Someone stole my ipod, whats can i do to make sure they dont unlock it and use it?

Some one stole my son's ipod. It is locked and I keep trying to track it but it is off. what can I do?

This is Apple's official word on the subject:
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it. Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers for items purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
There is no way around the passcode lock, but the thief would have to restore the iPod Touch to use it at all. This erases all the information on it, and it would have to be configured as a new device.

  • So what is everyone doing to make sure they dont miss the Fedex/UPS guy tomorrow?

    since i work second shift 4-12pm i sleep pretty late so im going to be sleeping on the couch close to my front door so i dont miss the guy... what is everyone else doing?

    Stumpy59. You won't be able to get it at the local office. They have to make at least 1 delivery attempt before they will hold it.
    That is unless you have friends that work for FedEX

  • My iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

    my iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

  • If someone stole your ipod touch can u get a replacement if it hasnt been found

    hi someone stole my ipod and im wondering if apple would give me a replacement ... if i dont find my old one ... its a white one ... ive had it since christmas .....  and if i do get a replacement can i get my old belongings back from my stolen one ?

    Apple does not replace stolen items, (is there a company that does replace their stolen products?) you would have to purchase a replacement. It may be covered under homeowners insurance but the deductible would probably not make it worth pursuing.

    You are not addressing Apple in this forum. We are just user like yourself.
    Apple will not hwlp locate/return you iPod.
    If yu had alreadys set up the FIndMyiPod feature you may be able to locate or wipe the iPod.  Wifi must be on.  However, that feature can easily be defeated by restoring the iPod ir just turning it off.

  • What can I do to make sure all my information (Notes Included) transfers to my new MacBook Pro when connecting for the first time?

    I am about to connecting my Iphone to my new Macbook Pro for the first time. I just want to make sure that all my information: contacts, messages, notes, everything will still be on my phone. I just dont want to connect then find out I lost everything on my phone.
    Help! I am really bad with technology...

    When you first sync with a new iTunes library iTunes will delete any iTunes media from your phone and replace it with the media in the library being synced with.  iTunes media includes things like apps, music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, custom ringtones and photos synced to your phone from a computer.  If you are also syncing your contacts and calendars with your computer it will replace the ones on your phone with those on your computer.  If your iTunes library, contacts, calendars and iPhoto are all empty, you will end up with all of these being empty on your phone.
    To preserve these you need to follow the steps in the linked article.  This will transfer purchased media from your phone to your iTunes library and transfer contacts and calendar entries to your Mac.  As discussed in the guide, it will not transfer music not purchased from the iTunes store (which can only be done using 3rd party software such as the ones discussed) or photos synced to your phone from another computer (which can be transferred to your computer using an app like PhotoSync).  These will need to done first or you will lose them, as discussed in the guide.

  • Can I buy an iPhone 5 from Verizon, unlock it, and use it with AT

    I have an android phone on AT&amp;T currently, and I am looking to switch to an iPhone 5. My wife has a non-smartphone, and she does not want to switch to another phone. However, if we move to Verizon, she will HAVE to switch to another phone. So my question is this: Can I get a CDMA iPhone 5, and use it on AT&amp;T? I don't need LTE, 3G is fine, and I don't need a hotspot. Price is not an issue, but I want it fast, and I don't want to have to do any hacking/jail breaking/illegal stuff. Would I just buy an iPhone 5 CDMA without a plan from an apple store and then sign it up for a plan on AT&amp;T?

    Just use your existing upgrade (if you are eligible) and get the device through AT&T.
    Even if your wife's line is eligible for an upgrade, you can use that without affecting her service.
    Or as suggested, buy the unlocked version.
    The Verizon phone will be locked to Verizon.. there would be no reason to buy it at full retail which would require a Verizon contract with the intent of using it on AT&T.

  • Someone stole my iPod, how can I tell if they connected it to itunes and restored it?

    I need to know how to track whether they've restored it to make it their own or not..

    No. All you have to do is place the iPod in recovery mode (erases the iPod) and restore via iTunes.

  • Someone stole my iPod Nano, can they use it on their computer?

  • HT3702 How do I get details of what charges were for to make sure they are mine?

    There are many charges on my latest credit card bill for iTunes NZ Cork IRL for 07 September, 09 September , 15 September , 18th September, 19 &amp; 20 September, 24 25 &amp; 26 September.
    How donI find out what these were for?

    If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list). I'm not sure if auto-renewing subscriptions show on there. If you can't find the charge or don't recognise it then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
