Can an ipod that was erased be tracked as to where it was when erased?

It was noted that a missing ipod was erased according to find my iphone app within the last couple weeks - is it possible to find the location where the ipod was when it was erased?

It cannot. Your iPod is a format that is neither readable or writeable by a PC. The only way to make it possible is to use some sort of third party software such as XPlay.

Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Transfering Music from a Ipod that was connected to windows to a macbook

is it possible to transfer music from an Ipod that was connected to a PC to my macbook? or do I have to reinstall all my music to the mac?

I had a similar problem, when a I bought my current G4 Powerbook, my iPod was synced with my iMac, so wanted to transfer all the music from iPod to the Powerbook. Basically, I used a free third party application. Download it, install then connect your iPod, it will copy everything from there to the Macbook.
See the thread link below, it lists some of the software you can use.

Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone all my personal data will be unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 on the street

Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option, all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 + on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
Thank you very much

Hey Joangil,
Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,
Zach

How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (MVI_.AVI) and load it into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert it for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all?

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (Format MVI_.AVI) and load them into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all. Any simple suggestions, I am not real keen on iMovie Productions and not real certain how they compress for emailing attachments. Something simple here that I am missing? Thanks so much. I am a grandpa trying to share with family members far away (quickly & simply).

I am surprised that Apple did not build a converter into Mt. Lion.
Apple does have a converter built into Mountain Lion. It is call "Quicktime." However, in order to use this converter, you must first make sure the compression formats are playback compatible with QT. Basically, there are three levels of QT compatibility. The lowest is "Playback." These file can be played by QT but may not be conversion or edit compatible with QT. The second level is QT "Conversion" compatible. These files are playback compatible and can be converted to other compression formats using QT. "Edit" compatible media files are "Fully" compatible with QT since the can be played, converted and/or edited by QT. The main problem here is that AVI is a "legacy" file format that has not been officially supported by Microsoft for more than 11 years when it was replaced by Windows Media multimedia file/compression formats. Many of the original compression formats used in AVI files have never been transcoded for the Mac platform, use beyond system 9, or use beyond PPC platforms. In addition, some commonly used AVI codecs are proprietary or use non-standard (hybrid) profile and level combinations. In short, there is little wonder that Apple has been distancing itself from this outdated file type as it re-writes and upgrades its own QT structure to support more standardized, more scalable, more modern high definition file types and compression formats. It is really unfortunate that users continue to use this outmoded file type simply because it is freely available, easy to use, or they are simply too lazy to move on to a more modern or more efficient file types and/or compression formats.
I tested Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for the Mac, which seems to be the "state of the art". I may be purchasing a new camera which might create a whole new set of variables. This program seems to cover all bases and is great for novices.
There are many third-party apps available if you wish to search for them. Many are even available in the App Store. Most do their job well and it is usually a matter of personal user preference as to which is best.
HandBrake seems more suited to folks with more experience and knowledge.
I mentioned Handbrake primarily because it is free and easy to use when you employ the included conversion presets options. (The TV options can normally be used for almost any situation depending on the source file and output requirements.) It is also excellent for more experienced users, but has a somewhat limited choice of output options as it does not access the user's system QT codec component configuration.

HT1320 Can i sync a different itunes account to an old Ipod that was set up with a different account that is no longer active

I have found my old ipod that I would like to sync to a different itunes account that it was not set up, how do i sync it to my current account. The old account information is lost and do not have it

If you used automatic syncing, an iPod syncs with an iTunes library, not to an account, such as your iTunes Store account (Apple ID). So, if you still have the same iTunes library, it should still work with that library, even if you no longer have access to an "account."
However, it can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. If it is currently set up to sync to an iTunes library that you no longer, you can set it up to sync to your current iTunes library. But when you do that, the iPod's existing content is replaced by content from that iTunes library.
If that iPod was previously set up using the Manually manage music setting (you dragged songs to it in iTunes to load it), instead of automatic syncing, it is NOT syncing to a particular iTunes library. In that case, you can add new items to it from your current iTunes library. But you cannot set up automatic syncing without replacing its existing content.
You can post back to clarify your situation, and what you ideally want to do.

I have an iPod that was set up and synced on another computer, I have a new mac now and I can't get the songs off the old iPod

well the short of it is I set up my pod on the wifes computer
Ive got over 4500 songs on it and want to transfer them to a new mac I just got
its not allowing me to do so, what can I do????
I dont haveaccess to the other computer anymore

You did not restore the new iPhone.
The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device or that was used to backup another iPhone or iOS devide, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
Since the old iPhone was synced with iTunes on a different computer, all iTunes content on the new iPhone (which is none at the present time) will be erased first.
The warning message should indicate all iTunes content will be erased from the iPhone, which is iTunes content only.
If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on this computer and the supported address book app on this computer includes any contacts, you will be provided a merge prompt for the contacts, which you want to select. Otherwise the contacts on the iPhone will be replaced with the contacts in the address book app on the computer with the first sync.

HT1329 I have a classic ipod that was formatted to imac. now I want to move my library to windows based computer. itunes is requesting to restore ipod before it will read on windows because ipod was only used on imac. Will I lose all my music? How can

I have an ipod that originally was connected to imac. Imac died and have itunes library on ipod.. How can I get the music off ipod and onto windows based laptop?

Yes. A Windows PC cannot read or write to a Mac formatted iPod. There are a handful of programs out there that will allow you to use the Mac formatted iPod with Windows so you can copy your content over to your new iTunes library. One such utility is XPlay.

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:

How do I unlock a disabled ipod on a Macintosh computer that was synced with a different computer?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
