My ipad was stolen without the find your ipad app. is there no way to shut it down or trace ip address?

sol i guess..........

Hopefull you have the Serial Number. Give the S/N to the police. It will help if someone tries to pawn.
Without Find My iPad or password required, someone can easily erase all your files/pps & your unique info.

  • My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the person who has stolen my macbook logs out of iCloud.
    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

  • My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them?

    My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

    What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

  • Can you locate your iPad 2 without the find my iPhone app?

    My iPad 2 doesn't have the find my iPhone app and now i've lost it. Is there any other way to locate it? Please help!!

    No.
    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.

  • My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it!  Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them?  TIA

    Sorry marcia,
    There is no way to tell what activity went on on your device when it was out of your hands.

  • Does anyone know how to find my iPhone without the Find My iPhone app?

    Hi, I lost my iPhone Friday night. Ironic I know, Friday the 13th, who coulda had worse luck. Every person I ask what to do, tells me I should use the Find My iPhone app. BUT ITS RUBISH. IT DOES NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. WHOEVER INVENTED IT DID NOT ACCOMMODATE FOR IF THE PHONE WAS STOLEN OR LOST WHEN IT WAS SWITCHED OFF. Its obviously locked via passcode and lost mode on Find My iPhone but really anyone can bypass it or restore the phone which is what worries me because once they do that there is no way of finding it since the phone is only traceable through iCloud in partner with my apple ID. So thanks whoever invented Find My iPhone. It was just further confirmation that any chances of actually finding my iPhone are non-existent.
    And I believe Apple has a way to find it via the 982149810 different kinds of product codes such as the serial number or the IMEI number but they choose not to, A) because they do not want to bother themselves and B) because they'd rather have you pay full ******* price for a brand new one. Which I'm not going to do. That phone has restricted and confidential material on it and it needs to be found NOW.
    There must be a way to locate the phone. I've heard of ways that the police has worked side by side with carrier companies to track it. Unfortunately I cannot do that because I purchased an originally unlocked cell phone at full retail price from the Apple store itself. I know there is a way to find it. There has to be. Also, I heard that an Apple Certified Mac Technician can help find it. Does anyone know the number of any here in Canada? Prefferably the GTA? Please help me out.
    Thank you.
    P.S. If I never find my iPhone, I'm switching to Android. They have an app that helps you find the phone even if its switched off and an app for after it gets stolen. Meaning it doesn't have to be installed in the phone before it was stolen. BECAUSE THEY ARE SMART AND CONSIDER ALL OCCASIONS. LEARN FROM YOUR COMPETITORS APPLE. ADIOS APPLE.

    There is no way to remotely track any device that is turned off, or does not have an internet data connection.  In that case, no remote system can possible communicate with the device, nor the device send any information to any remote server.  Any device, not merely an iPhone, shares that same limitation.  Remote tracking is only possible if the device and the tracking system can talk to eachother.
    Apple does not offer any other feature because they are not a law enforcement agency.  They are bound by the same privacy laws that keep you from snooping in somebody's house just because you claim they have something of yours.
    Of course there are alternate ways to track a powered on and connected cell phone, but Apple has neither the legal nor the moral authority to do such things.  Just because something is technically possible does not mean that any big company and just go out and do them.
    Since when is it always "someone else's" fault and responsibility to deal with your lost or stolen private property?  I don't get this mentality of passing either the blame or the responsibility on to someone else.

  • HOw can i locate a lost iphone without the "find my iphone" app

    MY daughter has lost her ipod 4g.  I previously was able to locate her via the find my iphone app, however, her ipod no longer shows up on my device list since its been gone.  Any suggestions?  Or should i just consider it gone forever?

    Change your 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 your bank or any 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.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • HT1349 is it possible to track an Iphone4 , without the find my iphone apps

    Is this possible to track iphone 4 without find my iphone application

    Yes, the "Find my iPhone" app does nothing to help a phone to be locatable - it is for locating another phone from yours.
    As long as you setup and activated the Find my iPhone service, the phone has power and a network connection and Location Services is turned on and the phone has not been restored, you should be able to track it.
    If not, then you cannot track your phone.

  • Is there a way to locate an iPhone without the 'Find my phone' app?

    I lost my phone this morning over a strip of 40 miles driving - phone was on roof. I did not already have the find my iPhone app on my phone and am wondering if there is an alternative way to locate the general location of my phone? Thank you.

    No way other than looking for it.

    My phone got stolen and I don't have "find my iphone" app, I need a way to track it down

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:

  • How to find a lost iPhone without the find my iPhone app ?

    i lost my iphone and need help finding it.However, idont have the find my iphone app

    If you enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost, you may be able to locate it on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If you didn't enable Find My iPhone on it before it was lost, there is no way to track it.  You'll have to try calling your number to see if anyone answers or physically look for it.

  • How can i find my phone without the find my iPhone app?

    i lost my iphone while going to a car my friends say that it might of dropped in the floor i said maybe in the car i checked everywhere in the car and i cant find it.
    My moms sim is in my phone we have the same number yet no one can call or send me a text. I dont think that i have a find my iphone app im not sure but when i downloaded it in my ipad and logged in i cant find my iphone in the devices.
    so what can i do to find my phone im in big trouble i need to find this phone i lost it at thursday 22/5/2014 I need a solution my mom says i need to find it because who ever stole it can waste her money in her phone sim account

    Your only alternative to find the iPhone is to start looking for it just as you would for anything else. There is no way the web or anyone else can help you.
    Call the carrier and have her account on the iPhone disabled and then no one can usr it.

  • I am using a Hughes Satellite and I am having a problem with using all my bandwidth without even using my computer.  Is there a way to shut things off that I don't need running all the time in the background.

    I am using Hughes satellie for my internet provider.  I am having a problem using all my bandwidth each day.  Is there a way from using this bandwidth.  I am using even when I am not using my computer.  Is there a way to turn off things that are running in the background.

    It depends a lot on what you have installed and what apps you run. Here's a suggestion:  Get Little Snitch and see what processes are accessing your internet connection.
