    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

  • How to track my stolen ipod only using the serial number

    I had my iPod stolen from me sometime within the last week. I changed my iCloud password tonight & I was just wondering if there is any way I can track it using the serial number because I did not set up "find my iPhone" before it was stolen. It was not locked (the password when you first turn it on.) Please help me! I still have one year warranty on it too. Can anybody tell me how to go about fixing the problem? I have serial number if you can track it that way. Please get back to me with your responses asap . thx

    No. The SN will only help idenitfy the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
    lost/stolen                                     
    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - 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.

    No. Contact the carrier to which it is locked.

    My nephew give me the iphone and i'm not sure about the carrier. how i can get this information using the imei number?

    If you have the iPhone in front of you, here's how you can learn the carrier:
    Go to Settings > General > About and look at the "Network" row near the top.  There's your carrier's name!

  • My iphone was stolen how do i get the iphone blocked with the IMEI number

    how to get an iphone locked with the imei number?

    Ask your carrier as it varies from country to country.  In the USA, I don't believe any carrier maintains blacklisted IMEI numbers.  All they will do is cancel the account associated with that number, but they won't track and/or block that number.

    Call applecare.  They can look up the IMEI number in their system to see if the device is eligible.

  • TS4006 My Iphone has been stolen. I have the IMEI number. How do I search for it?

    My Iphone has been stolen. I have the IMEI number. How do I search for it?

    I'm afraid the IMEI number won't do you any good: its principal value is in enabling your service provider to block the phone.
    In order for your iPhone to be locatable you must have enabled the 'Find My Phone' app on it prior to losing it, and it must be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. Unless all these conditions are true there is no way of locating it.

    I have an Iphone 4 where the imei number is erased, how can I put back on it the imei number

    They would have to do more than that to remove or alter the IMEI, or, as brad805 already said, the logic board has been damaged. The person they got if from was probably trying to dump 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 #.

  • HT1689 Can Apple track a stolen iphone 4?

    I recently had my iphone stolen and I have it registered online. Is there any way to track a stolen phone through apple's website.

    Can they?  Possibly.
    Will they... not a chance in heck.
    Try a search or the more like the section.

  • Can apple track a stolen iphone

    can my stolen iphone be traced

    True, Apple can't-but with the IMEI theoretically the police could - however in reality they won't as it too much bother unless the theft is related to something serious.
    Sigh,
