Will iCloud track a stolen iPad after doing a factory reset

Hello, I'm new here. I lost my iPad and tracking it now via iCloud but it says offline. I'm afraid the thief/finder has done a factory reset on it. It doesn't have a passcode. I just want to know if iCloud can still track a lost/stolen iPad if the thief/finder has done a factory reset on it. I really don't know what to do. This is my first time losing such gadget. Any replies will be much appreciated.

This is what he/she is going to see when iPad is turned on (tap to enlarge image)
If he slide to unlock, he will be asked for the passcode.

  • Turning off the iPad after wireless problems factory resets the iPad

    Here is the scenario...
    1.) The iPad will work perfectly for several days.
    2.) Then it will no longer detect wifi networks at all. It simply says "No networks found". (This is not an issue with the wifi network itself)
    3.) Power the iPad off and then back on normally.
    4.) The iPad has now been factory reset and must be completely setup again.
    Nothing atypical is on the iPad as far as applications going. And this scenario has happened multiple times.

    If you haven't tried a restore of the OS, give that a try (without installing any third-party apps until you can confirm that the problem goes away) and see if it helps. If it doesn't, then it probably is a hardware problem and you will indeed need to contact Apple.
    Regards.

  • How to get back office after doing a factory reset?

    Hi,
    I had done a factory reset on my home laptop, a dell inspiron 15 3542......after the factory reset all my applications were erased.
    I had earlier purchased an MS office 365 which does not come with an installation cd, just the product key to be entered in the office website, is there anyway I can still use my purchase? I had entered the product key but it said "your microsoft office
    isnt connected to this account" when i was logged with the same account which i used to login to MS office. IS THERE ANY WAY?

    Try asking at answers.microsoft.com - this Forum is for Windows Home Server.

  • How does a factory reset work?

    HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
    QC400AV
    Windows 7
    I have had a problem with my intel graphics drivers not responding and then recovering. Went online to a remote access technician and they said that I had a lot of internal applications that are not working and suggested I have one of "their guys" go in and do some work...
    I have personally reinstalled the drivers myself and yet the problem still persist. I must admit that my event log is full of errors. Something like 3 thousand in the 8 months I have had this computer. Brand new and it has errors dating from the moment I pulled it out of the box. How could this be?
    Even so I would like to give a factory reset a try. My question is, what exactly does it do? I understand files such as doc, pix, vids will be erased; applications too. Does it actually restore all system files or is it more like a band-aid that fixes errors?
    If there are better options what are they?
    Thank you for your time

    Factory Reset formats the hdd and does a complete reinstall of everything. Many times this corrects a flaky install from the factory. If you still have problems after doing the Factory Reset, check your drivers page for an update which might help>>HERE

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.

  • My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

    Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?

    Hi all, so I forgot my book's passcode and I reset it from the Recovery mode. All is fine, but I was wondering does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh? All the chains, registries and all, just like a fresh copy of Windows ? Or did I mixed up all...
    P.S. Strange after the factory reset and the system's downloading I got this as apps (of course some are downloaded by me)

    does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
    Actually, the "delete all" part is done by your using Disk Utility to erase the partition, as part of your clean install.
