The Find My iPhone feature helps you locate iPod touch if it’s been lost or misplaced, 
and display a message on your iPod touch to help someone return it to you. It includes 
Remote Wipe, which lets you erase all the information on iPod touch in case you 
don’t recover it, in order to protect your privacy. Find My iPhone requires a MobileMe 
account. MobileMe is an online service, available by subscription. Go to www.apple.
com/mobileme
 for more information.
To enable this feature, turn on Find My iPod touch in your MobileMe account settings. 
See “Setting Up Accounts” on page 12.
Find your iPod touch:  Log in to your MobileMe account at www.me.com and go  
to the Find My iPhone pane. Follow the onscreen instructions to locate your device  
on a map and display a message on its screen along with an optional sound to help 
you find it.
Remotely wipe information on your iPod touch:  Log in to your MobileMe account at 
www.me.com, then go to the Find My iPhone pane. Click “Remote Wipe…,” then follow 
the onscreen instructions.
You may also be able to remotely delete the information on iPod touch if you set 
up iPod touch using a configuration profile. See “Installing Configuration Profiles” on 
page 14. Consult your system administrator if you need to delete the information on 
your iPod touch.
Cleaning iPod touch
To clean iPod touch, unplug all cables and turn off iPod touch (press and hold the 
Sleep/ Wake button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-
free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household 
cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPod touch.
