My Ipod Shuffle was Stolen

Any one ! please help ... my ipod was my life it went everywhere with me and then it was stolen from my friends purse... I registered it the same day it was stolen... I have the reciept, original box and eerything for it .. even the head phones! if any one knows of something I could do... or a way i could inform apple please email me at [email protected] ASAP!
-Thanks
Mindi

fact is that in order for the Shuffle to be used it
must be registered with iTunes. From what I
understand the serial number is recorded by Apple.
The shuffle is linked to a particular copy of iTunes, but it may not be true that the iPod's actual serial number is transmitted all the way back to Apple. I don't believe that's true. Apple knows about your copy of iTunes (for Music Store purposes), and your copy of iTunes knows about your iPod, but I have read nothing to suggest that there is a final Napster-style hardware tracking link between your iPod all the way back to Apple. And I never remember sending any personal iPod shuffle registration info to Apple. I'm the type that avoids filling out those forms.
It is unlikely that anyone will be able to help track a stolen shuffle. Stories abound on many forums about people who have had $2500 PowerBooks stolen and have no quick way to track them over the Internet, and Apple does not assist you there. Now the shuffle is not even a big-ticket item like that. In the big picture, even the 1GB shuffle costs less than some people's shoes. But we think of iPods as valuable because they provide a personalized experience.
I am not being unsympathetic here. I lost a shuffle last year, due to my own carelessness. The thing is so small I took it out at a restaurant to show a friend, put it down next to me on the seat in a huge wraparound booth table, and forgot about it when we left. I probably knocked it to the floor without knowing it. I inquired with the restaurant the next day but nobody saw it. I assumed another customer found it and took it home (this is when they were new and cool). My main thought? I was glad I didn't buy a $400 iPod. I just went and bought another shuffle. And this week they just dropped the prices on them.
I hope Mindi is luckier than I was, and gets it back!

My daughters ipod shuffle was stolen. can the new owner just start using it on a different computer?

My daughter hadher ipod shuffle stolen. Can the new owner just start using it on their computer?

Yup....
I'm sorry the only thing he has to do is restore it with another iTunes Library.
With the iPod Touch there is 'Find my iPod' which tracks your iPod.
Sorry

TS3989 My 5th gen ipod touch was stolen. I removed the device from my iTunes account, but their pictures still show up on the photostream on the one I purchased to replace it. How do I get this to stop, the cops have no interest in their faces, nor do I

My 5th gen iPod touh was stolen a month ago. I immediately removed that device from my account and yet today I looked at my photostream and there are tons of pics of these people on my photostream. How do I get this to stop?!?

Change your iCloud ID password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624. After doing so, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new password.

My ipod touch was stolen, I'd like to remove all the content that was on it...

So my iPod touch was stolen. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'll never see it again.
I'd really like to punish whoever stole it. I already changed all my passwords and billing information (it was stolen with my purse and I already changed my debit card). I signed into iTunes today and it says I have an outstaning balance. Whoever stole it must have tried to buy something before I changed everything. I'm already in the process of getting that taken care of.
So I looked at my apps and realised that I don't need them any more so I deleted them. It made a note that the content would be removed from ALL my devices, which got me thinking. Is there a way that I can remove all the music from my iPod as well? I dont want them listening to all my awesome music that I bought. I know that if I remove all my music from my library it will take it away from my iPod, but from my computer as well. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? Maybe if I do delete it from my library but get it back somehow, like maybe saving it somewhere else? I know it's a little far-feched but I would feel a little better about some stranger using my iPod (that my brother gave to me as a birthday gift while he was away at the Navy) if they also didnt have access to all the music that he and I bought. Any sort of hints would really be appreciated.
Thanks =]

If you set up the Find My iPod service before the iPod was stolen, then if circumstances allow (the iPod is on, connected to WiFi, and the thief hasn't restored the iPod or otherwise disabled the service) you could wipe the device. If you didn't set up the service, though, then there's nothing you can do.

That only happens when you sync the iOS device to your computer. It does not remove anything from a non-connected iPod. So there's no need for you to remove your music, nor your apps, from iTunes on your computer since doing so has no effect on the stolen iPod.

If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done. Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

If you registered it, Apple can help you. Give them a call.
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. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

See the end of:
- 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.

HT204053 my ipod touch was stolen

Hi , Unfourtuntaly my Ipod touch was stolen when I went to get my 1993 corvette detail. The guy who stole it has been hacking into my google account. I have two ipad and back them up with icloud, unfortuntly I did not with the ippod touch. I did have the serial number once before from a apple assoicate. I also was able to track down some of the place they been by looking at my google history. I di not have any more details now. I did contact the owner of the shop, which i think it might have been him as well. I also called the police and told them where the ipod has been and where it last place to be at and had the serial number then and I told him I would like for him to go get it. He called the shop owner to work things out with me . he chose not too. and now I do not have the serial number. What can i do? Sincerly Karen aka Harmony4jc

First change your Google account / Gmail password. Go here:
https://www.google.com/settings/security
Sign in with your Google ID and password, and change your password. You will need to change your Google password in all the devices that use it already - your computers and iPads for instance, so don't forget the new password.
While you are there consider adding a secondary contact email and / or a phone number for Google account verification also.
That will prevent the thief from using your Google account, assuming he didn't change your password already. That would be bad.
Your iPod's serial number, while useful for the police report to establish ownership, is not useful in determining its location. Only iCloud can do that, assuming it was enabled it in your iPod Touch.
If you are absolutely certain the shop stole your iPod, or even failed to properly secure your Vette and its contents while it was in their care, then file a claim in small claims court. The burden is on you to prove they stole it, but if the shop owner suspects you are right he will settle with you. He may even fire the scumbag who stole it.
Don't forget that comprehensive auto insurance policies generally cover the car's contents as well, but the reimbursement might only reduce your deductible amount.
Good luck!

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 touch was stolen, i got it back, however it won't allow me to use it to download icloud

my ipod touch was stolen, now it won't let me download i cloud, and everything that was on it was erased, not sure what to do? the ipod is only 6 weeks old!

We need info about the iPod.

What OS?
Do you have an iCloud or iTunes backup?

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 touch was stolen and im trying to find a way to track it down

my ipod touch was stolen and in trying to find a way to track it down.

IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod and it is on and it is connected to wi-fi and the thief has not restored it, then you may be able to get an approximate location using icloud.
Otherwise it cannot be tracked.
