Hi, my mom took my iPod Touch, so I know its somewhere in my house. My house has WiFi and my iPod Touch is connected to it, but when I used iCloud to try and locate my iPod, it said it was offline. The thing is I used "Locate my device" within 24 hours. Now my iPod is not even considered as a device on iCloud. I need help finding it I have stuff on it. Its like my phone.

You cannot locate an offline device except the old-fashioned way: look for it.
This dosen't help me at all. I need to find it.
Two options:
'- Look for it
- Ask your mom.
what about if sombody stole an ipod and it saids that how do i find it
If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, 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).
Regards.
Find my ipod would not help you locate from within your house anyway.
It is not that accurate. It can give you an approximate street address, which you already know.
I tried both. My mom is is being difficult. She hid it somewhere.
My mom hid it before and I used "Find My Ipod" and it worked, but when she took it this time, it didn't work it said it was offline. I even used my TextPlus number to find it, but it said the number was unavailable. I think this means that the Ipod is away from WiFi. iCloud said that my Ipod was not connected to icloud even though I always check if it is.
P.S. My Ipod is locked. and my mom has it, so she won't take credit card information.
I used Find My Ipod before, it worked before and now it dosen't work.
yes it would
I've tried before and it told me that my Ipod was in my house because it gave me my address. Any suggestions?
If the iPod is turned off, it can't be located, period. And even if it was turned on, it would only show the location of your home WiFi router, not the location of the iPod in your house, so Find My iPod would not help you find the iPod within your own home.
There's nothing any one here can do to help further. This is something you need to work out with your mother.
Regards.
No suggestions are possible. See my last reply above.
Thank you, but that's not the problem because I know that my Ipod is not turned off and I know that my mom didn't turn off the Ipod because she doesn't know how to use it. Its been more than a week and I still can't find it.
Thanks anyways.
If it's been a week or more, the battery has probably run out and shut the iPod off. And for the last time, even if it were working, Find My iPod would not - it cannot - show you where in the house your iPod is.
Again, if your mother has taken away your iPod, you need to work this out with her.
