughter lost her iphone.  I can locate it with verizon family locator, as it is still working, but this doesn't pinpoint it well enough for us to find it.  She did not have the find my iphone in icloud turned on when the phone was lost.  Is there any way to change the settings on her phone from a pc so I can turn this on?

    If the iphone is a device which is using the iOS 7.0.4 then the 'find my device' is turned on by default. With this being said if you will go to www.icloud.com and login with your apple id login which is assocaited with the device icloud will pinpoint the device within a 10 meter radius.
    Good luck Friend.

  • My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it?

    My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it if someone turns it in?

    Change her iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • HT201209 My daughter lost her gift card for ITunes but we still have the receipt from the purchase. How can we redeem her gift card without the card?

    My daughter lost her ITunes gift card but we still have the receipt. How can we activate the gift card?

    Go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They usually will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt, so you should contact the person who gave her the card and ask if they can send you a copy of the receipt. Many resellers provide a gift receipt for just this sort of purpose.
    Regards.

  • Lost my ipad/security code

    I've lost my ipad. It is locked with the 4 digit security code but i had disabled the erase after 10 failed attempts feature so my question is. Whoever has found my ipad how many attempts will they get at trying the security code before my ipad completely locks down and has to be connected to a computer and restored that way. Also once restored by a computer/itunes i take it all my data will be erased and the finder will basically have a new ipad with settings as if out the box?
    thanks for any answers just looking for peace of mind over my personnel data

    I believe it is the same 10 attempts, then locks out and requires a restore, if you have ios 7 and enabled the activation lock, they cannot format as new without the original Apple ID and password that were used., They then have an unusable blank ipad.
