IPod Lost/Stolen: Help Needed!!

Hey everybody
my iPod Touch was lost or stolen yesterday and i need to know if i buy a new one can i transfer everything I've purchased from the app store on to it. If so can anyone tell me how... I can't seem to find any help any where.

Yes.

You should be able to connect the new iPod to your system just like you did the first one and things should transfer as they did before.
lastly what security measures should i take? So far I've changed my email password to stop whoever has it from accessing my emails, what else should i do?
Change your iTunes Store password just as a precaution, particularly if you purchased anything directly from the iPod. If you accessed any of your accounts in any financial institution (bank, credit card company, etc.) from your iPod, I'd suggest changing those passwords as well. It's unlikely the passwords could be recovered from the iPod, but better safe than sorry.
Regards.

  • Can you report your iPod lost/stolen to Apple?

    No. Apple does not look for lost or stolen devices. Call your local police.

  • IPod Touch Stolen, HELP!

    So I recently got my iPod Touch stolen at school today and I was wondering if Apple could help me get it back or replace it with a new one.
    Can they do that?

    My Touch was swiped from my messenger bag at The Grove in L.A this past weekend.... when I was going to the Apple Store(!) I understand that Apple doesn't want to take on the responsibility of tracking stolen property, but I think they could easily add a link to iTunes or the apple.com site to let original owners report iPods as stolen so as to lock the criminals out of being able to use them. If that was a policy, it wouldn't be worth the risk to steal them since no one would want to buy one. The only reason I can think of that Apple might not do this is that then they wouldn't get to sell replacement iPods to the people who were ripped off. I'd like to hope I don't need to be that cynical, though.

  • Ipod touch itunes help needed.

    I purchased an album of ITunes the other day on my ipod touch and downloaded it. After a couple of hours of listening to it I got a notification for the latest update. After install my latest purchase disappeared from my music. I tried going to the iTunes app and redownloading it but when I clicked on the cload symbol it just said already downloaded. No problem I thought so I loaded iTunes on my Mac and tried to transfer it that way. I get the copying to my ipod come up for the correct amount of songs but it still doesn't show at all on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Ipod lost/stolen and I dont have "find my iphone app"

    I lost my ipod touch or it got stolen. However i do not have "find my iphone app" installed. Can i still find and locate it?

    Only if you had the FindMyiPod service configured before you lost the device, and it's connected to a working Wi-Fi network, and has not been restored to factory defaults by whoever stole it.  If you didn't do that, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
    You should report the theft to your local authorities and change any and all passwords to accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device immediately.  Apple will not do anything to help.

  • Lost iPhone - help needed!!

    I have lost my iphone and did not have the "find my iphone" app on my phone.  Can I still go to icloud and use this app from there to find the phone or does the app have to be installed?

    The Find My app is what you use on another device to find the lost one.  What you need to have done with the first one is enable it in user settings.  If you didn't do that then it is too late to do that now.
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2526 - "... Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product..."
    If you lost it in your immediate vicinity try Skype, Facetime, Text+ or other program with a notification sound and listen for it ringing.

  • Ipod mini troubles: Help Needed

    I really need help with ipod mini troubleshooting..
    I've had my Ipod mini for about 3 years now and lately have been running into a few problems.
    In the past few months:
    -My Ipod's "battery meter" has been acting really strange, one second it may be reading as 3/4 full, and the next it shuts down saying that my battery has depleted, then a few minutes later it will be reading full again. And just to let you know, I always charge it overnight to avoid having a dead battery, and I always make sure to properly shut it off using "hold".
    Resetting my ipod works sometimes, but other times doesn't..
    Yesterday:
    My Ipod is no longer responding at all, and I'm pretty sure I know why: Some careless person spilled some water near and on my ipod, I dried it off as soon as I could. It was working properly shortly afterwards, but a few hours later, it shut off saying that the battery was dead again, and a picture of a "cartoon ipod" with dead eyes("XX") appeared on my screen, and it said under the picture to go to "www.apple/support/ipod". This was when it wasn't connected to a power source. When I connected my ipod to my computer via USB, my itunes does not recognize that it is connected ("Do not disconnect" does not appear on my ipod) and a picture of a "dead battery" has appeared on my screen, it is not in the "recharging mode" either (with the picture of the battery moving).
    I tried re-setting it numourous times, and always end up with either the "dead battery" picture, or the "dead cartoon ipod" picture on it.
    Help would be greatly appreciated, as I use my ipod everyday for school and leisure.
    Thanks.

    I've tried that several times without luck.

  • MAJOR iPod/iTunes/Computer Help Needed

    Ok heres the problem. I get a virus on my comp awhile back, so i have to System Recovery on my comp. Iv had viruses and done this system recovery to my comp many times. And every time i get it working after the system recovery my iTunes wont work, also meaning the iPod cant get hooked up and upload music, it gives me the whole "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience" crap.
    Iv had this problem many times before, and it usually takes me awhile of just doing random **** for it to work, but lately iv had diff. **** going on so i couldnt work on it, but i tried earlier today to fix it.
    I always remembered downloading a new iTunes from Apple.com, and after doing some **** installing that and it working, just having to update/install the iPod.
    Thing is i cant remember all i did to get the new iTunes to install. Right now i have tried deleting all the "corrupt" iTunes files & stuff, and installing the new iTunes, but no luck, still not working.
    If anybody can help it would be great, if u need to ask me a question about it, hit me on a PM.
    thanks alot for any help.

    For your itunes folder 'You' are the owner.
    It should read: 'Owner: YourLoginname'. If it's not, click on the little padlock symbol and change it to the name you use to log in.
    You normaly don't have to change ownership at 'Group' (which at my computer says 'staff') and 'Others', but you can change it to 'Read & Write'.
    Below 'Others' (just above the 'Comments:' pane) there should be a button 'Apply to enclosed items...'

  • IPOD SHUFFLE 1GB HELP NEED A 800 NUMBER TO APPLE FOR HELP

    I just got the new IPOD shuffle 1GB. I have not been able to use it at all! The green light is always on and I cant get it to do a thing. I wish Apple had a 800 number so I could trouble shoot with a real person! If you know of one please let me know.

    I found only the sales number so I called that. They directed me to another Web site that did not help. Are there any human beings who can offer real technical support or are we at such a point where we've lost all human interaction and the value it brings to solving problems?
    If anyone else sees this and can find a phone number for technical help, even one with 35 menu options...I'll take it!

  • Ipod Lost/stolen question Find Iphone App

    My son has had his ipod stolen and I have a question I can not find an answer to in the discussion pages. On his Ipod I have the wifi turned on and ask to join networks turned off. The find my Iphone app does work on his Ipod, but my question is this will the Ipod connect to an open network that it has never seen before with out being told to connect to the network? My son has a passcode on the screen so it is locked. I have also placed it into lost mode from the find my Iphone App. So now I am kinda just waiting for it to go online so the app will locate it. Am I just wasting my time waiting or will the Ipod auto connect to a network by itself?
    Eric

    Correct
    - 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

  • IPOD battery .. help  needed

    i bought one 30gb ipod a month back .. ( may 26)
    my IPOD battery gets charged within 2 hours !! ( the battery symbol show a "Charged" sign ) ...
    also i think i am not getting the right battery life out of my ipod ( i am expecting atleast 10 hrs play .. is that ok???) ... basically my ipod drains off after around 5 - 6 hours of play ....
    any suggestion on this .. is welcome

    Apple used the best battery technology that was
    available and for the price. I have yet to just sit
    and listen to my IPOD for 13 hours straight, 6 hours
    maybe but not what the battery is rated at in terms
    of hours. How the songs are encoded also affect how
    long the battery lasts. No two batteries are going to
    give exactly the same results.
    A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500
    discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a
    partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full
    discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead,
    charge the battery more often. There is no concern of
    memory when applying unscheduled charges.
    Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of
    performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges
    exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory".
    Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent
    recharges do not provide the periodic calibration
    needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the
    battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full
    discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this
    problem. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off
    point in the IPOD will do this. If ignored, the fuel
    gauge will become increasingly less accurate.
    Simple Guidelines:
    Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts
    additional strain on the battery. Several partial
    discharges with frequent recharges are better for
    lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially
    charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there
    is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs
    from nickel-based batteries.)

  • Nothing but a dead/sick iPod... help needed!

    My beloved color iPod just froze up today when I tried to select a song and then went black. It then displayed the "boot up screen" of the iPod, and then displayed the "sick iPod" icon, with the frowning, dead/sick-looking iPod. So I went to the support for iPods and tried everything: charging it, plugging it into my computer, rebooting it and trying to get it to disk mode - everything. Still nothing. My computer doesn't read the iPod and the iPod doesn't get a charge if I plug it into the wall or the computer. It just sits there with a blank screen. When I do reboot it, all I get is that dang dead/sick iPod icon. Any suggestions (other than going in and getting a new iPod)?

    Hi Paul
    Don't go for a new iPod (yet). Is sounds like the IPod software on the HD is corrupted.
    I had similar problems with my iPod a week ago (had to format the HD, writing 0’s on all bits – it took all night with 20 GB HD, USB cable and an iBook G3).
    I recommend an iPod update or a format of the HD with writing 0’s (which requires an update afterwards to reinstall the iPod software to the HD). If you have all night then go for the format
    Both the iPod update and the disk utility is found at: Applications > utilities.
    Please write back if you need more help or suggestions.

  • Lost Serial, Help needed to work out what my one was!

    I upgraded from Logic 7 to Logic 8, and it all worked fine.
    I have recently installed the 8.02 update, but have since lost the serial. I still have the logic 7 dongle, but I cannot find the Logic 8 serial in my cupboard anywhere! Is there any way of getting the upgrade serial back?! At the moment, I can't use the logic that I legitimately paid for!!
    Thanks,
    Charlie.

  • Lost. Help Needed. Setting up Exchange Account on iPhone

    Hello all
    Long story short - I'm trying to set up my fathers exchange account on his brand new iPhone.
    I have his username, password and what I believe to be the server - mbx2.exchprod.usa.net
    After 'verifying Exchange account information' on the first account creation screen, I proceed to 'Enter your Exchange account information'
    Entering, mbx2.exchprod.usa.net into the serve field and clicking next gives me the 'Exchange accoutn verification failed.
    Any help would be greeeatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Does the company that hosts the Exchange account allow users to connect with their iPhones. It isn't as simple as knowing the settings, they have to allow it and the Exchange admin have to setup certain things on the mail servers.
    If they don't have ActiveSync (what is needed by them), do they offer IMAP or POP access instead?
