Find My iPod touch
Find My iPod touch can help you locate and secure your iPod touch using the free Find My
iPhone app (available in the App Store) on another iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, or using a Mac or
PC web browser signed in to www.icloud.com/nd. Find My iPod touch includes Activation Lock,
which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPod touch if you ever lose it. Your
Apple ID and password are required to turn o Find My iPod touch, or to erase and reactivate
your iPod touch.
Turn on Find My iPod touch. Go to Settings > iCloud > Find My iPod touch.
Important: To use these features, Find My iPod touch must be turned on before your iPod touch
is lost. iPod touch must be able to connect to the Internet for you to locate and secure the
device. iPod touch sends its last location prior to the battery running out when Send Last
Location in Settings is turned on.
Use Find My iPhone. Open the Find My iPhone app on an iOS device, or go to
www.icloud.com/nd on your computer. Sign in, then select your device.
•
Play Sound: Play a sound at full volume for two minutes, even if the ringer is set to silent.
•
Lost Mode: Immediately lock your missing iPod touch with a passcode and send it a message
displaying a contact number. iPod touch also tracks and reports its location, so you can see
where it’s been when you check the Find My iPhone app.
•
Erase iPod touch: Protect your privacy by erasing all the information and media on your
iPod touch and restoring it to its original factory settings.
Note: Before selling or giving away your iPod touch, you should erase it completely to remove all
your personal data, and turn o Find My iPod touch to ensure the next owner can activate and
use the device normally. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. See
Sell or give away iPod touch on page 160.
Charge and monitor the battery
iPod touch has an internal, lithium-ion rechargeable battery. For more information about the
battery—including tips for maximizing battery life—see www.apple.com/batteries/.
WARNING: For important safety information about the battery and charging iPod touch, see
Important safety information on page 153.
Charge the battery. Connect iPod touch to your computer using the included cable. You can
sync iPod touch with iTunes at the same time. It may take longer to charge, however, if you sync
or use iPod touch while it is charging.
Unless your keyboard has a high-power USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a
USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer.
