My wifi Ipad was stollen. Can I write an app to locate it by serial number?
Is there something like serial number api or unique way to inquire serial number and its unique identifier and exact location of that serial number (on an Ipad)? (or is this sort of stuff only reserved for CIA and FBI and those sort of I agencies?) I would like to develop an app to do that. Am i day-dreaming or is it a real possibility with all the technology, gps, satellites and apps and possibilities we got? Any help from dev-gods would be much appreciated.
Explanation: my home was broken into and my Ipad stollen (along with so much more). I fancy that such an app would lead me to the criminals and generally curb on criminal activity of these appliances.
Thanks!
Cheers!
Mitsu, thank you!
Actually I forgot to state that I know about mobile me- but did not conclude the process of setting it- just downloaded it without concluding the registration. So I am stuck on that front. But I was thinking more on the front of deeper side: some unique identifier (like serial or unique id of each device) that can be "pushed" to retrieve info on the location of the device. I would put the effort to learn and make the app myself. Just the question is: is there a method or function or api to locate devices by unique identifier ?

I had an IPAD stolen. Is it possible to locate that IPAD still?
Did you activate "Find My iPhone" on your iPad? If you did, you may be able to find it if whoever took it hasn't restored it as a new device. If you did not, there is no way to track it. Sorry.
Either way, you need to immediately change your Apple ID password. Change your mail, and app passwords, to protect yourself. -

No. The SN will only help identify the iPod if it is recovered.

If I buy a book for my ipad , how can I get it to my wifes ipad so she can read it ?
If you share the same Apple ID she can download it again on her iPad in the Past Purchases Tab of the iBooks Store, just find the book in the purchased section and download it again.
If she doesn't use the same ID, you cannot share the book. -
My Ipad2 has a message: Ipad disabled connect to itunes. The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with. What can I do? I cant even access the serial number to contact apple. Help!
Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer. -
What can I do if I do not have a serial number, because LR 5 was an additional to my Leica purchase?
I do not know what a Leica is but if it is a computer that came with Lightroom installed then you should contact whoever sold you the machine to see if they provide access for the installation files.

Can I trace back my stolen phone using IMEI/ Serial Number? My phone ran out of battery when it was taken in November 2011 (Barely bought for a month). I didn't manage to activate any application to help me find my iphone back.
If you know anyone who has an iphone/ipod go on to app store and go on find my iphone. Download is (it should be free) and type your phone number in. It should then come up with a map and show you where your missing iphone is!

Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes? Also, if another user was to attempt to connect this stolen device to iTunes, would Apple be able to inform of the username of this person in order that I could then pass this information to the police?
