Apple should replace stolen ipod touchs

why doesnt apple a tracker on ipods cause mine got stolen

No company does this.  Why would you think that Apple should?
This is not done with any company for any product.  What company tracks its products?  It would be a violation of privacy laws and would be met with outrage from consumers and the media if companies were tracking the movements and locations of their products.
What company replaces a product that was stolen?  Ford? no. Sony? No.  Samsung? no.  Motorola?  no  Microsoft? no  anyone?
Apple has a location program.  All you had to do was set it up on your ipod.
It is not designed for stolen iphones, but can find the device under certain circumstances.

  • Apple is replacing my iPod Touch, will my replacement be a brand new iPod or refurbished?

    I had problems with my iPod so they are replacing it for me, will they give me a new iPod or refurbished? And does a refurbished iPod have a new battery in it?

    Like I said, it will look and work like new. They fully test batteries. If cases or screens have any scratches, they are replaced.

  • Is there anyway for apple to replace my ipod touch if the screen cracked?

    The screen cracked when it shouldnt have, on a simple fall and i read on other discussions that some ipods have been replaced by the company?

    Although "drops" are not covered by the warranty, sometimes the Apple Genius will replace the iPod at no cost.  It is up to their discretion.   The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can i get in contact with apple about my stolen ipod touch?

    it was stolen out of my backpack 2 days ago, and i have the serial number- it's 1c90**201 <Edited by Host>. I wanted to report it and see if they could do something to track it. please help me, this one one of the best things i owned and i can't afford another one.

    Apple cannot track your stolen equipment. Call your local police. If you know the serial number be sure to give it to them. But I would not hold much hope of recovery. If you have homeowners or automobile insurance the theft may be covered although that may not be helpful if you carry a high deductible.

  • Apple is replacing my iPod Touch, What if I am not there when FedEx delivers my package?

    I have no idea when my package will be delivered by FedEx tomorrow :/. The package requires a signature so if I am not there then what happens to my package? Also It says "direct signature required" So does that mean only an adult can sign it? Im only 15. Thanks!

    Thank you. My iPod is 1 hour away from where I live right now. So I assume it might come early in the morning so I guess I will wake up early. Thanks again!

  • Can Apple send you an iPod touch if yours is stolen

    Can Apple send you an iPod touch if yours is stolen ??

    Sorry, they don't replace stolen items for free.

  • HT4061 Will apple replace stolen ipods

    Will apple replace a stolen Ipod Touch???

    I so want to say something dumb right now, but I won't. Apple will replace your iPod if poor workmanship is involved they will replace if software issue is detected or you have a case of buyers remorse if within 14 day grace period. But drop it in the toilet or get ripped off, you're on your own. But it is a nice idea. Some credit card company's have theft replacement and some stores may cover with additional warranties, but I'm not aware of Apple covering lost or stolen property. Good luck, Cheers.

  • I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

    I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?

    Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

  • Can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working

    can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working, because i havn't had it even for one year yet.

    Apple will replace an iPod that is still under warranty if it has a manufacturing defect. That's not the same thing.

  • Stolen ipod touch, can apple kill the device

    Stolen ipod touch with some sensitive information. Have not setup any tracking app. Can Apple "kill" the ipod as a mobile operator can "kill" a mobile phone via the IMEI number?

    No.

  • Can apple track down my lost or stolen ipod touch?

    is there any way apple can track down my lost or stolen ipod touch?

    No, but if you have activated Find my Iphone/ipod on it then you could have a small chance of locating it if it is around alot of wifi hot spots.

  • If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other than Apple will the apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?

    If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other then Apple will the Apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?

    Regardless of what Apple may or may not say about repair work done by a third party (a non-Apple company or you yourself), the Magnuson-Moss Act precludes them from voiding your warranty simply because you had work done by a third party or used non-OEM parts.  Typically people hear of thie Act as it is applied to cars. Car manufacturers cannot require you go to a dealership for repairs or that you use OEM parts. They cannot void your warranty for doing that. The Act applies to all consumer goods. Computer manufacturers cannot require you send your computer to them for memory upgrades or that you use memory supplied by them. Apple cannot require you to go to Apple for repair work or that you use Apple parts in that repair. 
    With that said, though, if you have a problem in the future, Apple could make the claim that it was the result of damage from improper repair or substandard parts. Your only recourse would be the court system, not a quick or inexpensive endeavor.

  • The other day at school i had lost/stolen ipod touch i had signed up with apple but i havent download the app (find my iphone) is there any way i can find out when my ipod touch gets connected to a wifi and track it

    how do u track an ipod touch when its connected to a wifi and how do u find out when its your stolen ipod touch is connected

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing - the app is for tracking an iOS device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • Regarding a STOLEN ipod touch 4g (iCloud not used and NOT jailbroken) things to do please to retrieve it. need it ASAP thanks.

    what are things to do (step by step if necessary) to retrieve a stolen ipod touch? ios is 5.1 - 5.1.1 not sure what it is. if you have questions regarding it or other information you need please feel free to ask.. i really need to get it back.

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Can someone find my stolen iPod Touch for me?

    I bought my last iPod Touch at the Bakersfield, California Valley Plaza Mall Target store, but a thief stole it from me at the Bakersfield, California Truxtun-and-S Kern County Beale Memorial Public Library when I, while walking around the second floor for some exercise, had kept it on one of the patron second-floor desks still attached to my Motion Computing Tablet PC during downloading an OS update. The last post I had added to that same iPod Touch was a video of the use of a Spencer ******** sleeve with some lubrication they don't sell in their store. Yet, that video got stuck in transit in a holding cell while a new iOS update began. If that thief ever turns on my iPod Touch, my PC will notify me of that pod's whereabouts immediately. Why did that iOS update occur right at that moment when that same ******** video was to be either accepted or rejected as too obscene? My face is not in the video, which, in spite of its sexual content, might actually be educational and perhaps also business savvy. I made and posted the video because I wanted to convey my need for a real person to make love to, certainly not an object at all. The ******** sleeve makes my ***** look ridiculously like Alice in Wonderland dressed in her rings as depicted in some of the original illustrations in that fictional title's original book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Why did those spies get really calm and quiet all of a sudden?! Can someone please find my stolen iPod Touch for me? If that thief turns that pod on, I might get that Target refund card, which I might use to buy another iPod Touch because I love its Photoshop Express' photo-editing and graphic-design features. If I ever get another iPod Touch, however, I won't take it to the library or the bus stop, where I won't stand around using the Internet. Instead, I'll just use it as a second camera and photo-editing tool.
