How to locate or track stolen ipad using serial number..?

the find my iphone is not turned on.. is there any ways to track or locate it?

If you did not turn on the find my iPhone feature, then there is nothing at all to be done ( other than change your passwords).
It is just like a lost wallet or car keys.

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!

You cannot find it unless you set it up to be located before it was lost.
If it was stolen, report it to law enforcement.

How to track stolen laptops with Serial Number?

Hi friends, my laptop is stolen two weeks back from my home. Serial No. CBxxxxxxxx
Plz give me a suggetion to track that laptop.
Moderator Note; s/n edited
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.
Regards,
neokench

Track stolen Ipad by using it's Itune registered email address

I had my new Ipad stolen within months of my purchase, not even have to chance to try out all features including the Icloud. So I couldn't track it by using the "Find My Iphone" apps.
Wondering if I could get notified (or how) if anyone is registering my Ipad with a new email address for Itune. So if the thieve "smart" enough to use the email address which is the same he registered for any other social network, I can track him down.

How can we track the lost iPad by Serial number or IMEI, MEID?

Hello
I lost my iPad Air WiFi CELL 128GB Silver ATT (No ATT Service) and accidentally did not turn lost my iPad and also erased my iPad and now I could not use find my iPad any more. Do we have any web site or app to track the iPad by serial number or IMEI, or MEID? Anyone please help.

Sorry to hear it but unfortunately it can't be tracked this way, you can only have At&t block service to it and submit the serials to law enforcement in case it was stolen and somebody tries to take it to a pawn shop. See Apple's support article:
If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your missing device
If you didn't turn on Find My iPhone before your device was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate your device. However, you can use these steps to help protect your data:
Change your Apple ID password. By changing your Apple ID password you can prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your missing device.
Change the passwords for other internet accounts on your device. This could include email accounts, Facebook, or Twitter.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement. Law enforcement might request the serial number of your device. Find your serial number:
On the original box or receipt
On My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) if you registered your device with your Apple ID
Report your lost or stolen device to your wireless carrier. Your carrier can disable the account, preventing phone calls, texts, and data use.
Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.

DETECT LOCATION OF IPOD BY USING SERIAL NUMBER

Recentli my ipod 5th gen was being stolen. Can i know is there any way to find location of my ipod by using serial number?

A litle more info:
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
