How to find a lost and dead iPod touch

ll you can do is look for it the old fashioned way. You shuld report it to the police and change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod.

Apple will not do anything.

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.

OK, so my son lost his iPod touch 4th gen 'a while ago', and did not tell us, hoping he would find it. He did not. I was wondering if there is a way to find it. He did not have the app on his phone (iCloud I think). Also it is definately dead. Any suggestions out there??

Nothing you can do, other than look for it.

I have also lost my iPod but finally found it after a few months. I used find my iPhone and set an password just in case someone stole it. I also looked everywhere in my house and finally found it underneath the sofa. hope this helps!!!!
