What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • Can you locate stolen iPad with just the serial number

    My iPad 3 was stolen, can you locate or disable with just the serial number?

    I am afraid you can't, you need Find My iPad.

  • I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I have the serial number so is there any way Apple/iCoud can help trace it when the thief logs into Apple's website /store etc? Thanks

    I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I know the serial number so is there any hope the thief can be tracked when he or she logs in to the Apple store etc? thanks

    iOS devices cannnot be tracked or located with just the serial number. Unless you shared your Apple ID and password with anyone, then your account cannot be accessed at the iTunes Store.

  • My ipad was stolen however i have the serial number...is there any way i can see if someone is using it?

    My ipad was stolen but I have the serial number.
    How can I track it and how can I register my new one?

    If they haven't already wiped it and started over, and you activated Find my iPhone on your iPad, you might be able to track it.  If you did not activate Find my iPhone, you will not be able to track it.  Apple will not help you.  But, you should immediately go and change your Apple ID password, and any other passwords you use for accounts like Twitter, Facebood, Mail, Apps you make purchases with, like the Starbucks Mobile App, etc.

    Hello Jesslocko,
    Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
    2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
    3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
    4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
    5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
    6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings

    This is a user-to-user support site not a place to reach techs. You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if you can do an out-of-warranty replacement or you can use a 3rd party repair site.

  • How can I find MAC address based on the serial number of a missing IpodTouch 4th Gen?

    My Ipod touch 4th Generation is lost.  If I can find the MAC address, the Univeristy can help locate the device.  I have the serial number, is there any way I can find the MAC address based on the serial number?  I did not install a third party app on the IPod to help find it and it is not registered on iCloud, but I used it on iCloud.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Did you turn on FindMyiPd is Settings>iCloud and is the iPod connected to wifi? That is all that is needed for for Apple FindMyiPhone
    Maybe Apple can find the MAC address

  • My i pod 5 got stolen and i have the serial number can i track it down?

    My i pod got stolen and i have the serial number and people have said that you can track it down by that.

    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 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.

    If your iPod was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
    iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
    If you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.

  • I am trying to activated a brand new iPhone 4s but the serial number isn't working. Suggestions?

    I am trying to activated a brand new iPhone 4s but the serial number isn't working. Suggestions?

    Are you getting any error message or other data that helps to understand why the SR # is not working?  Sometimes when entering a serial number a letter or number is entered incorrectly because a 1 looks like an l or an s looks like a 5.  Make certain that this type of an entry error is not your problem.
