IPod Nano Lost Serial Number

On my Mac, somehow my 2GB Nano had lost it's serial number. As a result it was not possible to update or restore the unit. I needed to restore the unit because it was not functioning correctly.
Interestingly I opened Windows on my Mac (Boot Camp install), where neither iTunes nor the iPod have been installed before and it went through the new install process. I entered the serial number and it reformatted and installed perfectly. It works as new on WIndows.
I returned to the Mac operating system and still the serial number was not recognised and it would not restore. I really want the unit to work on the Mac OS as this is where all my music is stored.
Any ideas how to re-enter the serial number?

How would the owner be located when their first name
is known, along with the serial/registeration
number?
One of our visitors found a lost iPod Nano in our
yard, and we are trying to find the owner.
What other steps should we take?
Thank you for contributing pertinent info to
help!

    Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

  • IPod Nano Recall- Serial Number'd Box

    My question is, is the box you recive connected to the serial number of the ipod nano you requested it with becuase i have two ipod nano 1st's and i have applied for the box for the first one but i think ive lost it now, could i use the box for the first ipod to send the second ipod nano and still recive a replacement.
    Thanks

    Your repair ticket is linked to your device's serial number. I wouldn't reccomend sending in the other unit in that box. You could always call the support line and see if they OK it.

    If you are unsure I would Apple and ask first. 1-800-MY-APPLE. My guess is that it should be just fine. Just leave a note in the package indicating the difference in serial numbers as extra precaution.

    Is there a way to track a lost ipod with the serial number?

    Here are the Find my iPod instructions.   iCloud - Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
    Apple do not have any form of service to find lost products.   But if it is lost, you can make a claim to your household insurance company or if it is stolen, report it to the police and send the report details to your insurance company.

  • How to look for my ipod using the serial number

    Looking for my stolen ipod using my serial number. Where do I go to do this?

    You do not. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
    - 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.
    - 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

  • Is there anyway to track my ipod based on serial number if find my iphone isn't one?

    Is there anyway to track my ipod based on serial number if find my iphone isn't one?

    f you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID.  Then click the FindMyiPod icon.  This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

  • HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

    2nd Generation ipod Touch

    Hello, Tommyty,
    I am sorry you have lost your iPod.  You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically.  Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you. 
    Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
    Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
    Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
    No.
    Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and  "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
    If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number.  Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
    Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number.  This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
    Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
    "Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you. 
    If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it.  In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
    Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
      • you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
      • someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
      • the police may find it after you have reported it stolen

    No, there is not.
    IF you had set up find my ipod BEFORE it was lost AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi, THEN you may be able to find an apporximate street address.
    Otherwise you cannot track it.
