True, but you first have to be able to track it, so you can subsequently wipe it if desired.
No you don't and if you give wipe command, cause command is available now, you will never track it since it will start wiping as soon as gets connected.
" My advice would be, IF it is trackable in iCloud at all, would be to wipe it once you have a current active location fix"
My advice would be different to activate lost mode and track it. But I prefer not to give advices, just inform of concequences.
"but then I'm more concerned about protecting my information than about the trivially small chance of recovering a lost or stolen device."
Lost mode will lock device and allow display message on the screen.

If your device is online, it locks and tracking begins (if applicable) immediately, and a confirmation email is sent to your Apple ID email address (the one you use with iCloud). If the device is a Mac, it restarts before it’s locked. If the device is offline, the lock and tracking (if applicable) take effect the next time it’s online.

    If you did not backup your iPad, your photos are gone forever.

  • HT4759 Hi, I just lost my IPad...Is there a way of tracing it?

    Hi, I just lost my IPad...Is there a way of tracing it?

    Yes. Read iCloud: Locate your device

  • I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
    Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
    If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
    In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

    A few months ago as my laptop didn't seem as reliable so i uploaded all the pics onto my ipad from my laptop, it was today where i thought i will upload more from my phone onto the mac then onto my ipad but insted it overwrote all the pics on my ipad.
    I had tried to do the back up and it didnt work the photos were lost.

    Try restore iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Backup before you do it.
    Just tried this...did not work. Resolution is still horrible. This is not an issue of it just not looking smooth or sharp.  It's so much worse than that.  It was actually fine right after the update.  The next morning when I turned it on it was messed up.

  • I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications

    I have just upgraded my Ipad to IOS 5 and I am unable to use my applications.
    The applications appear in the screen, but when I tap on any one of them, they do not open.
    Can some one tell me what to do to be able to use my application again?

    Sorry, I'm reposting this because of spelling error in my previous post (I must turn that 'auto-correct' off).
    Since I posted my questions, the only thing I figured out was to turn the 'iCloud' in the Settings on and now the plus sign is on and all my previous appointments appeared.  While this is a solution, what if I don't want to use iCloud? But I'm happy for now that my Calendar works.

    Just updated my iPad with iOS 7 and now internet does not work anymore, how to fix if???? Desperate

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8 My MacBook can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook

    Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8
    My MacBook is too old and  can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook.
    It all worked perfectly prior to updating the iPad 2 to OS7.
    There were no cautions or warnings
    Are there any work arounds?
    Can I uninstall OS7 and go back to OS6?
    Rediculous thing is I can connect to iTunes on an old PC of the same age

    Thanks for your comments but this doesn't help my situation at all.
    Again Apple fails to provide backward support for its own products.
    I could go to the trouble of hacking the MacBook and running Mountain Lion and iTunes 11 that way
    I think I will just move across to a PC as a result of this Apple strategy and I think I will just give up on Apples short lived product strategy.
    A laptop that lasts five years indicates a long lived product strategy.  Where they go wrong is to prevent backwards strategy when someone genuinely cannot live with ios7 like you. even the "unsupported" downgrade has now been blocked.
    Don't go windows,  you will not get five good years from a dell or an asus. If you can't buy Mountain Lion for it,  get a new macbook, enjoy.

  • HT201442 My Ipad needs to restore and my PowerPC with OSX 10.5.8 can't

    My Ipad needs to restore and my PowerPC with OSX 10.5.8 can't

    That's correct. You need to upgrade the OS on your Mac if you can, or you need to use a Mac that is running 10.6.8 so that you can restore your iPad. There is no other way around it. You could make an appointment and an Apple Store and ask for their help, but you will not be able to backup your iPad so you will lose everything and have to start all over again.
