    Here are the Find my iPod instructions.   iCloud - Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
    Apple do not have any form of service to find lost products.   But if it is lost, you can make a claim to your household insurance company or if it is stolen, report it to the police and send the report details to your insurance company.

  • Can the police track your ipod using the serial number?

    can the police track your ipod using the serial number?

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

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to Restore your device...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

    If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

  • Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
    Thanks

    Unfortunately there is not.

  • How to track my ipod without the serial number, how to track my ipod without the serial number

    i just got my ipod stolen how do i track it without the serial number please help my parents will kill me

    The serial number does not help you track it. You can't track it without Find my iPod. If you did have Find my iPod, I have no doubt the thief disabled it by now. So it's gone.

  • Is there a way to find a stolen ipod with the serial number?

    a few days ago my ipod touch 4th gen was stolen and i was wondering if there was a way to track it using the serial number?

    "yeah but there is still a way that you may track a phone"
    Yes.  GPS and Cell tower triangulation.  They also appeared in front of congress to answer for doing this.  And they will NOT track a lost iphone either.
    " i dont see why they cannot use the same thing to find an ipod "
    They will not track a lost iphone either, for the same reason.
    "hey could use the wifi to track the serial number"
    No they cannot for the reason provided.  Privacy law violations among other things.
    You could have used the find my ipod app to do this.  Apple cannot, just as no other manufacturer of devices will do it.
    Sorry.

  • Can you call apple to track a missing ipod with the serial number?

    i lost my ipod or soeone must have stolen it..i did not have any tracking devices or gps apps on it...can apple track it through the serial number?

    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.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
