Battery serial number on my mac

recently I've given my macbook pro for harrdisk repair and after I took it back my battery doesn't last as long as it use to. I have a suspicion that they have kept my original battery and replaced it with an older one. is there any way you could track the original battery's serial number. my mac's serial is C17FXK7TDH2G.

Try the info from this thread.

Battery Serial Number Report For Laptops?

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a report of the battery serial number via ARD 3?

In theory it should be possible even though I have not tried it. Using system profiler you will be able to gather all sorts of data (Serial Number for computer and Battery Stats like charge capacity, power level, times charged etc... cant remember about Battery serial try it an see).
To run profiler from UNIX comand level, click on the ARD 3.0 Unix icon, type in "system_profiler" and save it as a template for future use.
Accessing system profiles with Terminal
You can generate a system profile with Terminal using the system_profiler command line tool. To use this tool, enter the following command in Terminal: /usr/sbin/system_profiler
For more information about the system_profiler command, enter "man" and system_profiler.

Battery serial number records

Hi
I suspect that when my computer battery has been swopped with a faulty one whilst in a shop that was going to sell it for me. When I took it there it worked perfectly. When I got the computer back now the battery won't charge.
I'd like to try and trace what the battery serial number for my computer is. The original one that came with my computer. Does anyone know of a way to trace this?
The About this Mac function brings up a different battery serial number to the one that is on the sticker of the battery. Is this possible?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ntel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Last Modified: December 09, 2009
Article: HT3964
Summary
The System Management Controller (SMC) is responsible for many low-level functions on Intel-based Macs. These functions include:
Responding to presses of the power button
Responding to display lid opening and closing on portable Macs
Battery management
Thermal management
The SMS (Sudden Motion Sensor)
Ambient light sensing
Keyboard backlighting
Status Indicator Light (SIL) management
Battery status indicator lights
Selecting an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays
It is possible that the SMC could encounter a problem that may cause unusual system behavior typically related to the symptoms described below. In some cases, resetting the SMC may be the only correct method to resolve the issue, however, an SMC reset should only be attempted after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.
Products Affected
Portable Computers, Desktop Computers
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
If your Mac appears to be running normally but isn't responding, force the computer to shut down by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Note: You will lose any unsaved work in any open applications.
For Mac portables experiencing issues related to the MagSafe power adapter and/or battery, try:
Unplug the MagSafe power adapter from the Mac and the wall power socket for several seconds.
Shutdown the Mac. Physically remove and re-insert the battery (if it's removable) and startup the Mac.
If the issue is still not resolved after following the troubleshooting items above, an SMC reset may be necessary.
After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:
Fans
The computer's fans speed up quickly and remain at high speed.
The computer's fans run at high speed although the computer is not experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated.
Lights
The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).
The Status Indicator Light (SIL) appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have an SIL).
Battery indicator lights, if present, appear to behave incorrectly (on portables that use non-removable batteries).
The display backlight doesn't respond correctly to ambient light changes on Mac computers that have this feature.
Power
The computer doesn't respond to the power button when pressed.
A portable Mac doesn't appear to respond properly when you close or open the lid.
The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
The battery does not appear to be charging properly.
The MagSafe power adaptor LED doesn't appear to indicate the correct activity.
System Performance
The computer is running unusually slowly although it is not experiencing abnormally high CPU utilization.

Finding a serial number for a mac book

I updated the software on my Mac book as usual. However it will not restart. I get a grey screen of death!
I try to get help but Apple insist I have a serial number...
I can't get it from the software. The mac book will not boot up
There is no serial number on the product body where they say it should be (not on the case and not in the battery compartment
The original invoice from years ago has been lost
Help please
I'm typing this on my iPad

You may have to see if you can get past the gray screen...
•Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
•MacBook: How to find the serial number
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1366
Also, if you registered the computer on purchase, or not,
the Apple site online likely has the product serial number
along with any other hardware items you bought.
Odd thing is, I've found a list of items going back 10 yrs
with the serial number and other info; but can't find
the page URL now that I'm looking for it. The content
appears only if you are logged into the Apple site; so
that means it uses your Apple ID to get that history.
I'll look more for a time, but it's 12:45AM now.
Good luck & happy computing!

Battery & serial number issues.

I just recently got the logic board on my MacBook replaced because my computer wasn't turning on. Everything works fine, with the exception of a couple of things.
Every time my MacBook reached the 7% of battery power remaining, it'll give me a warning telling me that I'm running on reserve. Fine. I'll let it drain completely until it should sleep. Instead, the MacBook completely shuts down, every time. This has not happened before the logic board replacement. What could be done to resolve this?
Also, the serial number of my MacBook is not showing up in System Profiler or in About This Mac. It simply reads, "SystemSerialNumb". How could I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

You should try re-calibrating the battery. If that doesn't help then reset the PMU. If that fails then you may need to have the battery replaced.
The loss of the serial number is normal when the logic board is replaced.

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.

Does the Serial Number work for Mac and Windows?

I Purchased Photoshop Elements 12 it came with a Windows and a Mac Disc. My Son just got a Mac. I was wondering if I can install Elements on his Computer using the serial number I received from the Redemption code that I used for my Windows Laptop?

No. You need to buy a separate license or do a cross-platform change via Adobe.

Can I use iMessage/FaceTime without a serial number on my Mac?

I have a iMac that hade work done on it years ago. It no longer has a serial # in theabout this mac window. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion in part to use iMessage and especially FaceTime. I cannot get either program to work. I read online that these applications need to see your serial number to work. Someone said that the Apple store could do it, but I do not live anywhere neer an Apple store, or a store that works on Macs.
The computer was purchased directly from apple in 2007, it is not a stollen machine.
How can I figure out what my serial number is and get the applications to recognize it. If not can I activate iMessage and FaceTime?
Thank you for the help.
Greg

HI,
There was a thread that contained so called "Hackintosh" users who also had difficulty.
There was a Post in this thread that suggested someone had posted a workaround on a "Hackintosh" site.
Although not clear what the "fix" was for these users several people in the Apple thread said that it worked.
This implies that there should be a fix.
It is also claimed that there are two apps "out there" that can help you to "write" to the place the Serial Number is installed on a one time only basis.
It suggests that there are broader "fixes" but that the Serial Number has to be there.

What should I do if I want to use a registered (unused) serial number intended for Mac, for my PC instead?

I have a registered serial number intended for Adobe CS6 Master Collection for Mac.
I have not used it on my Mac yet. If I want to use that serial number for my PC instead, what should I do?
I've contacted support to see if I can get it switched over, but got no response back.

Hey John, thanks for the quick reply!
I have actually filled out that form already (just 2 days ago, in fact!) but I can't just sit here twiddling my thumbs
I'm kind of in a rush. Is there anything I can do to make the process smoother, easier, for Adobe to respond faster?

How can I find my office serial number on my mac

I have my office 2011 (3 licenses) for mac and its already installed, now I need to install on my mac book pro, but my son town away the box with my serial number, is there a way to find out that number on my mac where its already installed?

You should be able to get the product ID number by launching one of those apps and checking about the app under the app's menu. Whether or not that'll allow installing on another machine, I don't know, but with the registration number, you might be able to get a key from MS.

Acrobat 11.x requires a serial number every day - Mac OS X

I have mac os x user who gets prompted for his Acrobat serial number on a daily basis. After he enters the serial #, he can use the app until he reboots his pc. There after, he is prompted for his serial # again until the next reboot. I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall Acrobat, but that made no difference. Does anyone know of a way to get the serial # to stick? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
--Bruce

Hey Bruce,
There might be a software licensing issue so I would suggest you to please follow the instructions mentioned below:
Set administrative privileges for the following folders:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
Delete all the files under these folders except cache.db under SLCache.
Launch Acrobat again with the serial number and let me know if this works.
Regards,
Anubha

Hello all,
Will a valid serial number for Acrobat 8 Professional (Macintosh) also work for the Windows version of the same software?
Thanks in advance!

No. You need to buy a separate license or do a cross-platform change via Adobe.
