To increase iPod touch security, turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode
with a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters. See
“Passcode Lock” on page 160.
Important: On an iPod touch 3rd generation that didn’t ship with iOS 4 or later, you
must also restore iOS software to enable data protection. See “Restoring iPod touch” on
page 217.
Find My iPod touch
Find My iPod touch helps you locate and secure your iPod touch using the free
Find My iPhone app on another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or using a Mac or PC
with a web browser. Find My iPod touch includes:
 Locate on a map: View the approximate location of your iPod touch on a
full-screen map
 Display a Message or Play a Sound: Lets you compose a message that will appear
on your iPod touch screen, or play a sound at full volume for two minutes, even if
the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent
 Remote Passcode Lock: Lets you remotely lock your iPod touch and create a 4-digit
passcode, if you haven’t set one previously
 Remote Wipe: Lets you protect your privacy by erasing all media and data on
iPod touch, restoring it to factory settings
Use Find My iPod touch: You need to turn on Find My iPod touch on iPod touch
before you can use these features. See “Setting Up MobileMe Accounts” on page 20.
To locate your missing iPod touch and use the other Find My iPod touch features,
download the free Find My iPhone app from the App Store on another iOS device, or
sign in to me.com in a web browser on a Mac or PC.
Find My iPod touch uses Wi-Fi to locate your iPod touch. If Wi-Fi is turned off, or if your
iPod touch isn’t connected to a Wi-Fi network, Find My iPod touch can’t find it.
Note: Find My iPod touch requires a MobileMe account. MobileMe is Apple’s online
service, which provides Find My iPod touch for free to iPod touch 4th generation
customers, and additional features with a paid subscription. MobileMe may not be
available in all countries or regions. For more information, see “Setting Up MobileMe
Accounts” on page 20, or go to www.apple.com/mobileme.
