My 10 year old daughter's iPod Touch stolen!

My 10 year old daughter received and iPod Touch for her b-day and it was stolen by someone at her friends house. Other than "Track My Device" (tried several times and is Offline) is there anyway to trace it?

If the person who stole the ipod not restored it and connect to WiFi, you can see in iCloud where it is. ¿The iPod have the "location service" on?.
best,

Daughter's iPod Touch Stolen

Hi,
My daughter's iPod Touch was stolen at her school today. She has the iPod locked with a passcode. Is that going to render the iPod useless to whomever stole it, or can they just restore or erase it somehow?
Thanks,
Ray

That's not quite true.
The iPod would have to be restored from the computer it's already synced to, what you'd have to do if you forgot your pass code, not the computer of whoever stole it.
It's a good bet that the iPod will be useless to whoever stole it.
The restore will work, and the device will be usable. But, the data will be gone unless the device is synced to the computer it was originally synced to.

The only way the restore will work is if whoever swiped it syncs it with the daughter's computer.
Thanks for the link, Pamela...but, you may want to read the kbase article you linked.
From near the end of the article: +"If you restore on a different computer that was never synced to the iPhone or iPod touch, _you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode but your data will not be present_. "+
To me, that sounds like exactly what I described in my original response.

My 1 year old 3rd gen ipod touch is acting up. BAD.

it always freezes when im on youtube, listening to my music, or just in general. the only way to fix it is to reset it. whenever its on the hold button for too long it shuts its self off even though it is full battery. i have a bunch of memory left, its not jailbroken, nor have i dropped it or got it wet. i can see nothing that has caused it to have problems. sometimes it wont even turn on so i have to force it to. i have seen it go to the white screen while trying to update itunes while it was plugged in. im starting to have doubts of apple products. i have no warrantee, and im ****** that its giving me trouble. i cant for the life of me remember what operating system its on. today I THINK it said 4.1 its the newest one i just updated it.

Try closing all of your open programs, double click the home button, when the multi-task window opens hold your finger on the first app until it starts to wiggle and a red minus sign shows up in the lift upper corner, tap that minus sign to close the app. Do this until all of your apps are closed then check the performance of your iPod touch.

You will need to restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...
If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on how to fix this? I have followed the steps listed on the apple website to p lace it into recovery mode, but the ipod is now "stuck" on the connect to itunes part. Thanks!

Sounds like a case of entering an incorrect passcode over and over. Only fix is to follow the instructions in that article you reference, HT1212, and it may take a couple tries to get it to work right.

Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one? I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

IF she set up find ny ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was lost, AND it is on, AND it is connected to wi-fi, then she may be able to get an approximate street address using the find my ipod service.
Otherwise, no.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

I changed my Apple ID Username, but now my daughter's iPod Touch cannot connect and won't take the new sign-in protocols???

I changed my Apple ID Username on my iMac, but now my daughter's iPod Touch cannot sign-in to iTunes, Apps, etc.. The old username sign-in doesn't work either. Apple Store Rep advised using iCloud to back-up her iPod, but have no experience with iCloud - have nevr used it on my iMac. Any info would be helpful.

I would suggest visiting this URL http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

I tried to restore it, but it's saying that I have to enter the passcode. But, as I said, there's nothing on the sceen excect the circle thing. Please help!!!!!

Start at # 3
1- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
2 Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
3 If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
4 Try on another computer
5 If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
