My Macbook Pro's serial number is wrong

I have a Macbook Pro 17" late 2011 but my serial number is for a Macbook Pro 15" early 2011. How do I fix this? I want to buy apple care before my year is up but I don't want it for the wrong model.

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Macbook Pro Battery Serial Number

    Recently I have given my Macbook pro to local apple service center as it suddenly turned off & never got started, I was informed by service center that it has some problem in its logic board so I need to replace it. but my Macbook is out of warranty period.. so they have quoted me Rs:39,000 for replacing the logic board.. that is simply out of question why would i spend 39,000 on the logic board, if I can buy Ipad even with the lesser price and it seems much more easy to use for me. so I've got my macbook back without rectifying it.
    However last night I observed that its battery has come out from one side and was not flush with the rest of the casing. So i popped it open using the latch and tried to see if i could close it properly.
    It seems like the battery has sort of expanded on one side, to the point where it's pushing up against the access panel and not letting it close completely.
    I never gave my machine to service center like that, battery was exact fine, I am quite sure that battery is not of my macbook, it has been replaced with crashed battery while it was in the service center (as my macbook was in the service center for more then one month).
    So i am looking for the way to find out if this battery is for my macbook or not. the problem is I don't even have its box or receipt which could include its configuration details and since my macbook has logic board problem so I am not even able to switch it on to check..
    If some one can please tell me that serial number which is given on the Macbook Battery is the same as actual Macbook serial number which i can see in Battery bay; I can see both serial no's differs.
    i am not sure if batteries have its different serial numbers from the machine serial numbers? if some can tell me this so that I can go back to service center with the concern or if battery serial no is suppose to be different then please suggest me how can i go about notifying same to service center, I mean if they would deny and won't accept; either battery has been changed or damage to the battery has been caused by them; then i would have no proof to prove this.
    Please suggest??

    Your battery's serial number was never the same as your MBP's serial number, and there is no way for you to tell whether another battery was substituted for yours in the shop unless you have a record of the original battery's number. Your MBP's original purchase receipt and packaging would not have included the serial numbers of components and subassemblies like the battery — only the whole computer's serial number.
    Batteries sometimes swell abruptly as they approach the ends of their useful lives, and it's entirely possible that your battery did so while it was in the shop for a month. Now you will need a new battery as well as a new logic board if you want to continue using the computer. But because you aren't willing to pay the cost of a logic board replacement, the battery doesn't matter.
    If an iPad would meet your needs, buy it.

    If you registered your comp, Apple should still have a record. 
    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
    GOOD LUCK!

    I am trying to license my recent download of Lightroom 5 onto my recently purchased Macbook with the serial number of the disk I purchased last year for my Windows PC (an upgrade from Lightroom 4).  I receive an error "The serial number you entered is invalid".  Why does CC not recognize this as a valid serial number?

    Soyouca how did you install Photoshop Lightroom?  Please uninstall the current installation using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed please download a fresh copy of the installation files from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the full installer so please download the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 5.
    You may be asked to enter your serial number for Photoshop Lightroom 4.  You can find information on how to locate the serial numbers under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
