  • Ipod Touch Stolen - Called Apple... is what they told me true?

    Yesterday I unfortunately had my Ipod Touch stolen after it had fallen out of my purse. Whoever took it had the nerve to leave the case on the curb. Anyway, I filed a police report, and then today I called Apple. It was a woman with a really thick accent who kept talking over me and seemed to try to get me off of the phone as soon as possible. Anyway, she took down my serial number and created a case, and said she would have it flagged as stolen. She said if someone else were now to try to register that ipod, that it would not allow them to. Is that really true? The only reason I ask this is because the woman did not sound like she knew what she was talking about and was really rushing me off of the call. Thanks!

    Thanks for the help folks. That last link does indeed answer my question. I called Apple support again today and got someone from the US, and he told me what the original rep told me was untrue (call center in the Philippines). I hope one day Apple can come up with something better than "motion-based" theft detection to help deter thieves. Yes, it could just be as simple as making sure my iPod doesn't fall out of my purse, but I am disgusted with the idea that Apple can only benefit from me losing anything I buy from them. It's baffling that none of their eggheads can come up with a deterrent that doesn't break privacy laws. Oh well, guess this was just in time for the 3Gs to come out. 64GB, here I come...and this time I am going to put all sorts of protections on my iPod--not that any of them will prevent someone from taking it. Thanks again!

  • My home was burglarized, ipod touch stolen can it be blocked shut down....anything?

    is thier any way my ipod- touch can be shut down, blocked........ anything done so these SOB cant get into personal info?

    No.
    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • How do i create a new Apple ID, when it was being used by someone else?

    I am VERY i phone/ computer illederate. I am on my pc, with my sons old (we traded, he wanted my samsung 3) i phone. i cannot do anything, eg. new apps,etc because it comes up with his e mail and asks for password which he forgot. So i went to Verizon and they got me to the pg "create a new apple id" I did everything it asked..then when i got home, thinking i did everythin and I WOULD BE THE NEW "OWNER"...nope. It STILL had his e mail and asked for long ago forgotten password. But i want my username&password. He suggested i go to Apple support, so here i am, HELP!

    VERY helpful email response!
    Thank you for contacting AppleCert. I'm happy to help you activate your ACRS account.
    Some Apple ID types are ineligible for use with ACRS. For example, you can not use a personal, customer Apple ID or an @me.com, @mac.com, or @icloud.com email address.
    In this case, the Apple ID [email protected] is not eligible. However, this email address could be released from its current ID and used for ACRS instead.
    If you would like to update the Apple ID account for  [email protected] and free up the email address, please follow these steps:
    1. Visit https://appleid.apple.com
    2. Click Manage your account and sign in with the Apple ID you want to change.
    3. Click "Edit" beside the email address
    4. Enter a new email address
    5. Click "Save Changes"
    This will change both the Apple ID and email address to the new email address and free up the address you wish to use. Note, this change will affect all applications and services for which you currently use this ID.
    For additional assistance please visit http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    If you do not wish to modify this Apple ID, please reply with an alternate email address. (Do not attempt to register a new Apple ID.) We will verify the alternate address's eligibility and provide the steps to register it as an appropriate Apple ID.
    We look forward to your reply with either an alternate email address or information that your Apple ID has been modified.

  • I registered my daughters iPod touch with my apple email address n she wants to have FaceTime under her email address can we do this or do I have to clear n restart with giving her own apple sign in?

    I registered my daughters new iPod touch under my apple I'd and sign on and she wants to do face-time using her email can she set up her own apple account for FaceTime on this iPod or do I need to clear everything out and start over?

    Don't worry, your daughter can use her own email, you just need to set it up that way in Settings->FaceTime
    You can be reached for video calls at:
    Email: yours
    Add another email...
    Tap add another email, add your daughters, and then delete your email by tapping on the one that was there already and selecting remove.
    Then under calls:
    Caller ID -> Make sure your daughters email is selected
    Hope this helped, and was clear.

  • TS4006 Can someone wipe and use my iphone that was stolen and if so can apple tell me if phone is being used

    Can apple tell me if someone else is using my iphone if so can they give me the phone number as I have suspicions

    Yes - your phone could be wiped
    No - if you enabled find my iphone lock and running at least IOS 7 your phone can not be used but can be sold for parts. Prices on ebay for activation locked phones you can search yourself.
    No Apple can't tell anything, it knows about your phone nothing, zilch, zero.

  • 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.
