  • Can i track down an ipod with a serial number

    i have an ipod 5 without a back camera, i think its 16 gb and i lost it, is there a way to find it without using icloud, can i use my serial number or chat with an apple representative? i do have the original box it came in

    Hey iv123, Apple will not help, and having the serial number will help you ID your iPod should someone turn it in to a lost and found or the police, but that's about it. As Alan has stated you will need to go physically look for it. Good luck. Also, if you haven't already done so, report it lost / stolen to the police, they will do little, but if someone turns it in you may get a call. You should check with lost and founds also if lost in a public area. If you set up an iCloud account you can disable the iPod so if a thief attempts to use your iPod on line, it be wiped. Also, you should disconnect from this iPod, change all passwords / account information associated with this iPod to limit a thief's access to your information. Hope this helps. Cheers.

    Is there a way to track a lost ipod with the serial number?

    Here are the Find my iPod instructions.   iCloud - Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
    Apple do not have any form of service to find lost products.   But if it is lost, you can make a claim to your household insurance company or if it is stolen, report it to the police and send the report details to your insurance company.

    You can't. The SN will only identify the iPod when if it is recovered.

  • Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

    Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

    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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Can you call apple to track a missing ipod with the serial number?

    i lost my ipod or soeone must have stolen it..i did not have any tracking devices or gps apps on it...can apple track it through the serial number?

    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.  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.

  • Is there a way to find a stolen ipod with the serial number?

    a few days ago my ipod touch 4th gen was stolen and i was wondering if there was a way to track it using the serial number?

    "yeah but there is still a way that you may track a phone"
    Yes.  GPS and Cell tower triangulation.  They also appeared in front of congress to answer for doing this.  And they will NOT track a lost iphone either.
    " i dont see why they cannot use the same thing to find an ipod "
    They will not track a lost iphone either, for the same reason.
    "hey could use the wifi to track the serial number"
    No they cannot for the reason provided.  Privacy law violations among other things.
    You could have used the find my ipod app to do this.  Apple cannot, just as no other manufacturer of devices will do it.
    Sorry.

  • Can i track my i pod with the serial number??

    Someone stole my I pod off a church bus can you please give me some ways to track it down!!

    No. The serial number only helps identify you as the owner in case the device is found or the police recover it. Report the theft to the police. Then say a prayer.

  • Can apple track a stolen phone with the imei number?

    I'm hoping someone can answer this and help.  My iPhone 4 was stolen in transit to a buyer.  I am trying to figure out the best course of action to locate it, if that's possible.  Thanks!

    Thanks, Karen + Michael.  This was a phone I had wiped clean and unlocked so I could sell it... so I personally cannot track it.  I was just hoping the IMEI number could be tracked by Apple. 
    Note to anyone else selling -- DON'T SELL TO RUSSIA!  What a mess.
    Are you saying you didn't ship it insured...?

  • How can i track a stolen ipod touch with a serial number?

    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 #.

  • 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

  • Can you find my ipod with the serial number if it is dead ??

  • HT4061 i lost my Pad Please how can i track it ,I cannot remmeber the serial number.

    i lost my Pad Please how can i track it ,I cannot remmeber the serial number. Please help me find it

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    There are some methods described on this page for how you might be able to find the serial number :
