My Ipod was stolen how can I track it down without having to use apps?

Can I use my serial number that is on the box?

No app is required. 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.
- 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.

My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without having to wait fo rthe serial number to come up

My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without have to wait for the serial number?

The serial number will not help you track it at all.
IF you set up fond my ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been restored by the thief, tehn you may be able to get an approx street address from icloud/find my ipod.
Otherwise, there is no way to track it at all.

My ipod has been stolen and i may need to get a new one i do not know what to do please help!

Find my iPhone is relatively useless when it comes to recovering a stolen device. Anyone with a bit of know how can defeat it in a matter of minutes. It's really meant to help a person find a misplaced device.
Presume that any and all data and info on that device is compromised, do as Illass says, change any and all passwords to every account or site you accessed on the device and write it off as gone.

My computer was stolen, how can I track down a serial number?

Hi All-
I'm in need of some assistance. My Mac was stolen during an apartment burglary. It was a gift from a family member who doesn't have any type of receipt. I apparently didn't register my Mac either, my iPad and iPod yes, my stolen laptop of course not. My insurance company is requesting the serial number or some sort of proof of ownership. Any ideas how I can track down the serial number?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Have the family member who made the gift contact the place of purchase if possible. Most business records of computer sales have info like serial numbers

There is no way to prevent anyone from restoring the iPod for use but that also erases the iPod.

If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Then contact the police, giving them any location information you get.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

My ipad was stolen, how do I track it on icloud?

My ipad was stolen, how do i track it on icloud?

If you setup the Find My iPhone app, (This works with iPad too) with iCloud, then all you would need to do is log in to iCloud.com and it should find it.
I think that if they have reset the device it might not show up on the map. If this is the case, contact Apple support and they might be able to help you.

The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.
