Is there anyway of recovering the serial number when I bought it secondhand but have used it for six years for everything and it’s been deactivated on find my iphone
iPad 2, iOS 9
If the iPad is signed-in against your AppleID account, you should be able to obtain the serial number from your list of signed-in devices:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] - scroll to the bottom of the page to see your devices (tap to reveal details)
Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the iPad has been fully signed-out of iCloud - and the Activation Lock deactivated - you will have no technical means by which to locate or manage the lost/stolen device.
As for the Police, they don’t “track” anything. The theft is recorded - and if your property is subsequently recovered, may help to reunite you with the item.
I can’t use the find my iPhone app coz when I bought a new one it was accidentally signed out of it when transferring photos to the new one so I can’t get hold of it so the police can track it
I guess you have tried all the things my worthless post suggested?
