Is it possible to track an iPod owner down via the serial number through Apple? I've searched their website and nothing came up.

cheers

Yep, this morning I found a Nano near my apartment.... Still works and everything after being out in the rain.

The name in the ipod setting is Amithisste's Nano.

I don't think it's worth the effort. Apple probably wouldn't disclose that info publicly if it was actually registered. You can post a notice around the building as "Amithisste" doesn't seem to be a common name.

I am not sure, but if the person has the serial number registered or something, the I guess it's possible, if not, then I am not sure.

Just put up some postings around your apartment saying you found an iPod and if they want to claim it, to call you and describe it (ie: provide the name and list some of the songs on it).

good call on that. If they can confirm the name and songs at least some of them it would be them.

:thumbsup: on you for a good deed.

Good idea with the posters.... I did a Google search of the name in the Settings and it came up with a Nexopia link.... I had someone e-mail him/her on it and hopefully they will respond.

I think having them verify the serial # from the box or whatever will be better than asking them which Timberlake songs they have on their pod :thumbsup:

Negative on the Facebook, i'll try and investigate more later tonight... Just placed an ad in FFWD's lost and found....

If anyone reads this and recognizes "Amithisste" PM me! In the settings on the 'pod it said Amithisste's Nano.

I thought Apple had a return program. You should try calling them too.

I've e-mailed my phone number for her or the parents to call me and so far nothing. It belongs to a young girl around 11-12 yrs old.

Rest assured that the ipod isn't going anywhere until the owner can confirm some details (serial # or describe some pictures that are stored on it)

That's so awsome that you waited to so long to track down the owner, good job. I think that this is one of the nicest things I have ever seen someone do on beyond.

Why's the owner calling you if l8braker had the ipod?
