TS3988 Can I track my lost ipad

Can you really track a lost or stolen Ipad from my PC?

If you had an iCloud account on it, and the find my iPad setting enabled, you might be able to.
Open a web browser and login to your iCloud account (www.iCloud.com) and see if it shows up in the location app there.
The iPad will need to be on a data network for it to be trackable - wifi or cellular does not matter, but tracking is done with an internet data connection between the device and Apple servers - no data connection and it will show as off line.
In iOS 7, find my iPad would also have enabled Activation Lock. So even if someone wipes the device, they cannot activate and use it without your AppleID and password.

How can we track the lost iPad by Serial number or IMEI, MEID?

Hello
I lost my iPad Air WiFi CELL 128GB Silver ATT (No ATT Service) and accidentally did not turn lost my iPad and also erased my iPad and now I could not use find my iPad any more. Do we have any web site or app to track the iPad by serial number or IMEI, or MEID? Anyone please help.

Sorry to hear it but unfortunately it can't be tracked this way, you can only have At&t block service to it and submit the serials to law enforcement in case it was stolen and somebody tries to take it to a pawn shop. See Apple's support article:
If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your missing device
If you didn't turn on Find My iPhone before your device was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate your device. However, you can use these steps to help protect your data:
Change your Apple ID password. By changing your Apple ID password you can prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your missing device.
Change the passwords for other internet accounts on your device. This could include email accounts, Facebook, or Twitter.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement. Law enforcement might request the serial number of your device. Find your serial number:
On the original box or receipt
On My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) if you registered your device with your Apple ID
Report your lost or stolen device to your wireless carrier. Your carrier can disable the account, preventing phone calls, texts, and data use.
Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.

Can I track my Lost iPad

iPad2 is lost or stolen.
It won't update its position via Find my iPhone app, anywhere the history of the last few positions of it might be stored for me to see where I last had it, in case its just lost?
Thanks.

If the lost device is turned off or has no wifi connection, then you won't be able to track it. If stolen, it could have been wiped by the thief or had the find my iPhone service turned off by him/her.

It will only show if the device is turned on. And if someone else has it, they can turn that feature off. Your best options are to return to the location where you think you lost it, and see if anyone returned it. Also contact your local law enforcement.

Is there any way that apple can locate/track a lost iPhone? The tracker wasn't set up and switched on.

Can I track a lost iPhone without having set up and turned on the tracker on iclouds?

Many thanks!

No Apple won't be able to track it.

How do i trace or track my lost Ipad?

how do i track my stolen Ipad

If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, wiped of its data or locked (which does the same thing as activating the screen lock), though it depends on a number of factors: the iPad is turned on, is connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service turned off or the iPad completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section.
If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Report the loss the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

How can i track my lost iphone 4s ?

i lost my iphone 4s in a club
and i got lots of pictures and videos on my iphone
and i need all my contacts in there
is there any way to find it ?
i tried icloud but its always offline
and i lost my iphone 4 too
it has no sim card in there i only use that for playing music and playing games
anyone can help me find my two iphones?
and i cant get a new one because those two iphones is still under contract in my carrier SOFTBANK here in Japan

If Find my Phone wasn't activated in your phones, you can't track them. If FMP WAS activated, all the thief has to do is turn the phone off or remove the SIM and you lose the ability to track the phone.
Unfortunately, sounds like your phones are gone for good. Sounds like if you lost 2 phones, you should really reconsider whether or not you should be owning such expensive phones in the first place.

Can I track course/delegate iPads and wirelessly install apps?

Hello all,
I work in an institution where we deploy 80 iPads a day to delegates for the duration of their stay with us.
At the moment, we are unable to find a suitable location tracking solution, for when the iPads go wandering. As you can guess, we have had a couple over the years go missing, but have been fortunate it has only been a couple.
For our staff devices(not limited to iPads) we use Systems Manager/Meraki. But there are serveral reasons why we cannot use this for our delegate. I will detail some of them below:
We deploy the iPads day to day, using Configurator to wipe and load them, ready for the next person, this clears the enrollment settings, meaning we would spend hours each morning getting the devices enrolled as we would have to repeat this for each person
The location tracking is inadequate, as it tracks by IP, not giving us a realistic picture of where the iPads are when trying to find them
The beta location tracking feature is only a beta and we would need something reliable long term and short term
As all of the devices are 'supervised' we would preferably like a solution which could be used with Configurator.
Finally, we would like to be able to push out apps wirelessly to the devices on our network, this would be useful for last minute requests. We currently don't have anything in place for this and wondered if others are having the same issue, or have a good solution.
Thank you in advance for your help.
iPad info and software
80x iPad 4's
iOS 8.1
Apple Configurator 1.7
Meraki Systems Manager (Free)
Kind regards,
Darren

Maybe you should check with AirWatch
If you want additional features that the application provides such as GPS tracking, telecom collection, and compromised detection, it is recommended that you push the AirWatch MDM Agent as a public application through the console. You will be prompted to install this application, as usual behavior after enrollment, once completing the Setup Assistant.
Here is what Apple says is possible. It lets you display the location of the ipad if it is network connected. If you secure you ipad, the mdm acts as a replacement for the activation lock.
