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.

  • 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.

  • HOW TO FIND LOST IPOD BY SERIAL NUMBER

    RECENTLY WENT ON VACATION AND MY SON REALIZED HE LOST/ HAD HIS IPOD STOLEN. I FILED A POLICE REPORT BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THERE A WAY I CAN TRACK THE IPOD IF I HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER.

    There is not a way.  Apple doen't provide this kind of service.
    Find my iPod Touch - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be connected to WiFi and not having been restored by the finder.

  • 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 locate ipod with serial number

    i bought a new ipod and before i got to register it, it was stolen. can i locate it with just the serial number?

    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.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.

    - 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.

  • How do I find my ipod touch serial number on icloud?

    I am trying to find out how to find the serial number for my ipod touch 4th generation on icloud. I lost my ipod and I've been using the "find my device" tool on icloud but it keeps on saying it cannot be located. I then clicked on the "notify me when you find it" tool and it asks me for my contact number but doesn't let me type in my number. I'm frustrated and I can't even talk to a live person and that's making me even more frustrated.

  • Find ipod with serial number

    My son's iPod Touch was stolen, along with a bunch of other stuff.  We've used the iCloud to try to locate it, but it hasn't been able to find it.  It may just be because the battery is dead, but I assume also that it could have been factory reset which I would guess would disable it from the iCloud.
    But I was able to get the serious number through applesupport.com.  Is there anyway to track it using only the serial number, if it's been charged and reconnected by someone to iCloud or iTunes, or otherwise?

    Unfortunately there is no way to track the device using the serial number.  Using the Find my iPhone feature within iCloud you can set up a message with a number to call you if someone locates it and connects to a wi-fi network.  Sorry to hear that the ipod was stolen. 

  • How do I find my iPod's serial number if it's been stolen?

    My iPod video was stolen two weeks ago, and the police told me that, if they somehow recover my iPod, it'll make it much easier for them to return it to me if they have the serial number. Unfortunately, I've had the iPod for several years so I don't have the original packaging or the receipt anymore, nor is the iPod registered in my Support Profile. I know that, if I had it, I could hook it up to my computer and the serial number would show up in iTunes, but I obviously can't do that. However, I have obviously hooked the iPod up to my iTunes before, so I was wondering if there was any way to go back into my iTunes history and retrieve the serial number that way somehow. Any ideas?

    I'm doing this in iTunes 11 on Windows.
    So, in iTunes, if you don't have the menu bar showing, hit ctrl+b.
    Now, make sure you have something to write with handy, as you're going to need to be fast.
    When the menu bar pops up, hold down ctrl and click Help and then About iTunes (hold down the ctrl button the entire time).
    A small screen will pop up with some scrolling information, a couple seconds in you'll see 'iPod S/N:'
    Write down the list of letters and numbers that comes after that, as that is the serial number of the last iPod that was plugged and synced with iTunes.
    You can repeat this process several times to be sure you get all the characters.
    You do NOT need to have your iPod plugged into iTunes to acces this information, the only necessary thing is that your iPod has been plugged into and synced with iTunes at least once (which you have, so good). For posterity: if it's never been plugged in, and you don't have the box, you might be out of luck.

  • 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.

    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.

    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!
