sorry, no.
quoting from a recent post by roaminggnome:
+the only way would be if:+
+you had mobileme setup on the ipod before you lost it and+
+had find my iphone/ipod activated on the ipod itself before you lost it and+
+the ipod is currently on and connected to wi-fi and+
+the wi-fi network is correctly registered.+
also, can an ipod touch be deactivated when lost?
again, sorry but no.

Question about lost iPod - Please help me out!!

My iPod was stolen and is there anyway to relocate it if it connect to someone's computer? Could Apple track it down? And I am not sure whether I have registered my iPod online. Is there anyway to check??

Apple have no process in place to either report or track stolen iPods. All you can do is report the theft to the Police together with it's serial number, and if your iPod was registered with Apple when you first got it, they will assist the Police in returning it to you should it ever be recovered.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

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.

Do I have to report my lost ipod touch 4G. Its serial number is already registered with apple. Any help to find it will be apprecitated

Do I have to report my lost ipod touch 4G?. Its serial number is already registered with apple. Any help to find it will be apprecitated.

You can't track it with the serial number. If you had an iPod Touch running iOS 5 later AND set up Find my IPod on it, then there is a chance you might be able to locate it by going to www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID and clicking Find my IPod. Of course, the iPod still needs to be on and connected to a Wi-Fi network in order for it to be located.
If nothing else, report it to the police and change any and all passwords to any accounts you set up or used on the iPod.
Apple otherwise cannot help you.

Help! Lost ipod!

My child has lost her ipod. Is there any way to find it using my Mac to show me where it is using GPS or to activate the lost ipod to emit a sound?

- If yu had alrady set up the FinfMyiPod feature on the iPod and wifi is on and some other conditions are met you can locate it by going to me.com or icloud.com and logging in and going t the FindMyiPhone page. Yu can also sent the iPod a message, make a sound, lock it and wipe it.
- If you donot have that feature set up, if wifi is n and some othr coditions are met yu may be able to male the iPod make a sound by calling it with Skype, FaceTime and maybe some other app and use the Notificatins soound for that app.
- Otherwise, you just have to look for it like any object. Apple will not help. Also see:

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.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

Any ideas on how to track a stolen or lost ipod

any body have any ideas how to find a stolen or lost ipod it's been gone for a couple of weeks and I am heart broken
any ideas would help thanks

There is really nothing special you can do not. The battery would be dead by no so you could not find it via iCloud.
Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police.
Apple will not do anything.

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.

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.
