Can i activate "find my ipod" without having my ipod with me

i miss placed my ipod and i did not activate "find my ipod" when i had it so i was wondering if i could activate it now

No.
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 your bank or any 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.  Something as small as an iPod 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 i upgrade to version edge without having to get a new phone?

    can i upgrade to version edge without having to get a new phone?
    i am currently running 4 iphones on my account. i want to only upgrade 2 out of the 4 phones. am i able to get all the phones on edge with only upgrading two of the 4 phones?

        Hello ernestleo!
    I'd be happy to clarify. Verizon Edge is a payment plan for your phones, so you would need to upgrade to put any line on this plan. However, it is completely fine to only upgrade 2 phones with Edge, and leave the other lines alone for the time being. You can find out more about Edge here: http://vz.to/1hJFHzr .

  • Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

    Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

    I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
    When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
    There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

  • How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    Hi @DRB1961, 
    I do not think the Zeen will work if you no longer have the C510 printer. The printer is necessary to ensure the Zeen is up to date. The Zeen is simply not a standalone device, it is a component of the printer.   I can not say this with certainty that it will not work, so it is worth trying to reset the Zeen to finding out for sure.
    When you see this message, "must dock the Zeen to the printer to continue", can you access the settings using the 3rd icon above the touch screen? If so we can do a factory reset, if not there is no other way I can think of to bypass this message.
    I just tried a reset on a Zeen I have access to, after the initialization, it prompts me to attach the Zeen to the printer to continue with product setup. it appears my original speculation was correct. No, you can not use the Zeen without the printer.

    I am on Vacations in Nicaragua and I just lost my Ipod. I did not turned on the ICloud. How can I use "Find my Ipod".? please help me.

    You cannot use it.  You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it.  Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
    Sorry.
    There is no way to track your ipod.

    I would like to ask the following question. I am using mac os x 10.9 maverics me quicktime player version 10.3. Can I trim a video recording without having to press the pause or save it as a file? Or can I add a new recording to a video file? Thanks in advance

    Well,
    I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
    Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
    To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
    If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

  • My iTunes is taking too much ram on my computer, what can I do reduce the size without having to delete items?

    Hi,
    Since I have stared uploading movies onto my iTunes I have run out of space on my iBook. What can I do to fix this without having to delete movies? Is it possible to move my iTunes to somewhere else like a time capsule or external storage?

    Yes. I moved iTunes to an external hard drive. Admittedly, I'm not tech-savvy, so I went to the Apple store and had them help me with it, but it's quite doable, and much smarter than putting an enormous music library on your computer.

    It will end up costing you around $40 plus about ten minutes of work.
