HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

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

    You can't.
    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 it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:

  • How do I track my ipod with the serial number? Is that possible?

    Okay, well i lost my ipod touch in my house, and I really need to find it. It might not even be in my house, but I just have to find it. I know I must not sound very responsible but... please I need to find it NOW!

    No. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
    - 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - 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.

  • HT4061 How can i find my ipad with the serial number

    How can I find my iPad with serial number

    I had FindMyPhone installed and activated on MY Lost iPad (now with a new "owner") and it NEVER worked EVER!
    There is/was no such thing as FindMyiPad...ONLY FindMyPhone. It WAS installed (I dont own an iPhone) AND activated! I suspect that unless you have 4G device it is worthless. Actually I  know this for a fact!
    AND, I knew that the new "Owner" had gone online (despite FindMyPhone telling me otherwise and NEVER locking my iPad) because Dropbox on my laptop suddenly had new photos that were taken by the new "owner".
    I am now of the mind that Apple does not want us to find our lost or stolen gadgets. They make money off  us when we replace them. Do what I am going to do: BUY USED!
    So sorry, I feel your pain.

  • We uninstall photoshop cs6 on PC (creative suite design standard). How can we re-install it with our serial number ?

    After a problem with photoshop cs6 (CTRL+T stopped the application with an error message and closed the window), we uninstall it.
    We can't download photoshop cs6 on the adobe site to re-install it.

    If you did not deactivate the software before uninstalling then you should remember to do that in the future should you decide to uninstall again.  If you contact Adobe support thru chat they can help with deactivating the original installation.

  • How to install a new ipod with new serial number

    I have recieved a new ipod with a new serial number. i lost my old cd which installs the ipod onto the comp with the new serial number ect. and ofcourse ints not enough to just have the new ipod updater and itunes. HOW do i install the ipod? anybody? how do i get that program?
    Thanx

    good lord ... the 0x80040707 can sometimes be
    caused by uninstalling software from a different user
    account from which it was originally installed, or
    installing a higher version of the software in a
    different user account. (haven't seen a report
    strongly suggesting this was going on for a while
    with an ipod updater install, but it's been reported
    every now and then.)
    Just so you know, nothing was done with the original installation, on the original user's account (let's call it UserA. My account, UserB was already in existence when all the software was originally installed to the root directory in C:\programs. Both accounts are administrators. This is getting so frustrating that I think I'll bring my external drive that has all the stuff I want to put onto the Ipod, do it in the office, and that will be that!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT3060 How can I check my warranty with 17digits Serial number?

    I found that my Apple wireless keyboard has 17 digit serial number.
    it's located at the back part near power button.
    I tried to put my serial to apple service coverage check website.
    But it doesn't work
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Thank you

    I had the same problem. If you have the order number, just call their support line and use the order number instead. I just di that and they're sending me a new one now.
    Still bizarre that you can't enter the serial number into their support site though, but at least this is a workaround (IF you have the order number).
