HOW TO FIND LOST IPOD BY SERIAL NUMBER

RECENTLY WENT ON VACATION AND MY SON REALIZED HE LOST/ HAD HIS IPOD STOLEN. I FILED A POLICE REPORT BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THERE A WAY I CAN TRACK THE IPOD IF I HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER.

There is not a way.  Apple doen't provide this kind of service.
Find my iPod Touch - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be connected to WiFi and not having been restored by the finder.

  • HT1689 How to find an ipod with serial number

    I lost my ipod but how can i find it i have the serial number

    You can't.
    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 "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    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.

  • How do I find my ipod touch serial number on icloud?

    I am trying to find out how to find the serial number for my ipod touch 4th generation on icloud. I lost my ipod and I've been using the "find my device" tool on icloud but it keeps on saying it cannot be located. I then clicked on the "notify me when you find it" tool and it asks me for my contact number but doesn't let me type in my number. I'm frustrated and I can't even talk to a live person and that's making me even more frustrated.

  • How to track my lost ipod w/serial number?

    HELP! I cannot find my Ipod touch, Is there any way I can track it down with the serial  number?

    No.  Apple can't help either.  If you had already set up the FindMyiPod feature you may be able to find it. The SN will allow you to identify the iPod as yours if it is found.

  • How do I find my iPod's serial number if it's been stolen?

    My iPod video was stolen two weeks ago, and the police told me that, if they somehow recover my iPod, it'll make it much easier for them to return it to me if they have the serial number. Unfortunately, I've had the iPod for several years so I don't have the original packaging or the receipt anymore, nor is the iPod registered in my Support Profile. I know that, if I had it, I could hook it up to my computer and the serial number would show up in iTunes, but I obviously can't do that. However, I have obviously hooked the iPod up to my iTunes before, so I was wondering if there was any way to go back into my iTunes history and retrieve the serial number that way somehow. Any ideas?

    I'm doing this in iTunes 11 on Windows.
    So, in iTunes, if you don't have the menu bar showing, hit ctrl+b.
    Now, make sure you have something to write with handy, as you're going to need to be fast.
    When the menu bar pops up, hold down ctrl and click Help and then About iTunes (hold down the ctrl button the entire time).
    A small screen will pop up with some scrolling information, a couple seconds in you'll see 'iPod S/N:'
    Write down the list of letters and numbers that comes after that, as that is the serial number of the last iPod that was plugged and synced with iTunes.
    You can repeat this process several times to be sure you get all the characters.
    You do NOT need to have your iPod plugged into iTunes to acces this information, the only necessary thing is that your iPod has been plugged into and synced with iTunes at least once (which you have, so good). For posterity: if it's never been plugged in, and you don't have the box, you might be out of luck.

  • Lost iPod registered serial number

    I lost my Ipod and it was not under my email but my sons. I put his email and apple I'd but it doesn't work. I registered his iPod with the serial number under my email and apple Id(after his email not working). What else can I do?

    - 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

  • How to find stolen itouch with serial number

    As many of you, I got my iPod touch 4gen stolen during a trip, so it is difficult to know exactly where it happened. I did not have MobileMe etc activated, so only info I have is the serial number from original box as I bought it new.
    What can I do ?
    Can the police help ?
    It must be so easy to track it when it is connected to a wifi connection....

    There is no way to do this, all you can do is report the device stolen with the police and give them the serial number of the device.
    Hopefully if they recover this then they will be able to contact them.
    There is no way to activate find my device after it has been lost.
    as you need to sign into the service on the device and agree to the terms.

  • Lost IPod, have serial number, what to do now?!....

    My iPod was recently lost/stolen (not sure), and I retrieved the serial number. What do I do now?

    Report the theft to your local police, if you have the serial number make sure that you have it quoted in the report. If your iPod was registered with Apple when you first got it, that will assist the Police in returning it to you should it ever be recovered (Apple have no procedure to track, trace or block your iPod from use): How to report lost or stolen Apple product?

    If you still have the box, the serial number is on there.  I don't know what use having the serial number will be unless the police find it and you can then identify by the serial number but I don't hold out much hope, sorry!

  • How to find system recover media (serial number) for refurbished laptops

    Good day,
    A friend of my bought a refurbished Satallite L875D-S7232 in March 2013. Unforunately the Toshiba HD drive failed and as it had also the recovery partition on it we are not even able to reinstall win7 home onto a new hard drive.
    Therefore I tried to use the Microsoft recovery download site but when I entered the product key it came up that this product key is an OEM version and I need to get in contact with the laptops brand.
    Therefore I tried the Toshiba laptop but unfortunately that wants the serial number which I can't find and looking online I got the hint that you take them off if the computer gets refurbished. Now the question would be how I can get hold onto the legal version of Win7 home which my friend bought when she paid for the laptop? Maybe I have a chance to find the computers serial number somehow?
    The win OEM product key would be MJ2V3-VG7V8-F4YTF-WQ672-KHRF4.

    The serial numbers shouldn't be removed from refurbished models. It should be on the same label with model and part numbers.

  • How to find out the right Serial Number of my unit

    M30x-118:
    Serial number from back side became unreadable - washed out. Is it possible to find this info somewhere else?
    Not yet registered.

    Hello Irikov
    In my opinion there are no many different ways how to do this. You can try to contact your local dealer. I am pretty sure that he has noticed the serial number of all units that he sales.
    I have found a nice tool (system analyzer) that maybe can show you the serial number of your unit. It called Sandra professional 2005. This program is not for free but you can check if there is some trial version.
    The safest way is to contact service partner. They can readout the serial number that is noticed on, I think, motherboard.
    Bye
