Blocking an ipod
I had my ipod stolen last night and was wondering if there is any way I can block it so it is of no use to anybody else.I know that when I connect it to my mac and open itunes it only syncs music from the playlist I have preselected.Does this mean whoever has it now can't put any music on it or am I just hoping?Also is there any way I can find the ipods details such as serial number from my mac?Thanks for any help given by you at this time I just want to stop the bastards using it or if they sell it on for it to be no use to anyone.

Unfortunately not. As far as I know, you can't 'block' an i-pod.
The £$%£$% that stole your i-pod can re-set it and then put their own tunes on it or even use 3rd party software to upload your tunes from your i-pod to their PC/Mac if they want.

Weirdly enough, it's been announced that Apple have just applied for a patent on anti-theft technology for future iPods - just a bit too late for you, Andy. Link
