How to block stolen ipod touch using serial number?

hello... my ipod touch was stolen last night and i'm trying to figure out how to block the ipod using just the serial number.... i'm not quiet sure if the "find my iphone" apps is still accessible since it can be reset and all the data that's been saved will be deleted.

The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours 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 the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • How to block my stolen ipod touch via serial number

    can anyone knows how to block my ipod touch 5th gen via serial number ? the one who stole my ipod touch has the capabilities about idevices .. i want atleast to block my stolen ipod for them not to use it or atleast that device is not being a useful one .. sorry for my bad english hope you guys get my point,many thanks in advace .. please suggestions?

    You can't block (nor locate) it via the serial number.
    If you had Find My iPod enabled on it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPod disabled on it (if it was on iOS 7 as your tagline suggests then Find My iPod should be harder to disable).
    You've reported it to the police ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • How to block stolen ipod touch from a distance? please help

    Hi,
    My whole handbag was stolen today in a store, inside was my purse, smart-phone and my Ipod touch.
    What can I do to block my ipod from a distance.
    If I can't have it back, they don't deserve to get it for free.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Heidi

    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod for their own use or to sell it.
    If you has already turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected you may be able to locate and wipe it. Go to iCloud, sign in and go to findMyPhone. If the iPod i restored the find feature is deleted.
    - Apple will not help with anything
    Report to police and the store and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod

  • How to track your ipod touch with serial number?

    Well i lost my ipod touch and I don't know how to find it. Is there anyway to track my ipod touch with my serial number.

    Here is Apple article:
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    While Apple might be able to get information when the iPod is connected to iTunes, there would be privacy issues with revealing it to anybody who claimed it was stolen. Just think what would happen if you sold the iPod and later claimed it was stolen or lost.

  • Relocate Stolen Ipod touch through serial number....

    6 Months ago my Ipod Touch was stolen and I do not know the serial number. Because the person who stole it lied to the police and did not have my stolen Ipod on them, there was nothing the police could do to get it back. I recently noticed that ITunes shows the serial number of devices when they are plugged into iTunes. Well I am wondering if iTunes stores serial numbers of all Devices used through ITunes. If so, is there some way I can get the serial number to locate my stolen device? I don't remember if I registered the device through Apple or not. I usually do register all my devices.

  • Is it possible to find my lost ipod touch using serial number that i know?

    title says it all

    No.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    my ipad was stolen. how to block this stolen ipad by using serial number？

    You can't. If you had set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then you could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
    Apart from that you should report it to the police, and as a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    Any way of locating iPod touch by serial number?

    No, there is not.
    IF you had set up find my ipod BEFORE it was lost AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi, THEN you may be able to find an apporximate street address.
    Otherwise you cannot track it.

  • How to get MAC Address of a stolen laptop by using Serial number?

    Hi my Lenovo G560 laptop was stolen on 17/04/13. I have the serial number. In order to trace the laptop, I need the MAC address. Unfortunately I don't know the MAC address of my stolen laptop. My question is, is it possible to get the MAC address by using serial number? 
    Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxx
    Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

    hi Subrahmanya,
    Sorry to hear about your trouble. Unfortunately, the only way to get the MAC address is to run a query on the unit (physically or or remotely). Using the serial number to query information on the system will list the devices that are included on the unit (this doesn't include the MAC address).
