IPad stolen use serial number to locate

I Had my new iPad pad stolen, had not set up iCloud on it but is there a way to track it by serial number,

No.
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
Stolen iPad Database
http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

My ipad was stolen. how to block this stolen ipad by using serial number?

my ipad was stolen. how to block this stolen ipad by using serial number？

You can't. If you had set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then you could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
Apart from that you should report it to the police, and as a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Is it possible that using serial number find location of Ipod?

I lost my ipod touch in Korea last 2 weeks. How can I do for find out my Ipod? Is it possible that using serial number find location of Ipod?

If you had the Find My iPhone application installed and location services turned on, you can track the iPod touch, but you can not use the serial number to track it.

I lost my iphone, gps is off and its now switched off, can i use serial number to find it?

i lost my iphone tonite i tried to check it with icloud but it showed offline, i rang many times but the phone now is switched off, is there any possible to use serial number to locate my iphone?

For Find My iPhone to work, several things need to happen: the iPhone needs to be connected to the internet, the iPhone needs to not have been wiped. I believe it will turn on Location Services if it receives a Find My iPhone request, but I am not sure.
While the phone is off (or your software and settings are wiped), it can do nothing to help you find it.

Finding stolen iPad using serial number

My iPad 1 was stolen in September. I tried using MobileMe, but because it was the simple WiFi version, MobileMe couldn't find it. I had an unlock password set up, so the thief probably did a full reset of the iPad to use it. In any case, when everything moved to iCloud, my iPad did not follow and I was told by a tech that it won't, so I have no way of using MobileMe to find my iPad now.
That being said, can't Apple notify me if someone tries to register an iPad with my serial number? Parenthetically, I get 2-10 emails a week about trying to reset my Apple ID password; is it possible the thief is trying to get my ID? (I'll go ask that Q in the appropriate forum later.)
Cheers,
d

Hi Dave, thanks.
You'd think that since Apple automatically 'sees' the serial number when the device is plugged in, they could use this info. Oh well.
And yeah, don't you worry, all my passwords were changed that very evening. I was on a plane for eight hours after I noticed my iPad wasn't in my bag and I was paranoid that I'd land and find everything had been hacked! But this continuous stream of Apple ID emails is still making me nervous, even if it does try to reassure you with the "If you didn't ask to reset this password, don't worry!" message. When you get two a day daily for two weeks, it does make you worry, ok Apple?!
Never getting another iPad ever again... too much anxiety and hassle and no ROI, even before it was stolen! Sticking to my iPhone and BOOKS!
Cheers!

DETECT LOCATION OF IPOD BY USING SERIAL NUMBER

Recentli my ipod 5th gen was being stolen. Can i know is there any way to find location of my ipod by using serial number?

A litle more info:
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Can the Find My iPhone app use a serial number to locate lost iPod Touch 4g

I lost my iPod Touch 4g and want to find with the Find my iPhone app. I'm using my brother's iPhone 4s to locate it. Can I use a serial number to locate. I lost it in school (in the Administrations office) so I know it won't be stolen. I had them search the whole building and found nothing. My school has Wi-Fi. I got the serial number from iTunes back up.

The find my iDevice works through iCloud. What you needed to have done before it went missing was setup an iCloud account on the device, then enable the find my device slider setting to "ON" under that account's settings.
If you did not do that, it is not trackable.
There is no way to track it by serial number.
Also, in order to be trackable it has to be powered on and connected to a data connection. A wifi-only device like an iPod Touch powers off the wifi radio when running on the battery, so if it has gone into sleep mode, it would not be trackable until or unless woken up by someone so it could re-acquire a data connection with a wifi network.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

Used imac craigslist is there a way to see if it's stolen by serial number?

I don't believe Apple maintains such a list; however, you can check the serial number to see if it is covered by a warranty or if that has expired, but that's about it.

How to get MAC Address of a stolen laptop by using Serial number?

Hi my Lenovo G560 laptop was stolen on 17/04/13. I have the serial number. In order to trace the laptop, I need the MAC address. Unfortunately I don't know the MAC address of my stolen laptop. My question is, is it possible to get the MAC address by using serial number?
Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxx
Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

hi Subrahmanya,
Sorry to hear about your trouble. Unfortunately, the only way to get the MAC address is to run a query on the unit (physically or or remotely). Using the serial number to query information on the system will list the devices that are included on the unit (this doesn't include the MAC address).
Regards,
neokenchi

My iphone was stolen, when i tracked my phone its already offline so without hesitation i deleted it. Is there any other way to track it using serial number? or make the phone good as a dead iphone?

Sorry, there is no way to track your phone. Call your carrier, & if they offer blacklisting, have them blacklist your phone.
Since you're running iOS 7.0. the phone is useless to anyone but you, as it cannot be re-activated without knowing your Apple ID/Password.

Can I know that the accounts used in the iPad through the serial number?

My son teen I want to know what are the applications that have been downloaded, for I expect he uses the Apple Store account in another load and then deletes applications.
What are your suggestions for dealing with this issue?

You can't check apps by the devices serial number. Even if he deletes apps, they will still be in the purchased list. Ask to see the device. Tap the App Store. Tap the purchased tab and you'll be able to see the list of apps that have been downloaded to the iPad. If he removed any, they will still show in the list with a cloud next to them.
