My sons ipod was stolen.  i have serial number.  how do i get it located?

Hi.   My 6 yeolds iPod touch we stolen this morning.  I have serial number.  How can I get it back??

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.

    my ipod has been stolen i have the serial number how can i find the location of the ipod?

    - 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.

    Hi pipper88,
    You can reinstall CS3 and enter the serial number to activate the software.

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Lost itouch have serial number how do i track it

    HI have lost I touch do have serial number how do i track it

    - Unless you had alreay set up the FindMyiPod feature. wfi is on and other conditions ar met,you can't track your iPod.  The SN will only idenity the iPod if it is found. Apple will not help find the iPod.
    - Report it to the police and the change the passwords for all accounts on the iPod.

  • Stolen ipod on thursday. i have serial number and all other info

    My ipod was 'stolen' this thursday at school. Today is tuesday. Is it not possible to track my ipod's current ip address with the serial number and such? And I did reported the missing ipod to my school. What else can I do? I can report it to the police. But how do I do that? And its rather late so I don't know if anyone will listen now. I'm already a couple of days late in reporting so the chances of me not ever finding my ipod is bigger. I also plan on contacting the Apple media helpline (408)-974-2042 and ipod technical support (800)-275-2273 tomorrow morning. Also, is the same serial number in my receipt engraved into my ipod?

    I'll do exactly what you've said. To report it to the police. I will then have them call ipod technical support (800)-275-2273 because apparently if I give them my ipod's serial number AND someone happened to plug it into a computer, they can find it. I'm basing it all upon from a site that I read which is (  http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-nano-1g-2g/165385-how-can-i-report-my-stolen-ipod -apple.html ) Even if the information was changed, as long as I have the original box, which I still do, perhaps I can do something about it C: I'm very hopeful. It wouldn't and it really isn't the end of the world if I don't find it. But I want to try my hardest in finding it.So I'll report it to the city police station near my school. Thanks for your time!

  • Can a person determine if an Ipod was reregestered with same serial number

    My son lost his Ipod 3 weeks ago.  We did go online to find my Ipod, and did ask to have it lock, play a sound, and display a message that this ipod is lost and a reward is offered for the return.  It still has not turned up, but we are still looking for it.  After reviewing the discussion boards, I am wondering if we can tell if a person reset it to the factory settings and reregistered it or are using the same serial number under a different name.

    See if the iPod is still listed in your support profile.
    My Support Profile
    When I gave away my iPod it disappeared from my profile. However, my iPad that I also gave way still appears.
    You can also try registering the iPod. It is says it is registered to another account that is a good sign that it has been restore.

  • My laptop's been stolen; I have serial number of my Photoshop Elements but can't remember which version; I now have Wondows 8.1. How do I know which version to redownload and install?

    Sorry...title says it all. I had a Photoshop Elements 3.0 on disk and have subsequently downloaded updates and was running an updated version on my stolen laptop with Windows 7.
    MyAccount shows my Photoshop serial number but not the version number which I have forgotten. I assume I can now redownload the version I had - updated to work on Windows 8.1 but don't know which version to download.

    Contact Customer Support by chat or by phone and they should be able to look into your purchase history.  You might even find it yourself if you poke around different links in your account.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

    Support should be able to deactivate the software for your stolen laptop as well.

    I was having the same problem, unable to find my trash can. I did everythnig suggested in this post to no avail. Then I discovered if you hover to the far right of RECENT you will see either "Show" or "Hide"  "Show" reveals the following, including the trash. I'm sheepish that the solution was so easy but delighted to report that after viewing AND emptying my trash, I gained 55 GB on my HD.
