What To Do If Your Mac Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.
       Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find
       My Phone on your iDevice.

Can Apple locate my lost Ipod touch?

I lost my Ipod touch about a year ago but I know it has to be in one of three places. I recently heard that Apple was about to locate their products and I would just like to know if that is true and how much it is.

there is a locator app for under IOS 5 but it has to be turned on and connected to wifi
in IOS 5 preinstalled locator called Find Me to show you where you are at and also be trace via iCloud.com
that is only possible if the intrudder has it to IOS 5 and has the locator Find Me turned on but I seriosly likely he'll prbobably have it off but you will never know till you try it
just maybe, just maybe, the intruder that stoled it from you has updated to IOS 5 and turn Find Me on, and was connected to wifi, just maybe you can locate it where it is and print screne it where it was located and paste it to windows Paint and print it out and show it to the Apple people and the cops, they could probably help you there. (btw you wanna show the name of the road and the area where its somehwhat exact location so this person can be charged. or watevr)

- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

Can I locate my lost ipod touch with the Serial Number?

Can I locate my lost ipod touch with the Serial Number?

No.
Serial numbers are meaningless when it comes to tracking. The ONLY means of tracking is Find my iPod. If you didn't have it, then you can't track it.

Can apple locate a lost or stolen iphone

Can apple locate a lost or stolen iphone4 ? My son thinks he left it at a local store yesterday and of course when he went back no one knew anything about it. He did not have the "find my iphone" app installed and also did not use icloud. So we're wondering if their any options open at this point or do we just move forward with an insurance claim and be done with it.
Thanks, rgares!

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

How can I locate my lost iPod Touch if my location was off and user ID was changed?

I lost 3 Apple devices during house break in. How can I locate my lost Apple devices if my location was turn off,
without "Find My Phone" apps and user ID was changed. The 3 devices are iPod Touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs.
I had made a Police Report and was told that I can request to get information to track my devices upon WIFI or
internet connection. I hope "APPLE" team will help me to track my devices with IP locations, GPS, built in compass,
or quickly send directions, updated informations and mobile data to find out and coordinates them.
Given point will also help the police to capture them.
Awaiting your reply.
Thank you. Rgd,

There is no Apple here, just users like you and me. Apple does not provide nor have that information, as far as I know, but if police needs that information, they have a legal way of contacting Apple. If I were you I would avoid trusting Internet forum, assessable by anyone with your personal information.

Can apple track a lost ipod touch

I lost my iPod Touch a month ago and after turniny ny house upside down i can only asume it was stolen. can apple help me?

Sorry but no. Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report it to the police in case someone turns it in. Also see:
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
If you had the FindMyiPhone feature ALREADY set up and wifi was on and some other conditions were met you could make the iPod make a sound an roughly locate the iPod. However, if lost, the battery would be fully drained by now.

HT201342 Can icloud locate my lost ipod?

Can I use icloud to find my lost ipod touch 4th generation. It had a "find my ipod" app on it, but when I went on my computer to find it , all it tells me my ipod is offline. Is there any other way to find it?

Having the "Find my iPod" app installed does nothing. The "Find my ... " service needs to be setup and activated in the iCloud Settings on the device.
Also, for it to work, the device needs to be powered up, and have an internet connection. As the iPod does not have GPS or a cellular connection, any location gained will only be vague as it relies on the known location of nearby WiFi networks.

Can I locate a lost iPod touch?

I thought there might be a way to identify the location by using the WiFi zone or GPS internal to the iPod touch. Anyone know if this is possible? And if it is, HOW?
Thanks,

How can I locate my lost iPod touch within my WiFi network range?!

I am still using my 1st gen iPod touch from 2008 for apps and music and other uses. I rely on it quite a bit although of course I have a separate cell phone for now (will eventually get an iPhone). However, I synced it with iTunes right before going on a long shopping spree Thursday afternoon then hooked it to my car's stereo system to listen to as I often do. Upon returning home, tired and with multiple bags, I was trying to juggle them all on several trips from my car to front door (about 30 ft.). The iPod touch always picks up my WiFi network in my car as soon as I pull in, and with my hands full on my last trip I realized I'd forgotten to disconnect my iPod touch so I could bring it in too. I'll admit I was getting bogged down and annoyed so I disconnected it then remember also dropping some bags and picking them up from the parking space. An hour later, after finally getting most bags and myself at least somewhat settled, I remembered I hadn't reconnected my iPod touch to its JBL docking system. I soon realized I couldn't find it in the house and went with a flashlight to look in the car and outside between the house and car. I searched for hours in all likely places and again the next day. I also thought about an hour after losing it to check AirPort Utility's advanced pane which includes the logs, wireless clients and DHCP clients. Sure enough it was still picking the device up, every 30 minutes or so periodically showing "binding added" and "binded dropped" for my iPod's IP address via NAT, and also "associated with" and "disassociated with" the iPod's unique MAC address.
My worst fear was that I dropped it outside and someone dishonest took it, but that seems unlikely because I really don't have those kinds of neighbors and I searched immediately for it everywhere it could be (in my car, under it, outside everywhere I walked, in the house in the oddest places like under furniture, in discarded shopping bags, the trash can and even the freezer! Sure enough, for 13 hours AirPort Utility showed activity contacting (or detecting) the device as mentioned above, until about 9:30 the next morning. Since then there has been no log activity detected, and the device itself listed with MAC address has also disappeared under the "DHCP Clients" pane of AirPort Utility. I realize this could simply be the battery dying after all this time (although it should be in sleep mode), but the point is it was close by for all that time even after I'd searched for it, so it is unlikely someone found it easily after I searched everywhere I'd been in the short distance from parked car to home. It also has a black rubber "suit" so the entire thin 8GB device is thin and completely black all over, further disguising it, especially at night.
My question is that since this is not an iPhone and I cannot "call it" to find it, and it is only a 1st gen. iPod touch without a built-in speaker to make loud noises unless hooked to headphones or a line output, how can I find it? It does make the tiny super high-pitched digital beeps when I get a "push" notification but I don't see how that does me any good unless someone from an app I use tries to contact me while I'm in extremely close proximity to hear those faint tones. Anyway, I really do need it and it's driving me crazy knowing it is within such a short range from me either inside my house or car (or outside in a short straight path from car to my doorstep) yet I am helpless. Is there anything anyone can suggest? It's almost worst than knowing I lost it anywhere, because I know it's here, but want to find it soon before someone else does (if outside) or the trash gets thrown out (if it fell in there) or it gets run over if on the street somewhere I missed.

There is no way to automatcally locate it.
Since WiFi does not travel far talk to your neighbors. Perhaps one of them (or their children) found your iPod.
If this does not work make a more thorough search of your house to find it.

Can apple track a lost ipod?

I recently lost my ipod nano ;(

Does anyone know why apple and gadget manufacturers that have unique serial numbers for their devices, cannot tract these devices? I have lost several apple products, and I can't understand why this is difficult to do.
I registered my ipod. It got stolen. For the person to use the ipod, they have to connect it and register it. If I have reported the ipod as stolen to apple, shouldn't it be as easy as just reporting the information about the perpetrator once they reconnect the product? There's gotta be other reason why apple does not help the consumers with this problem...I think this is my last apple product as they attract too many thieves and apple seem conflicted in helping us find it. I guess it's good business to lose an expensive gadget and then go buy another one.

Can Apple locate a dead iPod touch?
