restore problems with ipod touch

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

    Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

  • My iPod Touch 32 GB 4th Genereation is stolen. I didnt not remember to turn on the Find My IPhone App in my Settings. Is there anyway that I can track down my Ipod Touch by using the serial number on the casing or anyother solutions?

    My IPod Touch 32 GB 4th generation was stolen. I didnt put the Find My IPhone to enabled. Is there an solutions of how i can track my IPod down? Please help?

    i can probably answer this part for you. in our bills and laws the privacy act was added. this made it so information among other things cannot be attained without a warrent or permission of the person being "searched or in this case located". if apple were to merely locate the ipod without the proper paperwork and authorities involved they could face serious fines aswell as jail time. so even though your ipod was stolen by someone else it is now in their possesion and therefor you cannot turn a feature on to locate it without that persons permission. however the way the "find my ipod app" works is it is designed to locate the ipod alone. this is why it can be activated by the owner with their permission. you can get the police involved however without knowing who stole it the warrent cannot be obtained. im sorry but i hope this helped you understand this isnt apples fault but laws are laws.

  • TS3376 what is going on with the find my iphone app,i use IOS 6.1.1 and i have updated the find my iphone app and now i cant locate my device

    some help or some explanation would be nice because i rly need this app and now after the update im not able to locate my device

    Not sure if it would help or not, but if you haven't already done so, some things you could try are:
    Tap Sign Out on the top right of the app, then sign back in
    Force close the app by going to the home screen, double-tapping the home button, locating the app in the list at the bottom, tapping and holding the app until it wiggles, tapping to close it, then tapping the home button again.
    Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Find My iPhone off, the after a minute or so, turn it back on.

  • I cannot turn off my find my iPhone app to restore my phone, i keep getting this message that says There is a problem deregistering this phone with iCloud

    i need help overriding this error message to turn off "find my iPhone" so I can restore>

    Why can't you turn it off? If you forgot your password, re-set it at https://iforgot.apple.com
    If it's activated with someone else's iCloud account, contact the owner of the account it's locked with.

  • Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    The Find My IPhone app is used to find OTHER lost devices, it does nothing to make your device "findable".  To make it findable, you must turn on "Find My IPhone" in settings. And than you need location services on.  This however does not guarantee that you'll always find it if lost. A thief can set it to factory settings, even remove the sim card. Then it'll be unfindable.

  • Can the Find My iPhone app use a serial number to locate lost iPod Touch 4g

    I lost my iPod Touch 4g and want to find with the Find my iPhone app. I'm using my brother's iPhone 4s to locate it. Can I use a serial number to locate. I lost it in school (in the Administrations office) so I know it won't be stolen. I had them search the whole building and found nothing. My school has Wi-Fi. I got the serial number from iTunes back up.

    The find my iDevice works through iCloud.  What you needed to have done before it went missing was setup an iCloud account on the device, then enable the find my device slider setting to "ON" under that account's settings.
    If you did not do that, it is not trackable.
    There is no way to track it by serial number.
    Also, in order to be trackable it has to be powered on and connected to a data connection.  A wifi-only device like an iPod Touch powers off the wifi radio when running on the battery, so if it has gone into sleep mode, it would not be trackable until or unless woken up by someone so it could re-acquire a data connection with a wifi network.

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - 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.
    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.

  • Can I use the Find my Iphone app on Itunes?

    Hi, I was wondering if i could use the find my iphone app on itunes, i do not own any other apple device except my phone.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use the find my phone app on your phone if you want, however there doesn't seem much point, since you will have it in your hand when you are using it and therefore know where it is.
    You can enable the find my phone feature through settings >Icloud, and then track your phone at iCloud.com, should it be lost or stolen.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    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. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. 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:

  • TS4006 is it possible to get the find my iphone app on my ipod touch?

    My iphone just got stolen and i cant access the find my iphone app because i only have the ipod touch, what do i do?

    I do not believe there's an app for that on PC. I do recommend getting the iCloud dashboard for PC and to try it there. I would myself if my PC was working.
    PC ***** get a Mac.
    You can always go to iCloud.com to find your phone.

  • Why isn't my iPhone showing up on my iCloud so I can use the Find My iPhone app?

    Hey, okay so I have misplaced my iPhone and it has the Find My iPhone app on it, and is registered, but is not showing up on my iCloud so I can try to activate it.  Is there anything I can do or any alternate process to locate it besides via iCloud?

    i don't want to be that guy on the fourms adding to a 2-year-old topic, but you might want to try updating iTunes. The current version is 11, and that might help with getting the computer to recognize it.
    Also, have you tried unlocking your phone before plugging it in? That would resolve most mount/unmount errors.

  • I lost my iPad a year ago and i just found the find my iPhone app can i use it?

    i lost my ipad a year ago i left it in my job's bathroom and some kids took it but i didnt realize that until the next day. I just saw the find my iphone app but i wasnt sure if i could use it even though i never downloaded it in my ipad ?

    If you didn't have MobileMe or iCloud on the iPad, no. I'm pretty sure it's a setting, so it would need to be turned on. Also, there's the chance that it's been Restored, turned off, sold for candy, etc.
