How do I lock my ipod touch if it was stolen

Hi, How do I lock my ipod touch if it was stolen?

You can only remotely lock it IF you had an iCloud account installed and IF you had enabled the "find my iPod" setting for that iCloud account.  If that was done before it was stolen, you might be able to log in to your iCloud account in a web browser and lock it.  If it is not connected to a wifi data network though, you cannot do anything to it remotely anyway.
Of course, if it was unlocked to begin with, the thief has had full access this whole time, so locking it now might be largely pointless.  The thief may also have gone in and simply disabled the "find my iPod" setting, making it untrackable anyway.
Really, the time to apply a passcode lock is BEFORE the device is stolen or lost - after the fact is largely a waste of time.  Much the same as locking your house doors after you've been robbed.

  • TS4006 My Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation was stolen if the thief signed out of my iCloud account on the device will it go away on the web map on my computer and keep me from locking it remotely?

    My Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation was stolen if the thief signed out of my iCloud account on the device will it go away on the web map on my computer and keep me from locking it remotely? I was asking my grandmother who works in apple tech support at at&t but she didnt know. so im hoping somebody will come by and say yes to my question because my iPod touch is still appearing in my iCloud.com account.

    Yes. If it was signed out from iCloud, it will disappear from the Devices list in Find my iPhone.

    - 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.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - 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. The plocie will dolittle except if they recover it they can return it to you.
    - 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.

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

    Nothing... why would they do anything?
    Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

  • I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

    Restopre from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Also,
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    I gave my grandson an IPOD touch and it was stolen before he registered it with ICLOUD.  Is there any way to track it?

    If your iPod was purchased with a credit card, check with the card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.

  • How can I find my iPod touch if it was not registered?

    It is recently bought and didn't manage to register it. Is there any chance to find it knowing only the serial number?

    The iPod can't be locatd by its SN.  The SN can only be used to verify tha the iPod is yous when it is found.
    If you had already set up
    Apple - iPod touch - How to set up Find My iPod touch
    then you might be able to locate the iPod if wifi is on and some other conditions are met.  Apple will not help locate your iPod.  Also see:

  • How can I find my iPod touch if it got stolen?

    Hey I got my iPod stolen, any way how to get it back?

    Look for it.
    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 a bank or any other 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.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • My ipod touch 3d generation was stolen and it helped me dearly at school will apple send me a new one ?????, my ipod touch 3d generation was stolen and it helped me dearly at school will apple send me a new one ?????

     

    Apple will send you a new iPod if you send them money. Otherwise, no, they won't, any more than any other company would send you a free product to replace one that was lost or stolen.
    Sorry about the theft. As B-Rock said, report it to the police and your school administration. If you had Find My iPod set up on the device (which would require a paid MobileMe subscription), you might be able to track the iPod and give that location information to the police.
    Regards.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
