Remote unlock iPad Air to locate it
I need to remotely unlock IPad. I need who ever has stolen it to stay online long enough to locate.
Pleeeaaasssee help me
The iPad may be able to make an Internet connection without needing the thief's intervention. If it's a cellular iPad, it will connect automatically unless the owner had cell connection turned off before the iPad was stolen.
Regards.

Friends with their own ipads connected to my router experience similar non-availability of updated "My Location" when in my home.
So it seems to be a router issue rather than an iPad issue. However I have seen comment elsewhere that it may be because Apple's location database does not have my router location listed. I have no idea how authoritative a response this was, or simply a guess, and wonder if Apple themselves have confirmed this as an issue for them to address. If there are piles of routers out there which Apple don't recxognize the location of, it seems rather pointless a facility!
If anyone has resolved the problem by switching their routers to a different make/model I would be interested in their feedback.If you have the WiFi-only iPad your location is determined by the location of nearby WiFi routers. The WiFi-only iPad does not have GPS. Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing your router and then adding/updating the router's location in the database.
Bottom line: Your Router is probably not yet in the Apple location database. It hasn't been seen yet and added to the database. Without this your iPad cannot be located. Unfortunately, there is no way for users to request information to be added to Apple's database. -

Can I use iPad Air purchased in the US in Japan?
Hello,
I'm currently assisting a team of Japanese Engineers from Japan, who are here for less than 1 year project in the US.
Yesterday, my manager asked me to research & find SIM Free iPad Air to buy, but not with any carrier contract, and get a SIM Card to have Wi-Fi available in the US. Then when they finish the project, they will bring their iPad Air back to Japan and insert their Japanese SIM card to use WI-Fi there.
Is it possible? I have read so many related articles, my brain is about to explode with so many information, but not sure what's the FACT and what's LIE!
Can someone explain to me in plain English (or in Japanese), please?
By the way, here are some articles I have read...

Thank you for your help!Hi Courcoul,
Thank you very much for your help!
Here's our situation. We are in the satellite offices, meaning in the trailers, where we have wifi set up. But they will be walking into the construction site often, but I'm not sure if they would need internet connection there...
Now I just spoke with one of the team members who arrived from Japan yesterday WITH their iPad Air, and my manager was impressed with it (hence my manager wanted to have some for his onsite staff).
According to them, they won't be needing internet connection in teh construction zone, but just computer (data input or reference), then when they return to the offices, they will connect with the WiFi.
My dilenmma is that there are TWO version sold in the US:
1. with Built-in Wi-Fi(802.11a/b/g/n) with MIMO support
2. with Wi-Fi+Cellure
And he does want the option to insert SIM cards when they return Japan, but doesn't want to sign up with any US carrier...
Does it make sense? Which one should they choose???
Thank you! -

Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.

Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

Can I possibly install FaceTime on my iPad air that bought from UAE here at my present location Philippines?
It's too late for to realize that what I bought from Apple UAE does not have installed FaceTime application. Since I am already now in my home country Philippines, Could I possibly download it (FaceTime) here in my present location Philippines?FaceTime was by demand of the UAE government blocked in the iPad's hardware. As stedman said, there's no way you can activate FaceTime now.

You are mistaking a capability to connect to a cell data network (for connection to the Internet) with the ability to make phone calls. As stedman has said, the iPad is not a phone and cannot make phone calls directly. You would need to use one of the voice-over-IP solutions such as Viber, which Diavonex mentioned below, or Skype.

My iPad Air has the latest software version(iOS 7.1.2) update, since that update the location services have stopped working. have a solution?
I have had the same problem, so many apps do not work properly without it! Apple says the internet satellite, the Internet satellite says Apple, back and forth with the blame instead of fixing the problem. Have turned location on and off, reset everything multiple times ( lots of hours and bandwidth to download ), Siri is now working part time, I guess she has cut back her hours for the summer. Even in these forums was suggested to check with Skyhook who does the global positioning, and after hours with them, they ended up saying that they have nothing to do with it anymore, Apple does. All to no avail and much frustration! I wonder if this is happening with the iPhone's? i'd like to know if this is happening with others that do not use satellite as their ISP? That would help narrow down the argument with Apple vs. satellite. Fell for you! Someone please help us! Ta

Do you have to unlock your iPad Air (Cellular) to use it internationally?
I want to take my iPad Air (Cellular) overseas (Japan) and buy cellular so I can use it there. How does this work? Do I need to have it "unlocked" before I can do this or can I just buy SIM cards there when I get to Japan?
Thanks in advance and pardon the tech ignorance!Hi LBSnell,
