How to UNDO lost mode if device is actually found

Hi all!
Son's POD 5th gen was lost last week (or 'found' by someone else).
We put it in lost mode and it was pending a 'play sound' and 'lost mode'.
Well - someone actually called us!  They had bought it on craigslist and went to plug it in to their computer and our phone number message showed up.
We are supposed to get it back tonight.
My question is...how will I get it out of lost mode?  Will it know that it is 'home' when we plug it into our itunes?
Thanks for any help!!

If the iPod already had a a screen lock passcode, you should just be able to enter that and unlock your iPod. If not, iCloud asked y to ender a four diget passcode when you placed it in losst mode. Use that passcode to unlock it. If necessary:
iCloud: Erase your device
and reset up the iPod or:
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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

    Hello Erkhes,
    You'll need to take the device to an authorized service center or Apple Store to restore access to your device.
    Note:   If you forget the passcode, or if you set an EFI firmware password on your Mac before it was lost, then lock it and later find it, you may need to take it to an authorized repair center to unlock it.

    If you didn't enable find my iphone in icloud settings on your phone, then you can't do a lost mode or lock your phone.
    I would assume you had a passcode on your phone to lock it.  If you didn't then start changing your passwords.
    Report the lost to your phone carrier - local authorities.

  • Since iTunes update my PC will not see other devices keep getting message The procedure entry point sqlite 3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite 3.dll, how do I get my other devices to be found?

    Since iTunes updated my PC my  other devices are not seen and I keep getting message "The procedure entry point sqlite 3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite 3.dll", how do I get my other devices to be found? or do I have to remove all Apple software.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Activate Lost mode when device not registered?

    Hello All,
    they say we live n' learn !
    I lost my beloved iPhone4 yesterday...& have since found out all about 'find my iPhone'  &  'Lost mode'...thin is my 'device' was not registered to iCloud !!
    so my question is....is there anyway possible of 'registering it' whilst I do not have it ?  Or anyway it can be activated remotely into 'lost mode' without it being a registered device ?
    ThankYou

    Activation Lock, Lost Mode, Remote Wipe are all  iCloud-based features.
    No iCloud, no feature. And yeah, the registration needs to be done on the device.

  • How to undo "Erase" from iCloud's Find My iPhone?

    Hello,
    I lost my iPhone4 last night, the person who stole it switched it off right away. I logged into iCloud and activated Lost mode THEN Erase. I found out later that when I Erase the phone, which will happen once the phone is connected to the internet, I will not be able to track it via iCloud or do anything anymore.
    Now the phone is still switched off, how can I "undo erase" so it doesn't erase when it's switched on? Thanks.

    Sorry, there is no way for you to reverse the Erase command. AppleCare "may" be able to, you can try calling them, but there is nothing you can do.

  • Someone keeps putting my iPhone into lost mode in my other cloud account, and I keep getting out. How do I switch the cloud account to this one, so they won't be able to do it again

    Well, for the last week someones been putting my iPhone constantly in lost mode using my apple account and I keep getting out because I know my own password. I want to change the password but two other people I know use it, (who definetly wouldn't do this), someone else probably got ahold of the account and is spamming the phones into lost mode. I'm not in lost mode currently by the way. This repetition is really a hassle for me because I'm not always connected to the internet to get out of the lost mode, a few days ago, I went on a 12 hour flight and both my apple devices were probably put into the lost mode and I wasn't able to use my iPhone or iPad to do work and entertainment purposes. I was literally sitting there for 12 hours! So now that you sat through my problem, which I thank you for greatly, how do I switch apple/cloud accounts on my devices so this won't happen again? I hope you can give my solution, if there is one out there, and thank you in advance for atleast trying to solve my problem.

    The only way this can happen is with access to your id and password
    Read this and focus on "changing your Apple id"

  • My ipod 5 was stolen but I have find my ipod installed on it but my ipod isn't/never was connected to a wifi network when it was stolen so how will my ipod play sound or go on lost mode and if there's no wifi connected to it?

    my ipod 5 was just recently stolen in a waterpark (same with my best friend) and when i went on to find my ipod I pressed play sound and lost mode but it never successfully did all those things because my ipod wasn't or isn't connected to a wifi network as it says in the app. so how will I ever find my ipod if it never is going to connect to a wifi network without the thief accessing my ipod (I have a passcode). and also when I check the app once in a while it says ipod is online but cannot find location, so does that mean the thief is using my ipod or is trying to get in?

    Yo are correct. It has to connect to internet for the FindMyiPhne features to be transmitted to the iPod
    lost/stolen                                     
    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 conbtinue 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.

  • Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending."  However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

    Hi,
    My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country).  Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound.  However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
    We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
    However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
    If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
    I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot.  Is that true?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    - Matt

    just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!
    apologies if i've broke any rules!

  • How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?

    How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?

    I have already tried this and it doesn't work. It only says no devices. Suppose this means that whoever stole it have already wiped the memory so they can use or sell it. Although I would think the serial number should be connected to the hardware permanently somehow. Don't know how you do that on an iPad that requires a pass code to login to.
