Is there any way Apple could trace my lost ipod with the help of its serial number ?

unfortunately my ipod might have been stolen, there has to be a way apple can trace it with its serial number rite? all products have a unique serial number cant there be a way to trace where it might be under use, what IP address it was last connected to? Ive installed find my ipod/iphone app and activated the application BUT after updating i realized that the settings for it have changed and you have to reactivate the find my ipod option from the icloud setting or something which is SAD! come on apple can obviously help out on this ! or atleast put up a portal for users to trace their product if such a situation arises. I might not be a computer wizard but im sure there can be a way to trace it with its unique serial code.
I hope apple can do something here!

There is no way to trace your iPod by serial number. Only via the Find My iPod service can an iPod be located, and if you didn't reactivate it, or the finder/thief deactivated the service (or the iPod is off or not connected to WiFi), then tracing your iPod is impossible. Contact the police, if you haven't already done so, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

so basically i want to know whether or not apple could do something to find it

There is no way to remotely track or disable an iPod nano, either for you or Apple. As it can't connect to the Internet on its own, Find my iPhone isn't available for it.

Is there any way i can find my lost ipod if i have the app but it doesnt have wifi?

I have lost my ipod touch and i have the app on it but i was wondering if there was any way i can find it or lock it without it having wifi?

Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost your wallet.
- 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

Turn it into the police.
Your friend should not keep someone elses iphone without making every attempt to fget it to the rightful owner.

Is there any way to delete duplicate files en mas within the new itunes program?

I've just installed the new itunes program on my laptop. I used the scan for media option to find music. Problem is almost every entry and there's several hundred of them is duplicated and in some cases triplicated within the itunes media library.
Question ... Is there any way to delete duplicated files en mas withing the itunes library folder?
Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to do it individually as that may take days.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Is there any way I could use my own apple ID to buy in-app purchases even if I used my aun'ts apple ID to install the app?

I have an Apple Account registered in the U.S & no credit card linked (since im under 18). I always use my Aunt's account because I buy in-app purchases and other stuffs in the app store, I also used her account to download the app I play but she changed her password and gifted me a gift card to redeem in my own apple ID...
But whenever I wanted to buy something from the game it asks for her password and not mine, I changed the logged in apple account in the iTunes & Apple Store hoping not to re-install the app because I achieved so much in the game..
Is there any way I could use my own apple ID to buy in-app purchases even if I used my aun'ts apple ID to install the app?

No, all apps are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account will be able to make in-app purchases within them - you would need to delete the game (which would also delete your progress/settings in it) and buy/download it with your account to be able to make in-app purchases with your own account.

My apple ID was disabled so i had to make a new apple ID, But the disabled apple ID had all my games on it. Is there any way we could enable my disabled account

My apple ID was disabled so i had to make a new apple ID, But the disabled apple ID had all my games on it. Is there any way we could enable my disabled account?????????????????????????

If not this:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
Otherwise, contact iTunes:

I recently had a shuffle stolen and wondered if there was any way apple can trace it if someone else tries to sync or use the ipod?

No, manufacturers generally do not track people's stolen property. The shuffle has no means to connect to the Internet so you can't track it yourself. Thankfully it's only $49.

It depends on how you are using your iPad. If you are streaming videos or music, or playing interactive games which require internet access a lot, you may not get a full 9 hours from your battery. In addition, have you closed unused apps? To do so, double tap your home button to bring up the Task Bar (most recently used apps). Hold your finger on any of the apps on the Task Bar until they all start to jiggle and you'll see a sign on the upper left corner of each app. Tough the to fully close them.
Finally, location services, push for mail and it's frequency can have a dramatic effect on battery usage. Turning them off, as well as not using your screen at 100% will help reduce battery usage.

HT1937 i lost my iphone 4 is there any possible i could trace the location of the phone?

i lost my iphone 4 is there any possible i could trace the location of the phone?

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

Hi Jayliin,
Take it to the Apple Store where you purchased it from. It is still under warranty. They will replace it if necessary.
Cheers,
