Lost iPod 4, what do I do?

I recently lost my iPod 4, but because it was lost in a place with no wifi access, Find My iPhone will not work. Are there any other ways I can track it? Like if I were to report it to Apple?

- 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Lost iPod Video - What Should I Do?

Hello
I've just returned from New York (Apple Store was Amazing), anyway I fell asleep during the flight and with the bump of the landing my iPod Video fell to the floor. I was sandwiched between two people and I’m quick large so I couldn’t reach it. I immediately pressed the cabin crew call button, but they didn’t come until the plane had full landed.
Doors opened and everyone began moving around. I checked six rows in front and 4 behind (was in the tail section), but the iPod had vanished. (I’m 90% sure that the people behind me took it – but I can’t prove it).
I reported this to the cabin crew, the cleaning crew, the ground crew, three British Airways desks and filled in a lost property form.
What should I do now? Will contacting Apple help? If so how do I do that?
I’m completely at a loss without it, just hope my home insurance can cover it (only got medical holiday insurance).
Thanks for any advice.

No, please do not call Apple regarding this.
The warranty does NOT cover lost iPods. It is not Apple's responsibility to replace lost iPods.
Apple will inform you to file a police report with your local authorities, as there is nothing they can do for you.
Here is Apple's official policy:

HELP LOST IPOD TOUCH WHAT DO I DO???? :'(

:'( lost Ipod touch at school and now how do I track it down? DO I call The Company? I am using Icloud and still no results PLEASE someone help what can I do????

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.

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

LOST ipod. It has a password on it but the pictures is what I am worried about as people can easily connect it to their comp and view them.. Is it possible for me to get it blocked by Apple? I have searched it on find my ipod but it is offline.

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW I CAN GET IT BLOCKED!! PLEASE

Unless you have enable Find My Phone there is nothing you can do to block it. All you can do is configure Find My Phone to go into Lost mode or to Erase the device. Neither of these will happen until it is connected to the Internet.

If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:

HT1320 apps where blocked on my ipod n i cant reset it because whoever blocked it lost the coe what do i do

apps were blocked on my ipod and i cant reset it because whoever locke it lost the code what do i do to fix that?

There is no easy solution in your case. The following is the standard procedure. Perhaps you can temporarily use a different computer until you get the other one repaired.
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

What can i do with my icloud from PC to help find lost ipod?

I lost my ipod, so what from icloud from my computer can i do to help me find it.

Did you install Find My iPhone on it?
If not, there is nothing that can be done.
If you did then maybe you can if the iPhone has not been reset.

TS4006 What can you do if you sent a message, alert and lock mode already on your lost ipod but it doesn't recieve????

What can you do if you sent a message, alert and lock mode already on your lost ipod but it doesn't recieve???? What else can I do??? I already reported it and also have the find my iPhone app. Anyways how do the police locate an iPod and does warranty cover a lost ipod or can it replace it????

You would have to ask the Police how they can find your iPod, if it's even possible. Your warranty with Apple covers defects in materials and workmanship, not loss.

Bought 60GB ipod for kids...how to download dvd..I am lost...what 2 do?

Hello, I just bought a 60gb ipod, I am totally lost as to what I need to do to download dvd movies onto the ipod.
I have worked out I need to convert it, but I am unsure of which is the best software to use...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

First of all, welcome to the forum. Second, your post is in the wrong place. This particular section is for the software known as Compressor. All that aside, take a look at this website.

Is there an app to recover lost ipods?

Hello everyone. A lost ipod is not that significant a problem in the context of this world, but has anyone developed a way to locate a lost ipod?
This is the second lost on or around BART in SF. I've contacted them in the past and will again in the future. But it is the person who will pick up that wonderful instrument I listened to in love, difficulty, and fun really know how important that small item is in my life?
Personal playlists, personal videos, yes, a record of my life, that was my ipod.
A reward for my iphone brought it back, but an ipod?
Let me know what has worked for you.

Find My iPhone App
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Compatible for iPod Touch 3G or better, iPhone 3s or better, iPad 3 or better working on iOS 5 or better. This app is optimized for iPhone 5. Plus you need iCloud.... (not sure how to set it up)..... unless you have iCloud set up to your devices running iOS 5 or better, there is no chance to find, track, or locate your iDevices (will NOT work on Nano, Classic, Shuffle, Mini, iPod Touch 1st Gen or iPod Touch 2nd Gen)..... change any passwords used on that iDevices and report to the police. Apple won't do anything.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526 (Report Lost/Stolen Apple Product)..... when reporting to the police, this will find the serial numbers on your devices that was stolen.
If the devices was RESTORED there is nothing you can do.
As for tracking the device you have to use the Find My iPhone app on a different iOS (if your devices doesn't have the app no problem, you just need icloud)..... it will attempt to find the device or either lost or got stolen. For iPod Touch it needs to be connected with Wi-Fi in order to work.
Plus with iCloud, you should be able to delete any data on that devices (even if stolen)..... again if they restore the device..... ALL DATA is deleted and you can't find it. It will be removed from iCloud.

How do I find my lost ipod touch

I had my ipod before I got on the bus this morning, it was in my pocket. I sat down on the bus, and I didn't take it out of my pocket, there was someone sitting next to me, but she couldn't have taken it out of my pocket because of the way she was sitting. It's not in my backpack, and my bus driver said she looked everywhere on the bus while cleaning it-like she always does. It could have fallen out anywhere on the bus and someone could have taken it. I'm really worried because I had just gotten it and I'm using icloud to track it, but it says its offline. I don't know how it would even connect to wifi because I have a pass code on it. please help.

Until it goes online you cannot track it.

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

How can I locate the owner of a lost Ipod Touch 4g?

A friend found a lost Ipod Touch 4th generation and gave it to me because he's given up trying to locate the owner. Now I am trying to find its owner (last ditch effort).
I've never seen this message before, but when I got it, there is a screen saying disabled, connect to iPod. I assume that either it was remotely locked? Or perhaps my friend tried to guess passwords unsuccessfully too many times?
I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco and the sales rep that was helping me didn't know how to do it.
I ran three ads in craigslist in different sections - no response.
My bf used to work for Apple, and is absolutely uninterested or too busy to help me out (nice guy, eh?).
I don't want to restore the phone and wipe the data, since it may destroy any possible clue as to how to locate the owner beyond the first name and photo that appears when you turn it on. (I tried to see if I could get it connected to iTunes and figure something out, but the phone is disabled)
Anybody know what I can do? Serial numbers?
note: In case you are wondering why I am so adamant on finding the owner, I have lost 2 ipods in the past (found one), but the other is gone forever (despite all my "please return to (my contact info)" message I had in place of the passcode screen. I will go pretty far to return this to the owner, because beyond principle, I was sad when mine was never returned to me.

I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco
Take it to the nearest SFPD station.
And bravo to you for making such an effort to find the owner. They may have reported it lost or stolen to the SFPD.
