My ipod was stolen help!!
one of the store ipod people told me i can get it back reason i have my warrenty till the end of this year i want to kno if thats thru and how?
Hey!
Bryan,I do agree with what you're saying.However, would it not be fair to say that IF iPods used such a security code(don't mean the near useless Screenlock feature)then maybe the filthy wretch about to steal it may think twice.Afterall if they can't use it then it's not worth the risk,there would be no market.I don't mean tracking it etc.Just be electronically tagged to your iTunes account.Why not implement the same password procedure when connecting your iPod as you do when accessing your iTunes account.I'm well aware an iPod is the owners responsibility.However it's not always through owners carelessness.If you wanted to sell it on,being the registered owner,you would be able to do a factory reset through your login.Thereby wiping all your music and keeping everything 'above board'.Heck!Apple could even sell on extra Apple care cover with it!
Just a thought!
Cheers,
John

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.- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police

My ipod was stolen and i can not get my music onto my computer. What do I do? Ive spent ALOT of money on music and apps and i cant access them. anyone want to be so kind as to help?
What country are you in ? As long as they are still available in the store then apps can be re-downloaded from the store for free, and in a number of countries music can also be re-downloaded : re-downloading.

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

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!

hello my name is marco and my ipod was stolen during school its a 4th generation 32gb. i need help in how to start a process to finding it or tracking it i also have the serial number if that helps, the phone number to apple where i can report it missing would really help! incase someone uses it and attempts to register it can i get the location to where this attempt was made i.p. adress etc. please i need help this ipod is precious to me and its something that i can't just forget about.
If you haven't turned on FindMyiPhone in settings (yes, even for the iPod), there's nothing you can do. Apple will not help you find it using the serial number. If you did turn it on and the thief doesn't get into the iPod (you did have a passcode set, right?), then go to iCloud website using a browser, log in and try finding the iPod. Unless the thief reset the device to factory settings, and if the wifi isn't off, it's location should show on the map. After that it's up to you to report its location to the police.

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 and i finnaly was able to get into my account after they changed the password is there a way i can fid the locaition of my ipod even if it has died ?
No. The only way is if the FindMyiPod feature was already set up and wifi is on. However, that can be defeted by turning the iPod off or restoring it. If they have access to the iPod then can just turn the feature off.
If the iPod off/battery drained how would you expect there t be a way of finding it?
Apple will not help. -

My iPod was stolen and now I can't access my iTunes account
My iPod was stolen and within half an hour my iTunes account was locked from an attempted hack.
I reset all the passwords and have since gotten a new iPod but anytime I try to login to my account everything freezes. I can access it online and on this forum, obviously, but my laptop running windows7 freezes instantly and my desktop computer running windows XP freezes as soon as I try to go to the store.
How do I fix this? It happens on both the computers I had authorized for that iPod and I'm not sure what to do.
Do I need to delete my account and start over? If so how would I do that? I've been told it is extremely difficult and usually results in the loss of use of iTunes on any computers you had authorized before.
At this point I don't even care about the money I'll lose on my old account I just want my music back.This won't get your old messages back but will help with new ones: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

HT1349 My Ipod was stolen how do i get the serial number?
My IPOD was stolen how do I get the serial number?
The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.
