How to find your stolen iPod touch

My 4th generation white 16 GB iPod was stolen and I am wondering if there's a way to find or track it down

If you setup iCloud and enabled Find My iPod on it before it was stolen, you may be able to track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If it was stolen, it' highly unlikely this will work, however, since criminals know how to restore the device, removing your settings, thereby disabling Find My iPod.  Your best bet is to change all your passwords, contact the police and your insurance company.

  • How to find a stolen ipod touch?

    I recently believe my ipod has been stolen. I have the Find my iPhone app, and it's currently not finding the location. I also changed passwords of all my accounts on there already. Is there anything else I can do to try and find it?

    Hi,
    Your iPod has to be in range of a strong enough Wi-fi signal in order to be tracked via Find My iPod Touch with MobileMe.  Report it to the police. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Can someone find my stolen iPod Touch for me?

    I bought my last iPod Touch at the Bakersfield, California Valley Plaza Mall Target store, but a thief stole it from me at the Bakersfield, California Truxtun-and-S Kern County Beale Memorial Public Library when I, while walking around the second floor for some exercise, had kept it on one of the patron second-floor desks still attached to my Motion Computing Tablet PC during downloading an OS update. The last post I had added to that same iPod Touch was a video of the use of a Spencer ******** sleeve with some lubrication they don't sell in their store. Yet, that video got stuck in transit in a holding cell while a new iOS update began. If that thief ever turns on my iPod Touch, my PC will notify me of that pod's whereabouts immediately. Why did that iOS update occur right at that moment when that same ******** video was to be either accepted or rejected as too obscene? My face is not in the video, which, in spite of its sexual content, might actually be educational and perhaps also business savvy. I made and posted the video because I wanted to convey my need for a real person to make love to, certainly not an object at all. The ******** sleeve makes my ***** look ridiculously like Alice in Wonderland dressed in her rings as depicted in some of the original illustrations in that fictional title's original book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Why did those spies get really calm and quiet all of a sudden?! Can someone please find my stolen iPod Touch for me? If that thief turns that pod on, I might get that Target refund card, which I might use to buy another iPod Touch because I love its Photoshop Express' photo-editing and graphic-design features. If I ever get another iPod Touch, however, I won't take it to the library or the bus stop, where I won't stand around using the Internet. Instead, I'll just use it as a second camera and photo-editing tool.

    No one can find it for you. If you did not set up Find My Phone, then it cannot be found.

    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • How to find a lost iPod Touch with IOS 4.3 installed?

    How do you go about finding a lost iPod Touch with IOS 4.3 installed? I had updated my iPod Touch to IOS 4.3 and I had read something about the update having the ability to help one find their lost device.
    Is there documentation anywhere that outlines how this works?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Here is Apple's document on "Find my iPod Touch"...

    And here is setting it up more in detail.

  • How to block my stolen ipod touch via serial number

    can anyone knows how to block my ipod touch 5th gen via serial number ? the one who stole my ipod touch has the capabilities about idevices .. i want atleast to block my stolen ipod for them not to use it or atleast that device is not being a useful one .. sorry for my bad english hope you guys get my point,many thanks in advace .. please suggestions?

    You can't block (nor locate) it via the serial number.
    If you had Find My iPod enabled on it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPod disabled on it (if it was on iOS 7 as your tagline suggests then Find My iPod should be harder to disable).
    You've reported it to the police ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • Am I able to find my stolen iPod touch even though I didn't put a tracking device on it before it was stolen?

    It seems that someone has stolen my iPod touch at my school.
    I didnt put a tracking device on it before it was stolen.
    So I was curious as to whether it's forever lost or somehow I am still able to find out where it's at?

    There is no need of a 'tracking device'. Hope you turned on the Find my iPhone button in the Settings app. If you did, just go to www.icloud.com , signin with your Apple ID, go to devices and from there you will be able to locate it's position, erase, seta  passcode, play sound, display a message, etc. remotely! Note that this works only when the iPod is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    If you didn't turn on the Find my iPhone setting, you are out of luck!

  • TS4006 how to find my lost ipod touch

    How do I find my sons lost Ipod touch ?

    You had installed the "Find iPhone" app? With this app you can find your iPod Touch or send a sound/message. If you haven't that app, sorry but you can't do anything else. (For using this app, iPod must be conected to the internet).

  • How to find my lost ipod touch?

    I lost my ipod touch a few months ago, I thought I just misplaced it but I think it might have been stolen. Is there any way to track it? It's obviously linked to my apple account, if I called apple could they tell me if anyone has used it or what general geographical location it might be in?

    Apple has no access to where your iPod is because that would be a violation of the privacy policy. The only way it can be tracked is if its still on, has your apple Id on it, had find my iPhone turned on, and is connected to wifi. You will sign into iCloud.com and choose the find my iPhone feature. If your iPod meets those conditions, you'll see it on a map there

  • How to get back stolen Ipod Touch?

    JUST lost my Ipod touch. well I was at the park..we had "practice" today(dancing) & well I brought my brothers. brother was touching it & left it on top of my bag. there were these 2 girls one was bout my age(12) & one was like probably 9? later brother walked home but I stayed awhile then when I was bout to go home I notice it was gone..had a fear they(the girls) took it but also thought my brother took it. so went walking & brother came & I asked if he had it & he said no. went back & asked instructor & others. I trust they wouldn't take it..so one of an older guy friend looked for it but couldn't find it. Instructor said that if he found it he would keep it til I come again. SO I am pretty sure they took it. I have my tracking device on.

    My iPod touch was stolen and I can't find my serial number. I though when I registered it with apple it would be on my account but not luck. I need help finding out how to get my serial number?????

    The serial number will not help you find it.
    You can give it to police so they can identify it if one is found/recovered.

  • 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.

    If you had Mackeeper installed you would be able to track it. Report it stolen through Mackeeper Anti-theft and it would be located when it went online. Great program. Highly reccomend the program.
    err, isn't Mackeeper a computer program only, not a mobile device app?  And even if it were available for a mobile device like the iPod Touch, it suffers from exactly the same limitations as Apple's own find-my-iPod.  All a theif needs do is plug the iPod into iTunes, restore as new, and everything previously installed and set up on the device is wiped out.
    Relying on any remote tracking software that requires a data connection is weak security at best.  Even a Mac computer can have the hard drive reformatted and the OS reinstalled if stolen by someone intent on resale, destroying any such tracking software.  With the device in someone elses hands, relying on any software solution to find the device is flawed, as there is almost always going to be a simple way to circumvent the online tracking feature.
