Stolen iPad (check before buying a 2nd Hand iPad)

We lost an iPad today (4/12/12), apparently picked up by a guy in the Dressing Room @ Myth Store,(Philippines) at around 5PM. The guy is likely a companion or bodyguard of a lady who transacted in the same store named Elizabeth XX.
Stolen iPad details are as follows:
     iPad-1 64Gb 3G (model A1337)
     Serial# V5******ETV
     IMEI
So if found or offered for sale, it's best reported or returned to its rightful owner.
- Thanks!

You need a Blackberry dataplan for your device. Otherwise, you will only be able to do Phone + SMS.
contact your carrier and ask them what they can sell you.
your carrier will give you a BIS account. Then, you can use any email address to connect to your BlackBerry device. You can get a BlackBerry email address but it has less features than a regular email address on GMail ot Yahoo!Mail or Hotmail.

  • New camcorder- final check before buying

    An earlier thread helped me to decide which model to choose. I have settled on a Sony DCR-HC94E. ("E" is for "European".) It is said that FCE is picky about what cameras it will recognise. Therefore, the following are those parts of its spec. which I have detected from this forum as being important to satisfy FCE, and a few other features which suit my requirements. If anyone notices anything inadvisable, please shout. Thanks. Please note that I am not a professional and have not gone for a three-chip machine nor HD, on cost grounds.
    Required by FSE:
    Firewire. Actually, Sony’s iLink which is said to be Firewire although it has only 4 pins whereas Apple’s implementation has 6, the added two being for power. Sony tell me that when capturing, their camera must be connected to the mains and the four Firewire pins handle the data without trouble.
    However, another point concerns page 15 of FCE’s “Getting Started”, which refers to “Apple Firewire” (the default) and “Apple Firewire Basic”, which “is a simplified device control protocol for camcorders and decks that aren’t compatible with the full Apple Firewire set. Using this protocol doesn’t affect the quality of the captured video or audio.” I am assuming that this is the same point above concerning 4/6 pins and that FCE will be happy if it turns out that the Sony iLink uses “Apple Firewire Basic”. Correct?
    And that I will have Device Control?
    In Easy Setup, should I select "Firewire Basic"?
    The camcorder comes with a driver for the Mac, which provides for capture (presumably Device Control via FCE’s “Capture now” button).
    DV, not MPEG.. whatsit.
    miniDV tape cassette, not DVD, Hard Drive nor Solid state.
    DV out. No DV in because, as I understand it, DV in is used for archiving video on to miniDV tape and I don’t think I would want that – I plan to archive videos on DVD as QT movies.
    Sony say that the DCR-HC94E stripes a digital timecode on to the tape. I believe that FCE needs this.
    Other Features (extract):
    The chip is physically 16:9 and all its pixels are used in forming a 16:9 frame. If used in 4:3 mode, the pixels to the left and right are not used. I think that this is True Widescreen and not one of the compromise ways of achieving it by, eg., compression and subsequent expansion.
    3.3 Megapixels “Advanced HAD CCD”.
    10 times zoom (I would have liked more, but that’s life).
    Manual focus, and full-range auto focus, White Balance (“Auto, Outdoor, Indoor, One-push”).
    “Super SteadyShot”. (That is, anti-wobble control.) Electronic.
    2.7 inch viewfinder LCD panel, 123,200 pixels
    Low light performance - “Min. Illumination = 5 lux”.
    Battery runtime = 2 hours.
    No external mike (pity).
    It is remarkably small. “What Digital Camcorder”, issue 77, has a praising review of the next model up (DCR-HC96E), the only difference being that the 96E has DV in.
    Thanks for any observations before I plunge into my wallet and let the moths out.

    Tom, Martin and Ian:Re. DV in etc. Thanks.
    Being an amateur, (and beginner in video editing) my videos will, I think, be family movies; editing a 50-year old 8 mm cine film converted by a video lab to a PAL DVD, which I have nearly finished; and probably making videos of the country district where I live for depositing at the county library for future use, perhaps 100 years from now (if human civilisation survives that long which I doubt); and possibly some simple training videos. I am not planning on making artistic movies.
    What I have been doing (so far only with the converted cine) is to edit it, export it as a QT file and use Toast (Roxio) to burn to DVD as the distribution version. (Toast also allows "burning" to a Disc Image, for checking before wasting DVD-Rs). I then check the DVD on a stand-alone DVD player and a domestic TV. I am assuming that all my efforts will likely follow that route.
    Tom (and others) said:
    "You want DV in. It lets you record your finished movie back to tape."
    But why would I want to do that? Archiving? But is minDV tape so long-lasting? DVDs may not last more than 20 years and will need refreshing (re-recording on current media) which decendants won't do but that's another story. To view and check the finished video? But wouldn't my method (QT, DVD player, TV, described above) do that for me? To dub from a TV broadcast or to transfer to VCR tape via A/V? I have a combo VCR/DVD set-top video recorder which can do both of those (in the second case by dubbing from the above-mantioned distribution DVD).And VCR tape is on the way out, at least in the UK (Dixons no longer sell tape or tape-based VCRs) but of course peoples' tape VCRs will remain working for, say, 10 years.
    On the lack of an external mike, its a budget thing. Sony Centre said that the only detectable camera noise would be if the ambient sound was very low and as a result the gain was increased. But hopefully I could add a suitable ambient audio track as a sound bed (Tom's book, page 132) to drown it - music, general ambient, sheep.
    I'm probably wrong, but not too proud to be corrected.
    Meteorites, hmmm... As a pessiminst, they worry me, but hopefully I will be dead before one strikes!

    The Activation Lock can't be bypassed. Unless you're able to contact the previous owner(or they later remove the lock themselves), it's useless to you.

  • Bluetooth Compatibility check before buying Nokia

    If you are thinking of buying a Nokia and want it so you can use the Bluetooth in your car first check your radio BT.
    If its a parrot (the bluetooth option in it) then check this page for compatibility first.
     http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/onlinehelpguides/parrot-rki8400/compatibility/?idproduct=59&idbrand...
    I can't guarantee it will still work (parrot/nokia pairing is not reliable) but it's a start.

  • 2nd hand unlocked iPhone to use with Vaya mobile

    I am thinking of buying a 2nd hand unlocked iPhone on eBay which I would want to use with Vaya mobile in Australia, which is not my current provider (it's TPG but they don't have good deals on data). Would there be any problems with this? I've heard iPhones use a different SIM so does this mean it can only be used with limited providers? Thank you.

    If you are buying a second hand iPhone read what the seller have to do besides officially unlocking iPhone from the carrier.

  • 2nd Hand Software - Final Cut Express 3.5

    I couldn't find where to put this question so, I'll stick in here...
    Does anyone know of any cavaets or 'gotchas' when buying 2nd hand software from somebody?
    Apart from the obvious (original boxed dics, doumentation, serial numbers and any software installation keys as a minimum), is there some prodedure that the seller should go through with Apple to inform them that the piece of software in question is changing hands??
    I'm intrigued cause I believe that Adobe insist on forms being filled out etc. otherwise you can't re-register the software, but if I were to consider buying a 2nd hand copy of FCEHD3.5 then I'd want to know it was all above board and not pirate software.
    Thanks!
    Luke

    For a start, Apple will never know that FCE software has changed hands until you register it - and you don't need to register it.
    However, if you do register it, I don't believe there will be any problems.
    Adobe is quite different. With Photoshop you have to get their clearance and a "key" to even move it to a new computer of your own!
    So I think you have got all the necessary "watch out for" points covered.

  • 2nd hand ipad not showing as associated device on itunes

    Hi All,
    I bought a 2nd hand Ipad a couple of weeks ago from a shop (all legit). As I'm pretty useless with all things tech they synced most of my pics/vids and music from my Iphone using their computer in-store.  As my Iphone has more space than the I pad, I bought extra ICloud storage (not realising that this wouldn't create more space in the Ipad - told you I'm stupid when it comes to tech stuff!).
    Anyway, after spending saving my pics,vids and music to an external hard drive via Itunes, I then synced my favourites to my Ipad to give me more space. I first noticed that there was a problem when trying to play some of my songs, it would say "this device is already associated an an apple I.d.. if you download past purchases with your id you cannot automatically download past purchases with a different id for 90 days".
    Two issues with this.. The first being that the songs it is saying this for were NEVER purchased from Itunes - they were ripped from c.d's onto my Itunes library (and have always played ok on my Iphone and Ipod shuffle).  Secondly, I have only ever had/used one apple i.d for my computer, Iphone, Ipod shuffle and now this Ipad.  The Ipad has been fine using my apple i.d for everything else.. ie, apps, Itunes store and also buying extra i.cloud storage, so I'm not sure why it is viewing it as a different i.d?
    After looking on my Itunes account I noticed that under "manage devices" it is only showing my Iphone and computer as an associated device (I'm not too bothered that it doesn't show my Ipod shuffle because I only sync my music occasionally on that). Is this because it's second hand, and if so what can I do about it? Although I bought this primarily so I can view my pics and home vids on a larger screen than my phone, I don't want to worry about losing music from Itunes if it's viewing my Ipad as belonging to someone else, or an authorised device etc. By the way, the shop I bought the Ipad from is legit, they ask for proof of ownership before buying anything - this Ipad was one someone received free as part of a phone upgrade before selling it so it can't be an issue with being blocked etc.
    Thanks - any help and/or advice on how I can sort this out would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for replying Ralph,,
    I just tried that - still no difference. Ipad not showing up as an associated device on itunes, and on my Ipad when I try to turn automatic downloads on it comes up with the same message.. already associated with an apple ID.. 90 days etc etc.
    It makes no sense as the extra icloud storage (and the money they've taken from me to pay for it) has been done using this ipad, my usual apple id and payment details and has been synced to my itunes account (which is associated with my id and authorised). If you have any other ideas (or alternatively know which dept I should contact in Apple) I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks :-)

  • Buying a sencond hand iPad

    Dear all,

  • Buying a second hand iPad 2. What should I look out for?

    Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm buying a second hand unlocked Ipad 2 (It wasnt bought unlocked), Is there anything in particular i should be wary of before buying. I'm buying this from a friend so i have the chance to physically look at it before buying? Its over a year old so, but can i still get some kind of apple care?
    Also i've read that iPads arent locked to specific networks? But my friend tells me he had to unlock it to use his GiffGaff simcard..
    Thanks in Advance

    I can't comment on the cellular. HOwever make sure that iPad isn't still linked to the original owner's apple ID or you'll buy a brick.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
    explains what the activation lock is and if the original owner's Apple ID is still on there or they can't give it to you, then don't buy it. Because it can't be unlocked.

  • HT5625 how do I start a 2nd hand ipad

    Have acquired a 2nd hand ipad which has been cleared. However when I try to start it all I get is "slide to begin set-up" - I select English and then there is nothing else - what am I doing wrong?

    If you have a second-hand MacBook Pro, you're posting in the wrong forum; this is for Classic Mac OS users (system 7, 8 and 9).
    Aside from that, why didn't you get the original discs with that MacBook Pro? The seller surely has them (or should have them), and they're obligated to provide everything that came with the computer to you if they sell it. If they lost them, then you'd need to contact Apple and give them your serial number for that MacBook Pro and pay a nominal fee for a replacement set of original discs. The same would apply for any other Macs you own wherre you don't have the original installation discs anymore.
    Check this document for the phone number to contact Apple in your country: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Buying 2nd hand iPhone 3GS. How can I tell it's not a 3G?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but never had/used an iPhone before. Thinking about buying a second hand iPhone 3GS.
    How can I tell if it's a 8gb, 16gb or 32gb and how can I tell it's not an iPhone 3G?
    Thanks

    Spiface,
    If you can get a look at the back of the phone, here are some things to look for:
    Is the Writing on the back of the phone in Silver or in Grey?
    If it is Silver, then it is a 3GS.
    16GB and 32GB models have the storage capacity printed on their backs. The current 8GB model does not have any storage capacity printed on its back, although you can still identify it as a 3GS if it has silver print.
    Hope this helps,
    David
