My ipad 3G was stolen today. I have activated Find my device but device.is offline. The device is password proected. If I dont wipe the drive and the thief attempts to restore it to factory settings by connecting to itunes on another computer, will the cloud find the device when it is turned on?

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.

Mu ipad was stolen today and i want to view icloud backup for today. Can i do this?

My ipad was stolen today. It is not showing up on iCloud. Can i view iCloud backup for today? If so how?

Try resetting the Winsock key. You will have to locate Command Prompt in Windows 8 (in Windows 7 its in Start>All Programs>Accessories), then right-click on it and choose Run as Administrator.** Once in command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then restart your PC and see if you can sign in now.
** I saw in another post that to run Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows 8 you do the following:
Go to the Start menu
Press the Windows logo key + Z to open the app commands.
Press Enter to select 'All apps'.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the 'Command Prompt' tile.
Press the Application key to bring up the app commands.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to 'Run as administrator' and press Enter. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

My Ipad was stolen today. How do I block it? It does not seem like I have icloud activated.

My Ipad was stolen. Where do I go on the Apple website to list it as stolen??
I do not know what the serial number is.

If you didn't have iCloud set up and have Find My iPad activated, there is no way to block it. Have a look at this.

HT4890 My ipad was stolen. How can I activate the location device using my computer ?

My ipad was stolen today.
How can I switch on the location device from a remote location such as my computer, to help me locate where it is ?
Im also trying to view my 'Notes' which I made on the ipad, but I cant get to them online.
Ive locked it from my computer - what does this mean ?
Can the person that stole it still turn it on with no apps or programs working ?
What if he guesses the 4 digit passcode which I created, can I change it ?
Any help would be appreciated.

How can I get the gps coordinates on my ipad which was stolen today?

My ipad was stolen today, how can I get the gps coordinates to report to the sherriff?

If Find My iPhone (iPad) was turned on on your iPad and the iPad is on and connected to the Internet you will be able to locate it. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID and password. If the device is off or not connected to the Internet you can send a signal to lock or erase the iPad but that action will not complete until the iPad is connected to the Internet.
If you did not have find my iPhone turned on there is no way to track your iPad.

My i phone 4S was stolen today. How do I recover my photos from i cloud?

I need help retrieving my photos from my phone. My phone was stolen today. Can someone help me?

Restoring your iCloud backup to another iPhone would recover photos that were in the camera roll when it was last backed up. If you are able to set up iCloud on your computer, enabling photo stream would recover photo stream photos from the last 30 days. This article explains how to set up iCloud on your computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

My personal info and pics are in it and they are probably gonna blakmail me eventhough I don't know them please report this in for me.

If you have a iCloud account set up you may be able to disable it, I'm not entirely sure about the earlier iPods. Even a poor thief will have already changed your settings. You can report it as stolen and change all passwords associated with this iPod to prevent a thief from accessing your accounts, computer, etc. As for the blackmail stuff, be careful what you have on your devices! Nothing is that secure. Good luck.

I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

Can I load the information from my iCloud account that was backed up earlier this year to a new device since my iPad was stolen?

Yes you can. iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud

Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number, IMEI, and possibly the MEID.
The manufacturer ID will not help you locate the iPad, though. If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPad is turned on, connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service disabled or the iPad been completely restored).
If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.
