I have found an iPod shuffle. I know its serial number. How do I find its owner?

I have found an iPod shuffle and so know the serial number. How do I find its owner?

I found an Ipod Shuffle and I called Apple Support desk to return it to the rightfull owner. I offered them to send my contact details to the owner. And then the owner can contact me if he likes. They refused to do this as it is a privacy issue. They advised me to bring it to the local police who can send the request to a special e-mail address of Apple. But I know that normally the police won't bother. And Apple will like this probably, as the previous owner will buy a new Apple device.

    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 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.

  • I lost my ipod but i know my serial number to who should I reporte it ?

    I lost my ipod and I don't know what to do ... I know my serial number. To who should I report it to be able to find it back ? Plz help!!!

    Hey fashion fix97, Sorry to hear you lost your iPod. Knowing the serial number is of little use. Apple will do nothing to help find your iPod. Report the iPod lost / stolen to the police. Try looking at lost and founds if lost in a public area. You'll have to go physically look for iPod like it was a lost wallet. To protect your personal information and limit a thief's access, change all account info and passwords associated with this iPod. Good luck. Cheers.

    Assuming you have Windows...
    Googling "Belarc Advisor" points to

    Run that and it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about the insides of your computer, including software serial numbers.
    Takes a while to run: could be 10-15 mins. Just leave it to complete its job.

  • HT4061 someone stole my iphone and i dont have the serial number. how can i find my iPhone?

    someone stole my iphone and i don't know how to use the find my iphone app.  i don't have the serial number. can somone tell me how to find my iphone?

    Having a serial number won't help you track it.
    If you set up and activate find my iphone on your iphone, then go to icloud.com and sign in to track your phone.
    That is the only way to track your phone.
    contact your cellphone provider and local authority.

  • 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.

  • My 3rd generation ipod has been stolen i have serial number how can i track the location?

    my ipod has been stolen i have the serial number how can i find the location of the ipod?

    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order                                                        
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

    The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered.

  • I have a Serial Number, but i cannot find the right program

    Hello,
    I bought 3 years ago the Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium for Students (Mac). I am located in Turkey when it is importend.
    2 days ago i formatted my Mac. Now i am trying to reinstall my Creative Suite. I downloaded the program from the adobe website, because i couldn't found DVD. But program doesn't accept my Serial Number, it doesn't match.
    I am also not sure about the Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium, but it is written on my registered Adobe account, so also the Serial Number
    How can i find the right download for my Serial Number?

    Adobe might be able to say, but most people here are not Adobe employees.  Try contacting Adobe thru chat.  You will likely need to share your account information with them in order to determine which program you might own.
