My iPad has been reported stolen and is now locked.

My iPad Mini had been reported stolen and is now locked with a passcode. I didn't report it nor is it stolen. I live no where near a Apple store and have no means of getting to one, is there anything I can do?

How do you know that it has been reported stolen?
If someone used "Find my iPhone" to lock your iPad mini then they must know your Apple ID and password. This sounds a bit like an inside job/joke. If not, you should immediately change your password.
If you cannot find the passcode then:
You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items. A carrier may offer IMEI blocking (non in the USA currently do, but elsewhere some do). Your carrier would already know your IMEI number anyway, so just contact them and ask them about it.
It is VERY good that you had a passcode lock on the device. That means your personal information will be safe. And yes, after 10 failed attempts (each with increasing time out between allowing another attempt) the device will permanently lock them out until they restore the device in iTunes. Anyone can go ahead and restore your iPhone as new in iTunes, but that also wipes everything off it and restores it to new condition - which does mean they can go off and use it as theirs, but at least all your data is gone.
Did you file a police report it was stolen? Also your carrier should be told (and ask them about IMEI blocking). Sorry it is gone, but you did the best thing possible to protect yourself and your information when you set up that passcode lock.

Ever since I downloaded IOS 8 my IPad has been slower, stalling and now it completely crashed and I can't restart. It's the Ipad 2. Is there anyway I can do?

Hey Basketsopugs,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with a third-party application after the iOS 7 update. The following article outlines the best procedure for troubleshooting this issue:

If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

HT5824 My iPad has been stolen. I need the serial number to report it to the authorities. I dont have the box it came in or the receipt and its not on my itunes on the computer because I didnt use it or music, just pictures. Can someone please help???

My iPad has been stolen. Someone broke into my house on Tuesday. I have already tried locking it through icloud. I have reported this to the authorities but they cannot do much unless I give them the serial number to the iPad. With the serial number they can put it into a database and send that inormation to pawn shops, so i the theie tries to pawn it, the pawn shop employeee can convscate the iPad and hand it over to the authorites. I need the serial number to report it to the authorities. I dont have the box it came in or the receipt and its not on my itunes on the computer because I didnt use it or music, just pictures. Can someone please help??? btw, some words are misspelled becasue the letter that comes ater the letter E, doesnt work on my keybord.
Thanks

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it (as your tagline shows iOS 7 then it should be harder to remove from your account).
You've reported it to the police ? 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 then you should also contact your carrier.

My IPad has been stolen and I was trying to track it on 'find my ipad' but the thief kept it offline. I just saw him change my user id. Any recommendations on how I can keep tracking the stolen device?

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

You will only be able to track your iPad if you have find my iPhone active and the iPad is connected to a network.

My iPad has been stolen and I would like to download the backup to my iPhone. Is this possible?

My iPad has been stolen and I backed it up. Where and how can I find the back up? And can I download that backup to my iPhone?

You can only restore the backup to another iOS device. You can't download it to your computer. Also be aware that Apple reserves the right to delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so make sure you do this before that. Also, you can't restore camera roll photos from a backup to an iPad. They would have to be restored to another iPhone, or iPod touch.

I imagine he knows.
In order for a lost iPhone to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPhone' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible. You can't use the serial number or IMEI number to locate a phone: the former is only useful to identify it as yours if it turns up, and the latter can be used by most service providers to block it, rendering it useless and preventing anyone from spending your credit.

My Ipad has been stolen...I've purchase a new one and when trying to restore a previous back up, the system showed me a different Apple ID. Can it be the ID of the one who has my Ipad ?

My Ipad has been stolen at home.
I've purchase a new one and when trying to restore a backup from I cloud the Ipad showed me a different Apple ID than mine and refused my Apple ID.
Can it be this ID (which is an email adress) is the email of the one having my stolen IPAD ?
THANKS
Olivier

The appleid its showing you is associated with one of the apps / songs or another purchase that was on the device the last time it was backed up which it needs to download the app / purchase again. It won't be from the person who has your ipad now unless they downloaded it and then your device was backed up afterwords, so only if the backup date was listed as AFTER your device was lost / stolen.
Thanks

My iPad has been reported stolen and is now locked.
