I lost my ipod can i track it

Can i track 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.
- 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/stolen iPod - Can you track serial number to current owner/thief?

    Recently I have either lost or had my iPod stolen while traveling across country. I had a brand new 30GB - Black iPod that disappeared from Point A to Point B. I took a red-eye, so either could have easily happened given the delays, weather conditions and tight connections experienced on this particular trip.
    Is there a way to search for the Serial Number via the internet for recent downloads from iTunes, etc...?
    I have replaced my 30GB with an 80GB and Nano, but would love to have it back to give to my wife or son.
    Any suggestions on how to recoop or track down?

    I used to work at an Apple Store and we were asked about this a lot. The other responses are correct, there is no way to track an ipod by Serial Number. The SN isn't recorded when you download items from the itunes store, that goes by your user account.
    Now, if the person who has your ipod sets up an itunes user account (and doesn't lie about their information - don't forget you can go to the store and buy an itunes giftcard and it won't require a credit card to make a purchase) and also registers the ipod under their name (and doesn't lie about their information) there MIGHT be a way for Apple to track it down. But, honestly, that involves a lot of work and the assumption that the new user hasn't faked any of their personal information. Do you think they're going to do that for you? Probably not.
    Sorry about your loss but all the SN is good for on an ipod is tracking warranty and repair information.

  • I lost my ipod can it still be tracked if i do not have find my ipod on it?

    i lost my ipod can it still be tracked if i do not have find my ipod on it?

    If you already had the FindMyiPhone feature set up, you left wifi on, the iPod had not yet been restored and some other conditions were met then yes.  Other wise no.

  • I cant find my ipod can you track it for me

    i cant find my ipod can you track it to find it and tell me

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).

  • Lost my ipod, can i use my account with my new ipod?

    I lost my ipod, can I use my old account with my new ipod?

    Yes.  There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account. Simple connect it and sync it as you wish.

  • If I lost my iPod, can I reload a new one from iTunes?

    I think I lost my iPod Nano. If I have, I plan to purchase a new one. Will I be able to download my contents that are stored in iTunes?

    Yes you can.

  • If i lose my ipod can apple track it

    i lost my ipod and wanted to know if there is a way that apple can find the location. i have on my wifi and i know it is hooked up to the internet and app store. if that will help with any thing.

    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 informtion, 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.

  • HT201269 If I lost my Ipod, can I still back up my information?

    I lost my Ipod, what should I do? I do not want to lose my information!!!

    If you have a backup (either iCloud or iTunes backup) restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from backup of your iPod.  See:
    iOS: How to back up
    For photos in the iPod Camera Roll album
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
      iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • I lost my ipod can i somehow track it

    i lost it and i have the serial number and everything but it is 4g but i  never signed it into icloud

    If you had already set up the FindMyiPod feature and wifi is on you may be able to locate it by going to icloud.com and signing in and going to FindMyiPhone. However, that can be defeated by turing the iPod off or restoring it.
    Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report it to the police.
    Apple will not help
    The SN will only allow you to idenitify the iPod as your if it is recovered.
