HI TECHNOLOGY

I Want To Know if My iPad is Stolen!

Why are you making this difficult, Apple?

Oh, Apple, sometimes I really wonder why you do these things!

All I want for Xmas

When my wife and I leave home, I don’t usually take my iPad or my computer because I usually won’t need them.

If someone broke into our house while we were gone, I would be very upset if either of those devices were stolen. I might be upset or even angry about anything else taken, but my computer and iPad are essential items: I’d be something close to frantic about their loss.

But I had hope that Apple would have a solution.

Find My Whatever

For a few operating system versions, the Find My app has been able to tell me where all my devices are.

The Find My app is quite willing to remind me if I forgot to take a device with me.
