I would suggest going into the settings and look for a mail account... If they set up email you can find out thier email address and email them....

If it is a model that is 3G then look for what carrier it is - Then go the provider office (True or AIS...)... they may have a name and address on account...

good on you for trying to find the owner.

Good ideas about looking for email and other account stuff. Hunt around in there.

I freakin love my Ipad so can really relate to your honesty. A lot of people own the galaxy tablets. Oh the humanity.

That's if it isn't locked like mine is with the four digit pin code.

Fair play though for trying to return it.Plus the Owner my have used the find my iPad app also

on the photographs a falang about 60 yr. or older in CM University graduation dress. And imgs of Jack's Hack plane restauration project.

So.. you found the pass code, to see the pictures? Then you can also get into the email settings and find his email address.

No, you can watch the photographs as a slideshow when the ipad is locked.

Get it reset and enjoy your new toybiggrin.png admit it that's what everyone else is really thinking!

Can you say "projection"?

Well, whoever owns it, he's not reading Thaivisa, nor has any friends reading Thaivisa. So that makes him not really worthy.

BTW, it's still a 4 digit access code right? Those are not impossible to guess with some effort. (trying often used pass codes first; google it)

If the owner registered it with Apple which is likely, Apple will have their name and email address in their computer identified by the serial number. It is a world wide system so Apple should be helpful but you may not get their top service from the CM branch. Suggest you provide the serial number and ask Apple to contact the registered owner or to give you the contact information. If Apple CM is not responsive, try Singapore or the US by email.

You are doing the right thing by trying to find the owner.

Something occurred to me: Apple thinks it's importnat enough to allow picture browsing while locked, but NOT to show the owner's name and e-mail address in case someone wants to give it back when it gets lost? What are those Cupertinian Fruit Fetishists thinking?!

Actually a smart owner could take note of this situation & snap a pic of their information printed on a card.

Add it to their gallery & there you go..............

It will make its rounds in the screen saver slide show ;)

there is a photograph of a document, unfortunately it is in a language I can't read (not Thai)

Hope you find the owner before the next version is launched. Guess that gives you about 20 mins from now. biggrin.png

If it is in a roman language you can just type he text in google translate.

There is a flaw in the security of the iPad2 that will allow you to get past the lock screen...

I saw that & tried it a number of times on my wife's Ipad2 never worked for me

Not if he can't read what's there in the first place. If he understands the characters then it's possible but if not then it's not really going to work.

It is also possible that the Ipad2 has the GPS on.

If so they can track it from another computer.

If not you have a free Ipad2

JUST CHECKED.....it is not mine

Luckily, everyone else doesn't think like you.

Worked for me, but the latest OS update fixed it. Also I remember I'd only get to the last app used - it wasn't like you got a completely unlocked iPad. I couldn't get to the email app, for example. It was really a very minor security issue.

Apparently you could call Apple and give them the S/N and they would then find the iTunes account associated with it and send an email to the owner. For security reasons they won't give you the email though - I guess they figure you could be a bad person who somehow got hold of people's serial numbers...

I'd also try 1234, 1111, 2222, etc. 4321. The problem is the iPad locks for 1 minute after 3 failed attempts so that will take some time. Maybe it'll lock even longer if there are more failed attempts too...

Maybe you can jailbreak it, ssh into it, get file system access, get to the email inbox, figure out the guy's email, and send one to him. After that he better kiss your feet....

I guess

What ever you do, leave it on - the guy might have "Find my iPhone" enabled and could use that to track down its GPS location.

If you ever get into his e-mail and can't find his e-mail you can always send a message to the people in his address bok.

Good Luck to the finder.

And thank you for doing the right thing. I am quite sure the person who owns it is not in a good state of mind.

I found a HP smartphone in a taxi a few years ago and called one of the numbers, found the owner and gave it back. It was a sexy girl. Woof!
