Q: My IPOD Touch was stolen out of my car yesterday.  I need the serial number.

My IPOD touch was stolen yesterday out of my car.  I bought it two years ago.  I don't have the original packaging.  Two months after I bought it, it died and I sent it to Apple for repairs.  I got it back in a day or two.  I was wondering if there would be a record of the serial number with Apple that I could give to the police.

    Considering that it was repaired by Apple, you can probably use My Support Profile to find its serial number. Log in with your Apple ID.

     

    It is also stored in your last iTunes backup:

     

    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPod and select Preferences…from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)

     

    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPod's serial number will appear in a popup window.
