If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

It can still connect to Wifi in Lost Mode. As long as you do not erase it, you will be able to track it via Find My iPhone. And even if you erase it, the Activation Lock will prevent the thief from ever being able to use it:
ACTIVATION LOCK
Hope you get it back!

My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone,it blocks Cloud memory?

How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

My iPod Classic was stolen and returned to me by police but now it "cannot be synced because it cannot be written to or read from". I noticed the thief had changed the format to "windows" but I have restored it and still get the same message.

If the media is in the library then yes it is that simple. Connect the device, load it up with your media. The problem is when you try to connect a full device to a new empty library on a new computer when iTunes will offer to replace the content on the device with that in the local library, i.e. nothing! (For anyone in that position see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device).
You should be able to add your devices at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ though I'm not sure what happens if the second hand iPod was previously registered.

Find My iPhone only keeps a history of locations after you put it in lost mode. It also has to be online to provide an updated location.

It could be that someone has accessed your AppleID/iCloud account with out authorization. Or it could be that you forgot to remove find my iPhone form a phone that your previously owned.
Change your Apple ID password.

My itouch was stolen and I had brought all my music on it. How do I get that back?

I had downloaded all my music from the istore on my itouch but it was stolen. I really want to get that music back. Why cant I access that music on another device with my apple id?

The music will only be where you put it. If you failed to transfer it to your computer, and back it up, then it is gone.
UNLESS, you are in the U.S. Then you can use the newly released beta version of icloud to retrieve them.
Open the itunes store and click Purchased under Quick Links.

My Itouch was stolen and I am wanting to know if there is any way of tracing it

My i touch was stolen and I am wanting to know if there is anyway of tracing it should someone try to use it...??

Only if you had ALREADY set up the FindMyiPhone feature, wifi is on and some other conditions are met. Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Also see:

My iPad was stolen and I want to know how I can deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new iPad

Hi there My i Pad was stolen and I would like to know how do I deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new i Pad Thanks Linda

If you enabled the "Find My iDevice" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, log into iCloud and deactivate it. If you did not, there is nothing that can be done.
As for the content, it should all be on your computer, simply connect the new iPad and sync what you would like to the device.

My iTouch was stolen and I can't seem to get the passcode off.

About six months ago my iPod Touch was stolen, but my teacher returned it to me when she found it in the classroom. The person that had stolen it syned it to their computer and now I can't get the passcode off is there anyway I can get it off and restore all of my stuff on it?

But he can't create a backup of the iPod unles he enters the passcode on the iPod after he connects the iPod to the computer. If you could enter the passcode then you could just change the passcode.
The followowing is from:
iTunes: About iOS backups
If an iOS device is protected with a passcode, iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode when you connect to your computer. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync.

When your phone connects to cellular data or wifi then the prompts will work.
If you have a passcode on your phone you should be safe.
Also since you're on IOS 7 - the thiefs or anybody else won't be able to use it. iCloud: Activation Lock

I lost my iPod and i put it on lost mode. how can i put wifi on it so the person can read the alert

yesterday i left my ipod at ralphs. today i put it on lost moe. how can i make sure my iPod gets wifi so the person that has it reads the alert

You can't. It's all up to the person holding the device to have wifi on.

U should call ATT&T and tell them that ur iPhone was stolen and u need to cancel or block your stolen iPhone account so they cannot use it and transfer the same number to a new iPhone ( or other phone)..

If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?
