Stolen iPod Touch Question
Can you somehow recover a stolen iPod Touch for which I have a serial number but did not activate Mobile Me? I read somewhere that you can be notified by Apple when someone connects your stolen iPod to iTunes and that this is because the serial number is tied to your iPod.

No, I'm afraid you are out of luck. What you heard is not true. The most you can do at this point is report the incident to the police and hope for the best. Also make sure to change the passwords for any accounts you may have set up or used on it.
Sorry.

what are things to do (step by step if necessary) to retrieve a stolen ipod touch? ios is 5.1 - 5.1.1 not sure what it is. if you have questions regarding it or other information you need please feel free to ask.. i really need to 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 a bank or any other 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. -

how do u track an ipod touch when its connected to a wifi and how do u find out when its your stolen ipod touch is connected
If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing - the app is for tracking an iOS device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, 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 you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).

How do I get the airport mac address of my stolen iPod Touch. I have the SS #.
Two things:
- It may be in your router's history/logs.
- Apple may be able to give it to you. I looked at my paperwork for my 4G iPod and it is not listed, -

Hi, I'm new in here, I'm from Italy.
I know there are no possiblities for me to find my now-probably-stolen iPod touch 4, but I'd like to try it all to trace it. Is there a method or something to know WHERE my Apple device can be, now? I've tried "Find my iPod" yet, so I mean a more effective method, even if I'd have to bother the police or whoever.. Because it's astonishing and disheartening that in an era when every possible thing is made by machines and computers, a person cannot find an instrument to be given back his/her ill-gotten gains.
Sorry, but I can calm down.
I thank in advance everyone who'll try to answer.No

Can someone find my stolen iPod Touch for me?
I bought my last iPod Touch at the Bakersfield, California Valley Plaza Mall Target store, but a thief stole it from me at the Bakersfield, California Truxtun-and-S Kern County Beale Memorial Public Library when I, while walking around the second floor for some exercise, had kept it on one of the patron second-floor desks still attached to my Motion Computing Tablet PC during downloading an OS update. The last post I had added to that same iPod Touch was a video of the use of a Spencer ******** sleeve with some lubrication they don't sell in their store. Yet, that video got stuck in transit in a holding cell while a new iOS update began. If that thief ever turns on my iPod Touch, my PC will notify me of that pod's whereabouts immediately. Why did that iOS update occur right at that moment when that same ******** video was to be either accepted or rejected as too obscene? My face is not in the video, which, in spite of its sexual content, might actually be educational and perhaps also business savvy. I made and posted the video because I wanted to convey my need for a real person to make love to, certainly not an object at all. The ******** sleeve makes my ***** look ridiculously like Alice in Wonderland dressed in her rings as depicted in some of the original illustrations in that fictional title's original book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Why did those spies get really calm and quiet all of a sudden?! Can someone please find my stolen iPod Touch for me? If that thief turns that pod on, I might get that Target refund card, which I might use to buy another iPod Touch because I love its Photoshop Express' photo-editing and graphic-design features. If I ever get another iPod Touch, however, I won't take it to the library or the bus stop, where I won't stand around using the Internet. Instead, I'll just use it as a second camera and photo-editing tool.
No one can find it for you. If you did not set up Find My Phone, then it cannot be found.

is there any way to track a stolen ipod touch????? police are no help
You can use FInd My iPhone but only if it was installed on your ipod before the robbery.Apart from that, nothing more that you can do to track it.
I recommend thought changing your email password if you have an active email on the iPod as a security prevention. -

Is there a way to disable a stolen iPod Touch 4G using the serial number?
No. The serial number is not useful for anything other than filing a police report.
To disable the iPod, go to http://www.iCloud.com/, log in with your Apple ID, and click the big green icon. You must have previously enabled Find my iPod in Settings > General and the thief must not have already restored the iPod. -
