Not with serial numbers, no.
Find my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1 and greater) - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html -
The following conditions ALL have to be met:
1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
2) The device is turned on.
3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad).
4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).
If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
Frankly in the case of a stolen iPod this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    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:

    Hi cookiemonster,
    If you did not have iCloud on your iPod with Find My iPhone turned on, then there is no way to track it.
    You will have to just do it the old-fashioned way and look for it....

  • How can I track my iPod without using an app ?

    Hey I lost my iPod touch in school and I think one of my classmates took it how do I track it down without using an app ?

    The only way to track it at all is to first have enabled an iCloud account on it before it was lost, with the find my iPod setting in that account's setting panel set to "ON".
    If that was done, you can log in to your iCloud account in a web browser and you can try to track it.  It must be on, and it must have an active wifi data connection to be trackable.
    Without an iCloud account already on it though, there is no way to track it.

  • Can you track your ipod touch if stolen

    You can maybe only track the iPod if you had already set up the FindMyiPhone feature. The SN will only help idendify the iPOd if it is found.

  • Can i find my Ipod Touch using my friend's Ipod Touch???

    I took my Ipod to my friend's house in a bag and left it there. The next day i find out it is not there so it is lost/probably stolen. I tried to use Find My Ipod on it to see if it works but it says it is offline/probably out of charge. Is there anyway of using my friend's Ipod Touch to locate it???
    Thanks Again Guys
    BTW guys, i live on no.9 Annesley Close and my phone number is 07961301917 so if you find it, plz contact me.
    THANKS GUYS

    Using the FindMyiPhone app on an iPod will give the same off-lin results
    - 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/offline, 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Can I track my iPod Touch 4G?

    Hi, I've lost my iPod Touch 4G about 4-5 weeks ago, and I think I am going to go crazy without it. I downloaded iCloud, but it says I have to have it on my iPod. Well, I LOST my iPod, so is there any way I could track it down from my PC? I know it is in my house somewhere...it just seems like it disappeared out of thin air.

    Unfortunately, you can not track it.  You've got to search for it the same that you would search for a lost wallet.

  • I lost my iPad and I can't find it. Can Apple track my iPad by using the serial number?

    I Lost my iPad in Malaysia. is there any way of getting it back? It does not show in the icloud map? Can the thief crack the normal pass ode in it?

    No. Apple cannot track it. Yes, the passcode can be cracked.

  • Can apple find my ipod touch with the serial number?

    I'm wondering how to find my Ipod touch and if it is possible to go to an Apple store, give them my lost ipod's serial number, and find it somehow. Can anyone tell me anything?

    - No.  The SN will only help idenify the iPod as yours if it is recovered. Apple will do nothing
    - If youu hadturn on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on you may be able to find its general location by going to icloud.com, signing  in and going to FindMyiPhone,. However, that can be defeated by turing the iPOd off or restoring the iPod.
    - Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Will I be able to track my iPod touch by the serial

    I lost my iPod but I have the serial #. Can I track it?

    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.

  • Good day. can i track my lost 4s using the serial number, cause i have activated the i cloud and still no suceess...

    Lost my Iphone 4 s. i tried tracking it with i cloud to no success, and i use the serial number to track it?

    No, you can not. In order your phone to be tracked via iCloud it has to be connected to Internet (Data ir WiFi). You may check box "notify me when found" to be alerted when it gets online.
