My sons lpod was stolen by one of his friends who knows his pin, can the device be traced if it is hooked to another computer?

My sons lpod was stolen by one of his so called friends, can the device be traced if the thief goes on line with another computer ?

- 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 to 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

  • My sons iPhone was stolen

    My sons iPhone was stolen from school I contacted ATT had them disable data then found out I couldn't track it anymore so renabled this morning. Did this allow them to unlock an disable the find my iPhone app.

    Hello MommyDoRight
    Because the device is not in front of you, it is hard to say why you cannot find it. But some of the reasons would be the date and time is incorrect, location services may be turned off, or his iPhone may be powered off and not connected to the internet.

  • My Ipad was stolen - how do I get my serial number so I can lock it.

    My Ipad was stolen, how do I get my serial number so I can lock it?

    The serial number will be located in the box the device came in.
    However, having the serial number will not help you lock it.
    The only way to lock it would have been if you set up Find My iPad on iCloud.com and the iPad.
    you could then go to iCloud.com and lock it from the "Find my iPhone" section of the website.

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone,it blocks Cloud memory?

    My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

  • My tablet was stolen on 9 -18 2013 is there any way we can track it possibly through an android app

    hi my tablet was stolen on 9/18 2013. is there any way i can track it

    bigjoe1370,
    Sorry for your loss.  Basically when it comes to stolen / lost units what we can do is flag your unit as stolen.  If you file a police report with the local authorities, you can then call sony technical support, fax in the police report and we will log your unit stolen in our file.  If someone happened to send it in for service etc we can recover it that way.

  • Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

    Can i erase my stolen macbook pro with find my mac even if it states the device was locked on a specific date (not by me) after being stolen?

    Barry, the other stolen computer, my IMac does not show me a locked on such and such date, but simply says offline.  I set that computer to erase when it goes online and notify me when it is found, and to play a tone and play a message that the police are on their way!

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • Where did my file directory go?  I thought my mail was backed up in my .me account and now that my computer was stolen and I need to restore my emails all I can find are the ones in my inbox

    I thought my mail was backed up in my .me account but when my computer was stolen and I went to restore my email in my new one, all I had were emails in the inbox.  Is there any way I can retrieve the saved file directory?  I did not back up the mail because that was being done by the .me account (I thought)

    If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

  • My iPad was stolen any one know how I can trace it using PC?

  • My sons ipod was stolen.  i have serial number.  how do i get it located?

    Hi.   My 6 yeolds iPod touch we stolen this morning.  I have serial number.  How can I 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.
    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.

  • If my iPhone was stolen and i didn't have FindMyiPhone app or MobileMe can I issue an insurance claim

    If my iPhone3GS was stolen and i do not have a FindMyiPhone or MoblieMe app can i still issue a insurance claim

    A warranty and insurance are two different things.
    The iPhone one year limited warranty doesn't cover theft.
    Apple - Legal
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    AT&T is your carrier, not an insurance company.
    If you have home owner's or renters insurance, then the theft may be covered under that.
