i lost my phone and in order to report it to the police i need the imei number, my boyfriend stupidly threw out the box so the only way of finding it is hopefully through iTunes as it is connected to my account. The trouble is, i don't know how to do this! can anyone help out ASAP
iMac
See the Apple knowledge base article:Find the serial number and other information for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support for instructions.
Your cellular carrier will have your IMEI number. And, if you have backed up your phone to iTunes on the computer, it will show up when looking at a backup. Go to iTunes, then go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. From there, go to the backup list and hover the mouse pointer over a backup of the device and the numbers will appear in a small popup on the screen.
thank you, i have the newest update for iTunes on mac, where is the edit tab?

On the menu bar at the top of the window.
Your profile says you have a Mac. On a Mac, in iTunes, Preferences is not under the Edit tab.
On a Mac, use iTunes' menu to go to iTunes > Preferences > Devices. Then follow ChrisJ4203's instructions above.
how do i find the imei number of a connected device in iTunes without connecting the device
