How to find your lost iPhone, iPad or iPod

The moment you find out that your phone or tablet has been lost or stolen, you’ll notice a slow, sinking feeling. That’s because there’s not much you can do about it. The police will wash their hands off the matter, and recovery rates for mobile devices and laptops are abysmal. The thing to do then, is to take matters into your own hands – which is really easy if you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (4th generation version only).

Obviously, you need to do this simple step while you still have your device, so get cracking! First, make sure your device is running the latest software by connecting it to iTunes and checking for an update.
