My Macbook pro was stolen today-  I need the serial number

Can this be retrieved by way of iCloud or Time Capsule? AppleCare doesn't CARE at all! Please Help. The Sheriff's Dept can't do anything without the serial number as well. *****!

Where did you buy it?
If you know that and/or have a receipt (or can ask for a copy), they usually list the serial number on the purchase receipt (at least at the third party Mac store I've done buiness at). Or, did you register it at the Apple website - you should be able to look it up there. Or, do you have the box it came in - serial number is on the lable.

    my ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work or the box, so how do i get the serial number?

    If you registered it, Apple can help you.  Give them a call.
    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.  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.

    What To Do If Your iDevice 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 it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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 i need the serial number to denounce, but i dont have anything how i can get the number?

    If your iPod was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
    iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
    If you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.

  • My ipad was stolen however i have the serial number...is there any way i can see if someone is using it?

    My ipad was stolen but I have the serial number.
    How can I track it and how can I register my new one?

    If they haven't already wiped it and started over, and you activated Find my iPhone on your iPad, you might be able to track it.  If you did not activate Find my iPhone, you will not be able to track it.  Apple will not help you.  But, you should immediately go and change your Apple ID password, and any other passwords you use for accounts like Twitter, Facebood, Mail, Apps you make purchases with, like the Starbucks Mobile App, etc. 

  • I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I have the serial number so is there any way Apple/iCoud can help trace it when the thief logs into Apple's website /store etc? Thanks

    I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I know the serial number so is there any hope the thief can be tracked when he or she logs in to the Apple store etc? thanks

    iOS devices cannnot be tracked or located with just the serial number. Unless you shared your Apple ID and password with anyone, then your account cannot be accessed at the iTunes Store.

  • HT5824 My iPad has been stolen. I need the serial number to report it to the authorities. I dont have the box it came in or the receipt and its not on my itunes on the computer because I didnt use it or music, just pictures. Can someone please help???

    My iPad has been stolen. Someone broke into my house on Tuesday. I have already tried locking it through icloud.  I have reported this to the authorities but they cannot do much unless I give them the serial number to the iPad. With the serial number they can put it into a database and send that inormation to pawn shops, so i the theie tries to pawn it, the pawn shop employeee can convscate the iPad and hand it over to the authorites. I need the serial number to report it to the authorities. I dont have the box it came in or the receipt and its not on my itunes on the computer because I didnt use it or music, just pictures. Can someone please help??? btw, some words are misspelled becasue the letter that comes ater the letter E, doesnt work on my keybord.
    Thanks

  • If my ipod was stolen and I have the serial number, can I find out what itunes library it is synched with?

    I just came a across the serial number of my ipod that was stolen at the end of last year and am hoping to figure out what itunes account it is synched to now (or if I can for that matter). Any advice helps!

    No, you can't get any  such information from a serial number.

  • HT1689 My I pod was stolen and I have the serial number can I somehow trace it?

    My kid had his I touch stolen Can I traceit somehow if I have the serial number and his password?

    The serial number alone is not useful for Find My iPhone / iPod. It is useful to establish ownership, should you recover the iPod.
    You would have had to enable "Find My iPod" in Settings > General.

  • OK - my iPod is stolen and I need the serial number

    I posted earlier how I had lost my iPod touch ( it was actually taken from where I had misplaced it....BESIDE A CHURCH)
    Anyways, I have called the police but they want my device's serial number. Is this stored anywhere in iColud, the iTunes store or iTunes itself?
    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number.
    Hope the police can find your iPod, though as I'm sure you know, the chances are slim. Good luck.
    Regards.
