To find stolen ipad
How do I find my stolen Ipad3 with WiFI only. I could not trace it from ICloud.
When you say "I could not trace it from iCloud", I assume you mean you had set up "Find my iPad" and tried tracking it using Find my IPad but failed.
Keep trying. Also, you should immediately notify the authorities.

Finding stolen iPad using serial number
My iPad 1 was stolen in September. I tried using MobileMe, but because it was the simple WiFi version, MobileMe couldn't find it. I had an unlock password set up, so the thief probably did a full reset of the iPad to use it. In any case, when everything moved to iCloud, my iPad did not follow and I was told by a tech that it won't, so I have no way of using MobileMe to find my iPad now.
That being said, can't Apple notify me if someone tries to register an iPad with my serial number? Parenthetically, I get 2-10 emails a week about trying to reset my Apple ID password; is it possible the thief is trying to get my ID? (I'll go ask that Q in the appropriate forum later.)
Cheers,
dHi Dave, thanks.
You'd think that since Apple automatically 'sees' the serial number when the device is plugged in, they could use this info. Oh well.
And yeah, don't you worry, all my passwords were changed that very evening. I was on a plane for eight hours after I noticed my iPad wasn't in my bag and I was paranoid that I'd land and find everything had been hacked! But this continuous stream of Apple ID emails is still making me nervous, even if it does try to reassure you with the "If you didn't ask to reset this password, don't worry!" message. When you get two a day daily for two weeks, it does make you worry, ok Apple?!
Never getting another iPad ever again... too much anxiety and hassle and no ROI, even before it was stolen! Sticking to my iPhone and BOOKS!
Cheers!

My girlfriend has lost her iPad and I'm trying to help her locate it. She has the Cloud and Find My iPhone, which is working fine, but I'm not sure if we can add her iPad remotely. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thx-

How to Find Your iPad Serial Number
http://www.ipadastic.com/tutorials/how-to-find-your-ipad-serial-number
Cheers, Tom -
Hi my IPad was stolen today from my RV in Mexico. I havent activated ICloud or Find My Ipad. I am trying to report it stolen on line, but have not been able to do much yet. I have emailed to my home in Canada, asking people to look for my serial numbers.
Hi, i have just had my IPad stolen, last night. I am in Mexico, and didnt have my access password activated. I dont have my serial numbers yet, tho I am having people at home in Canada look for them. Unfortunately I did not set up ICloud, or Find My IPad on my devise. I don't have any other computer or devise. I am using my friends Apple computer now.
So some questions...
if I send you my Apple Id, and my passoword, can you do anything to help me... find my IPad?..., or lock it?... or at least report it stolen?
Would setting up I Cloud on my friends computer be of assistance at this late date.??
Thank you so much
Do you have another other suggestions?

Apple ID on my Ipad: [email protected]You are out of luck, then. You cannot track it, Apple cannot help you (btw, this is not Apple here.) You can't set up Find My Phone after the iPad is gone.
Notify the police. Change all your passwords. Buy a new iPad.
Perhaps your insurance will cover the loss for you, so speak with your insurance agent. -
My Ipad (and backpack, laptop, & other stuff) was stolen at the Portland Oregon Airport at 1:30 PM on 2/27/12.
unfortunately I had not turned on the Find My Ipad function. I do have the serial number and the IMEI number (although I never enabled the 3g function).
Is there any way to locate or track this?
Earlier discussions suggest this can't be done, but I have registred the laptop with Apple.No.
Apple are not in the business of tracing your stolen iPad, any more than the manufacturer of your car will trace that if stolen.
Tell your service provider (now, before the thief spends a few thousand on international calls....), the police and your insurer. -

If you registered it with Apple check your registered items at Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases. Also, see iOS- How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number.
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:

Can I get the IP address of my stolen iPad through find my iPad?
Hi. My iPad was very recently stolen when my house was burglarized. I have find my iPad turned on and marked the device as lost. Earlier, the iPad was located and the general location was sent to me. Unfortunately, the person who stole it turned it back off as soon as they saw that it was remotely locked (this is a huge problem to me, as a remotely locked device shouldn't be able to be so easily switched off). I told the police where it was located, but it wasn't on long enough to give me an exact location. So, they will not issue a warrant because it could be in one of about 4-5 houses.
Does anyone know of a way I can get the ip address that was used when the device reported it's location via find my iPad? If I have that, then we can get a warrant and get the police to look for it. It seems like this should be available, as the device was marked as lost under find my iPad. I just can't seem to find the info anywhere on the site.
If you have any advice, please help.You don't need to know the remote IP if you have your PPP setup correctly. Check this site out.

I had my ipad air stolen and tried using the "find my ipad app" only to realize it won't even track it unless it it hooked to wi-fi! I am sure thieves figure out how to use it even with my pass code on. Is there ANY thing else that can b done to track it? Serial number possibly? Please please anyone with info please help!
No, there is no other way to track it. If you have a pass code set and are using iOS 7.x.x then the thieves simply have a bricked iPhone that is useless to them.

Why isn't the "Find My iPad", "Find My Mac", etc. feature not automatically enabled in the iCloud Settings on every device? My iPad was stolen a couple days ago and it's been showing Offline under "Find My iPhone" feature so I started doing some research. Come to find out "Find My iPad" has to be enabled under the PRIVACY button in SETTINGS. I never knew that!!! That feature is highly needed for Apple products so can some explain why it's not already enabled on every device and actually has to be turned ON from the OFF position and not the other way around? Now some lucky person has stolen my iPad and I can't locate it because Apple wanted to give me the choice to enable it once it was already ******* stolen!
Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.

How i can track this ipad
Hello Sebastiangavel,
It sounds like your iPad was stolen and you would like information about using Find my iPad that you had set up before hand. Here is an article about using that function:
iCloud: Locate your device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2698?viewlocale=en_US
Also with regard to the iPad being stolen, I would look at the information in the following article about what to do in this situation:
What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.
If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
