So I lost my 4th gen iPod Touch yesterday, and when I tried using Find my iPhone, it said it was "offline," which is strange because it has to be in my house (where there's wifi). The battery was near fully charged when I lost it. I tried spamming it via iMessage but couldn't hear it at all. Any ideas on how to find it?
lost/stolen
No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse. Backtrace your movements since you last had the iPod
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
