Can you deactivate a stolen ipod?

Can you deactivate a stolen iPod with a serial number so it can no longer be used?

If you used 'Find my iPhone' then you can log into the app on an iOS device or access it from icloud.com on a computer. The application will let you wipe and lock an iPod Touch remotely.
Other than that there's no way Apple can 'deactivate' a device.

  • Can you track a stolen ipod through wifi if its been restored?

    So I was working and found an ipod touch4G. I waited 3 weeks and no one has come in to claim it so i thought id use it. The last wifi connetion it picked up was at the movies (where i work) also where i restored it. I want to bring it home and use it but im scared theyre going to see its on my wifi home connection and think i stole it. Also if they have the serial number and i go on my home wifi with it, can they track it?

    Not via iCloud. Only the old fashioned way like if you lost your keys
    - 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.

  • Can You Find A Stolen ipod without using icloud?

    can you track an ipod using anything else but icloud ?

    hellokitty3 wrote:
    pawn shops do it all the time to see if the device is stolen
    Since the pawn shops have the device in their hands, they have no need to try and track it, which again is not possible unless Find My iPod was set up. As Philly_Phan said, all the pawn shops do is check the serial number against stolen property lists.
    Regards.

  • How can you find a stolen ipod and try to locate it on to your computer?

    I was at practice and my stuff and bookbag were all in a locker room together my ipod was in a safe place where no one can grab it or steal it but when i came back and was looking for it cause i needed it, it was gone everything was the same but i think that either i lost it or stole it? & i want to know where to locate it?
    I've tried Icloud>>FindMyIphone and it didn't help me out because it was offline..? I need help, is there another way that i can locate it without using a phone only a computer..?

    If it is offline, then you cannot track it at all.
    Sorry
    Note sure what an iphone has to do with it.

  • Can i locate a stolen ipod on the internet?

    can i locate a stolen ipod via the internet?
    hello?

    Only if you had set up FindMyiPod prior to losing it.  If you did, you might be able to locate it via iCloud.  Browse out to https://www.icloud.com/ and log in with your Apple ID and choose Find My IPhone.
    Keep in mind that in order to locate it via Find My IPhone, the device needs to be connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network, and must not have been restored by anybody who might have found it.
    See this article for more information.

    Report the stolen device to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to accounts you may have set up or used on the device.

  • Can you deactivate the phone feature and still use an iphone?

    Can you deactivate the phone feature and use an iphone as an ipod touch and still sync with iTunes?? I would like multiple answers so I can compare.
    Message was edited by: theharrypottergeek

    You can remove the SIM card to prevent any cell phone services and use the iPhone as an iPod Touch.
    You can cancel your service with AT&T or use the SIM card with another phone, or get a new phone with AT&T using the SIM card that shipped with the new phone to activate phone and use the iPhone as an iPod Touch.
    In order to install a firmware update on a no longer activated iPhone, or restore a no longer activated iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card must be inserted in the iPhone to complete the process - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated.

  • TS4006 how can i locate a STOLEN ipod immediantly ?

    How can i LOCATE a STOLEN ipod ?

    It can only be located if you enabled Find My iPod on it before it was stolen.  It also would have to have be turned on with connection to the internet and still have your iCloud settings intact in order for it to be tracked.  (Unfortunately, criminals often restore them as new devices so they cannot be tracked.)
    If you enabled this before it was stolen, you can try going to icloud.com on your computer to track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

    how can i track a stolen ipod touch (2nd gen, 8gb, 4.2.1)

    Lucky you, the only way to get your missing device back is thru a GOOD SAMARITHAN.Remember once the new user puts your device to "ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS" and you connect it to your iTunes ,using the new users Apple ID ,everything changes to the new users name,unless you have an Apple Care protection plan which is  registered under that serial #.
