How do I locate a stolen iPod Touch?

My iPod Touchwas stolen. The police are involved. We actually have a video of the guy stealing it at McDonald`s. We just don`t know who he is. How can I track my iPod to find out where it is when all I have is the serial number? I mean, is there a built in gps that can track where the iPod is?

How could I locate my stolen iPod Touch if the serial number is known and the device was already connected to iTune by the thief and connected to his apple ID

My iPod Touch was stolen on the airport in vienna and already noticed to the local police.
Is it possible to locate the thief, since he has alrady connected the device to iTunes and applied to his apple ID.
(it is not longer in the reladed list of my apple ID - when I type in the serial number I get the message, that the device is related to another apple ID)
Is there any way for the local police, to get the information of the actual apple ID of the thief from apple?

A little more information:
- 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How do I locate a stolen iPod touch. The GPS location is on, but I don't think I ever downloaded "Find my iPod" app. Is there hope for the apple support to track it?

How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

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 with a serial number?

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 #.

HT204053 How do I locate my lost iPod touch

How do I locate my lost iPod touch

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).

Need to locate a stolen Ipod touch, how do I do this

I have the serial number of the Ipod Touch, will this help?

No. It won't help you locate it. All you can do is give the number to the police.
If Find my iPod was not enabled, it can NOT be located.

How to locate a stolen ipod touch?

I recently sold an ipod touch via Ebay. The buyer claims she did not receive my ipod inside the untampered box delivered by UPS. She states only the usb cord and gel case arrived. Ebay made a final decision that she is entitled to a full refund. As a result, I am out my ipod touch and the proceeds from the sale. So, how can I track activity on my old ipod? How can I get the serial number off my itunes account? Please help!

Sorry, but there's no way for you to track your iPod at all, much less see any activity from it. You'll need to fight this out with eBay. Perhaps the shipping weight of the box might help in convincing eBay that you shipped the iPod, not just a case and cord, though they may not consider the weight as proof since you could have loaded the box with dead weight. This is unfortunately one of the major problems with selling by eBay. I hope you can resolve something with them, though it doesn't appear likely.
As to the serial number, follow these steps:
Hold down the Control key and choose Help > About iTunes (Windows) or iTunes > About iTunes (Mac).
Release the Control key.
As the iTunes and QuickTime version information scrolls, you will see the serial number of the last connected iPod.
Regards.

How can I locate my lost iPod Touch if my location was off and user ID was changed?

I lost 3 Apple devices during house break in. How can I locate my lost Apple devices if my location was turn off,
without "Find My Phone" apps and user ID was changed. The 3 devices are iPod Touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs.
I had made a Police Report and was told that I can request to get information to track my devices upon WIFI or
internet connection. I hope "APPLE" team will help me to track my devices with IP locations, GPS, built in compass,
or quickly send directions, updated informations and mobile data to find out and coordinates them.
Given point will also help the police to capture them.
Awaiting your reply.
Thank you. Rgd,
Sean Khor

There is no Apple here, just users like you and me. Apple does not provide nor have that information, as far as I know, but if police needs that information, they have a legal way of contacting Apple. If I were you I would avoid trusting Internet forum, assessable by anyone with your personal information.
