My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it if someone turns it in?
Change her 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.

I'VE LOST MY IPOD WHAT CAN I DO TO FIND IT BACK?
i hope to find my ipod back since it's a special gift from someone, but i accidently lost it, is there anyway i can find it back? plzzzzzzz help!!!!! ,>^<,
Unless someone has it and wants to just listen to the music you put on it, they will have to sync it to a computer to put new music on it. I know that there is a serial number for each iPod, and I think part of authorizing for sync involves iTunes transmitting that serial number to Apple. That may or may not tell Apple where your iPod is, but I'm thinking it's probably pretty easy to avoid getting caught. Maybe they can prevent that serial number from being activated to a new iTunes account, but maybe not even that. I'd call Apple to see what they say. You may want to search the web for any FAQs first.

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.

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.

My daughter broke her ipod touch-can we transfer everything (songs/apps/phone # for texting/etc) to the new one we just bought? We do have icloud.
You certainly can. Just plug it in and launch iTunes. It will tell you what to do. Easy.

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.

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:

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.

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.
