Why can't iTunes track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes?

I was wondering Why, if your iPod is stolen, iTunes cannot track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes.. I've had my iPod touch almost a year now and it is registered in my name and everything. This past weekend someone somehow got into my car while at a concert and stole my purse, my ipod, my friend's ipod and wallet. I didn't think to file a police report because I figuered there would be nothing they can do. Since, a lot of people buy and sell iPods all of the time from one another instead of from a store. I thought to let it go, but it keeps haunting me, someone has access to a lot of my person information. This hit me when at work, I was using Pandora internet radio, and someone deleted all of my radio stations and added their own. They are still using it till this day and I have no clue what to do, I've changed my password to Pandora even. I know it's being used via my iPod from my Pandora app, I regreat not downloading the new ios5 on my iPod... So, I really have no further idea of what to do. I contacted Pandora in hopes they could change my account password or delete it or something, I just hope they haven't used any thing else important. I really wish it were possible for iTunes to track an iPods Serial number when the iPod is either synced to iTunes / iTunes store.. If it were possible, I wish they could help me out and at least lock my prior iPod or hopefully delete everything from that.. I don't have much hope in this though :/

Thanks for the suggestions... tried tehm but no luck so I've taken it back. I think I'll try a Samsung (only other ones I've found with a Sleep Function) and move to Audible instead of iTunes. A shame after years of iTunes use but I shouldn't have to spend days getting a product to work. Thanks again.

HOW TO FIND LOST IPOD BY SERIAL NUMBER

RECENTLY WENT ON VACATION AND MY SON REALIZED HE LOST/ HAD HIS IPOD STOLEN. I FILED A POLICE REPORT BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THERE A WAY I CAN TRACK THE IPOD IF I HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER.

There is not a way. Apple doen't provide this kind of service.
Find my iPod Touch - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost. It also requires the device be connected to WiFi and not having been restored by the finder.

Track lost Ipod touch

Is there a way to track or enable service on my lost ipod?

IF you set up fnd my ipod on the ipod itself and it is on and it is connected to wi-fi, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
Otherwise you cannot track it.

HELP! I cannot find my Ipod touch, Is there any way I can track it down with the serial number?

No. Apple can't help either. If you had already set up the FindMyiPod feature you may be able to find it. The SN will allow you to identify the iPod as yours if it is found.

Lost IPod, have serial number, what to do now?!....

My iPod was recently lost/stolen (not sure), and I retrieved the serial number. What do I do now?

Report the theft to your local police, if you have the serial number make sure that you have it quoted in the report. If your iPod was registered with Apple when you first got it, that will assist the Police in returning it to you should it ever be recovered (Apple have no procedure to track, trace or block your iPod from use): How to report lost or stolen Apple product?

Lost iPod registered serial number

I lost my Ipod and it was not under my email but my sons. I put his email and apple I'd but it doesn't work. I registered his iPod with the serial number under my email and apple Id(after his email not working). What else can I do?

- 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.
- 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.
- Apple will do nothing

Tracking lost iPod?

Hi, I lost my iPod (actually it was stolen from my office desk) is there a way for Apple to track down an iPod if somebody else registers it? What information would Apple need to do that, a police report would be enough?
Thanks.

I lost my ipod nano no idea where today... what do you do if it is lost? Do you need to tell Apple? Are you password protected in itunes store etc.? I know the serial # and it is registered. If someone has it, can they access my account or do anything with it? I am planning on buying another nano tomorrow. So what happens when I plug that one to my computer. Can I sync the songs on my itunes into the new nano? Someone help answer this please. It is very upsetting. Thank you.

I thought I had signed my ipod into icloud but when i'm trying to find my ipod icloud from my pc is not recognizing it. Can I track my ipod by serial number

I thought I had registered my sons ipod with icloud but now that he's lost it I've tried finding where it is through icloud but it's not recognized. Does this mean it's not actually registered or offline? Is there any other way to track it.

No. You needed to have set up an iCloud account on the iPod before it was lost, as the find my iPod feature is a setting under the iCloud account. You are out of luck at this point.

HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

2nd Generation ipod Touch

Hello, Tommyty,
I am sorry you have lost your iPod. You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically. Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you.
Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
No.
Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number. Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number. This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
"Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you.
If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it. In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
• you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
• someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
• the police may find it after you have reported it stolen

Will apple replace lost ipods?

will apple replace lost ipods?

"Isn't there a way for Apple to track the lost ipod's serial number"
No.
"they wouldnt be able to tell me because the registry is confidential, how is that fair"
Very fair indeed. Notice the word "confidential"? Do you want Apple to give to anyone the personal details details contained on their data base? Including yours? Supposing I were to make a malicious call to Apple to report that the iPod you rightfully own was stolen from me and they gave me all your personal details. Would you be happy with that that? I suspect not. Supposing they then made use of the serial number to block the use of the iPod on your computer every time you connected it? Happy with that? No, me either. That kind of system would be open to all kinds of abuse. And what about the 1000's of stolen iPods that must find their way on to eBay every year? Should Apple track those also?
"Apple should really find a solution to the problem of lost ipods"
There's a very easy solution. Don't lose it. You really think that Apple has nothing better to do than keep track of lost/stolen iPods? That's the job of law enforcement, not Apple.
I do sympathize with your loss, and know how upset you must be, but it is unreasonable to lay the blame at Apple's door. If you report the loss to the Police, and they recover it, then Apple will liaise with them to return it to it's rightful owner. That is all you can rightfully expect.

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod. It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.
