Find Ipod Owner Using Serial Number

I used to work for Apple and sometimes this worked. Find your closest Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment and explain the situation to the FRS or genius. If the iPod has been registered, they can look it up by the serial number and see if it's been attached to a person, they can then email or call that.

You can choose a Playlist, then cycle through the songs in the Playlist using the SEEK button.

A reader asks: “I got a used iPod touch recently, and everything seems fine except that when I attempt to log into iTunes, the previous owner’s Apple ID pops-up and it requests a password. How can I get rid of this so that I can use my own Apple ID?” Apple’s iOS devices—including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch lineups—use a security feature called Activation Lock that’s designed to keep anyone else from using your device in case it is lost or stolen. While this is a great anti-theft feature, it can make things very difficult if a device’s former owner is intentionally rehoming it. If the Find my iPhone/Find my iPod feature was enabled—which is part of the Activation Lock process—Apple stores a device’s serial number along with the Apple ID in their database. Even after a clean restore, the device will register with Apple’s database and see the feature is enabled based on the serial number of the device. An Apple store can bypass this, but they are unlikely to do so unless you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you own the device.

Often, they’ll just turn you away and say they can’t do it. The absolute best way to fix this is to reach out to the previous owner and have them remove the device from their Apple ID.

They can do this by entering their password on the Activation Lock screen, or by accessing iCloud. Here’s what the previous owner should do if they opt for the iCloud reset: • Sign in to iCloud.com • Go to Find My iPhone • Select “All Devices” to open a list of devices linked to their account, and select the device to be removed • Click “Remove from Account” After the previous owner removes the device, then you should turn the device off and turn it back on again to set up the device as new. If you cannot reach the previous owner, you may be out of luck—or, if the person you bought this device from cannot or will not do this for you, it is possible that you have bought a stolen device and are in possession of stolen property. This is a good reminder to anyone who wants to pass on an old device: Make sure you follow the proper steps to avoid this dilemma.

I'm getting mildly obsessed about it. Penguinsix, the only personal information I've found is the store log-in email, which bounced. I can't think when I've ever been in/ near an apple store, but I will give them a call. Maybe they can look it up via the serial number.? Called two apple stores, both totally useless. I wasn't expecting them to hand over the owner's address, but I had hoped they could tell me IF the serial number was registered, so that I could know if it made sense to take it to the store and have them contact the owner. I'm getting simultaneously obsessed and disheartened about this.

I guess a flyer is in my future. I'm pretty sure I know the block the owner lives on, so maybe I won't be inviting contact from a thousand weirdos hoping to con me into giving it to them. After my iPhone was pick-pocketed on Metro, I went to the Apple store in Bethesda with the serial number and asked if they could help me find the new 'owner' and they said no. I think Apple may be OK, sometimes when they feel like it, in reuniting a finder like OP with the owner. But the larger problem is Apple doesn't want to get in the middle of ownership disputes like mine - how do they know I didn't sell it for cash and now want it back? At least in my case the whole episode is on the Metro station surveillance tape, but I can see other cases that would be more problematic. And what if I think BIL's iPhone used to be mine and I want Apple to prove it?

The solution in Sam's link seems ideal for Apple - it would discourage theft, but still without getting Apple in the middle of ownership disputes.
