• Ipod Serial Number Stolen

My girlfriend and I have traveled to Singapore and her iPad has gotten stolen.

We can't seem to find her iPad serial number anywhere (she never plugged it into her computers as it was backed up through iCloud and it charged faster through the socket), and she's binned the box it came in from.

Question: Q: Find ipad serial number from icloud backup? Someone stole my ipad and erased it so that i couldn't use find my ipad to find it. The thing is I saw it online (Im sure it's mine because my screen was broken) but I need my serial number in order to confirm this (Yes the guy put the serial number in the picture online).

Apple's support website doesn't show it under her Apple ID either. We've also tried going through other possible emails, but there's only the one.

It does, however, show under Find my iPhone on the iCloud website. Is there a way to retrieve the serial number through here?

I've found how you do it.

With Xcode installed, open your terminal and run:

open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPod.plist

This will open the property list editor.

Navigate down to Root -> Devices and look under each device to recognise the one you're looking for. There are 2 identifying factors: DeviceClass (which can be iPod, iPhone or iPad) and Firmware Version String. Through those two I was able to get the serial number I needed.

This will NOT work if you never registered and created an Apple ID!

• Login to icloud.com.
• At the top right you will see your little avatar (it's a circle and your name/Username will be next to it; click the name.
• At the bottom of the next page there will be listed all devices you have on that account.
• Select the appropriate one and the Serial number will come up and look like this, but with bullets: SERIAL *******KRTR4 (7 unseen characters) and the IMEI number will be below it with 10 unseen characters and 5 numbers, like this: IMEI **********68453.

Once you have completed this process above:

• Click manage at the top of this screen
• Reenter your account information
• Scroll down to device's then click view details
• Answer security questions
• Now your full serial number will be listed there.
