HT4061 if i report the serial number of my stolen iPod, will it stop someone from deleting my info and/or stop them from downloading a new apple account on it?

my ipod was stolen and I am trying to track it down but it either has no wifi or it's off or someone deleted my account from it, I need help asap

No. It won't do anything. You must have setup Find My Phone otherwise there is nothing you can do.
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:
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.

  • How do I find the serial number of a stolen Ipod touch?

    Unfortunately, we lost the serial number of our touch - now it was stolen. How can we find the serial number - I thought it would be registered under my iTunes-account... Any ideas? Thanks.

    You can get the serial number in iTunes by heading to Edit->Preferences.  Then when the window comes up, click the Devices tab and hover your mouse over one the iPod's backup.  It should then display it's serial #.
    Or look in the places described here if at all possible.

  • How do I find out the serial number of my stolen iPod Touch?

    I went on a skiing trip to Boston a few weeks ago (I'm from the UK, hehehe) and on the last day my iPod Touch, along with 4 others in my year, went missing from all of our hotel rooms. Me and my friends thought it was a bit of a coincidence that we were all in the youngest year group but we were sure that our iPods had been stolen when a completely wiped out (resetted/restored) iPod had been found in one of the rooms that didn't belong to any of us as it didn't match the size (8GB ect). The Police were involved at some point as well but I don't really know what happened after that;S Anyway... I need the serial number to claim for the insurance. I appreciate any help:)

    Sorry to hear about such behavior in our country and that it was aimed at visitors.
    Did you register the iPod with Apple when you purchased/activated it?  If so, Apple will have the serial number in the system.  They may not be willing to release that information to you without really solid proof that you are who you say you are.  But they will with the police.
    Try:
    http://www.apple.com/contact
    and see if someone on there can point you in the right direction to get the serial number.

  • Is the serial number of my stolen iPod Touch stored in my icloud account?

    My icloud account was set up by a friend that is not available to ask this question,  My 3rd generation iPod Touch was stolen.  I think the find my phone has been activated but the device has not shown up as having been connected to wifi since it has been gone.  I just purchased a new 5th generation, but I am afraid if I register it under the same icloud account it will delete the missing iPod.  I haven't been able to locate the serial number of the missing iPod in my icloud account.  I am assuming it was put there when my friend set the icloud account up for me,  Should I just open a second icloud account for the new iPod Touch?  All of my music is backed up to this computer so I haven't lost that.  Any insight or suggestions will be appreciated.

    - To find serial; number
    - iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
    - However your concern "but I am afraid if I register it under the same icloud account it will delete the missing iPod.  " is unfounded. It will not delete the missing iPod. Just use the same iCloud ID.  To avoid confusion make sure the name of the device is different than the missing one

  • How do I find the serial number of my stolen macbook?

    I recently had stolen my macbook, macbook pro and iphone....and other than retrieving the MEID number of my Iphone, I did not have the serial numbers of the macbooks listed anywhere and I also bought these used online so I did not have a receipt with the serial number either.   I did not have an icloud, any retrieving software, nor itunes.  I did though bring them into the apple store after buying them and had them cleared for my own use and also listed them as devices on my apple account.  After discussing this matter with apple and checking my devices, it came to our attention that my device list had fell off my account due to the person who stole them had cleared them with apple, which automatically puts the macbook devices onto a new account.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I need the serial numbers for the police report.

    I've installed Photoshop Elements 12 from a CD onto my PC laptop. I'm thinking about buying a tablet, so was wondering if (a) can I install on a 2nd device (b) can I use the serial number online as I won't beable to install from a CD, and (c) will I beable to choose a mac, after the initial was on a PC???? Thanks Martin

    A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen).  If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well.  I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question.  Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

  • So my phone was stolen while I was in France and it was in airplane mode. Any way I can report the serial number and possibly get it back?

    I can't use Find My iPhone clearly because there was no internet connected, I'm back in the states now, I was just hoping since the serial number is unique that I could report it and if it pops up anywhere that I could possibly get my phone back. I can't contact Apple Support because it's outside the 1 year service coverage.

    The serial number is indeed unique.  But neither Apple nor any other agency (except possibly your local law enforcement) tracks these.
