Lost my ipod touch but it has find my iphone installed on it

just wondering how do i get back my lost ipod touch through the find my iphone app? i couldnt find it on my lidt when i signed in to the app?

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 your bank or any 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.

  • I lost my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Find my iPhone application was not installed. Is there any way if I can find it or else I can lock the device so nobody uses it?

    - 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.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - 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.

  • I've lost my iPod Touch but i didn't achive the mobile.me. How can I find the location?

    I've lost my iPod Touch but i didn't achive the mobile.me. How can I find the location? It's a 4th generation iPod but I didn't sync the mobile.me in my iPod. I've lost it in a cab in Brazil, in the city of Curitiba, if some brazillian can help me..I would really appreciate!
    I don't now how to do..I have all my trip photos and also some stuff from work.
    I would be really really happy to know the location or to know something that I cand do to get it back! Thanks.

    By looking for it.  If you have activated FaceTime or some other app that will make a sound when you activate the app (Call with FaceTime or Skype) that will help.  Otherwise ther is nothing special you can do.  Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report it to the police in case someone turns it in.

    I lost my iPod touch in a club last Saturday. Was on, had a passcode on it but I didn't have Find My iPhone installed. I'm not sure if this is correct information, but an Apple store clerk said that I would still be able to track it if I had registered it with iCloud, which I have done
    What you needed to have already done was to have went to Settings>iCloud and turned FindMyiPod on.
    . The problem is, though, even if this information is true, how will I be able to find it? It's an iPod touch with no GSM/CDMA capabilities. Therefore, it cannot be found unless it was connected to Wi-Fi.
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. Thus, wifi has to be on.
    But how would that be possible unless the person who found it knows my passcode?
    Wifi just has to be on and connected to report its postition to you by going to icloud.com as explained in a previous reply.
    I'm guessing that if the person wipes and restores the device, I will have no way of finding it... unless it works off the serial number?
    If the iPod is restored, you can no longer find it via icloud.com. I uses turning FIndMyiPod on, not the SN,.
    Thanks.

  • I lost my ipod touch but i did recently download the cloud . How can i track it?

    I lost my ipod touch but I did recently download the cloud to help me find it.  How can I track it if I have nothing?

    For whatever reason the device box only shows the IPAD.  I have my other IPOD hear but the system doesn't try to locate it.  Could this mean I don't have the CLOUD on my IPODS like I thought?  My IPOD is turned on but it's not in that box.  I know I updated all 3 in February because I can see it when I go edit, preferences and device.  Sorry to be a bother I just don't understand.

  • I have lost my ipod touch but i have locked it is there a way to access the data inside?

    I lost my ipod touch, but i have locked it, is there a way that others one can access my data.?

    No, they cannot. The only way for them to bypass the passcode is to restore it as new in iTunes, and that would erase all of your data.

    I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to my Ipod touch but can't find it on the device to watch it - where do I find it?

    Hi,
    Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie?  (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.) 
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on?

    How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on? I can see my macbook but I cant see the last location of my ipod touch. I lost it a few weeks ago and figured it would show up. But it has not and I need it again for my job. Please help.

    There is nothing you can do now. There are apps available from the app store that would give you that information if installed before it was lost/stolen.

    I have updated my ipod touch but i have to update iphone and ipad 1 and ipad2 . How can I save the udated software in order to avoid teh time for downloading it again each time

    Even though the downloads are for the same iOS version number, they are different downloads and you can't use an iPod iOS update to update an iPhone or iPad etc. The iPad 1 and iPad 2 are also different downloads. So you will need to download different updates for your iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad 1 and the iPad 2.
