Should I use screen lock with find my iPad.

Im using a wifi only iPad, so if it is lost or stolen the finder or thief will need to be able to access my iPad and connect to a wifi signal before I can track it. I therefore think I should not use keypad lock so that I can allow them

You don't have to use one, it's personal preference as to whether you use one or not - I use one on my iPad Mini as I prefer the feel of them compared to the glass screen, other people don't like or use them as they prefer the glass (and some screen protectors can affect the clarity of the screen). Depending upon where you will be using the iPad (e.g. if it's dusty or dirty) you may want one to give the screen a bit of extra protection.

  • Should i use screen protector on my iphone 6 plus or not?????

    should i use screen protector or not for my iphone 6 plus or not????

    On most of my iPhone's past, I didn't use one.  But I do have one on my iPhone 6.  There's more glass and since they now make screen protectors out of tempered glass with oleophobic coating, it seemed a good idea to protect the larger screen area.  6 Plus is even larger, with more glass.
    So ask yourself this.  Which would you be more upset about seeing a scratch on?  The iPhone screen itself, or a simple not very expensive, replaceable screen protector?

  • When upgrading the software my screen locked with image music connector with lights flashing how do I get out of this?

    I have a new latest apple tv.  I was asked do I want a software upgrade, when I said yes, after 5 minutes the screen locked with an image of a connector cable with music.
    I pulled the power, the hdmi and reconnected and it went back to the image on the screen.  the white light is flashing fast - does anyone know what to do?

    The update was interuppted. You will need to grab a micro usb cable and restore via iTunes

    You can also try Puffin or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, depending on the site(s) you need to view. All get mixed reviews, though.

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
    Instructions here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad >  Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
    And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
    Apple - Accessibility - OS X
    I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is  running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" >   System requirements for iCloud

  • Screen locked with voice over and zero value

    My ipad screen is locked with voice over and every time I put in my pass code it just repeats and says zero value.  How do I get into my ipad without having to loose all my data.  Have icloud backup but not sure if that is working properly.Frustrated!

    Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off'. You need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling e.g. to type a digit of your passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it, and then double-tap the digit to type it.
    Or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : select the iPad  in iTunes, select its Summary tab, scroll to the bottom of that and click the 'configure accessibility' button :
    And on the popup select 'none' for the 'seeing' option :
    Clicking 'ok' should turn it 'off' on your iPad

  • No screen lock with os4 !! reminds me of htc tilt !!!

    i have a major issue with the new software 4.0 seems they left out the screen lock option by pressing power button to lock the screen i always either hang up , put on hold or open a app while talking !! I'm very disappointed with apple i have many products and several phones at the price we are PAYING i would expect a better product

    I'm not sure what is "ridiculous".
    When on a call using the iPhone's earpiece - holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call, the iPhone includes a proximity sensor to automatically turn the screen off or lock the screen when doing so - there is no need to press the sleep/wake button while holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call. When pulling the iPhone away from your ear and face during a call to look at the screen and to use the iPhone for something else during the call or to hang up the call, etc., the screen turns back on. This is done automatically.

  • How can I use screen lock and auto-logout together?

    I'm managing a network of Macbook Pros at an elementary school and would like to use both the screen lock and automatic logout features together, but this does not seem to work for some reason.
    What I would like to happen:
    After 5 minutes: locked screen
    After 30 minutes: automatically logged out
    The automatic logout works when I don't have locked screen enabled, but once I turn on locked screen, the account never gets logged out. It does work if I only enable the screen saver to appear after 5 minutes. The computer isn't going to sleep so I'm not sure what is preventing the automatic logout.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

    You can use LabVIEWs UDP functions to communicate with SNMP devices. The tedious part is converting the MIB information into the required hex message.
    There is also a problem in using the UDP functions on port 161 (default SNMP port) if the Windows SNMP services is running.

  • Sflock: simple X screen locker with basic user feedback

    There are several applications out there that lock the X display. On the one side of the spectrum you have xscreensaver and xlockmore which provide screensavers and on the other side you have slock which provides nothing. sflock is an application that is built as an extension to slock, which provides very basic user feedback.
    The need for me arrived because I wanted a screen locker that was trustworthy and that looks ok. Because I have no interest in screensavers and the xscreensaver unlock screen is one of the most ugly things I have ever seen, I turned to slock. This works fine, but there is no real way to tell that the screen is locked.  You just type a password on a black screen and if it's correct, the screen gets unlocked. fslock (at least the first version) shows a line on the screen and displays asterisks for every character entered.
    The goal of the application is to be simple and small, but still look good. You can install sflock from the AUR under the name sflock-git or download it directly from github. Suggestions are of course welcome.

    I've been trying to get this to use Xft for rendering the fonts, but this is essentially my first time doing anything in C. Sflock builds properly but segfaults when I try to run it.

  • Need help with locating iPad with find my iPad app.. it was turned on this morning but won't show me the location.. why is this??

    Need help to find location of iPad using find my iPad app.. Sound was activated this morning but it won't give me the location.. How can I find it??

    Hello there Kylie,
    It sounds like your iPad is not showing in Find my iPad when you check it. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4006
    Device does not appear in Find My iPhone
    This can occur if:
    The date on your device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
    Your device is not up-to-date. It needs to be running iOS 5 or later.
    Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
    You have multiple iCloud accounts entered on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Only one account can have Find My iPhone turned on at a given time. Log in to Find My iPhone with your other iCloud accounts until your device is listed.
    There's a scheduled maintenance or another issue affecting Find My iPhone. Check the System Status site to see if this is the case.
    Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, enable and then disable Airplane mode. If you continue to have issues, turn the device off and back on.
    Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to the Internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
    Device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offlineThis can occur if:
    Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out. Note that the remaining battery for the device, if it's connected to the Internet, displays in the upper-right corner of the information pane of the selected device. You can still play a sound on, send a message to, issue a lock request, or initiate an erase of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The command will be received after the device is turned on and regains its Internet connection.
    Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider. If you contacted your service provider to report your device lost or stolen before locating your phone, and they deactivated your SIM card or account, this would be expected. If this is the case, you may no longer be able to locate, display a message on, or erase your iPhone. For more information, read about what to do if your device is lost or stolen.
    Your iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. You will still be able to request an erase, send a message to display and lock your device, or request that a sound be played. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • HT4623 Screen locks up while installing IPAD IOS 7

    I was prompted to update my Ipad IOS to IOS 7. I hit update and I follow the prompts on what to fo next. When the install got to the Terms & Conditions portions it froze up and will not go any further.  I have hit "I agree" many times but the screen is still locked on that screen shot.  In the backround I see another box that say "Find My IPad in IOS 7" but I cannot access it either.  I have tried shutting it off and turning back on and it keeps going back the the terms and agreement screenshot.  It will not let me access anything else on my IPad.
    Has anyone had this happen? Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    I see you are on widows.  Turn off your firewalls  and your antivirus and try agin.  There are a fair number of reports of windows machines getting stuck due to security stuff.  Once you get the update installed, you can turn them back on.

  • TS4006 ipad last last location with find my ipad app

    my find my ipad on icloud says it is on line but location off..last i saw this am that it was on

    You don't sound stupid to me at all.  Everybody has forgotten something of value or significance somewhere at some time or another.  It is no fun at all when it is something of this value and your chances of getting it back are so slim.
    I would really encourage you to use a passcode from the beginning with the next device though - it really is the only true security you have for your material on a mobile device.  Anything you can do after the fact is never as good as having the device secured beforehand.
    Also be sure to check with the airline in case you are lucky and it turns up in their lost and found (some airports and airlines actually have brick and mortar stores to sell all the stuff left behind and never claimed - there is a big one in Atlanta for example with everything from clothes to jewellery to golf clubs to cameras and laptops).
    Also check your home owners or renters insurance policy to see if they cover such items while traveling (mine does, but the deductable is also $500 I think).

  • Lost IPAD.  Has passcode.  Powered off and cellular off due to traveling out of country.  Is there any hope of locating through Icloud account with Find my IPAD app which I had installed?

    I left my IPAD on an airplane last night in the states.  It has a passcode and is registered through Icloud with the Find my IPAD app.  The IPAD is password protected.  It was powered down and cellular data was turned off because I was travelling out of the country.  Is there any chance of locating the IPAD through the Find my IPAD app since the WI-FI and cellular service is turned off?  Please help.

    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.
