How to find lost iPod with only serial number

I let my friend use my iPod and she Lost it.I only have the serial number

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 your bank or any 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.

    2nd Generation ipod Touch

    Hello, Tommyty,
    I am sorry you have lost your iPod.  You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically.  Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you.

    Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.

    No.
    Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and  "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
    If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number.  Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
    Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number.  This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
    Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
    "Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you. 
    If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it.  In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
    Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
      • you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
      • someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
      • the police may find it after you have reported it stolen

  • HT1529 how to find my iphone with the serial number

    hi
    could you please tell how to find my iphone with the serial number ?

    Sorry, there is no way to do that.
    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    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:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • Is there a way to track a lost ipod with the serial number?

    Is there a way to track a lost ipod with the serial number?

    Here are the Find my iPod instructions.   iCloud - Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
    Apple do not have any form of service to find lost products.   But if it is lost, you can make a claim to your household insurance company or if it is stolen, report it to the police and send the report details to your insurance company.

  • Can I find my ipod with the serial number :o

    I lost my ipod and I was wondering if I could find that ipod with the serial number

    No                           
    - 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 do I reinstall Aperture with only serial number?

    I had to have a new hard drive installed and due to software corruption on my old drive I had to erase any software.  My photo library was in Aperture and I can not access any of my images.  I upgraded from a free trial and only have a serial number for version 3.2.4.  How do I reinstall Aperture without having to repurchase the download?  Thank you for any advice!

    Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can install Aperture 3 from this link, then unlock it with your serial number:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    Then use software update to upgrade to 3.3.
    Keep a copy of the Trial installer, just in case you ever need to reinstall.
    Regards
    Léonie

    As I said, and Varjak said, if it is setup in iCloud, login to iCloud from your comptuier or other device, click on Find My and find the entry for the iPod, and if it is turned on and connected to the internet it will show up.

    Alos, the serial number will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

    The serial number does not help you track it. You can't track it without Find my iPod. If you did have Find my iPod, I have no doubt the thief disabled it by now. So it's gone.
