How to report a stolen ipod?

I was told that I could come onto the apple site and report my already registered ipod as stolen so that the thief would not be able to add music to it, but the site seems pretty worthless on any subject of the nature of stolen items. Before I start randomly calling the tech support numbers and getting put on hold for days at a time, I wanted to leave a post here to see if anyone has any information about telling Apple that my ipod was stolen. Or is there a way to email apple? I wasn't able to find that either. Thanks to anyone who can help!

less than a year ago i purchased an ipod photo and it was recently stolen. It is inconceivable to me that nothing can be done to assist in locating it. I am a registered user of Apple.Com, iTunes, and my iPod is/was registered... Even to be able to say that someone is attempting to update an ipod on a system that you are not registered to... Why do we register? What's the point? Im so frustrated that I now only have part of the music on iTunes available to me (and nothing to play it on except my home pc) and that my iPod is gone and Apple 'cant' assist in locating it, that I dont think I will purchase a new iPod, nor will I suggest anyone else purchase one.
iPod Color/Photo 30 or 60 Gig - the big one.   Windows XP   My iPod has been Stole and noone can help?

    how do i report my stolen ipod

    File a police report and include your serial number. You can only block/erase files if you had Find My iPod set up on the device, otherwise you are SOL.

  • Ipod lost by Fedex, How to report it stolen to Apple ?

    My new Ipod mini was lost by Fedex. I filed a claim and am waiting for reimbursement to buy another. Does anyone know if Apple has a department to call or e-mail to report my Ipod mini's serial number stolen, so in case someone does find it or if they find it and decide to register it, that I could be notified?

    I believe that someone else on this board stated that Apple does not track stolen iPods. However, you can report that an iPod was stolen to the police. Considering your situation, you may want to contact Apple though, and tell them what happened. They may give you some sort of reimbursement/help due to it being lost in shipment. However, as always, don't expect anything.
    If you ever need to contact Apple, you can call this number: 1800-MY-APPLE. When you do, they'll list off several options from which you can choose for the specific type of help that you need.
    I hope this helps and that everything works out in the end for you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Report to police. Apple does nothing and does not want to know.

  • How to report that my ipod was stolen

    my ipod was stolen but has a password on it can anybody help me track it with mobile me on it

    See:
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    Go to icloud.com. Sing in and click on FIndMyiPhone. If wifi is on and connected, yu can find its general location. You can also send it a message that is displayed and wipe the iPod. If you wipe it you can not longer locate or comunicate with it. The find feature can be disabled by turning the iPod off. It can be permently removed by restoring the ioOd.
    Apple will not help with anything
    Report it to the police and change passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • How to track my stolen ipod only using the serial number

    I had my iPod stolen from me sometime within the last week. I changed my iCloud password tonight & I was just wondering if there is any way I can track it using the serial number because I did not set up "find my iPhone" before it was stolen. It was not locked (the password when you first turn it on.) Please help me! I still have one year warranty on it too. Can anybody tell me how to go about fixing the problem? I have serial number if you can track it that way. Please get back to me with your responses asap . thx

    No. The SN will only help idenitfy the iPod as yours if it is recovered.

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
