Find the owner of an ipad with the Serial Number?

I'm not sure if this ipad I purchased on Ebay is stolen or not but I cannot access it because the previous owner still has it on their account.  How can I track the previous owner either to give them their property back or get access to the ipad?

You cannot.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
There is No Workaround.

    If you registered it with Apple check your registered items at Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases. Also, see iOS- How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. 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:

  • Is it possible to find the serial number of a device with which I signed into my Apple ID, but which was not registered?

    I bought an iPad2 about 2 years ago. It was stolen around 5 months ago, but since I had never registered it with apple, I gave it up for lost. Now I find it is possible to track based on serial number. Is it possible to find the serial number of my iPad without having registered it, since it has been signed into my Apple ID?

  • How do I find the serial number for a lost ipad?

    My ipad's been stolen, and I need to find the sertial nunber to give to the Police. Unfortunately, I did not keep the original packaging, so cannot refer to that for the serial number. I have an itunes account....am I able to locate my serial number through itunes, and if so, could anyone talk me through how I go about doing that. Many thanks.

    Yes:
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPad and select Preferences… from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPad's serial number will appear in a popup window.

    Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install

  • Ipad has been stolen. Need to find the serial number

    When I went to the support page and entered my id info, only my iphone 5 information comes up.  I have had my ipad for 6 years. I need to file a police report, but can't find the serial number?

    Six years? Since the original iPad was released on April 3, 2010, which is less than four years in the past, your claim of six years is bogus.

  • How do I find the serial number of my stolen macbook?

    I recently had stolen my macbook, macbook pro and iphone....and other than retrieving the MEID number of my Iphone, I did not have the serial numbers of the macbooks listed anywhere and I also bought these used online so I did not have a receipt with the serial number either.   I did not have an icloud, any retrieving software, nor itunes.  I did though bring them into the apple store after buying them and had them cleared for my own use and also listed them as devices on my apple account.  After discussing this matter with apple and checking my devices, it came to our attention that my device list had fell off my account due to the person who stole them had cleared them with apple, which automatically puts the macbook devices onto a new account.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I need the serial numbers for the police report.

  • I'm locked out of my IPhone 3 and I cannot find the serial number

    This wouldn't be an issue if I could find the serial number. However, since this is an IPhone 3, I don't know if the serial code is on the outside of the device. I set my password, then when I tried it, it wouldn't let me in. I checked on the back of the device to find the serial number, however, it doesn't seem to be printed.
    It says: 'Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China. Model Number: ***** FCC ID: ********* IC ID: ****-******'
    I do not know if the FCC ID or the IC ID is the serial number or not. I need the serial number to get service, and I need service to get the serial number. That's my issue.
    My computer, for whatever reason, also cannot download ITunes. Although I know there is a way to do 'recovery mode' with connecting the phone to ITunes, I'm having trouble doing that.

  • Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version?

    I had to restore from backup to a new hard drive, and only have part of my Adobe Photoshop installation. Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version?  I have only part of the documentation so this is the best way I see to get the full version back.

    Hello brad,
    you did purchase your product from these firms like Amazon, so you didn't get a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
    The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
    Additionally you should have a look at Adobe's database, to see what's stored/saved about your accounts. Here you will find general infos about your Adobe Account.
    On the other hand, if necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • I got Photoshop Elements 11 when I got my Wacom tablet, but I can't find the serial number anywhere?

    I got Photoshop Elements 11 when i got my wacom tablet this summer. I recently got a better computer so i want Elements 11 on it too. The problem is that I cannot find the serial number anywhere to be able to use it on my new computer. Since I got Elements through Wacom, it does not show up as a product on my Adobe profile. Does anyone know what I can do to get it back?

    Also check the Wacom page. I'm sure there are instructions on how to deal with OEM licensed and bundled versions.
