OK - my iPod is stolen and I need the serial number
I posted earlier how I had lost my iPod touch ( it was actually taken from where I had misplaced it....BESIDE A CHURCH)
Anyways, I have called the police but they want my device's serial number. Is this stored anywhere in iColud, the iTunes store or iTunes itself?
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number.
Hope the police can find your iPod, though as I'm sure you know, the chances are slim. Good luck.
Regards.

What To Do If Your iDevice 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 it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

If your iPod was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
If you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.

my ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work or the box, so how do i get the serial number?
If you registered it, Apple can help you. Give them a call.
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. Something as small as an iPod 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 is missing and I need the serial number
My iPod has been missing and I can't get the serial number because 1. I've never synced it into iTunes since my computer came after my iPod went missing 2. I had the iPod for 8 months so I don't have the box 3. The receipt doesn't say 4. Somehow, I can't contact Apple 5. It's not in my iTune history. So is there another way I can find the serial number?
Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number.
Hope the police can find your iPod, though as I'm sure you know, the chances are slim. Good luck.

I just came a across the serial number of my ipod that was stolen at the end of last year and am hoping to figure out what itunes account it is synched to now (or if I can for that matter). Any advice helps!
No, you can't get any such information from a serial number.

If you have registered your device, you can go to https://supportprofile.apple.com/ and log into your apple id. Your devices appear there with serial numbers.

My iPad has been stolen. Someone broke into my house on Tuesday. I have already tried locking it through icloud. I have reported this to the authorities but they cannot do much unless I give them the serial number to the iPad. With the serial number they can put it into a database and send that inormation to pawn shops, so i the theie tries to pawn it, the pawn shop employeee can convscate the iPad and hand it over to the authorites. I need the serial number to report it to the authorities. I dont have the box it came in or the receipt and its not on my itunes on the computer because I didnt use it or music, just pictures. Can someone please help??? btw, some words are misspelled becasue the letter that comes ater the letter E, doesnt work on my keybord.
ThanksSerial Number

i have done this before but i forgot how.
i want to see a list of all the products registered in my name.You cannot find the ipod using the serial number. You can give it to the police, so if they find it they can identify it.
You can indeed find your serial numbers:

I have the original box with the serial number on it, but it is no longer protected under the AppleCare plan. I don't have any of the GPS or MobileMe apps installed on it, but was wondering if there was a way that you could still recover it. Also is there a way to make it so that if someone plugs it into their computer, it won't work?
Without having already set up the FindMyiPod feature there is nothng you can do to locate the iPod. Apple can't help either. Thereis no way to prevent someone from restoring your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and using. Report it to the police and change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod. it.
