I found a lost ipod touch

i found a lost ipod touch 4g im wondering if you can turn it into itunes will they give u a new one

As with every thing, you have two choices:
1. Do the right thing
2. Do the wrong thing.
Doing the right thing: Contact Apple, give them the serial number and have them contact the registered owner. Also, contact you local police department and give them the serial number. If no one claims the device with in a certain time, its yours.
Do the wrong thing: Keep the device and don't tell anyone. Connect it to your computer, install iTunes, wipe the device clean, and then use it like you stole it.
When the cops come knocking on your door you have two choices:
1. Run
2. Surrender.
If you run the cops have 2 choices:
1. Run you down
2. Shoot to kill.
And so it goes...
And to answer your question, NO. Apple will not give you a new iPod. You have to buy it just like the poor soul who lost the one you have....

FOUND A LOST IPOD TOUCH

Recently my brother handed me an Ipod Touch hoping I can unlock it. Turns out it belongs to someone named Jordan. He said he had found it in a retreat under a mattress in his bed. The ipod is badly cracked and for the purpose of the security of the ipod if you believe it to be yours I will need further proof. You will need to tell me what kind of cover it had, the picture in the front, and what generation it is. blahblahblah.
And the best would be the serial number which you can find on your itunes account.
I hope you will be able to find this one day and get back your ipod! I know how it feels to lose one of these and believe me I would love it if someone came up and made an itunes discussion like this one about giving it back to me.

My daughter had hers taken or she lost it over the weekend. It has a light colored greenish/blueish case on it. Im giving a reward for her found ipod. Can you give me the serial number on it if thats the case? Weve been looking everywhere for it! The picture on the front is of her or her boyfriend! Please respond! My number is 615-578-0483!

How can I locate the owner of a lost Ipod Touch 4g?

A friend found a lost Ipod Touch 4th generation and gave it to me because he's given up trying to locate the owner. Now I am trying to find its owner (last ditch effort).
I've never seen this message before, but when I got it, there is a screen saying disabled, connect to iPod. I assume that either it was remotely locked? Or perhaps my friend tried to guess passwords unsuccessfully too many times?
I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco and the sales rep that was helping me didn't know how to do it.
I ran three ads in craigslist in different sections - no response.
My bf used to work for Apple, and is absolutely uninterested or too busy to help me out (nice guy, eh?).
I don't want to restore the phone and wipe the data, since it may destroy any possible clue as to how to locate the owner beyond the first name and photo that appears when you turn it on. (I tried to see if I could get it connected to iTunes and figure something out, but the phone is disabled)
Anybody know what I can do? Serial numbers?
note: In case you are wondering why I am so adamant on finding the owner, I have lost 2 ipods in the past (found one), but the other is gone forever (despite all my "please return to (my contact info)" message I had in place of the passcode screen. I will go pretty far to return this to the owner, because beyond principle, I was sad when mine was never returned to me.

I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco
Take it to the nearest SFPD station.
And bravo to you for making such an effort to find the owner. They may have reported it lost or stolen to the SFPD.

How do I find my lost ipod touch

I had my ipod before I got on the bus this morning, it was in my pocket. I sat down on the bus, and I didn't take it out of my pocket, there was someone sitting next to me, but she couldn't have taken it out of my pocket because of the way she was sitting. It's not in my backpack, and my bus driver said she looked everywhere on the bus while cleaning it-like she always does. It could have fallen out anywhere on the bus and someone could have taken it. I'm really worried because I had just gotten it and I'm using icloud to track it, but it says its offline. I don't know how it would even connect to wifi because I have a pass code on it. please help.

Until it goes online you cannot track it.

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.

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:

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.
Identifying iPod models
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Only if
- 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.

Sort of if you can get hold of the iPod before it is erased, turn wifi off, then backup the iPod, turn wifi on and let it erase. Then restore from backup.

Is it possible to locate a lost ipod touch from my Macbook?

Not unless you installed and activated fiond my iod on the ipod BEFORE it was lost AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi, THEN you may be able to get an approximate street address.
If it has facetime, then you could call it and listen for the ring.

I found someone's ipod touch at a walmart in my area, and would like to know how to find this person? There is a passcode lock on it.

I found someone's ipod touch at a walmart in my area, and would like to know if there is any way to locate this person? The ipod is locked.

The only other thing you can do is to take the iPod to a place with unsecured wi-fi (like a starbucks) or temporarily turn off the security on your own wi-fi router (be sure that all your wi-fi devices are turned off when do this). On the off chance that the owner has activiated the iCloud Find My iPod service s/he could send you a message on how to contact him. Most people forget to set this up, so a contact is unlikely; but it is possible.
