My Ipod was stolen and now I wanna find my serial number in Itunes on Vista

I didn't register it on apple.com and I can't find the receipt or the box. Can I find it in Itunes somewhere? I always connected it to my computer so it must be there somewhere. This question had been asked in 2007 but what it says there doesn't work (anymore)...

If you are trying to use the serial number to track the iPod, that won't work. The only means of tracking is through the Find my iPod service on http://icloud.com.

    Hi,
    If you have made a backup at any time of your iPod in iTunes, it should be in Preferences, under Devices tab.
    In iTunes
    Open iTunes Preferences.
    From the Preferences window click on the Devices.
    Once you are there you should see a list under "Device Backups:".
    Hover your mouse pointer to the device and in a little while it should display the serial number of the device (with an iPhone it will also display a phone number used with it and the IMEI code and with an iPad it will display the IMEI in addition to the serial number).

  • My iPhone 4 was stolen and I need to get its serial number

    So my iPhone 4 was stolen and I need to get the serial number off of it to help find it. I looked online and an article (this one to be exact: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) told me to go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and then select my device and it would tell me the serial number. However, when I got to the devices menu, my iPhone didn't show up, but my dad's did. Any idea on how to get it to show up or an alternate way to get the serial number (I don't have the box or the phone)?

    Yours was stolen, it will not show up in iTunes. There is no way to get your serial number unless you registered it with Apple: Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases.
    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • My iPod was stolen and now I can't access my iTunes account

    My iPod was stolen and within half an hour my iTunes account was locked from an attempted hack.
    I reset all the passwords and have since gotten a new iPod but anytime I try to login to my account everything freezes. I can access it online and on this forum, obviously, but my laptop running windows7 freezes instantly and my desktop computer running windows XP freezes as soon as I try to go to the store.
    How do I fix this? It happens on both the computers I had authorized for that iPod and I'm not sure what to do.
    Do I need to delete my account and start over? If so how would I do that? I've been told it is extremely difficult and usually results in the loss of use of iTunes on any computers you had authorized before.
    At this point I don't even care about the money I'll lose on my old account I just want my music back.

  • My Ipod Was Stolen, and now it won't restore!

    Dear whoever gets this desperate post,
    My ipod was stolen about 1 month ago. By some strange strokes of luck, I got it back from the police today. I am trying to restore it, thereby subsequently re-loading my songs on it. But I am stuck. I plug it in, it eventually notices it's there it gives this message:
    iTunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with iTunes.
    Seemed natural enough, given what I was told about the dimwitted thieves. So I hit "restore." I wait for it, quickly getting the message that it has been restored, and I should wait until it restarts, then load the music on it. But it doesn't. I wait a minute or so, and it comes up with msg #1 (^ see above). I tried the instructions offered in the sticky topic at the top of the menu page, but even with the drive changed to I (I checked, it still is), nothing is improving. Help!

    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • My ipod was stolen and i need to fin the serial code. how do i do that?

    my ipod was stolen by some kid and i want to track it. and i need my serial code. how can i find it

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    - iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
    The SN will only identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.

  • My ipod was stolen and dont have serial number

    My ipod nano 5th generation was stolen and i can't find the serial number. i looked under itunes>preferences>devices and then device backup but i couldn't find any item in the device backup?
    please help!!!

    Thanks i saw that but after i click on the other link "report a lost or stolen apple product" it say....
    If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it. Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Go to My Support Profile*.
    Sign in with your Apple ID.
    View your purchases in "My Products".
    and so i do that but then i go to the 3rd step "View your purchases in "My Products"."   i cant find any??

  • My MacPro was stolen.  How can I retrieve the serial number?

    My 3.5 yr Macbook Pro was stolen and I didn't record the serial number.  I need it for the police.  Who can I contact at Apple to see if they have my number?  I financed the computer through Apple.
    Is there some kind of internal tracking device in the MacPro that can lead me (the police) to finding it?  I did not install any tracking device on it, but didn't know if it came with one already built in- like the Iphones have.
    Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
    I'm Desperate and am sick that I didn't record it in advance.
    Thanks for your help.
    Sue

    If you registered your computer with Apple & setup a support profile, you can login & retrieve your SN there. If you didn't do such, you can try calling AppleCare.
    If you didn't setup Find My Mac or similar before your computer was stolen, there is no way to track it. Change all of your passwords, report the loss to the police & your insurance company.

  • My computer died and my ipod was stolen.  Now I have an iphone 4 and want to access my library.  How do I get it?

    My computer died and my ipod was stolen.  Now I have an iphone 4 and want to get to my library.  Any ideas?

    It will only be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion..
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can redownload some purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
