HT4759 Can I find my device by serial number?

Is there a way to locate a device by the serial number? I got a friend who's iPad air got stolen and trying to locate it. It's registered but never got added to find my iPhone app. So trying to find another way on locating the device. Any input or advice would be much help, thank you

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Can you contact the owner with serial number

Hi!
I found an ipad yesterday on the road (screen broken) and it is reset.
It is locked with the activation lock.
I wonder if apple can inform the owner of the device (can be tracked by serial number) so that they could contact me?

Apple can't and with the activation lock and broken screen the best thing to do is hand it in to the police.

I bought an iPod touch 5th gen and it was recently stolen. Can I track it by its Serial Number?

I haven't even had it for that long and it was stolen right out of my bag, It was really expensive and I have a lot of important info on it. Please help me find out if it is trackable so to speak.

Tracking Ipod touch with Serial number

My son just got his ipod touch in April and lost it over the weekend in Gilbert AZ, I know the serial number, how cam I trackit, it does not have any trcaking apps on it.
The safari and other apps are locked so whoever finds it cannot use it for a lot of things.
How can i track it with just the serial number?

that is not entirely true, but the only way to "track" it would be once it is connected to a computer, and connected to iTunes...i would suggest calling Apple support to see how this is done.

How to track stolen laptops with Serial Number?

Hi friends, my laptop is stolen two weeks back from my home. Serial No. CBxxxxxxxx
Plz give me a suggetion to track that laptop.
Moderator Note; s/n edited
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Subrahmanya,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Currently, the only method AFAIK to track a laptop is via the Anti Theft Technology. It's a lojack for laptops that's embedded on the motherboard. When this chip is activated with the help of Absolute CompuTrace then they should be able to track the unit. Otherwise, there's no technology yet to track the laptop via the serial number.
I recommend you have it reported to the local authorities so that you can claim the unit back once it's recovered.
Regards,
neokench

No.

I thought I had signed my ipod into icloud but when i'm trying to find my ipod icloud from my pc is not recognizing it. Can I track my ipod by serial number

I thought I had registered my sons ipod with icloud but now that he's lost it I've tried finding where it is through icloud but it's not recognized. Does this mean it's not actually registered or offline? Is there any other way to track it.

No. You needed to have set up an iCloud account on the iPod before it was lost, as the find my iPod feature is a setting under the iCloud account. You are out of luck at this point.

REM Backflush Materials With Serial Number

Hi all,
We decideed to trace some materials with serial number. I have created serial number profile and assigned to the materials. But in REM confirmation SAP does not support backflushing materials with serial numbers. Cause of product cost collector i can not consume the material manually within inventory management.
How can i consume the materials with serial number in repetative manufacturing ?
Regards,
techmaster,

Hello
Please check note SAP note 100621.
This note states that repetitive manufacturing does not allow to use serial numbers on the components.

Production Reservation with serials number

Dear All,
We have a requriement that we have serials nubmer for finish goods, and we know which serials number belong to which sales order. We want to implement that the sales order can reserve the finish goods with serials number, other sales order can not delivery to finish goods belong to this sales other.
Any suggestion?
I will reward you.
regards
Gang

Hi Gang,
In the sales order, you can assign the serial number to the material so that this serial number is reserved for the item. The way to do this is: Menu -> Extras -> Technical Objects.
Do let me have your feedback if this works for you.
Best Regards

Can Apple help finding iPad with new "Owner" via serial Number?

VERY sadly I lost my 3rd Generation, wifi-only iPad in a taxi in Mexico (my parttime home). I tried using FindMyPhone app to find or lock my iPad, but it NEVER worked. Last Saturday, someone connected online (despite what the FindMyPhone said) and a handful of photos showed up in my DropBox. I have a very general idea where it is (not the city, only state of Guanajuato) and appears to be owned by a teacher.
BUT!!! Why can't Apple use the serial number to keep the person from creating a new account, tell me when and where it is online? I know people are getting robbed of their iPhones, iPads, etc often.
I do suspect Apple does not want to help, as victtims become new purchasers.
Any suggestions?
P.S. This weekend is Mexico Independence and I will go to the equivalent of our school district on Tuesday to see if anyone recognizes the photos of the classroom the apparent teacher took. So close, yet so far.
I am pretty heartbroken as it is a bit too expensive to replace.
P.P.S. AND, NO there is NO geolocation information in any of the photos. I have tried all the usual ways to recoup my 64GB baby.

HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

2nd Generation ipod Touch

Hello, Tommyty,
I am sorry you have lost your iPod. You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically. Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you.
Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
No.
Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number. Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number. This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
"Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you.
If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it. In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
• you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
• someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
• the police may find it after you have reported it stolen
