Serial Number Trace

I run a large fitness center and have a collection of lost i-pods. I would like to use the serial numbers to try and find who the i-pods are registered to. Is this possible?

No, Apple won't give out personal info of that nature.

They may not even have that info if the iPods were not registered.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Submit the iPods to the police department. Those who have lost them should report to the police department the serial number of their iPods. The police department can then manage restoring the lost iPods.

You might also check the iPod themselves and see if the owners utilized the "contacts" portion of the iPod to load in addresses. If so, perhaps there are listings for "Mom" or "Home" or some such.

You can contact Apple (1-800-myappl) and give then the serial numbers. Apple will contact the last registered owner and pass on your contact info.
