My ipod touch was stolen. I installed mobile me but never had to use it. When I try to locate it it just comes back saying "location services are disabled". Does that mean that whoever has it has disabled the service or that they havent connected to wifi?

My car was broken into and my ipod touch was stolen. I installed the mobile me but have never had to use it. They renamed the ipod because when I sign in it says it is someone elses ipod...grrrrr!!!! It says location services are disabled. Does this mean that have turned off the locator settings or that they havent connected to wifi? I have been trying to locate it for 2 weeks now. Time to give up? Any info you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

They've probably restored it by now and when that happens, any email accounts/mobileme accounts that were on it are not there anymore.
I hate to say it, but you're most likely SOL.

  • My iPod touch was stolen.. and recovered.. but the kid that stole it cleared my iPod and "made it his own".. it has a password that makes me unable to use it.  I have tried to restore thru iTunes but it won't let me without the password.. HELP !

    My iPod touch was stolen.. and recovered.. but the kid that stole it cleared my iPod and "made it his own".. it has a password that makes me unable to use it.  (He won't give up the password).  I have tried to do the restore thru iTunes but the "note" from iTunes says it is unable to restore without the current password.. is there anyway around this... HELP !

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • 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.

  • My ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work on it or the box so how do i get it

    my ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work or the box, so how do i get the serial number?

    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.

  • I ipod touch was stolen.  Does the apple protection cover replacing it?

    My iPod touch was stolen and I wanted to know if my apple protection plan covers replacing the unit.

    Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 ...but I doubt they cover theft/losing the device.
    If a c'card was used for the purchase, you might try there.
    Good luck in any case.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • My sons ipod touch was stolen is there anyway to trace it

    my sons ipod touch was stolen  it there any way to trace it

    If you have solid reason to believe that this person has the iPod, tell the police. If you can present some sort of concrete evidence, they can get a warrant to search the house, though whether they will do so for a theft of such low magnitude (relatively speaking) I don't know.
    Otherwise, sorry, there's no way to trace the iPod.
