Can the serial number help find my ipod

lost ipod could it be found with the serial number

No. SN will only help identify the iPod 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- 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

How do I find the serial number of a stolen Ipod touch?

Unfortunately, we lost the serial number of our touch - now it was stolen. How can we find the serial number - I thought it would be registered under my iTunes-account... Any ideas? Thanks.

You can get the serial number in iTunes by heading to Edit->Preferences. Then when the window comes up, click the Devices tab and hover your mouse over one the iPod's backup. It should then display it's serial #.
Or look in the places described here if at all possible.

I bought a used ipod touch, unopened. I want to enter the serial number to find out if it is stolen. how do i do that?

So i bought a 4th gen 32gb ipod touch off of craigslist. It had never been opened. It still had the seals on it. I opened it, but never connected it to itunes. I didn't use it because it dawned on me that this ipod might be stolen. I have the serial number, so is there a way to contact apple and see if this ipod has been reported stolen? If it has, I will turn it into the police, because i do not want to be in possession of stolen goods.
Thanks

I would suggest you to call Apple.
I am not sure if you can find such an information on line.
You can for sure check if the device was registered just going here http://www.apple.com/it/support/contact/
This is the link in Italian. try to put us instead of it between com/ and /support to get US. and try to register it.
But I believe if it is still in its package it will probably not jet regiostered.
Try google: there is probably a page were pepople put stolen devices.

iPod: How to find the serial number

How do I find out the serial number of my stolen iPod Touch?

I went on a skiing trip to Boston a few weeks ago (I'm from the UK, hehehe) and on the last day my iPod Touch, along with 4 others in my year, went missing from all of our hotel rooms. Me and my friends thought it was a bit of a coincidence that we were all in the youngest year group but we were sure that our iPods had been stolen when a completely wiped out (resetted/restored) iPod had been found in one of the rooms that didn't belong to any of us as it didn't match the size (8GB ect). The Police were involved at some point as well but I don't really know what happened after that;S Anyway... I need the serial number to claim for the insurance. I appreciate any help:)

Sorry to hear about such behavior in our country and that it was aimed at visitors.
Did you register the iPod with Apple when you purchased/activated it? If so, Apple will have the serial number in the system. They may not be willing to release that information to you without really solid proof that you are who you say you are. But they will with the police.
Try:
http://www.apple.com/contact
and see if someone on there can point you in the right direction to get the serial number.

The title of your post asked for information on how to find the serial number. It may be at https://supportprofile.apple.com
If it isn't there, if it was ever backed up using iTunes you may be able to find the serial number in the very last step of iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
You don't give any specifics of what you mean by "its not working" when you use iCloud to find it but the following may help: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview

My iPod 5th gen. Has recently been stolen and I got an email saying that find my iPod was turned off and all I have left is the serial number and I was wondering if there was anyway to track it down and claim it using the serial number.

No way at all.

I know who stole my ipod. How can I use the serial number to get my ipod back?

I know who stole my ipod. It's in my ex-friends house. I want to get it back, but I think the tracking number will only be useful to prove it's mine once I get my hands on it.
Any other options or ideas?

Contact the police and give them the serial number.

HT4061 Can the serial number be looked up via the registered owner (database) for an Ipad?

I had my Ipad stolen and I just had someone email me about possibly locating it, however they are asking me what the serial number is and I do not know where the original packaging is, and the computer I used to have (downloaded Itunes on) has since crashed. So, can I look up the serial number with my information as the registered owner? Odd situation I know, but I so need my Ipad back and I am hoping maybe this person that has found one might have mine.... Help...Jacque

Is the serial number of my stolen iPod Touch stored in my icloud account?

My icloud account was set up by a friend that is not available to ask this question, My 3rd generation iPod Touch was stolen. I think the find my phone has been activated but the device has not shown up as having been connected to wifi since it has been gone. I just purchased a new 5th generation, but I am afraid if I register it under the same icloud account it will delete the missing iPod. I haven't been able to locate the serial number of the missing iPod in my icloud account. I am assuming it was put there when my friend set the icloud account up for me, Should I just open a second icloud account for the new iPod Touch? All of my music is backed up to this computer so I haven't lost that. Any insight or suggestions will be appreciated.

- To find serial; number
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
- However your concern "but I am afraid if I register it under the same icloud account it will delete the missing iPod. " is unfounded. It will not delete the missing iPod. Just use the same iCloud ID. To avoid confusion make sure the name of the device is different than the missing one

No. It won't do anything. You must have setup Find My Phone otherwise there is nothing you can do.

If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
