My iPad2 does not show it's position on a map when using find my iPad on mobile me

Installed find my iPhone on my iPad2 and my iPhone 4 however the iPad will not show up on a map whereas the iPhone does. iPad is wifi only and is connected to my wireless network. I have registered and even sent test notification to the iPad which all worked OK. Any ideas anyone?

The information has to get from the iPad to the server somehow. It has to connect to the network. The network knows nothing about the iPad and the Find my iPhone service.
Here's a scenario. A thief steals a WiFi iPad. He is not going to stay where he found it. He is going to leave a registered network.  Perhaps he is in a car, on a bus, or on a train. Find my iPhone will not find the iPad. There are no registered networks in range. He gets it home. There's a passcode lock. It still won't connect to his WiFi network. He has to erase the device so he can access it. No more Find my iPhone.
But here's another scenario. I can't find my WiFi iPad. I check Find my iPhone. It locates it at my friend's place where I left it.
So Find my iPhone does have a use for a WiFi iPad but not as much as for one with 3G.

  • After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

    After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

    Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
    The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
    By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
    And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
    So this is solved.

    Download it again, don't install again and the file (Lion Installer.app) will be in your applications folder.
    It is deleted after installation, that's why it can't be found.

  • HT4259 Airport Utility 6.1 does note show "extend wireless network" option.  How do I find the feature

    I have an airport extreme and the utility is 6.1.  I also have an airport express.  I'd like to use the airport express to extend the WiFi.  The "extend the wireless network" option does not show up in the Airport Utility 6.1.  How do I go about finding that option?  Is it something that doesn't need to be checked in Airport Utility 6.1?

    I'm having the same issuse, the only work around I have found is by using an older version of airport utility

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4S does not show ringer bar and i now need to use ear phones to listen to music

    My iphone 4s is not showing ringer bar and i cant listen to music without earphones

    Hey chirambab,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s in regards to audio.
    The following resource may provide a solution:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
              - Try turning off Bluetooth.
              - If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    7. Restart the iPhone.
    8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
    If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT1386 My Iphone has stopped importing new photos to my computer when I connect and does not show a photos option under the device when in itunes.  I don't have any access to the photos except directly through the phone.

    It seems after my latest upgrade that my phone has stopped importing new photos and vids when I link up to my computer.  It always would ask me if I wanted to tag new photos and then would import to computer.  Now it does not and when I am in Itunes the options under my device does not include photos so i can't even import them manually.  Any ideas on what is up?

    iTunes doesn't import photos from your device, in only syncs photos from your computer to your device. 
    You may need to adjust your autoplay settings as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 (except to enable digital camera notification, not disable it) in order to restore automatic prompts to import photos.

  • My new ipad2 does not show any apps

    I have turned my new ipad2 on, downloaded itunes, clicked on WiFi, but I get nothing except a diagram showing the itune connection. What am I doing wrong?

    You really didn't tell us what you did, but it appears you did not connect your iPad to your computer via the supplied USB cable.  If you have the latest version of iTunes, once connected, iTunes walks you through the necessary steps to activate your iPad. 

  • IPad2 does not show itunes screen to allow photo add

    I have not been able to use the "home" iTunes screen to recover or upload and photos stored on my PC. I get the apples ITunes screen but not the Photos Tab
    In settings the Photos tab is set up correctly. The main home screen has a Photo Icon but clicking on that takes me to a very limited selection of pictures. I used to have a large number of photos to view now only a few about 13 are shown. I am not able to sync as the page with the sync button is not available.

    Check that in the area where your iPad is supposed to show up, and click the little arrow that is there. Maybe it will turn up again.

  • HT4623 my ipad2 does not show an update icon

    ho do i update my ios?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • IPod does not show up in iTunes or My Computer when its plugged in

    I've tried several iPods (all 5th gen 30gig) on my system. The first one I tried worked fine (but sadly wasn't mine!), but none of the others tried since have ever worked, even though they work on other systems.
    The problem is that when I plug the iPod in neither iTunes nor My Computer sees the iPod. The PC knows it's there because the iPod shows up under "Other Devices" in Device Manager. (On a system where the iPod is working properly it shows up as a Disk Drive in Device Manager, by the way.)
    I've tried all the fixes on the Apple support site, working my way through the relevant piece (61711) on the Apple knowledge base. I've also upgraded to iTunes 7 and read the new stuff on similar problems encountered by some people upgrading and tried the fix just posted on the front page of the Apple support site but it didn't work (I got this problem long before upgrading to v7, so I guess it wasn't aimed at my issue.)
    Any ideas?
    Oh and I ran the iTunes diagnostics tool and it generated all this stuff below, which might be relevant - who knows?
