I lost my ipad and its not signed into my apple account and i have tried to use the find iphone app and can't find it. is there any way to find it ?

Without being signed in, there is no Find My iPad.

You would have to see the iPad with your eyes to locate it.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

Or behind the sofa or under the bed or in a cupboard or in the bin (3yr, so that’s why). They don’t know how expensive an iPad is.

where any communication apps (social media) on it that you could call to hear it ring ?

1. Go to Find my iPhone / Find my iPad on any iOS device.
2. Sign in with that Apple ID.
3. Tap Play Sound. This might help you find the iPad if it’s hidden somewhere in the house.
4. See the location. This may help you locate it.
5. Tap Lost Mode. This will remotely lock it.
6. If you’re doubly sure that a thief stole it, erase it as soon as possible by tapping Erase iPad. This will erase all data on your iPad for good. No undo.

FaceTime it, might work. It doesn’t have cellular.

Cannot FaceTime - there is no Apple ID.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that point.

Since you said it is a 3 Years old that lost it, lets assume the kid does not drive a car to get away, so it must be in you home somewhere, but at not more than 3 feet hight.

Probably under carpet or some pillow.

or Dish Washer, Washing machine, Dads garage, garbage bin any other crazy place.
