How do I locate my iPad Mini Cellular that has been lost or stolen? I did enable Find My Device, but I get message it is offline. It may have a dead battery or be turned off.
Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.
Where was the device last located? If it was dead or off wifi there isn’t much hope recovering it.
If it was stolen contact your local police/sheriff department.
