I found a lost ipad and was told by the rep at my local Mac Store that they have no way of locating the original owner so that I can return it to them. First question: is there a way to locate the original owner so that I can return their ipad to them.
Second question: if there is no way to return the ipad to the original owner, can the ipad still be used by a new owner?
iPad, iOS 8.4
The right thing to do is to turn it into the police or the lost and found of the place you found it if there is one. The owner is probably logged in with their Apple ID. Only the owner can deactivate this login. Without the device being freed from the owners Apple ID it is essentially an expensive paperweight to anyone other than the owner. There is nothing you can do with it.
One long shot. If the owner filled out their contact card correctly you can ask Siri "Who owns this iPad ?
I'd hand it in to the police as UGADog suggested, it's wothless to you.
If I found a lost ipad but the original owner could not be found, can I still use the ipad?
