    I am afraid you can't, you need Find My iPad.

  • Is it possible to find a stolen MacBook with only the serial number

    No. That can't be done.
    Ask them to show you how.

  • Can you locate an ipod with just the serial number?

    hai uh i need to locate my stolen ipod ._.

    You cannot track an iPod by its serial number. If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

    - 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.

    My Ipod touch 5G recently got stolen and i was wondering if there was a way i could add my ipod to find my phone with just the serial number.

    Sorry, it can only be enabled on the device itself.  You might also want to read this: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is there any way to track my ipod touch with just its serial number?

    I recently lost my ipod touch at a friends house, and we have been looking for almost a week now to find it. It may have been stolen, as there were other people at his house, but I can't be sure. It does not have i cloud installed. So according to all sources ive checked, there is no way to track it. If there is no way to track the device with the serial number, is there a way to remotely install i cloud on to my ipod? it has been gone for almost a week like i said, so it is unllikely that it has any power left. I know that most likely the answer to both these questions is no, but I dont want to give up yet.

    - The SN will only identify the iPod as your if it is recovered.
    - Since you can't contact the iPod you can't install anything one.
    - Report to police
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Look for it the old fashioned way, like if you lost your wallet.
    - Apple will not do anything.

  • 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.

  • How to find where an ipod is without the serial number

    HELP PLZZ

    The serial number will not help.
    If you enabled "find my iPod" in Settings, you can use iCloud. Its location will be determined when it connects to a wireless network, presuming the network's location is also known.
