How can I track an Iphone storen from me using the serial number?

I got my I Phone stolen yesterday and I really need to find it. I registered it with apple when I bought it, but thats about it. My location finder on the phone could be on, or off. help if there is a way of tracking it using the serial number.

Did you enable the "Find My iPhone" feature?
If you did, log into MobileMe and use it.
If you did not, there is no way to track it.
Apple does not assist users in tracking lost/stolen devices.
Contact your carrier and report it stolen.  YOU are responsible for all charges on the account until you report it stolen.
Contact law enforcement and file a report.  If they have the manpower and deem it important enough, they can get a warrant and get information from your carrier to track the device.

  • My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without having to wait fo rthe serial number to come up

    My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without have to wait for the serial number?

    The serial number will not help you track it at all.
    IF you set up fond my ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been restored by the thief, tehn you may be able to get an approx street address from icloud/find my ipod.
    Otherwise, there is no way to track it at all.

  • HT201365 can i track my apple device just by knowing the serial number ?

    can i track my apple device just by knowing the serial number ? my Idevice has been stolen but i did not activate ''find my Iphone'' on it and now i'm wondering if i could find my iphone just by knowing the serial number

    Unfortunately, no.  The serial number will only help you file a claim with your insurance company and a police report.  The IMEI number will help your carrier blacklist the phone so it cannot be used on thier network.  But you needed to enable Find My iPhone on it before it was lost in order to track it.

  • HT1459 My daughter forgot the password to her IPod & disabled it.  How can I fix this? I do not have the serial number because it was purchased used!

    My daughter reset her IPod and after doing so the Ipod asked for a password.  We do not have a serial number for the Ipod as it was used.  The IPod is now disabled.  How can I fix this?

  • My iPod Touch 32 GB 4th Genereation is stolen. I didnt not remember to turn on the Find My IPhone App in my Settings. Is there anyway that I can track down my Ipod Touch by using the serial number on the casing or anyother solutions?

    My IPod Touch 32 GB 4th generation was stolen. I didnt put the Find My IPhone to enabled. Is there an solutions of how i can track my IPod down? Please help?

    i can probably answer this part for you. in our bills and laws the privacy act was added. this made it so information among other things cannot be attained without a warrent or permission of the person being "searched or in this case located". if apple were to merely locate the ipod without the proper paperwork and authorities involved they could face serious fines aswell as jail time. so even though your ipod was stolen by someone else it is now in their possesion and therefor you cannot turn a feature on to locate it without that persons permission. however the way the "find my ipod app" works is it is designed to locate the ipod alone. this is why it can be activated by the owner with their permission. you can get the police involved however without knowing who stole it the warrent cannot be obtained. im sorry but i hope this helped you understand this isnt apples fault but laws are laws.

  • HT4623 How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    Hi Team,
    I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1.  While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected.  Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not. 
    and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only.  I am not looking for iOS 7 right now.  Please suggest the update process?

    You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • HT4061 how can i track my iphone 5s that stolen?

    How can i track my iphone that stolen? What if the thief change my icloud or just turn the phone off? Is there any solution for that case? Please help me..thanks

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.
