How to find my stolen itouch

My Itouch was stolen.  How do I locate it?  can I search by serial number?

The SN will not help you.  Even the "Find my..." function is somewhat useless if the thief has half a brain.
There is no protection for the device itself.  However, you can easily protect your information.  In the future, use a secure password (eight characters) and configure the device to automatically wipe clean after ten consecutive unsuccessful password attempts.

    Thnks

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

    how to find my stolen i phone

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
    If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

    shrikanth2306,
    I do realise your situation. Sorry, as you have mentioned that the location services on your phone was turned off, you may not be able to track your phone using the "Find My Phone" service.
    You did the right thing in reporting the incidient to the proper authorities. I also advise you to contact your local telecommunications agency to request for blocking of the handset.

    If you turned on Find my iPhone, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and choose Find my iPhone. Your iPhone must be connected to a network and use your Apple ID. If the thief changed the Apple ID, there's nothing you can do.
    You can also track it with the Find my iPhone app on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Did you have Find my iPhone enabled on the phone?  If so, see if it can be located on iCloud.com.  If not, there's nothing to do but report the theft to your police and to your carrier.

  • How to find my stolen Iphone 4?

    why can't I find my iphone with IMEI# or serial number..?
    It looks soooo easy to find my stolen Iphone..
    But why the police/Apple/FIDO don't do this??
    They(except the police) just want people buy new one for them??

    Hire a lawyer. This will cost alot of money, assuming you can even find a lawyer that will take your case. Once you do that, your lawyer will have to persuade a judge to issue the order(highly unlikely). So, at the end of the day, you still won't have your phone & you will have spent alot of money.
