How do i track my stolen ipods?

How do I track my stolen ipods?

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.

    how do i track a stolen ipod touch

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an iPod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.1.2. I will be glad to help solve your problem with your iPod/iPad/or iPhone.
    Thats a good idea!
    Lost or Stolen iPod/iPad/or iPhone:
    If you have turned on “Find my iPod/iPad/or iPhone recently, then you can find it, by following these steps:
    Log into www.icloud.com with the Apple I.D. Associated with your iPod/iPad/or iPhone
    Click on Devices
    Click on the device that has gone lost
    Either put it in Lost Mode (suggested), or make it play a sound. (PLEASE NOTE: DEVICE MUST BE CONNECTED TO WIFI IN ORDER FOR THESE TO HAPPEN)
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, could you please reply back as soon as possible, as I will try to find another solution to your problem.
    Sincerely,
    Pizza98704

    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 #.

  • How do i track my stolen ipod

    my ipod touch was recently stolen at school and im trying to see if it can be tracked or its recent activity, if any.. please??

    If you turned on Find My iPad before it was stolen, you can track it on icloud.com using your computer as long as it is turned on, has a connection to the internet and your settings haven't been changed.  This explains how: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  Unfortunately, theives usually know how to change your settings to keep it from being tracked, but maybe you'll get lucky.

  • How can I track my stolen iPod by S/N?

    Hi, this is my first post in here. However, this is a sad post.
    I work as a student lab. assistant in the biology department at City College of San Francisco. Today my iPod got stolen...I want to ask that would it be possible that Apple can track who is using my iPod when that guy plug my iPod to access iTunes?
    Or, what can I do besides nothing?
    Thanks.

  • How to track my stolen ipod

    how can i track my stolen ipod touch?

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod being stolen, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled or the iPod been completely restored). 
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.
