My ipod was stolen a yr ago...

I have since purchased a new ipod , but my son recently had a friend of his sell him and ipod which I suspected could of had stole it. I have erased all info from the first ipod. I wanted to know is there some way to find out if this ipod was the one that was stolen. I did not report it stolen to the police but I did on my apple or itunes account. any one able to help me figure this out.

You would need to compare the Serial Number on the iPod to the original Serial Number. If you don't have the original Serial Number, you are out of luck. If you do, then go to Settings>General>About, and compare the Serial Number listed there to the one you saved from your old iPod.
Cheers,

  • My ipod was stolen 2 days ago

    My ipod was stolen 2 days ago and i need to know is there a way i can get into my account with itunes a delete everything (Photos, music, etc..???

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be contacted and erased, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that once you erase the iPod, there wont be any way to track it, so you probably will want to note any location information it gives you first so you can give that to the police.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track nor erase it remotely. If you had a screenlock passcode set, though, then the thief or whoever they give or sell the iPod will will have to restore it to use it, and that will erase everything.
    Regards.

  • Hi, my ipod was stolen 2 days ago, how to see last location?

    30 mins ago the ipod connected to find my iphone and i locked it, but the location was unavailable, just a moments ago i got the location, but just for a few minutes, now i dont know how to see that las location, HELP!
    I was assaulted by for guys two days ago, luckly i ended with just a few little bruises, alive. Im from argentina, yes, here you are lucky if you get away without a stab from this kind of things, i ran like ****. i want this scum in jail and my ipod back.

    What is the "Voxer"?
    If you set up the find my iphone feature on the iphone itself and it is on and it has not been restored, then you may be able to locate using icloud.com.
    Otherwise, it cannot be tracked.

  • My Ipod was stolen and I can't seem to register it's serial number

    My Ipod was stolen a week ago, and  as a means of possibly 'connecting' to it, I  tried to enter the serial number to it, but It keeps on saying that it is registered to another ID despite me only having  the  one. What do I do? Thanks!

    You cannot "connect" to it by using the serial number. The following has information from Apple regarding a lost or stolen device: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

  • My iPod was stolen a long a few months ago and I've given up all hope in finding it. I have never purchased item on iTunes, and I think the iCloud might have been deleted. It doesn't show up in "My products" either.

    No. Apple won't do anything without a court order. Since it wasn't upgraded to iOS 7 before it was stolen then there's nothing you can do. You could file a police report with your serial number but there may be a small chance.

  • My Ipod Was Stolen, and now it won't restore!

    Dear whoever gets this desperate post,
    My ipod was stolen about 1 month ago. By some strange strokes of luck, I got it back from the police today. I am trying to restore it, thereby subsequently re-loading my songs on it. But I am stuck. I plug it in, it eventually notices it's there it gives this message:
    iTunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with iTunes.
    Seemed natural enough, given what I was told about the dimwitted thieves. So I hit "restore." I wait for it, quickly getting the message that it has been restored, and I should wait until it restarts, then load the music on it. But it doesn't. I wait a minute or so, and it comes up with msg #1 (^ see above). I tried the instructions offered in the sticky topic at the top of the menu page, but even with the drive changed to I (I checked, it still is), nothing is improving. Help!

    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • My ipod was stolen and i need the serial number to denounce, but i dont have anything how i can get the number?

    If your iPod was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
    iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
    If you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.

  • My iPod was stolen about 2 days, but I don't have iCloud turned on the iPod. Help?

    Okay, so about 2 days ago, my iPod was stolen from my bag. My older sister and I have been trying to locate it, but we can't because I believe that iCloud isn't turned on on the iPod. We've been to the iCloud website and I'm pretty sure I have the Find my iPhone (iPod) app, but without iCloud, we just can't locate it. It's really stressing me out. I've got the serial number, but we're not sure if we should bring the police into this. Yes, it is considered a theft, but it could have been just a little elementary schooler who took it. Either way, I just want it back.
    My older sister is planning to call the police if her college professor, a computer technician, doesn't reply to her e-mail. She wants to see if he could track down the IP address from a post on my Facebook last night via iOS. That might take a while, so could someone please help me? I really just want to get my iPod. It has all my personal texts, pictures, and files on there. The thief may have deleted everything, and I don't think I could retrieve the lost data.

  • Hi, my iPhone 4 was stolen two weeks ago, and I called ATT to suspend the service. Today, we were able to trace it and it is under a different name.  What should I do? Should I report to police?

    Hi, my iPhone was stolen two weeks ago, and I called ATT to suspend the service.  Today, we were about to find it using my iPod, and it is now under a different name.  What should I do?  Should I report to police?  I did called ATT again, and they told me that they cannot do anything, since the SIM card might have been replaced.

    Doesn't hurt to call the police. 
    The SIM wasn't replaced; if it were, you wouldn't have been able to locate it.

  • What should i do if my ipod was stolen?

    My IPod was stolen about a month ago. I reported it and have been looking for it but i have had no luck. I don't know what else i need to do. Would Apple replace it?

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

  • Today my iPod was stolen! But I also use iPhone, and both of them are registered in the same Apple ID!

How can I avoid this process now?????? All my private data are not saved now!

    You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

  • Hi anybody there who can help me ha..? My phone 5s was stolen 1 month ago..Find my phone is no a big deal, How can i know whether my phone is in use??

    Hi anybody there who can help me ha..? My phone 5s was stolen 1 month ago..Find my phone is no a big deal bcz it seems to be wiped out all data including settings. it might be in use somewhere turning new fresh Gadget.  How can i know whether my phone is in use??

    You would know for a fact if the device is in use, but if you go back to the find my iPhone app in iCloud.com, you can either select to erase it, or place it in lost mode, in which case, once the device makes a connection to the internet, it will automatically go into that mode.

  • My ipod was stolen, can I find out what the serial number of it is, based on looking at a connection history in my itunes? How would I do this? I didn't register it.

    My ipod was stolen, can I find out what the serial number of it is, based on looking at a connection history in my itunes? How would I do this? I didn't register it. I think I found the guy selling it, just looking to confirm the serial number and I'll make a phone call to the police.
    Thanks

    Yes.
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPod and select Preferences… from the iTunes menu.
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPod's serial number will appear in a popup window.
