- 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.

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

  • How do i track a stolen ipod touch

    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 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 Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

    2nd Generation ipod Touch

    Hello, Tommyty,
    I am sorry you have lost your iPod.  You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically.  Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you. 
    Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
    Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
    Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
    No.
    Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and  "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
    If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number.  Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
    Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number.  This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
    Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
    "Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you. 
    If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it.  In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
    Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
      • you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
      • someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
      • the police may find it after you have reported it stolen
