    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 your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

    iCloud: Erase your device         

    iCloud: Use Lost Mode

    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.

    - 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

    You can use an app called find my iPhone to locate it and/or erase it remotely. This page on Apple.com should show you what you need to do. So, here is the link. You can reply if you have any questions or you can call Apple's costumer service to solve your problem too. you can reach them @ 1-800-676-2775
