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.

    How do you find it with only the serial number ??0:

    The serial # will only help you if you think you have found the iPod. You  can compare your serial number to the # on the iPod. Other than that, the serial number won't assist you in finding it any other way.

  • How do I try to track my 8GB ipod touch with the serial number if i dont have the actual ipod with me because its lost?

    I need answers on how to find or track my 8GB Ipod Touch.  The only thing i have is my phone and the computer to track it down somehow.  I have the serial number and I just need help trying to locate it somehow.

    You can't track it with the serial number.  If you had an iPod Touch running iOS 5 later AND set up Find my IPod on it, then there is a chance you might be able to locate it by going to www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID and clicking Find my IPod.  Of course, the iPod still needs to be on and connected to a Wi-Fi network in order for it to be located.
    If nothing else, report it to the police and change any and all passwords to any accounts you set up or used on the iPod.
    Apple otherwise cannot help you.

  • HT1689 How do I find a lost or stolen ipod touch with the Serial Number

    How do I find my ipod touch? Lost or stolen, not sure.

    The serial number will do nothing to help you locate it.
    IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod BEFORE it was lost AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been found and restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Otherwise, you cannot track it.

    how can i track a stolen ipod touch (2nd gen, 8gb, 4.2.1)

    Lucky you, the only way to get your missing device back is thru a GOOD SAMARITHAN.Remember once the new user puts your device to "ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS" and you connect it to your iTunes ,using the new users Apple ID ,everything changes to the new users name,unless you have an Apple Care protection plan which is  registered under that serial #.

  • How could I locate my stolen iPod Touch if the serial number is known and the device was already connected to iTune by the thief and connected to his apple ID

    My iPod Touch was stolen on the airport in vienna and already noticed to the local police.
    Is it possible to locate the thief, since he has alrady connected the device to iTunes and applied to his apple ID.
    (it is not longer in the reladed list of my apple ID - when I type in the serial number I get the message, that the device is related to another apple ID)
    Is there any way for the local police, to get the information of the actual apple ID of the thief from apple?

    A little more information:
    - 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.

  • Can apple find my ipod touch with the serial number?

    I'm wondering how to find my Ipod touch and if it is possible to go to an Apple store, give them my lost ipod's serial number, and find it somehow. Can anyone tell me anything?

    - No.  The SN will only help idenify the iPod as yours if it is recovered. Apple will do nothing
    - If youu hadturn on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on you may be able to find its general location by going to icloud.com, signing  in and going to FindMyiPhone,. However, that can be defeated by turing the iPOd off or restoring the iPod.
    - Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

    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.

    is their still away to locate my lost ipod touch without the app find my ipod being on it

    The Find My iPhone APP has nothing to do with setting up the service on you ipod.  It's used to find other los devices.
    You needed to turn on Find My iPhone service in Settings>iCloud (near bottom of page).  Without that you cannot locate the device.
