I lost my ipod touch-how do I find it using Location services?

I lost my iPod touch in a club last Saturday. Was on, had a passcode on it but I didn't have Find My iPhone installed. I'm not sure if this is correct information, but an Apple store clerk said that I would still be able to track it if I had registered it with iCloud, which I have done
What you needed to have already done was to have went to Settings>iCloud and turned FindMyiPod on.
. The problem is, though, even if this information is true, how will I be able to find it? It's an iPod touch with no GSM/CDMA capabilities. Therefore, it cannot be found unless it was connected to Wi-Fi.
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. Thus, wifi has to be on.
But how would that be possible unless the person who found it knows my passcode?
Wifi just has to be on and connected to report its postition to you by going to icloud.com as explained in a previous reply.
I'm guessing that if the person wipes and restores the device, I will have no way of finding it... unless it works off the serial number?
If the iPod is restored, you can no longer find it via icloud.com. I uses turning FIndMyiPod on, not the SN,.
Thanks.

  • I have lost my iPod touch how do i find it

    i was walkimg and noticed it wasnt in my pocket i sent myself a message and it doesnt say delivered so i was singed out of imessage? i need help how do i find it

    iPod touch doesn't have a cellular connection like iPhone. Unless it picks up a network, and it has Find my iPhone enabled, unfortunately you will need to buy a new iPod.

  • I lost my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Find my iPhone application was not installed. Is there any way if I can find it or else I can lock the device so nobody uses it?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - 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 my ipod touch how to report it

    I lost my ipod touch 5th generation(32GB) at a club yesterday, its registered in my icloud and I have put it in lost mode but it really doesn't help me, problems are its dead, well it died the very last time I had it on me, it needs a passcode to access it and since its an ipod it needs wifi to connect to any internet in order to track it from icloud... now if someone found it and tries to sell it or pawn it how can I report it stolen, I still have the box with the serial number, would I have to tell the police the serial number?

    Hi  ..

    What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
    Authorities need the serial number to idenitfy the device.

  • I lost my iPod Touch 4th generation and I've used iCloud and Find My iPhone

    I lost my iPod Touch 4th G and I've tried using iCloud and Find My iPhone. But all it says is "Offline." Sadly it's not connected to the internet . There is also no passcode on the iPod so whoever has it can easily access to my personal information. Is there any other way to locate it without wifi?? (The answer is most likely no, but...... I still wanted to ask.)

    No

  • Stolen itouch! how do i find it without location services?

    My itouch ws stolen this morning, and im wondering how to find it. I havent got the location services tuned on, and im not sure if the find my iphone app was enabled. Do i still have a chance on finding it?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Sorry, no. The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPod Touch or iPhone is by using Find My Phone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be turned on, on your Touch. If not, then there's no way to locate it now.
    Change your passwords & report the loss to the Police, & your Insurance company.

  • Lost my ipod touch but it has find my iphone installed on it

    just wondering how do i get back my lost ipod touch through the find my iphone app? i couldnt find it on my lidt when i signed in to the app?

    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 your bank or any 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.

  • HT201365 i erased an ipod touch how do i find it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

  • Someone stole my ipod touch how can i find it

    I was at school and I was playing vollyball. When i was done my ipod was gone. Is there anyway i can find it using gps.

    The only way to find it is if you turned on Find My from Settings > iCloud, and then registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone.  If you did that you login to iCloud, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.
    If you not do any of that there is no chance of finding it.
