How do I find the serial number on my stolen ipad if I never wrote it down?

Need to file police report, it is not on file with applecare despite my purchasing two years, and not found at apple despite me calling everywhere!

Hi domesticjoy,
So, you are indicating that when you go to My Support Profile you are not able to see it under the My Products section: Apple - Support - My Support Profile
If not, then have you backed it up to iTunes? If you have, then open iTunes on your computer, click on Preferences under iTunes, click on the Devices tab, and then using your mouse, hover over one of the backups for the device. It will display a little box with the Serial Number info in it
Cheers,
GB

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.

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.

Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
Stolen iPad Database
http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

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.

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.

How can I find the serial number of my stolen MacBook Pro?

Hi,
I had my 2009 Macbook Pro stolen about 10 months ago. I didn't think I'd see it again until last last it showed up on my "Find My Phone" App, in Vietnam.
I locked it straight away and sent a message to the screen with my email address.
The person who had it worked at a computer shop and contacted me straight away.
He understands its stolen and wants to help but he will only give it to the police. And the Vietnamese police want my serial number to proove its mine before they will send it back to me.
I don't have a copy of the recpiet or serial number. I've been to the iStudio where I bought it and thier records start 1 month after I purcahsed it.
I've tried the https://supportprofile.apple.com page and for some reason my macbooks are not registered on there. All my other apple products are.
Is there any other way I can retrieve my serial number?
It's conected to the icloud and the app and I've made puchases on iTunes from it.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Many Thanks

No.

How do I find the Serial number of a locked iphone?

Thanks but unfortunately I don't have any of those items to do that. Just have the phone. We are a third party support provider for Pharma companies and they send in their HW when users leave the company or are let go. This particular client deployed this device outside of our company at some point so we did not have the luxury of recording that info when deployed. We also cannot reach the original user to obtain the passcode. All we need is the serial number but need a way to access that on the phone without the passcode and without resetting or restoring the phones IOS.
