I lost my itouch (4th gen.) on Thursday at 6pm, and I would like as much feedback on ways to track it. How do I retrieve the serial number by launching itunes?

- 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.
- 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

  • I have 1 ipod but  have diffrent acounts. my computer is setup for my ipod 4th gen that i had stolen and i would like to sync all of that music to my older nano. is there a way to do that without wiping out all my old songs that were on my nano?

    so i have one ipod and it is a 2005 ipod nano. i have plugged into my computer and i cant get to the music on it. i am trying to burn it onto a disk or even a diffrent folder on my computer so i can just have select songs on my ipod. the reason i have 2 diffrent accounts is because i made a new account for my ipod 4th generation and it got stolen. so now i have my older ipod. is there a way to get it onto my computer with out wiping all my old songs on it?

    iPods do not work with "accounts."  They work with your iTunes library.  You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod.  One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time.  iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
    However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content.  Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to?  If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library.  Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library.  You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
    If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

    - Have you tried resetting the iPOd:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connec the iPod to its syncing computer and try to restore the iPod.
    - The if still same. place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I've lost my iPhone 5 How can I have the serial number of the phone Information to be deleted

    Hi Mohammad,
    I'm sorry that you have lost your phone.
    If you need to erase the personal information on your phone remotely, here are the steps to do that:
    iCloud: Erase your device remotely
    If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information.
    Important:   Before you erase all the information on your device, try to locate it or play a sound on it. After you erase the information on an iOS device, you won’t be able to use Find My iPhone to locate it or play a sound. You may still be able to use Find My iPhone to locate your Mac after you erase it.
    If you erase your iOS device and then find it, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see the user guide for your device in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.
    To erase your device remotely, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on the device before it was lost.
    I hope this information helps ...

    Hello franciscor,
    Sadly, there isn't much else Apple can do for you in this situation. However, I can tell you that there are a few other methods that can be used to retrieve your iPod's serial number other than from off the unit itself. Check out this Apple support document for more information. Hope it helps.

  • I lost my ipad today is there a way you can know where it is using the serial number?

    i lost my ipad today and i really want to get it back, i notice that people can find their ipads by using their computers? I want to know how it works and if i can track my ipad with the serial number?

    i notice that people can find their ipads by using their computers
    Unless you installed the Find My iPad app before it was lost then it's not possible to find it with a computer or the iPad's serial number.

  • How do I add the serial number for a lost iPad"

    My iPad was lost due to a theft. I have the serial number and would like to add it to iCloud. However, I cannot figure out how to do that.Can someone explain the procedure as I am at witts end trying to figure it out.
    Thank you.

    You cannot add it after the fact. You get it into iCloud be activating Find My iPhone while you still have the device in your hands.

  • HT1267 someone has found my lost Ipad3 and changed he name.  How do i find the serial number?

    I left my Ipad (3 the new one) on an airplane a couple weeks ago.  How do I remotely find the serial number to register it as lost?  Can the person who picked it up access it even though I've remotely locked it?

    No, they cannot access the data on your iPad, though they can wipe it, which would also wipe the passcode.
    The iPad should be registered to you, so go to http://supportprofile.apple.com and that will tell you the serial number.
