My ipod has recently gone missing. Any way I can find the serial number still?

Apple asks for my serial number to help with support for my ipod. Except I cannot get my serial number, because I cannot locate my ipod.

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • So my phone was stolen while I was in France and it was in airplane mode. Any way I can report the serial number and possibly get it back?

    I can't use Find My iPhone clearly because there was no internet connected, I'm back in the states now, I was just hoping since the serial number is unique that I could report it and if it pops up anywhere that I could possibly get my phone back. I can't contact Apple Support because it's outside the 1 year service coverage.

    The serial number is indeed unique.  But neither Apple nor any other agency (except possibly your local law enforcement) tracks these.
    Here is how to report it:

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod via a paid subscripton to the now discontinued MobileMe ins in Settings>Maile>MobileMe 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

    I recently fixed my computer and need to reinstall logic pro 9 but I can't find the booklet with my serial number, is there any other way I can get the serial number for logic pro 9 (box)?

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

  • Before I buy Adobe software from a private party, is there a way I can verify the serial number is valid?

    Before I buy Adobe software from a private party, is there a way I can verify the serial number is valid?

    No.
    Other than contacting Adobe Customer Service.
    Unfortunately, that's the risk you run with buying pre-owned software from 3rd party vendors. You have no idea if it's pirated.

  • I lost my ipod touch. Is there any way I can use the gps capabiltites it has and track it down?

    My ipod is like my little PDA and im kinda lost with out it. Also i have a texting app on it and thats my only way of communication so its really important for me to find it.

    The only way you can track an iOS device is if you had an application on it called "MobileMe - Find my iPhone", which works for any iOS device version 4.0 and above.  By logging in at www.me.com and signing in with your AppleID can you locate a device that is turned on and the WI-Fi connection turned on as well.  Sorry to hear about your loss by the way.

    I purchased an iPod shuffle for my niece and nephew last year for Christmas.  My nephew's has come up missing and I have strong reason to believe it was stolen.  Amazon cannot give me the serial number and I used my iTunes to put music on it initially.  Is there a place I can find the serial number on my iTunes and can it be tracked to different computers if someone else is using it?  My nephew no longer has the packaging.

    Type "ipod serial number" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the article explaining how to find the serial number.

  • I have an iPod 4.2.1 version and recently when I try to download an app it is either incompatible or reuires a newer version of OpenGLS. is there any way I can update the software I have because I literally cant download a single app. Thank you.

    No, you can't update your 2G iPast past iOS 4.2.1. The graphics hardware on the 2G does not support the latest Open GLS.
    Yes, there are not that many apps that still works with a 2G with 4.2.1.

  • HT1212 for an iTouch 4 my young daughter thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?

    My 7 year old daughter has an iPod Touch 4 and she used the wrong password too many times.  She thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?  We are traveling this week so don't have access to the serial number or the computer that was used to originally set up her iTouch.  I don't even know what operating system it's on and can only see the home screen.

    Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
    When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
    The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
    If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
