My ipod touch got stolen. there's details on it, I wold really like to 'lock' or 'disable' it. i don't have an app for it - is it possible? please

please help? i know the serial number

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 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.

  • My Ipod touch got stolen is there any way to deactivate it so no one can use it

    My Ipod touch got stolen can I deactivate it so no one can use it?

    No.
    - 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.

  • My IPod touch got stolen and I can't remember Apple ID/ Apple ID password to be able to track it.

    My IPod touch got stolen today while on vacation and I can't remember my Apple ID/Apple ID password, which I need to be able to track it. I know my email associated with my Apple ID so I got the password reset link sent to my email but when I click on it, it sends me to a blank page every time. I've tried this on a computer, iPad, and iPhone, and have even called in and gotten tech support yet no luck...any suggestions on what I should do!?!?!? (I'm on my sister's Apple ID and iPhone right now) thanks!!!

    unless you have the find my iphone app enabled and the wifi was enabled when the ipod was stolen there is nothing more you can do i'm sorry that your ipod was stolen while you rwere on vacation but that is all that can be done

  • My ipod touch got stolen and when i got it back it said connect to itunes how do i get my apps and information on it back while restarting it through itunes?

    my ipod touch got stolen and when i got it back it said ipod disabled connect to iTunes how do i get my information from notes, contacts, etc. and apps on it back while restarting it through iTunes?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see the following. This will get the iPod like it was when the backup was made. This is you only possible way of getting your information back since when the iPod is in recovery mode (the screen show conect to iTunes) the iPod is already erased.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My iPod touch got stolen and I'm not sure how to get it back.

    It's a stupid coincidence really. At school, I left my iPod nano and my iPod touch in my pocket, them both in my zipped one:/ the iPod nano I'm not really concerned about. What happened was I left it in my blazer (I'm from the UK) and it was in the changing rooms because I was doing swimming. And after swimming I looked in my pockets and they were both gone including my earphones and they were not installed into thhe iPod that time. Nothing fell out because my bottle of water was in my big pocket at the front. There's no tracking device on them obviously not on the nano but I'm trying my best to find them both:/ I regret leaving them in there now.
    If you know how I could possibly get them back tell me please:/.
    Thankyouu.

    Since you did not set up the FindMyiPod feature on the iPod touch, there is nothing special you can do to find the itmes.  Just look.  Also, report it to the police, and maybe the school, and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.  Sorry about the loss.

  • My Ipod Touch got stolen. What should I do?

    This is honestly, the second time it's been stolen and I'm SICK SICK SICK of it.
    The thing costs a lot and not to mention I don't even have a job yet. Kids in my school are so dishonest.
    Today, I was searching up how to track down my ipod without icloud or any of those tracking apps and I found out I could probably get their IP address from my gmail. And, to my surprise I found an ip address that's NOT mine. My friends told me the police wont do anything. I also have the serial number of my ipod.
    What should I do? Am I even able to get it back?

    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.
