Finding my stolen iTouch

So earlier this week my Ipod Touch was stolen from me, and I was wondering if there were any ways to find it.
I did not have MobileMe, any GPS apps, and use Wifi only, but I did have TextNow, Facetime, and Runtastic Pro, and was not sure if any of those apps could be used to find it.
I've tried sending texts and facetime requests with friends' phones, but nothing. However, Runtastic uses GPS to find the location you are jogging around, so is there any way I can use that to find my Itouch?
I've registered it as lost/stolen, but I'm out of ideas now. If nothing works, I'll just have to buy a new one.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, is there any way to at least have it be flagged by Apple in case it is taken to a store for repairs, etc? Probably unlikely that it will be, but whatever helps I suppose.

How to find my stolen itouch

My Itouch was stolen. How do I locate it? can I search by serial number?

The SN will not help you. Even the "Find my..." function is somewhat useless if the thief has half a brain.
There is no protection for the device itself. However, you can easily protect your information. In the future, use a secure password (eight characters) and configure the device to automatically wipe clean after ten consecutive unsuccessful password attempts.

Finding stolen itouch?

My iTouch was stolen, I filed a police report and have the serial number. A friend told me that if I called 1-800-my apple they could locate it for me, she said it was how she found her stolen ipod. I called and they said they could when I got the police file case # (at the time I hadnt filed a report) Looking online today though most people say apple will do nothing, and that its not true. Is it? If its not is there anything at all I can possibly do. They have access to my emails and my everything. They tried to buy things on my account but apple shut it down after they failed the password so many times.

I could be wrong but I think they can only do this if you subscribed to the service called "Mobile Me".

Outside of that - I do not think they can find it for you.
I looked into the Mobile Me service and at this time I did not find it worth it. Its $99 a year. Other than the finding service it offers - all the other stuff it offers is not something I would be interested in. So for me - it would be $99 a year for the ability to find my lost/stolen iTouch. Two years of that and you can just buy a new one. I just don't see the value. They would need to offer this service for around $25 for to to buy.
Maybe they should sell tiers of Mobile Me. $25 gets you the lost/stolen service, $50 gets you that plus back up. $99 gets the full thing.
Anyway - sorry to rant. But I don't think the ycan help you unless you bought Mobile Me.

Tracking a stolen itouch

can a stolen itouch be tracked?

Hi Robert,
I can only think of two possible solutions for your problem here you can alert the police (although you probably have) or you can track it using the free app Find My iPhone although I think you may of had to register it on the ipod.
If none of this helps I'm sorry for your inconveniecne.

Recovering MAC address of a stolen iTouch

Not that I'm holding my breath, but is there a way to get the MAC address of a stolen iTouch? It's got to be stored by iTunes somehow... And, assuming I find the MAC address, is there any way to locate the iTouch?

Hi,
If you don't already have the serial number, you may be able to get it from iTunes by holding the Control key and clicking Help > About iTunes, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1459#one

Mobileme find my iphone/itouch

Hey everyone, I am new to this forums, but anyways, here is my question: I lost/had my itouch 4 stolen ,on Feb.9 '11. I MAY have lost it a school(can't find it at home), I've already asked ALL my teachers ,and checked lost and found there - a few times ,and it STILL hasn't turned up - yet. Plus, I've contacted the apple store to see if they could help me. But, they say they can't ; they don't have have a way to track it- without find my iphone/itouch - OF COURSE not - they gave me suggestions instead ;I asked about if my free limited warranty qualify me to get a new one (I may have dropped it ,and it may have had minor physical defects on it; but don't remember); OF COURSE, they say I don't qualify (they said it doesn't have any physical defects on it; I tried to tell them I don't know). Any way, I was wondering if I set up my mobileme find my iphone/itouch on my computer /or someone else's idevice could I track /locate my itouch 4 via someone else's idevice (or even my computer by itself)- (I now have it installed on my itunes account,but not before I lost/had my itouch 4 stolen (of course I didn't KNOW this was going to happen!!!!), can ANYONE HELP ME?!

You have to set up Find My iPhone on MobileMe BEFORE it is lost, at this point there is no way to do so unless you could get access to your Touch and turn Find My iPhone on.
Doesn't matter what shape your Touch was in, a warranty is NOT insurance and does not cover loss or theft. If you bought a new car and failed to get insurance do you really think Ford will give you a new car under your warranty?
Hope you reported it to the police, and good luck with getting it back. If it was purchase with a parent's credit card it is possible it was covered under an CC insurance plan, also have them check their homeowner's insurance.

Stolen iTouch 2G

Just curious. I recently had my 16 GB iTouch 2G stolen. I did not have any security enabled on the device, although it was engraved on the back and I have the serial number and the MAC address for the device. Seems that the MAC address would be a unique identifier, although not necessarily readily available over the network.
Was wondering if Apple has a way to track devices with that information or a method to otherwise disable the device? I already reported it stolen to "Apple" and to the local police. Not too optimistic about getting it back, but seems like there should be a way to find it given the high tech world that we live in.

Ok so from what I've read Apple has no way to track stolen devices nor can they help you. I contacted Apple today petaining to my stolen Itouch and told them that it was registered through Itunes. I couldn't find anything pertaining to ipods registered through my account and when they put me on hold while they talked with their supervisor and the representative notified me that they couldn't give me the serial number of the ipods registered to me (it is private information). Now Apple has an outside company listed on their website which mentions that they can track your Ipod, Itouch, etc., it will lock up the device and instruct the person to return it to the rightful owner and supposedly it can help you track the device. But of course I don't have the serial number to initate this. To end off I asked the rep if there was anything else he can suggest and he said that he could give me information to the nearest Apple store, to buy a new one, I really wanted to cuss him out at this point. I am not impressed with the lack of support and the sheer disrespect with that suggestion alone! Yes Apple is out to make more money.

i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......
Thnks

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

Is t apple has some solution to find the stolen iphone

If you said you have Find My iPhone installed, you can access that from any internet connection. Just log in at http://www.icloud.com and go to the app.
Apple won't help you directly.
But do call your local authorities.

TS4006 how can i find my stolen imac i do have cloud id

how can i find my stolen imac ? i do have cloud id.

You have to have an iCloud account, and you have to enabled the 'Find my iPad' app on the iPad prior to losing it. When lost, it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. If any of these conditions is not true it's not possible to locate it.
To attempt to locate it if you have set it up prior to lsing it, go to http://icloud.com and go to the 'Find My Phone' app there. However any competent thief will have disabled the ability to track it.

How to find my stolen i phone

how to find my stolen i phone

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
