I have found an iPod how do i give it back to its rightful owner?

How do i return an ipod i found overseas to its rightful owner?
I have checked its serial number....

It is actually difficult to trace who the real owner is. If he/she has photos in it, maybe it will help.

  • I have found an iPod shuffle. I know its serial number. How do I find its owner?

    I have found an iPod shuffle and so know the serial number. How do I find its owner?

    I found an Ipod Shuffle and I called Apple Support desk to return it to the rightfull owner. I offered them to send my contact details to the owner. And then the owner can contact me if he likes. They refused to do this as it is a privacy issue. They advised me to bring it to the local police who can send the request to a special e-mail address of Apple. But I know that normally the police won't bother. And Apple will like this probably, as the previous owner will buy a new Apple device.

  • Somebody stole my ipod touch 4G and i dont have the apps "found my ipod" how can i know where is my ipod? :(

    Somebody stole my ipod touch 4G and i dont have the apps "found my ipod" how can i know where is my ipod? :( please help!

    You do not need any app.
    - 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.
    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing

    I thnk i have found my ipod but its saying its disabled and i have the cerial number can i find out if its mine without connecting it to the web

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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

    I HAVE LOST MY IPOD HOW DO I TRACK but i have icloud

    If you enabled "Find My iPhone" on your iPod touch and if it has a internet connection at the moment, then you have a chance to track your device. Therefor log in to your iCloud account (www.icloud.com) on your Mac/PC and try to locate your iPog Touch.

    Apple can do nothing to help. You should turn it into the front desk or lost and found if possible or turn it over to the police.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then see if placing the iPod in airplane mode when in standby helps.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Transfer iTunes' purchases by:

    Tranfer other stuff by using the info in this previous discusssion.

    After you get the stuff in your iTunes library you may have to let iTunes erase the iPod and replace it s contents with what is now in your iTunes library.

  • I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner.  I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated.  Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?

    I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items.  I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin.  I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to.  I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else.  However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks

    If you have a unencrypted boot hard drive and willing to buy another external powered drive and $100 software, the files can be recovered using this method and Data Rescue.

    Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
    Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

  • All my bookmarks have suddenly disappeared. How do I get them back? I didn't do anything to erase them.

    All my bookmarks have suddenly disappeared. How do I get them back? I didn't do anything to erase them.

    I've tried importing and restoring from bookmarks.html. The closest I get is having the XBOX folder in the dropdown, then the list of saved XBOX b-marks with nothing in them to actually go to.
    I looked at the places.sqlite file the other day and it said 0kb, now it has @11,000. Must be from recent activity.
    Anyway someone can control my pc and try to resolve this? If not, I guess these bookmarks weren't that important so oh well.
    I'm just afraid to try to organize the rest....

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).
