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.

    hi Subrahmanya,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Currently, the only method AFAIK to track a laptop is via the Anti Theft Technology. It's a lojack for laptops that's embedded on the motherboard. When this chip is activated with the help of Absolute CompuTrace then they should be able to track the unit. Otherwise, there's no technology yet to track the laptop via the serial number.
    I recommend you have it reported to the local authorities so that you can claim the unit back once it's recovered.

  • 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.

    There is no app to install.
    If you failed to enable the "Find My iPhone" feature, then there is no way to track the device.

  • Stolen ipod, with serial number. how do i find it?

    my friend stole my ipod. but she wont up to it,anyway i could track it on my computer with the serial number? so i can prove its at her house.
    she has stolen mny ipods in the past. from other people.

    "my friend stole my ipod. but she wont up to it,anyway i could track it on my computer with the serial number? "
    No.  The serial number does nothing at all to help you locate it.
    IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND the thief has not restored it, then you may be able to get an approximate street address from icloud.
    Otherwise, there is no way to track it.

    How to find my stolen IPhone if I didn't sign up in FIND MY iPHONE?

    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!

  • Finding stolen iPad using serial number

    My iPad 1 was stolen in September. I tried using MobileMe, but because it was the simple WiFi version, MobileMe couldn't find it. I had an unlock password set up, so the thief probably did a full reset of the iPad to use it. In any case, when everything moved to iCloud, my iPad did not follow and I was told by a tech that it won't, so I have no way of using MobileMe to find my iPad now.
    That being said, can't Apple notify me if someone tries to register an iPad with my serial number? Parenthetically, I get 2-10 emails a week about trying to reset my Apple ID password; is it possible the thief is trying to get my ID? (I'll go ask that Q in the appropriate forum later.)
    Cheers,
    d

    Hi Dave, thanks.
    You'd think that since Apple automatically 'sees' the serial number when the device is plugged in, they could use this info. Oh well.
    And yeah, don't you worry, all my passwords were changed that very evening. I was on a plane for eight hours after I noticed my iPad wasn't in my bag and I was paranoid that I'd land and find everything had been hacked! But this continuous stream of Apple ID emails is still making me nervous, even if it does try to reassure you with the "If you didn't ask to reset this password, don't worry!" message. When you get two a day daily for two weeks, it does make you worry, ok Apple?!
    Never getting another iPad ever again... too much anxiety and hassle and no ROI, even before it was stolen! Sticking to my iPhone and BOOKS!
    Cheers!

  • 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 hardware configuration via serial number

    I need to know the model number for the hard drive in my powerbook. The powerbook won't power on at the moment. Is there any way I can look up the serial number and find out what hardware was installed in it? It is a 100 GB drive and the computer was custom ordered.
    Thanks!

    HD: My guess is that unless you are truly expert and have a comprehensive set of specialized miniature tools at your disposal, there is almost no chance that you will succeed in what you propose to do. I suggest that before you tackle the mechanical parts inside your failed drive, you consider swapping the controller board on the outside of it. A failure of that board can render a drive just as inert as a mechanical failure inside it, without disturbing the data stored on the platters at all. A failure of the internal mechanicals, if that's what has occurred, is more likely to have irretrievably destroyed some or all of your data, so that you couldn't recover it even if you were successful in the extremely delicate task of removing the platters and placing them in a new case. If there has been no mechanical failure, replacing a failed controller board with a good one may restore all your data to accessibility without jeopardizing its integrity at all in the process. Changing the board would be a much less intrusive and far safer first step toward recovering your data than tearing down the drive's mechanicals, and it might prove to be all you need to do.
