Well, when you purchase from a non-official source you run the risk of getting who knows what from wherever. It appears this phone was replaced under warranty at some point, but not returned to Apple for refurbishment. Thus, the SN is no longer valid for warranty & service. If you can return it and get your money back, I'd suggest you do so.

  • When entering my phone serial number it shows "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."

    Hi,
    I had purchased an iPhone 5 last month and got the OS updated to iOS 7, yesterday.
    The data cable was of very bad quality and when I took it to the retailer for replacement, they said that its not covered under the one year warranty.
    Secondly, I have also been experiencing network coverage issues with this phone. So, I decided to contact apple care through the web. When entering my serial number/IMEI it says, "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."
    Does anybody have any idea what the reason behind this could be.
    - First time with iPhone and frustrated.

    If you purchased the iPhone from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller,
    contact them for assistance. If you purchased elsewhere, go back
    to that retailer and get them to give you a new iPhone or your money
    back.
    If you have checked the serial number carefully and re-entered it
    and that gave you the same error message, contact Apple if purchased
    from Apple or authorized retailer; otherwise you have been scammed
    and need to pursue the matter with the business you obtained the
    iPhone from.

    i am going to buy iphone 5 32 gb from some before i bought i check the serial number of that iphone on apple web site to cross check but massage is appering that ......'
    We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us....
    can any one tell me what is that mean..... replace what ?

    In most cases, what you said is true...however, this is not always the case.  Take myself for example...
    1: I posted my phone online to sell
    2: Someone saw my serial number and called AppleCare to get a replacement phone
    3: An inferior AppleCare representative bypassed a component validation (check serial number to the device on hand) and approved the replacement under my AppleCare plan.
    4:  After noticing this (about 4 days after it happened) and  a trip to Apple and a call to AppleCare, all was resolved.  My phone is back to being covered under AppleCare+
    5:  I learned my lesson.
    So, as you can see, there is a chance that it can be something else.  Although, if the person selling the phone notices, it shouldn't take long to resolve it. Chances are that it is what you said.
    Hope this helps

  • HT4061 What does it mean This is an imei number for a product  that has been replaced!

    What does it mean
    This is an imei number for a product
    that has been replaced?

    What carrier did you buy it from? Are they on this list? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If they are on that list and you have the original receipt from them showing the serial number, they may be able to correct the error in the Apple database.
    If they're not on that list, you were sold a black market phone.

    You are not speaking to Apple. This is a user forum.
    If it's possible, return the phone and get your money back.
    You bought a gray market phone that was reported lost or stolen or was already replaced by Apple and was re-sold illegally.
    It has no warranty.

  • Can I get the serial number for a printer that has been stolen?

    I know that when I got the printer, I did an online registration.  Is any of that information available?
    I purchased it from Staples and I am looking for the receipt but no luck yet.

    If you registered the product you should be able to find the information through HP's registration information page here.  I just checked mine and it had devices going back about 10 years with the product types and serial numbers.

    Lila

    I found out that happens to me when my IPhone is trying to retrieve mail at the same time as other apps. Either my Yahoo! mail page is up at work or I left my Mail.app open at home. If I try a few minutes later it's usually cleared up.

  • HT204053 In iCloud setup my apple I'd is not accepting. Getting error message it should be  an email I'd, but my my apple Id is just in user I'd form? Please support.

    In iCloud setup my apple I'd is not accepting. Getting error message it should be  an email I'd, but my my apple Id is just in user I'd form? Please support.

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

    this is an apple generated message. simple!
    what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
    how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
    help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

    this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
    this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
    i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
    remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
    i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
    should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
    at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
    thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..
