If an ipod touch is lost or stolen, is it possible to track it?

Is it possible to track a lost or stolen ipod touch and if so how is tracking done?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod (Settings>iCloud) and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can also wipe the device, and have it play a sound .If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- Apple will do nothing

  • If my iPod touch was lost or stolen, can someone else wipe it without the passcode?

    I haven't been able to find my iPod touch since my nephews were here about 5 weeks ago.  Odds are, it's just lost here in the house with a dead battery.  I've tried to use the find my iPhone app and it hasn't found it yet.   It's always offline.  On the off chance that it landed in sticky hands, can they wipe it clean without the passcode?  Can  I still track it with the serial number?  Just curious....

    Yes, anyone can wipe it clean. A serial number is not used to track it. You must have used Find My Phone to track it.
    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:

  • I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

    Restopre from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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

    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    If your iPod was purchased with a credit card, check with the card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.

  • Need to trace or block IPOD touch as it is stolen.No icloudede

    Need to trace or block IPOD touch as it is stolen.No icloude..Please guide and help.

    You do not need iOS 5. Prior to iOS 5/iCloud you could set up the FIndMyiPod feature through Settings>Mail>MobileMe. If that was done then if wifi is on and connected you can go to go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Otherwise, ther is nothing special you can do.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help. It can't be blocked. Someone just has to restore the iPod and use it

  • How do I lock my ipod touch if it was stolen

    Hi, How do I lock my ipod touch if it was stolen?

    You can only remotely lock it IF you had an iCloud account installed and IF you had enabled the "find my iPod" setting for that iCloud account.  If that was done before it was stolen, you might be able to log in to your iCloud account in a web browser and lock it.  If it is not connected to a wifi data network though, you cannot do anything to it remotely anyway.
    Of course, if it was unlocked to begin with, the thief has had full access this whole time, so locking it now might be largely pointless.  The thief may also have gone in and simply disabled the "find my iPod" setting, making it untrackable anyway.
    Really, the time to apply a passcode lock is BEFORE the device is stolen or lost - after the fact is largely a waste of time.  Much the same as locking your house doors after you've been robbed.

  • TS4006 how do i find my ipod touch that has been stolen

    how do i find my ipod touch that has been stolen and it is not hooked up to wifi so i can locate it on the map so i can take a cop and get it back

    No app is required.                                               
    - 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.
    - 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. The plocie will dolittle except if they recover it they can return it to you.
    - 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.

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

    Nothing... why would they do anything?
    Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

  • Ipod touch just lost all wi-fi capabilities. full new ipod restore did nothing to change it, can't retype passcodes etc because it does not even find any wireless network to join. thoughts?

    ipod touch just lost all wi-fi capabilities. full restore as new ipod did nothing to change it. I cannot enter pass codes etc because there are no wi-fi networks found to join, despite other apple devices finding my wireless just fine, all sitting at same desk (and the airplane mode is off). thoughts?

    Is this your problem?
