sfokevin Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) 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...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) ipad is locked with a password and at the apple store they said acc. to the sial number it's not bought in Thailand 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. Edited February 9, 2012 by Dante99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard2010 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 There is a flaw in the security of the iPad2 that will allow you to get past the lock screen... http://www.slashgear...ified-21189965/ I saw that & tried it a number of times on my wife's Ipad2 never worked for me 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited February 9, 2012 by hellodolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
