Can I block stolen IPAD Since I know its Serial Number

My IPAD got stolen this past Monday & I do not have a password lock on it . I changed my password since then . I need to retrieve my pictures first and is there a away to block that IPAD from usage since I know its S/N ? Please help

No. 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

  • Is there a security firm out there that can track and locate a stolen ipad if provided with its serial number

    Are there any security firms out there capable of locating a stolen passcode protected ipad (first generation)?

    I'm sure that you can find one that will do the job but are you willing to pay?  Figure that they'll charge you an hourly rate with no guarantee of results.  Hmmm...  $500/hour for ten hours.
    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.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If you have reason for unusual concern, the iPad should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • I have found an iPod shuffle. I know its serial number. How do I find its owner?

    I have found an iPod shuffle and so know the serial number. How do I find its owner?

    I found an Ipod Shuffle and I called Apple Support desk to return it to the rightfull owner. I offered them to send my contact details to the owner. And then the owner can contact me if he likes. They refused to do this as it is a privacy issue. They advised me to bring it to the local police who can send the request to a special e-mail address of Apple. But I know that normally the police won't bother. And Apple will like this probably, as the previous owner will buy a new Apple device.

  • 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.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • Is there any way to locate a stolen ipad if I have the Serial number but didn't turn on the Find My Ipad?

    My Ipad (and backpack, laptop, & other stuff) was stolen at the Portland Oregon Airport at 1:30 PM on 2/27/12.
    unfortunately I had not turned on the Find My Ipad function. I do have the serial number and the IMEI number (although I never enabled the 3g function).
    Is there any way to locate or track this?
    Earlier discussions suggest this can't be done, but I have registred the laptop with Apple.

    No.
    Apple are not in the business of tracing your stolen iPad, any more than the manufacturer of your car will trace that if stolen.
    Tell your service provider (now, before the thief spends a few thousand on international calls....), the police and your insurer.

  • Stolen IPad What impact has the serial numbe rin such a case?

    my ipad has been stolen. What happens if the "new" user has resetted it and then connects to iTunes? The serial number of the iPad is assigned to my account/appleID. Will he get a problem to open a new account with this iPad? Has this somehow an impact or not? Or can the serial number be assigned to various accounts?? Can I do anything in order to prevent the new user using my iPad?

    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 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.

  • How to report a stolen lap top without knowing the serial number????

    Hello!
    My lap top was stolen yesterday. I want to report it, but i do bot have the serial number. All I know is that it is Toshiba Satellite A 350. What can I do??? Please, help!

    Hi
    There is a Toshiba page: Registration of Stolen Units:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/STOLEN_UNITS_SUPPORT
    To register the notebook, the computers model number and serial number is needed.
    I think if you dont have this numbers, then you will not be able to register this ;(
    The serial number is unique and therefore its very important.

  • Is there anyway I can get my stolen ipod back with it's serial number?

    It says that the device is offline (so find my ipod never works) so either it can't connect to wifi ( which means it's still at school) or someone reset it.

    Report it to the police and the school and change your passwrods.
    There is nothing more to do.
