If someone stole my iPod, how easy it is for this person to steal my information?

I just lost my iPod touch.
It could be lost or stolen by someone on purpose.
I would like to know how easy it is for others to hack into my iPod touch to read information in it?
I would like to report the loss/stolen to a police.
Should I erase the content through iCloud first or after the reporting?
Well, it is also related to how easy for this person to hack into my iPod.........

Erase the iPod now if you can. Does it show up in FIndMyiPhone in iCloud?
Yes report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
I have been told that with a a four digit passcode one, with the proper computer program gain access in a little less than an hour. Having the iPod set up to erase the iPod after 10 failed attempts does not function if you try accessing the iPod via the dock connector. With a long, complex passcode it is very secure.

    Just keep looking and call the police.
    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 a bank or any other 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 information, 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.

  • Someone stole my iPod, how can I tell if they connected it to itunes and restored it?

    I need to know how to track whether they've restored it to make it their own or not..

    No. All you have to do is place the iPod in recovery mode (erases the iPod) and restore via iTunes.
    - 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.

  • Someone stole my iPod and put a password on it, not I got it back and cant get into it

    I bought an iPod from a friend of mine. I did not put a password on it because I didn't think I needed one and I had only had the iPod for about a week. Then someone stole the iPod. It was gone for about 2 months and then someone returned it to me and said they had "found" it at there house. But now it has a password on it and I don't know what it is so I cant even unlock my own iPod. I didn't have it for long before it was stolen so it wasn't even synced to my iTunes yet. Is there anything I can do to get into my iPod so I can use it again?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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 problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If it was a 5G iPod with iOS 7 then you will also have to ent4r the Apple ID and password last used in Settings>iCloud.

  • Someone stole my iPod Touch 4th! How do I find it?

    Hi I really need answers, Someone stole my iPod Touch 4th at a store. I tried using Find my iPhone and I've refreshed it over and over again and it says it's offline. Does my warranty cover this? Also if I report it to the police how will I find it if it is not connected to the Internet? Or does my iPod have a certain number that either if the person deleted all of my data I can still find it? Please answer, I only had that iPod, I can't buy another one!

    - If the person restores the iPod, you will no longer be able to locate the iPod or do anything with it. The Find feature is esssentually worthless for a stolen iPod since the persons can turn it off and restore it.
    - Apple will not help find the iPod or do anything else.
    - Report it to the police and change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Someone stole my ipod today in class and i want to know if you guys can track it or how can i do it

    Someone stole my ipod today in class and i want to know if you guys can track it or how can i do it

    Emmanuel:
    You most likely can not locate it because either the battery power ran out or whoever stole it turned it off.
    Do not post the serial number here in the forums. We are just other Mac users here in the community and not Apple employees.
    You will have to report the iPod to your local law authorities:

    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:

  • Someone stole my ipod.  How do I retrieve the songs I bought?

    Someone stole my ipod from my home.  But I had bought at least 30 songs on my ipod.  I usually sync it about once a month to back up my music but they stole it before I had the chance.  How can I retrieve the songs that bought on it so that I wouldn't have to pay twice?  Can anyone help with that?
