My friend just had his iPad stolen at the airport. Is there anything he can do to locate it? Thanks in advance.

Unless he'd set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, there isn't any way to locate it. If he did set up MobileMe on it then he could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
If it was stolen then he should report it to the police. As a safety precaution he should also change his iTunes account password, his email account passwords, and any passwords that he'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Can college campuses identify a stolen ipad on their network if the device was reregistered but is off? (My friend had his ipad stolen.) Thanks

I was wondering how to help a friend locate his device. We are on a college campus with a good IT department. Should the device log into the network with another identity, are these campus technology departments authorized to access mac addresses to identify who logged on? And how can knowing the serial number of the product help? Thanks. If there is any other additional information, it would be greatly appreciated!!

File a report with your campus police deparment. If you know the mac address give it to them and then see if they will coordinate an effort with campus it.

My friend just got back her stolen ipad...she says that she purchased all of her music and apps through the apple store. Will she be able to get back any of the content she has paid for?

If for some reason she has failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then she can redownload some purchases in some countries:

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Just had an ipad and made a mistake on the password. Have now changed the password and everthing works great except facetime it will not accept the password. how can i change it please

The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

I beive that its too late now if the iPad has been wiped. The means of communicating with the device has been reset so there's no talking to it now.

Hi,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

Forgotten passcode (Recovery Mode)
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
