Can you report an ipod to Apple/iTunes as stolen so it can't be used by thief?

I was just wondering if there is any way you can report a certain serial number as stolen so that if it is re registered on a new computer you are notified by apple?

unfortunately not.
all you can do is report the theft to the police and provide the serial # to them.

How do you sync your ipod to your itunes without loseing all your music?

Some how my itunes deleted all music (everything except my purchased music and I dont have my other music anywhere else only on my ipod.). Today I tryed to add a new Cd but i cant do that untill i get all my music from my ipod back into itunes by syncing it without losing everything. how do I do that i need to know ASAP

You need to put your ipod in manually manage mode. When you plug in your ipod the box that pops up is gonna state your ipod has been synced with another library do you want to erase and sync or transfer purchases or cancel. Hit cancel. Under devices in theleft hand side of itunes click the name of your ipod. That brings up a summary page, then select under options on that summary page manually manage ipod then click apply. You can then add content by dragging and dropping from itunes library to the name of your device. this allows syncing with multiple computers withuot losing content.

If you log out of your apple ID on your iPad and let someone else use it and they use facetime. How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs? I do not want them to have access to my history. How can I prevent that and they can see their own?

If you log out of your apple ID on your iPAD mini and let someone else use it and they use facetime. How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs? I do not want them to have access to my history. How can I prevent that and they can see their own? Or is the history associated with the iPAD mini itself and not the actual icloud user account?

You are logging out from
Settings -> FaceTime, right?
My guess would be though, that the FaceTime history is stored locally on the device, so anyone using it will see the entire device history (I cannot imagine that FaceTime uploads the history to an Apple server anywhere - I'm sure it is just logged locally on the device - based on my iPhone and iPad show completely different histories, for example).

Can you report your iPod lost/stolen to Apple?

I believe someone has stolen my iPod Touch (5th gen.). I have it regestered with Apple...What can I do to find it/get it back? Is there a number I can call? Also, I've read that you can locate it somehow through iCloud. How is that done? All help is appreciated

No. Apple does not look for lost or stolen devices. Call your local police.

Can you restore an ipod outside of itunes?

several days ago my computer ceased to recognize my ipod. (i've got ibook g4, latest osx, and 5G video ipod.) i'm not sure the cause. i made a couple of simpletext files to view as notes and put them on the ipod, then ejected in the usual manner. when i reconnected, the ipod would not show in the finder, nor in itunes. but system profiler recognizes an ipod is connected, and the ipod will charge via usb. all i get is the "do not disconnect" screen on the ipod. the only other thing different is, i'm using a borrowed usb/dock cable, rather than my own (which is currently MIA).
my hunch is the ipod needs restoring, but (hey apple, listen up, because this is really stupid) you're supposed to use itunes to restore it. how can i do that if it won't show up? i even went to the support pages, looked up a page on "so your ipod won't show up in the finder or itunes" and from there followed a link telling me to restore the ipod through itunes. is it just me, or is this an oversight? anyway, the question is: any other way to restore an ipod? anyone? beuler? beuler?

1. Have you launched iTunes yourself while your iPod
was connected to the computer? If so, your iPod
still didn't appear in the Device list? If so, you
might have accidentally unchecked the "Open iTunes
when iPod is connected" (or something like that)
tried it, no luck
2. Open Disk Utility and see if your iPod is listed
there. You can select your iPod and try mounting it
from there.
i know what disk utility is, but i've never used it to mount a disk. could you explain how it is done?
3. Do you know of anyone else with a Mac that you
could connect your iPod to and try restoring from his
computer.
can also try this. also i may be able to get a different dock->usb cable to try.
thanks, i'll keep working on it...

How do you share 2 iPods on one iTunes?

Me and my brother have 1 iPod each. But the problem is that we only have 1 computer. How do you make it so that you can have 2 iPods but only 1 iTunes and we still have our own songs and stuff like that?

Just make sure after plugging in your IPOD that you set both to manually update. Do you know how to do this? Unless of course you want the same exact playlist that he has. You'll have to create your own folders and drag your songs into your IPOD this this way. Same as using windows explorer. Someday the brilliant programmers at Apple might figure out how to build this feature into I-Tunes! After all, there are many multiply IPOD families in the world.

I have 2 IPads one for me and the other for my daughter. However, my Ipad was stolen during a bulgary and I reported it lost thru apple. However, now my daugher is unable to use her Ipad because the apple ap show it is lost. How can I change this?

My home was recently burgarlized and one of my Ipads were stolen.(Thank God my daughter had hers at school). However, I went online to report my Ipad lost thru apple but now My daughter is unable to Log into the apple account and/or use her Ipad due to being lost. How can I correct this so she can use her Ipad?
Thank you

If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe. The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however. If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

HT1391 how do you report an ipod touch stolen with serial number.

I have the serial number of my ipod touch. How do I report it stolen to apple?

You don't. Report it to the police, and your insurer if it would be covered.

How do you report an ipod touch stolen?

My ipod touch was stolen by a maid at a hotel i stayed at. Is there a way to report it stolen to Apple without having to look on the actual device for the serial number? I mean, there has to be another way to report it because those who need to report it stolen no longer have access to the serial number!

You don't. Report it to the police, and your insurer if it would be covered.

How do you download movie trailers form apple/iTunes

That exactly.....
How?
Thanks

Some of the movie trailers just can't be downloaded, have that in mind.
For those that are downloadable:
1. First make sure that
b Enable kiosk mode
is checked (
i System Preferences>QuickTime>Advanced
Once the movies have been loaded completely into the browser (that is, when the bar across the bottom has changed to darker gray) you can either click on the little triangle in the bottom right corner (just like the previous post explains) and select a save option or control-click the body of the movie, a contextual menu will appear with the same options. Do the same thing.

IPod passes Apple battery test but only lasts 2hrs during normal use

I have a 1st generation iPod mini; the battery has been acting up lately. I have done Apple's battery test a few times; each time the battery lasts for 6-8 hrs. However, during normal use, it lasts only 1.5-2hrs, even after a full charge.
I have this problem even when the backlight and the EQ is off. Also, the battery dies, even though the battery meter is half full. If I immediatly turn on the iPod, the meter is empty, but after 20 min, it's half full again. When I try to play music, it turns off.
On top of this, the battery takes a minmum of 8hrs to fully charge!
Please help...!

My ipod mini 2nd generation was like this too.. it would reset itself resetting the time also for no reason every 20mins.. and it wouldnt hold a charge.. i sent it in thursday and i should get it back this week.. if your ipod is in warranty.. send it back asap!

Itunes got erased, can i transfer from Ipod back into itunes?

Greetings,
I did an update to my Apple and all of my itunes and iphoto got erased. The songs are still listed but there are exclamations next to each song and they wont play. I didnt have it backed up in time machine because i didnt realize i had to (im a new mac owner and currently in the process of hooking up my time machine). However, I still have every song and picture still on my IPOD Classic. Is there anyway to transfer them from the ipod back into my computer, or are they erased from my computer for good? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to iTunes/preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'Command + Option' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Try iPodDisk. This is a program designed to transfer music from iPod to computer.
Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.
If you want to retrieve playlists, iPodRip has the feature enabling you to reconstruct them.
If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Copy. (Windows only)
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.
