  • Just found Ipad Nano in Big Island Hawaii. Trying to find the owner to return it back. Tell me what is the color, how many songs and your name(its personalize with a name).

    I only wish that when I called Apple, they would match the serial number with the owner and give me the contact
    Hopefully you left Apple your contact info (name phone #, email address).
    Apple would simply pass your contact to the last registered owner. It would be up to the owner to contact you. As Dave mentioned, Apple will not give you any info (except may to tell you it was or was not registered, but not to who). Turn it on once in a while and maybe they have activated FindMyiPad and a message will pop up (don't need to be logged onto the iPad to a message).

  • I found an iPod shuffle and want to return it to the owner

    Is there anyway to determine the owner of an iPod Shuffle (first generation)? I found one on the street and would like to return it, but there is no identifying information that I can see.
    If I plug it into my computer, will that give me a clue?
    By the way, the S/N is <edited by host>.

    No, don't do that! If it's set to automatically sync, then it will sync with your iTunes library and the original owner will lose all their tracks.
    Your best bet is to call Apple, explain that you found it, quote the serial number and they may - but only may as they do have duty to their customers to keep their details confidential - give you contact details for the original owner.
    It's a shame that the 1st generation Shuffles couldn't be engraved - a friend of mine bought her 8-year-old a nano for his last birthday and she had it engraved with 'if found, call' and their phone number. He's lost it twice now and it's been returned both times. Also acts as a bit of a deterrent should it be stolen - if the police recover it, they'll return it and if the thief tries to sell it, then the buyer might call the number on the back and he'd get it back that way (I'm a great believer in the honesty of 90% of society - it's never let me down.)

  • How do I find out if an ipod is registered so I can return it to the owner?

    How do I find out if an ipod is registered so I can return it to its owner?

    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775.  Once you give them the serial #, they will check to see if the iPod Nano was ever registered, contact the owner to let them know their iPod Nano was found.  The owner will contact you if you gave CR your name & phone#.

  • How to return found nano to owner - can I get info by serial number

    Hi, we found a nano and wanted to find out if there is any way to trace the owner by the serial number so we can return it.

    Contact Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE. If the Nano is registered they might have you send it to them for onward delivery. Also try the local police station to see if one has been reported lost.

  • A friend gave me an older Nano 3rd generation. Can anyone tell me how to delete what is on there and how to get rid of his name. It does not connect to my itunes. I cannot even find the source or the place to restore it as suggested in the owners manual.

    I have a 3rd generation ipod that a friend gave me. I cannot find anything on how to get rid of his name and music on it. This is what the owners manual says:
    "Select ipod nano in the soiurce list and click the summary tab" I cannot find the source or the summary tab on itunes. Can any one help me? I would like to delete everything on it and start over but I am afraid I cannot add anything back on it. I know this is detailed and a lot, but I really need help.

    Restore
    Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
    How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
    4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • Ok i work at a military base and there were iPod touch's given out to some units and I have found one and would like to return it but don't know the owner so is there a way to track a name with the serial number?

  • HT1267 How do I find the owner of an iphone I have found But there is no contacts or Cell number of the phone that is the phones cell number and the phone has been suspended and you can't get any information on returning it .

    How can I find the owner of a found phone that  must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.

    I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
    Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
    I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
    This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
    Thank you for the support.

    I FOUND AN IPHONE AND HOW CAN I CONACT THE OWNER SO THAT I COULD RETURN THE PHONE TO HIM OR HER

    You cannot open the phone, because it is locked and that's why you won't find out his number or email address.

    and a password.

    Since it was erased and no sim card the owner probably got rid of it of some reason.

  • Found an iPad mini in a parking lot; would love to return it to the owner. Called the local police and they said there is very little that they could do. Suggestions?

    Found and iPad mini in a parking lot; would love to return it to the owner. I called the local police; they said there was very little they could do. suggestions?

    Leave it turned on, and (if possible) connected to the Internet. The owner may try to find it using Find my iPad.
    Also, make a note of the serial number off the back, then advertise it as found, and make sure anyone claiming it can tell you the correct serial number.

  • Can you help me return a MacBook Air that I found to the owner?

    I found someone's Mac Book Air.  Can you help me determine the owner so that it can be reunited?

    Hi Detective Colombo,
    You need to contact your local brothers in blue - hopefully it was reported to them and they can reunite it with the owner.
    You can also contact Apple Support, and provide them with the serial number to see if the owner reported it to them, but that is not always successful.
    Good citizen, detective! We salute you!

  • Dissatisfied...can I return my nano?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought an iPod nano a little while back but it seemed to be having problems with the battery. I sent mine in for repairs and got a replacement. The replacement actually has the same problem too and I don't want the nano anymore. There's no point in giving it in for repairs because another replacement will probably have the same problem.
    I am still within one year of purchase so therefore my warranty should apply right? Can I return my nano to Apple for a full refund? I was looking all over the Apple website but could not find a service where I could return my iPod instead of repairing it.

    Honestly, the nano is a great player for kids. I assume you bought the new 2nd generation nanos. The problem is, like most new released products the people that buy them in the initial release months tend to be the ones that deal with the bugs that will mostly likely exist. At this time you get the double whammy of a new/upgrade product release AND a new iTunes...double the opportunity for bugs that us early purchasers get the "joy" of experiencing. Like the poster before me mentioned, it might be a good idea to post in another thread or start a new one that specifically explains the problem. There could be a fix that one of the many regulars on here can provide you that would make it so that your kids can truly enjoy their new players. If you are not really interested in that avenue though then I would say that any replacement (I assume you mean a player made by another company) that you choose for your kids should be one that is a flash player (not a hard drive) as it can handle the active lives of kids. Sorry, I can't suggest any brands because I am a generally happy iPod owner for several years and don't know much about other players through personal use. I know other people that have used other brands and there is the even mix of unhappy and happy people....just like with any product.
    Good luck with whatever you choose.

  • I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it.  I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

    I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it.  I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

    Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
    There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
    The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
    Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.
