Is there a way to track a lost ipod with the serial number?

Here are the Find my iPod instructions.   iCloud - Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
Apple do not have any form of service to find lost products.   But if it is lost, you can make a claim to your household insurance company or if it is stolen, report it to the police and send the report details to your insurance company.

  • Is there a way to find a stolen ipod with the serial number?

    a few days ago my ipod touch 4th gen was stolen and i was wondering if there was a way to track it using the serial number?

    "yeah but there is still a way that you may track a phone"
    Yes.  GPS and Cell tower triangulation.  They also appeared in front of congress to answer for doing this.  And they will NOT track a lost iphone either.
    " i dont see why they cannot use the same thing to find an ipod "
    They will not track a lost iphone either, for the same reason.
    "hey could use the wifi to track the serial number"
    No they cannot for the reason provided.  Privacy law violations among other things.
    You could have used the find my ipod app to do this.  Apple cannot, just as no other manufacturer of devices will do it.
    Sorry.

    You can't. The SN will only identify the iPod when if it is recovered.

  • Can you call apple to track a missing ipod with the serial number?

    i lost my ipod or soeone must have stolen it..i did not have any tracking devices or gps apps on it...can apple track it through the serial number?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Is there a way to track a lost iPod touch?

    I recently lost my iPod touch.  Is there a way of tracking it down?

    I have a feeling that I did not lose it at home, so it would not have an internet connection, so it would not help me.  If I change my Apple ID passwords here, will that at least lock it out of my account so that someone cannot access it?

  • Good day. can i track my lost 4s using the serial number, cause i have activated the i cloud and still no suceess...

    Lost my Iphone 4 s. i tried tracking it with i cloud to no success, and i use the serial number to track it?

    No, you can not. In order your phone to be tracked via iCloud it has to be connected to Internet (Data ir WiFi). You may check box "notify me when found" to be alerted when it gets online.

  • How do I track my ipod with the serial number? Is that possible?

  • Can i track down an ipod with a serial number

    i have an ipod 5 without a back camera, i think its 16 gb and i lost it, is there a way to find it without using icloud, can i use my serial number or chat with an apple representative? i do have the original box it came in

    Hey iv123, Apple will not help, and having the serial number will help you ID your iPod should someone turn it in to a lost and found or the police, but that's about it. As Alan has stated you will need to go physically look for it. Good luck. Also, if you haven't already done so, report it lost / stolen to the police, they will do little, but if someone turns it in you may get a call. You should check with lost and founds also if lost in a public area. If you set up an iCloud account you can disable the iPod so if a thief attempts to use your iPod on line, it be wiped. Also, you should disconnect from this iPod, change all passwords / account information associated with this iPod to limit a thief's access to your information. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • Can i track my i pod with the serial number??

    Someone stole my I pod off a church bus can you please give me some ways to track it down!!

    No. The serial number only helps identify you as the owner in case the device is found or the police recover it. Report the theft to the police. Then say a prayer.

  • How to find lost iPod with only serial number

    I let my friend use my iPod and she Lost it.I only have the serial number

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.

    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • I lost my iPhone 5 and iCloud or find my iPhone isn't on is there any way I can track my iPhone with the serial number or is there any other way ? iCloud or Find My iPhone wasn't installed or on please help

    I lost my Black iPhone 5, 2 days ago. Someone stole it. Find my iPhone app wasn't installed, it's not on. Is there any way I can turn on "Find my IPhone" on my phone from my computer or can I track it with the serial number ? Please help.

    I guess no but they can't use it because most likely they restored it and the name of your find my iphone will disappear on your computer even if it is on because it does not have your name anymore.

  • Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?

    Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?
    Example: Student downloads a PDF from school portal -- Teacher can track who downloaded PDF, when and how many pages were view (where student stopped)? Similar to Flexpaper?

    The only other way I can come up with at the moment is by submitting the data via a URL to your server... The user will still have to allow the URL to be opened, though.
