Can a ipod be found just by it's serial num. ?

My grandson had his ipod stolen before it was setup on our cloud. Is there any way to trace it by serial number alone ?

Nope.
No way to track it at all.
Sorry
Report it to the police and change the passwords

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update. I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes. What should I do?

I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night. I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync. It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back. I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do. Can someone help?

Do you have an iCloud backup? If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup. However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
1. I wiped it
2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
3. It registered
4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

My ipod classic 160gb just stay on, I can't turn it off.

My ipod classic 160gb just stay on, I can't do any operation on it, can't turn it of. I can't connect it to my computer. Also I tried to switch the lock button, then pressed the center button and menu button together, to restart it, but didn't work. IT JUST STAY ON!

You need to press and hold down the Center and Menu buttons at the same time, until the Apple logo appears.

Sounds like you have multiple Apple IDs, which causes a myriad of issues. Go here to straighten it out. Be forewarned that it's a pain.

IPod touch 3g not booting, can't DFU, not charging, just nothing today

I can't believe my ipod touch 3g just broke today. It was my friend when I'm on my way to coolege, my friend when walking alone at the mall. I know that model is already old but buying a new one is not an option, and bringing to an apple center is not an option because we dont have one around here our place, we have greedy cheaters technician in our place and I don't trust them because thinking they will steal the parts of my ipod. I will tell exactly what happened so good people can accurately help me.
So this is what happened, as you see my ipod touch 3g is jailbreak (dont shou't at me it's legal you see) and today I just installed the veency, because my speaker is at my room while my desktop is at the living room which has no speaker. I want to control my ipod touch 3g via remote desktop(VNC) so I don't have to walk to my room all the time to skip a song I don't like. Now the battery of my ipod touch was below 20%, and in the VNC application in my desktop I was configuring stuffs the color quality, recommended quality etc. I put them to low quality so I can control my ipod faster with less lag. While playing songs, the ipod's music stop, me thinking its low bat. I picked it up then realizing it was kinda hot, not hot enough to burn my skin though, but still its not normal. I plug it to my computer to charge it, but nothing is happening, plain blank and empty no logo or charging sign. I tried putting it DFU mode but nothing, my itunes also doesn't detect it anymore. I'd put it in front of the AC to cool it down because it was hot and it took a bit of time to cool it down. I retried charging it but still nothing.
I know ipod touch 3g is already outdated, but I believe it still can be fix, thinking maybe the battery is dead, or maybe shortage or stuff. Currenly my ipod touch 3g is plug to my computer with no sign of life. Guys any idea? Going to the technicians is my plan Z. Help me fix it.

Jailbreaking can have unintended consequences. Also, we can't hel with jailbroken iPods since it is against the terms of this forum and even Apple will not help with jailbroken devices. Sorry.
Yes, it is not illegal to jailbreak.

Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Resetting:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPOd via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem

How can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

how can i track down a stolen ipod touch with just my serial number

You can't. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered.
- 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 the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- 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 without a court order

I have an ipod classic and just had to replace my old laptop. When purchasing tunes, while they show up on my laptop they no longer sync to my ipod. can anyone help?

I have an ipod classic and just had to replace my laptop. When I purchase music, while it downloads to my laptop, it no longer syncs to my ipod. Any ideas?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Can Multiple ipods use the same computer/itunes program

I recently purchased two ipods for different family members. Can both be used on the same computer. I seem to remember seeing a blurb in the user agreement for itunes that said the program was only for one ipod. Can anyone elaborate?

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
Multiple Libraries
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
*Separate User Accounts*
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create A New User Account In Vista
