When you use iCloud to erase your stolen iPod remotely, what information is erased?
I know the iCloud support website says this: "If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information"
So I know that my contats, e-mail and music will be erased when I remotely erase my iPod, but will my iMessages, Videos, apps, accounts, etc., also be erased from the iPod?
Thanks in advance
Signing the iPod out of your iTunes Store account does not affect Find My iPod. But if the thief can get into the settings to sign out of your iTunes Store account, he or she can probably also cancel Find My iPod, after which you will no longer be able to track nor erase the device. And of course if the thief can get into your iPod to change any settings, then he or she already has access to all your data. Did you have a passcode set for the screen lock?
Regards.

I had my iPod stolen out of my school bag. I was told to use iCloud to find it. But when i got onto iCloud it said something like i don't have any devices set up or something. Any idea of what i can do to find my iPod location?
On your iPod Touch.

Find My iPhone
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

I have my phone backed up to icloud but for unnamed reasons I cannot restore from icloud back up at the moment. I'm worried about my pictures. Will the back up of the camera roll delete after 30 days or is that just the photo stream?
The statement is directly from Apple and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Keep in mind, pictures showing in PhotoStream does not mean they will be there when a new device is added, only that they have been downloaded by the device they are displaying on.
In other words, if a new iDevice is added to the account, it will only download the last 1,000 pictures taken in the last 30 days, not every picture showing on other iDevices in PhotoStream. -
Can you use iCloud to save iPhotos to the cloud? When I sign in to iCloud, I just see a few basic apps, no iPhotos.
If you're referring to the iCloud.com website for you account there are no photos there. Photop Stream is only for syncing photos between iOS devices and Macs.
This will exiplain what iCloud is and does in regards to photos: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
This Apple document describes what iCloud stores: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

Does anybody know how to download songs without having to pay for them when you use your voucher. I have redeemed it and have £15 in my account yet everytime I go to download a song it's trying to get me to pay!!! Please help?
hiya. thanks for your suggestion. i just tried it and it worked so thanks XD
i wish apple would make an "exclude" option though tbh.
i have some others called ... in the name "...soundtrack" (one word) or "hidden track" and "teaching track" !
i've got another one literally called "track by track walk through" lol
now im wishing there was just an option to select these oddballs and exclude them individually.
i cant come up with rules for every single possibility, but i cannnn eliminate those odd songs when i see them if there was an exclude option.
but thanks anyway xx -
HT201077 when you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from icloud back up also
When you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from the icloud backup?
No, however your next backup will not contain the photo as it is no longer on your phone (and iCloud only saves approx. 3 older backups so the one containing the photo will eventually no longer be available). Also, a word of caution...it seems like many users end up losing some or all of their photos when restoring to their iCloud backup. To be safe, don't rely on the backup but instead import your photos (and videos) to your computer, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Is there a way to store a wi-fi password on an ipad and then copy and paste it into the proper space when you want to connect to your password proctected newwor? (the password is 31 random characters)
Yes, if both the Mac and iPad are setup using the same iCloud account, then any notes you enter on the Mac will be synced across to the iPad almost instantly.
Same occurs with the 1Password app I mentioned. If you have both the Mac and iPad versions of it, and setup either iCloud or Dropbox syncing, any passwords entered on the Mac will be synced to the app running on the iPad ready for copying and pasting. This would be the most secure method, but not the cheapest. -
When you find iCloud in Settings, why isn't music an option? I have purchased iTunes Match and more space in iCloud, but when I go to music it says no music found? Help,
You enable iTunes Match on your iPad by making sure your are signed into the Apple ID you used to subscribe in iTunes Match in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then turning iTunes Match and Show All Music to On.
Also, iTunes Match doesn't use your iCloud storage plan so you don't need to purchase a storage upgrade to use it. -
When you add a background over your picture/sound footage the background has 2 fade toggles that both move in mirror fashion. Is there a way to lock one of the fade toggles on a background colour? iMovie 10.0.6
You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Can you use icloud to restore settings on a 4s to a 5?
Can you use icloud to restore settings on a 4s to a 5?
Yes. Just back up your 4S to iCloud, then restore your 5 to that backup. Note: your iPhone 5 will need to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your 4S in order to restore to the backup.

The camera on my iPhone 4 isn't working and hasn't for quite sometime. I have updated the phone to IOS 6 and it hasn't made any difference.
When you use the icon that appears at the bottom of the screen or the camera icon on the main screen all you see is the camera shutter.I have tried to restore the camera and that hasn't made any difference. I have spoken to Apple support and they sent me a support site to check out, but there isn't any specific solution for my problem. Has anyone had a similar problem and is there a solution?Try:
- Reset the iPhone. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPhone: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPhone.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Should I turn off iTunes synch when I use iCloud to synch?
I have been using iTunes to sync my iPhone contacts and calendar to Outlook on my old Windows PC. Now I've replaced the PC with a MacBook and have turned on iCloud on both my iPhone and Mac. When I sync with iTunes now, I notice some calendar events are getting duplicated. Is the best practice to just stop using iTunes and let iCloud handle all synching?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes synching should have been turned off when you started iCloud. Yes turn it off for appropriate services to avoid duplication.
