My iPod classic was recently stolen. Do I have an recourse through Apple?

My iPod classic was recently stolen from my vehicle during a break in. Do I have any recourse through Apple? Can I remotely wipe it or locate it?

As above you cannot remotely wipe an iPod classic.
Apple has no obligation to you in this matter. Talk to your vehicle insurer, though if the item was visible from outside of the vehicle they will probably want to reduce their pay out to you rather than increase it.

  • My iPod touch was recently stolen and I have been trying to find it on iCloud but sadly it has not connected to the internet at all so I have not been able to track it.What should I do?

    - 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.
    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • My iPod touch was recently stolen and I have the serial number, is there any way to track it and/or get it back?

    I have the original box with the serial number on it, but it is no longer protected under the AppleCare plan. I don't have any of the GPS or MobileMe apps installed on it, but was wondering if there was a way that you could still recover it. Also is there a way to make it so that if someone plugs it into their computer, it won't work?

    Without having already set up the FindMyiPod feature there is nothng you can do to locate the iPod.  Apple can't help either.  Thereis no way to prevent someone from restoring your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and using. Report it to the police and change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod. it.

  • My iPod touch was recently stolen, and I don't know how to locate it.  What good would filing a police report with the serial number do?

    I recently got my iPod touch fourth generation stolen.  How do I get it back? I've heard of filing a police report and giving them my serial number, but what good would that do? I don't have any locater apps on it so I don't know what to do.  Helpp!!!

    If you did not set up Find My iPod on the unit before it was stolen, then there's no way to trace it. Whether filing a police report would accomplish anything I can't say, but it's all you can do. They might get lucky.
    If you purchased the iPod with a credit card, check with your card issuer and ask if they offer any sort of loss/theft coverage. Some card programs do, and would replace the iPod for you.
    Regards.

  • My ipod classic was just stolen, how do I track it?

    How do I track an ipod classic?

    An iPod Classic cannot be traced through iCloud since you cannot setup the Find My app on it.  There isn't much you can do besides notify the police and your insurance carrier.

  • My ipod touch was recently stolen. is it possible to get the songs back i had without syncing to a computer as that is fried also?

    Does itunes keeps track of all the songs that you buy from the itunes store?

    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, not good, then you can reownload some purchases in some countries

  • My iPod was recently stolen I am not sure beside reporting it to the police how I can shut it down as I think someone is trying to access it  What do I do?

    Hi I hope I am in the right area my ipod touch was recently stolen and although I am reporting it to the police< I think someone is trying to  download apps.  What can I do to shut this down.  I am not sure I downloaded cloud.

    Apple will not help
    If you previously turned on FindMyiPod ins Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can then find its general location and wipe it. If the iPod has been restored it will show off-line forever.
    Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Received an apple id password reset email the night ipod classic was stolen. Coincidence?

    My iPod classic was stolen from my vehicle. The same evening I received an apple id password reset email. Is it possible that the thief initiated the email with just the iPod and maybe my name (as it is on the vehicle registration in my car). There is no way this person could know my email address to initiate a request.

    That's the only answer, if your email address was on the iPod the thief has it, everything on the iPod is open to him/her. But it would have to include your AppleID.
    It was a coincidence.

  • My iPod Classic was stolen and returned to me by police but now it "cannot be synced because it cannot be written to or read from". I noticed the thief had changed the format to "windows" but I have restored it and still get the same message.

    If the media is in the library then yes it is that simple. Connect the device, load it up with your media. The problem is when you try to connect a full device to a new empty library on a new computer when iTunes will offer to replace the content on the device with that in the local library, i.e. nothing! (For anyone in that position see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device).
    You should be able to add your devices at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ though I'm not sure what happens if the second hand iPod was previously registered.

  • My iPod classic was stolen from my car is there away to recover it

    My iPod Classic was stolen from my car is there away to use iTunes to recovery it ?

    The only way that you can track it, is if you had find my iPhone app on, and it needs to be connected to a wi-fi network.  You should change your iTunes password as soon as possible.
