MY DAUGHTER LOST HER IPOD, I AM TRYING TO FIND IT I HAVE THE SERIAL

My daughter cant find her ipod, it has been missing for 3 weeks now, she said she did not take it out of the house.  I have searched everywhere!!!  I think she did bring it out and someone found it but they dont know who to return it to.  What can I do to find it.  I have the serial #.  The find my iphone app may not be on it, we are not sure.

IF (and only if) the iPod was previously configured with the "Find my..." function, you can attempt to send a message to the device.  If an honest person has located the iPod, he/she will presumably return it to your daughter.  Otherwise, she's out of luck.
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.

  • My daughter locked her ipod. I tryed to re set it, but it failed. The screan is just black. What do i do now

    My daughter locked her ipod. I tried to reset it, but it failed. The Screen is black and will not turn on.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    My daughter lost her ipod somewhere in the house.  Unfortunately it is offline. My home has WiFi is there a way to some how wake it up so we can find it?

    No. If it is offline then there is no way to find it on the web. The device must respond in order to be located.

    My daughter lost her Ipod 5 on 11-2-14 at the Snow Shoe rest stop in PA. I am posting here hoping whomever found it might be seeking to return it as it is useless to them.  Please post if you found it. I will pay for postage and reward for returning. Thank you.

    No app on the iOS device is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - 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 device and report to police and rest stop agency
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:

    My daughter put a password on her ipod and has now forgotten the password and disabled her ipod, we no longer have the computer that it was last synced to please help

    You'll need to connect the device to the new iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.  From there, restore it to factory settings.

  • I want to give my old ipod to a friend, but I no longer have the serial #

    I gave my old ipod to a friend, but we are both unsure if he can use it. I reased all of my songs, so it was blank. HIs wife has itunes but he is afraid to plug it in for fear that it will somehow affect her ipod. Do I need to somehow find the serial # (no idea how to do that) so he can register th ipod on itunes?

    He does not need to register it and it will not affect her iPod. Just don't connect both of them at the same time. The serial number is on the iPod and when he connects it to his computer he can also click on the iPod in iTunes, move to the Summary tab to the right and the serial number will be displayed.

  • MY DAUGHTER LOST HER IPOD AFTER I SET UP THE MOBILE ME AND FIND ME THING.  I CAN GET INTO MOBILE ME BUT NOT INTO THE FIND ME PASSWORD ACCOUNT.  I CANT SEEM TO TALK TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO LISTEN ON THE PHONE.  I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR MONTHS NOW

    I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED W APPLE.  IT WAS SETUP ON HER AUNTS COMPUTER WITH MY INFORMATION(AS FAR AS I KNOW BECAUSE I DID IT) AND I CANNOT GET ANYWHERE WITH THE FIND ME APPLICATION

    Sorry about you daughter ipod.
    Typing in all caps indicates shouting, considered rude, and is difficult to read.
    Many simply do not read such posts.
    Can't tell from your post, what the issue is.
    Please explain ( not in all caps please) what is happening.  Perhaps someone will be able to help.

  • My daughter lost her ipod.   Is there any way we can track it after the fact?

    Again, my question is, we bought an ipod for my daughter's Bday about 6 weeks ago, and last week she lost it.  Is there any way to track it?

    Find my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1 and greater) - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network, and not having been restored by the finder.  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com/  Otherwise, no. Report the loss to the police.  Change passwords on anything that might have been used by the iPod.

  • My daughter lost her ipod nano 5th generation.  Anywhere to get a new one of that generation.  Was a gift from Santa so she's devastated.

    Anywhere to get a new one of the 5th generation.  Was a gift from Santa so she's devastated.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you looked around on Amazon or eBay?  There are still several sites that sell brand new unopened 5G Nanos.

  • My sister lost her iPod touch password

    Hi,
    My sister forgot her iPod Touch's password. We do not have the original computer that syncs the iPod since she only synced it once. Therefore, we cannot restore from a backup... At this point, we don't mind loosing all the data on the iPod, she wants to be able to use it. What can we do!?
    Thank you

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync 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.

    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.
