What should I do if my itouch was stolen?

I just lost my itouch last night and by now, it could have very well been stolen. I did set up a password to get into my ipod, but I know it's super easy to unlock it via Itunes. My question is: is there any way I can deactivate my itouch to keep anyone from accessing my information? I did not have an Icloud and so I wonder, is that the only way I could have done it?

If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
Contact your carrier. They may be able to block further use of the phone. No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

What should i do if my ipod was stolen?

My IPod was stolen about a month ago. I reported it and have been looking for it but i have had no luck. I don't know what else i need to do. Would Apple replace it?

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

Here's a summary of what you can do: 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 that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
If you have already configured the MobileMe Find My iPhone service on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use it to locate your missing device, display a message on its screen, make it play a sound at full volume (even if on mute), remotely lock it, or remotely wipe (erase) it to protect your privacy.

My daughters itouch was stolen today...is there any actions i can or should be taking so that all the pictures and videos she has taken can be deleted?

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.

If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

It can still connect to Wifi in Lost Mode. As long as you do not erase it, you will be able to track it via Find My iPhone. And even if you erase it, the Activation Lock will prevent the thief from ever being able to use it:
ACTIVATION LOCK
Hope you get it back!

HT1689 My iTouch was stolen/lost, is there a way that I can track it by serial number?

My iTouch was stolen/lost, is there a way that I can track it by serial number? Will Apple let someone register my iTouch when it's already registered?

My itouch was stolen what now?

so i lent the itouch to my son and it was stolen? how can i wipe the data base from home computer?

IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself and it is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored then you can go to icloud.com and wipe it/loacte it.
Otherwise, there is nothing you can do beyond reporting to police and changin your passwords.

HT5787 What do I do if my iPod was stolen and I checked my support profile and when I entered the serial # I got a message saying it has been registered to another Apple ID? Is there a way to find out that Apple ID so that we can locate the iPod?

What should I do if my iPod has been stolen and when I checked my support profile and entered my serial # and I received a message that the serial # had been registered to another Apple ID account? Is there a way to find out the Apple ID that it was registered to? I have already checked find my iPod and it shows my iPod is offline. I have already filed a police report.

No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.

What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
Appreciate your cooperation

Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

What should i do if my ipod is stolen

uhm so i hear if we go to apple and something is broken or stolen i guess you get a free new one for your first time... but i am a cheerleader and i had a game in cuyahoga falls 2 days ago and my ipod dissappeared i looked all around for it but id just dont know what to do and the basketball players helped me search i just got this ipod for christmas and i havent exactly told my mom i lost it what should i do or how can you help me and i dont have the tracking ap either

Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Apple will not help find it. Sorry.
Your statement:
"so i hear if we go to apple and something is broken or stolen i guess you get a free new one for your first time" is false.

My itouch was stolen and I had brought all my music on it. How do I get that back?

I had downloaded all my music from the istore on my itouch but it was stolen. I really want to get that music back. Why cant I access that music on another device with my apple id?

The music will only be where you put it. If you failed to transfer it to your computer, and back it up, then it is gone.
UNLESS, you are in the U.S. Then you can use the newly released beta version of icloud to retrieve them.
Open the itunes store and click Purchased under Quick Links.

My Itouch was stolen and I am wanting to know if there is any way of tracing it

My i touch was stolen and I am wanting to know if there is anyway of tracing it should someone try to use it...??

Only if you had ALREADY set up the FindMyiPhone feature, wifi is on and some other conditions are met. Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Also see:
