Can you track a lost or stolen ipod

can you track a lost or stolen ipod

- 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.

  • HT1689 Can you locate a lost or stolen iPod?

    Mine recently got lost and is probably in the hands of someone else. I was wondering if locating a lost iPod is possible. Please answer and thank you.

    Find my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1 and greater) - http://images.apple.com/ipod-touch/icloud/#find -
    The following conditions ALL have to be met:
    1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
    2) The device is turned on.
    3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad).
    4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).
    If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
    Frankly in the case of a stolen iPod this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts.

  • Can you track a lost/stolen ipod touch

    MY ipod touch was lost/stolen. I thought I heard someone say at some point that these devices had something in them that allowed you to "track" where they are. Anyone know anything about this? I really want my baby back!

    Unless you have a MobileMe account on your iPod Touch with Find My iPod Touch activated, you are out of luck. http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/iphone.html

  • How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

    Lost my I phone last December 7, 2014, Can you track it?

    We are al iPhone users just like you.  No one here, nor Apple can track it.
    If you turned on find my iPhone, on the iPhone itself before it was lost and it is still on, then you may be able to track via iCloud.  As it has been a year, that is very, very unlikely.

  • HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

    2nd Generation ipod Touch

    Hello, Tommyty,
    I am sorry you have lost your iPod.  You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically.  Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you. 
    Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
    Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
    Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
    No.
    Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and  "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
    If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number.  Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
    Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number.  This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
    Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
    "Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you. 
    If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it.  In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
    Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
      • you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
      • someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
      • the police may find it after you have reported it stolen
