My friend's friend found an iPod and deleted the data is there any way to find out who owned it before via serial number, bring it in somewhere, or other way?

Is there anyway to find out owner

- Some users have said that if you contact Apple, Apple will try to contact the previous owner. Apple will not give you that information.
Apple - Support - iPod touch - Contact Us
- You should also report it to the police and here

I have sold my IPhone 4 and forgot to delete Apple ID , email and wipe the IPhone, is there any way to do it other then "find my IPhone app"

I Have changed my Apple ID password but that won't help as all my notes, messages, emails etc are on there, is there any way to wipe the IPhone without having it anymore? I can't erase the IPhone though "find my IPhone" app as I didn't download it on that IPhone. Thanks

Go to icloud.com. Log in with your Apple ID & Password. Go to the Find My iPhone section. Perform a remote wipe of the device.
You don't have to have downloaded any app. You only have to have enabled the Find My iPhone option under Settings > iCloud. If you did not do that, then you cannot remotely access the device.
If that's the case, then change ALL of your account passwords; email, banking, etc. All of them. And then monitor those accounts very closely!

OMG, I accidentally deleted my iPhoto and emptied the trash, is there any way to get it back?

Please help! I'm having a heart attack right now, I accidentally deleted my iPhoto that has hundreds of pictures and I have already emptied the trash, please tell me if there is any way I can get it back?

If you have not backed it up, then your only option is to stop using the computer immediately, as further use will risk writting over the sectors of your HDD, and make it difficult to recover.
Now the recovery process is long, and expensive, and your files may not be in any particular order. There may be millions of files to sift through.
You would need to use a program like Data Rescue 3, and pull out your HDD, and plug it as an external into another machine.
Or you could spend thousands having it done professionally.
For "hundreds", is it worth it?

ITunes restored my iPod and wiped everything. Is there any way I can get it back?

I just synced my iPod with a brand new computer. The sync wasn't fully complete and I got a message from iTunes saying that my Ipod was in distress, and that I couldn't use it or Itunes unless I restored it back to factory settings. After trying unsucsessfully to get this message off both my computer and iPod screen, I restored my iPod thinking that my iPod had been backed up earlier in the sync. It hadn't. All my pictures, videos, music, and apps, that I don't have saved anywhere else are gone. Is there anything I can do??

if you have itunes on your PC/MAC sync the replacement iPhone using the last backup from the defective device

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necessary to allow the restore.

HT2589 i was given an ipod by a friend due to them buying a newer ipod. I want to transfer the music that is currently on the ipod to my itunes without having to sync my ipod and delete the music. Any suggestions?

Without even knowing if Apple's DRM would permit this, if you are in the U.S. then that's copyright infringement.

I have recently found an iphone with a passcode and i need to know if there is anyway to find out who it belongs to, please help.

i have found this iphone 4 down the local pub and i have had it in my possession for almost a month now and none has come to claim it, is there anyway to find out who it belongs to or if i could find out stuff about them like maybe a home contact but i dont want to mess around bypassing the passcode incase it removes data, what can i do to find out who it belongs to ?

The only way for you to get past the passcode would be to restore the phone as a new device in iTunes, thus erasing all data on the phone. Unfortunately, this is the only way to get into the phone, but any owner info will be gone. However, you will be able to see the phone's IMEI number, & with that you can contact various carriers to see if the phone was reported lost or stolen. The carrier won't tell you who the owner is, but they will be able to contact the owner.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

No.
To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
Restore the Device as New...

OR...
from a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

I wanted to know how to view the gifts I've sent to people and (if possible) know if they received and downloaded them. Is there any way to do that, other than asking the person?

I wanted to know how to view the gifts I've sent to people and (if possible) know if they received and downloaded them. Is there any way to do that, other than asking the person? Obviously I want the gift to be a surprise (for my best friend specifically) so asking them if they received it would ruin that.

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

Yes you can still purchase replacement batteries your iPod from third party repair companies. Apple does not offer replacement parts.
Do a Google search for iPod battery replacement and you should get a plethora of results. There are many good deals on Amazon and eBay.
