How do i know if my lost ipod touch has been reset?

I have lost it a couple of days ago and am using FIND MY IPHONE and it says that my iPod is offline. Does this mean it has been reset or it is still out there?

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.

I've tried to restore it, I've tried to jailbreak it. NOTHING works!! PLEASE HELP!!!

  • How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    It will not download if you already have it.
    Just to be 100% clear …
    Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
    Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
    You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
    Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
    Can you also tell us what system you have?
    Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
    10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

    It seems as your iOS Software Is most likely corrupt. Try doing a software restore in iTunes by clicking in your iPod and clicking the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring.

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
