My Ipod touch was stolen and i was wondering if apple will track it ?
My friend told me that they will and she has done it before but others say they wont ? is there really any way ?
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. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. 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.

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

The manual does not show that feature natively for the iPod. Later iPhones and iPads have that feature natively. -

My ipod was stolen and I was trying to track it via icloud but they've disabled the location services. Will they still receive my "Find My iPod" messages?
If they disabled services, then they disabled Find My iPhone (if they're smart), so you won't be able to track it and/or wipe it. Messages won't work either.

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 didnt download the trackking app i really need it back it has all my music and information on it.. What should i do? Can i use another ipod to download the app and find it on someone elses? Please help
No app is required.
- 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

Help! My iPhone 4 was stolen, and it is in iOS 7, will the phone still be used? Or if they reformat it, my files would be deleted? I hope all my files will be deleted. Thanks for your help.
Hey ChrisJ4203, thanks for answering buddy , I still have a question.
I have a passcode for my iPhone, but I don't have the application Find my iPhone. Can I retrieve my photos, notes, reminders and all other data in my iPhone, I mean, if I bought another one, and connect it to my computer and go to iTunes then restore backup, cause I backup my iPhone last Oct 10, 2013, will I recover all the details in my iPhone that was stolen? It's like I'm still using my old iPhone's apps but with a new iPhone. Thanks.

My i phone was stolen and I was wondering what the exact thing to do is! Also how can i send an email to apple to tell them to lock my phone permanantely?? Helpp!!
Check this out https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3362, thanks to Kappy. Contact your carrier, they would be the only one that could possibly blacklist your phone, if they provide that service.

i reset my ipod touch 5th generation and i just reset my apple id and password and it wont let me activate my ipod. I need help!!
What happens when you try? Error message?
To activate you have to enter the ID and password last used for Settings>iCloud. In most cases the Apple ID is used for Settings>iCloud but not always.
If problems contact iTunes

My ipod touch locks up and when i reset it it will not come back on.
my ipod touch locks up and when i reset it it will not come back on. when i plug it to my computer it wont come back on. it does this often and after a couple of days it will finally turn back on.
Have you tried restoring the iPod via itunes on your computer? First restore from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My ipod was stolen when i was at school. I didn't have a passcode on it, and i really want to make sure the theifs don't have the opption to look at all my personal info, pictures, and events. I have taken steps to attempt to protect myself, but i was wondering what unregestring your ipod does/purpose? thanks for answering my questions.
My ipod touch is a 8GB, older ipod touch (no camera, older ipod touch, maybe "2nd generation"??)What do you mean "unregister"?
I am not sure that this is a thing.
There is nothing you can do but report it to the poilce and change your passwords.
If you did not passcode lock it, then the thief can look at everything on your ipod. -
I have the serial and everything and i was wondering if i could somehow register it with icloud so i could track it, because it was stolen
IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itsled BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been restored, then you may be able to find an approximate street address using find my ipod in icloud.
Otherwise there is no way to track it.
Change your passwords and report it to the police.
