Received an apple id password reset email the night ipod classic was stolen. Coincidence?

My iPod classic was stolen from my vehicle. The same evening I received an apple id password reset email. Is it possible that the thief initiated the email with just the iPod and maybe my name (as it is on the vehicle registration in my car). There is no way this person could know my email address to initiate a request.

That's the only answer, if your email address was on the iPod the thief has it, everything on the iPod is open to him/her. But it would have to include your AppleID.
It was a coincidence.

My iPod Classic was stolen and returned to me by police but now it "cannot be synced because it cannot be written to or read from". I noticed the thief had changed the format to "windows" but I have restored it and still get the same message.

If the media is in the library then yes it is that simple. Connect the device, load it up with your media. The problem is when you try to connect a full device to a new empty library on a new computer when iTunes will offer to replace the content on the device with that in the local library, i.e. nothing! (For anyone in that position see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device).
You should be able to add your devices at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ though I'm not sure what happens if the second hand iPod was previously registered.

Why are we not receiving the Apple ID password reset email? It is not in a SPAM folder..

Can anyone help?
Please..

Did you ask to have your Apple ID password reset? If not, it's a scam. Do not click on any of the links in the message, and delete the e-mail. It's also possible that an attacker is trying to gain access to your Apple ID. It would be wise to enable two-factor verification on your Apple ID:

Reset all the time Ipod Classic 80gb

Hello,
I have a question and I hope one of you can answer me.
I got an iPod classid 80GB for a long time already,
When i had my iPhone 4s I had to update iTunes so I did.
Later I wanted to put new music on my iPod classic, connected but it took a while before it connected to my PC
and i had to reset all settings and all the music was gone.
So I did reset everything, everything was gone so I connected again and I had to reset it again, again and again.
Everytime I connect my iPod classic to my PC it has to be reset because it's in 'Reset modus', and can't put any music on it.
I hope somebody had this problem already or know this problem that can help me out.
Thanks,,
Mats

Are any other USB devices connected to your PC when you reconnect it?
Have you seen this article?
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

My Ipod Classic was stolen from my car and I don't have the serial number, is there a way to find the serial number on the apple store (I remember registering my ipod on itunes) and track it somehow if somebody else wants to use it on itunes?

^ That's basically my question, any help is appreciated.

No. Even if you found the serial number, it wouldn't help; there is no capability to remotely track or disable an iPod other than the iPod touch.

Not receiving the iCloud password reset email

I am trying to assist a friend in retrieiving the information stored on his iCloud account via an iPhone that has since been broken
I've attempted to use the link several times to send an email to the Hotmail email address that is set-up as the iCloud user name but while I get the email sent confirmation, as yet no email has been received at this email address and I'm running out of suggestions as to how to help.
I also attempted to follow the security questions route to resetting the password but sadly failed at the first hurdle and I can only assume that his date of birth was originally entered incorrectly, as when I enter his actual birth date, I get an error message
I also thought that I might be able to access a password reset by using the same iCloud user name as his Apple ID, since with my own account, my Apple ID is the same as my iCloud user name but his iCloud user name is not recognised as an existing Apple ID
Any help or assistance would be most gratefully received as he's desperate to recover some photos etc that were uploaded to the iCloud from the broken iPhone and with him being somewhat technically illiterate, I appear to be the only person who can assist and without the password reset email being received at the Hotmail address which is the iCloud user name, I am totally flummoxed as to being able to offer any further assistance.
With my utmost thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to offer any sugggestions or advice in this bothersome matter
Kind Regards
Bernard

Thanks a million randers4 for taking the trouble to get back to me.
I will get my pal to come over when we've both time to sit down and foillow your advice (and the link). However, sadly I suspect that we might have a problem proving his identity to the satisfaction of the support team, as whenever I've tried to assist this mate in the past, the same issues have always arisen, where he's not got a clue as to usernames, passwords, security questions.
I presume he must have some sort of underlying paranoia about revealing any genuine information about himself online. This proves incredibly frustrating and I invariably end up tearing what's left of my hair out, in my efforts to resolve his myriad of technical queries and yet while I invariaby end up losing patience, tired of trying to drum it into him to write login details down, to keep them safe, or to only use answers that he knows he will remember, in light of everything that's come to light recently, in truth perhaps it's me who is the stupid one for freely giving up all my personal information online and it will eventually prove that he is most sensible for refusing to relinquish any genuine personal details about himself.
Then again, at least I am able to retrieve my iCloud photos!
Apologies for waffling on. Hopefully I can come back to say issue has been resolved, but I've an inkling I might have to return to enquire if there are any further options
Kind Regards
Bernard

HT5787 I can't receive password reset email!

I can’t receive password reset email. Probably because this email address has been used before as second email to another Apple ID. I removed it from the other Apple ID a week ago but still can’t receive reset email.

Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

Support forum password reset email not received...

I'm trying to login to the support forums. I have my user name, rsmith79. What I thought was my password apparently isn't. I tried multiple times to get a password reset email sent to me but I haven't received one. And yes, I'm using the correct email address to request one. I was stuck having to create this new account. I want to get access to my old account. Please help.

Have we got a password reset feature now then ? <br />I had not noticed !
* EDIT yes link is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/resendconfirmation <br /> and I imagine that may only work with the correct and original email account.
You only seem to have made one other post [/questions/816588], but that is now old and unanswered and was closed by this forums automated systems.
(Previous profile link [/user/397761 rsmith79] & [/users/edit current] )
Have you got any other questions you need answering ?

Can't login. Receiving password reset emails for w...

Hello,
I'm having really weird problems with my skype account [Redacted for privacy.]. I registered a new one just to post this message, because I can't log in with my original.
I checked - I have 3 emails set in my profile. I'm logged in on the Skype App. Everything I want to change requires a password, and it doesn't accept the pass, even though I have it saved (using 1pass).
When I attempt to reset my pass, I'm receiving password reset emails for users that aren't mine. I successfully changed the password for two different users, probably making them suffer the same problem as myself. Not sure how Skype picked those two users and decided they are me.
So, I'm logged in, but can't change anything, or use some skype features.
My username is [Redacted for privacy.]
SOS

I managed to fix it myself by manally entering the code instead of clicking on the reset link. This way a list with all accounts that had my email was showed and I was able to select my user from the list.
My email looks like a very popular typo.

HT201455 ican not reset my Apple id password by email

hello
ican`t reset my Apple ID password by email ididin`t find any message in my inbox or junkmail

Contact Apple Support to have them reset your Security Questions:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get all sorted, check to make sure you actually do have a Rescue email address (which is not the same as an Alternate email address). Or you might want to look into 2-step Verification:

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac12,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

Password reset email being sent to an email address other than my id

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with password reset emails. I have two email addresses. Hypothetically [email protected] and [email protected] My apple ID uses the login id of [email protected] and has another account associated with it called [email protected] When I request a password reset it is sent to [email protected] I can't find out why it's sending it to this account that I don't see as being linked to my apple ID. At some point in the past I have must have had this email address, [email protected], associated with my account but don't see it anywhere. I can still access this email address and can still retrieve the emails but I will be losing this email address next year... I get all notification emails to my @home address - only the reset emails go to @work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Serialc

So an example of why this is weird if I was not clear. When I change my apple id phone numer I receive an email on [email protected], when I ask for a password reminder I receive it on [email protected]
I have tried changing my primary username/password to [email protected] and back to [email protected] to try and reset things - no change.

Forgotten iCloud password and not recieving password reset email.

Hi, I have an iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2.
My iCloud account is an Apple ID that I do not use anymore, yet I can't sign out because I don't remember the password. I also don't remember the security questions.
When I request a password reset, I'm supposed to receive an email, but I'm not finding any, in any mail box, of any of my email accounts.
Please help? I really want to sign out of the iCloud account and deactivate/delete it so I can use my current one.
Thanks. I really appreciate any help.

Greetings LeahAly,
If you are having an issue with not receiving your password reset email, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HT201303 Random Apple id password resets - how to stop this?

A couple of months ago I started getting emails from Apple titled "How to reset your Apple Id password" and then more worryingly "Your Apple Id password has been reset". This happened several times over the next few days and I know this was not done by accident from me or my family because it was happening during the night UK time. I reported to Apple support and they were no help, in fact they deactivated my account until I told them to reactivate it again!
To me it seems like someone (or some system) is triggering the password reset online when trying to access my account.
After reporting it to Apple it stopped for a couple of months - now it started again! Several random resets during the night and day when I know no-one could be doing this from one of my devices.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any good ideas how to stop it? Any way to disable email authentication on the password reset and restrict to only the personal data questions?

Hi marky_mark_uk,
Two-step verification might be a good idea for you if you're seeing a lot of password reset issues you did not initiate:
