Changing New 3G Iphone serial number in Itunes after upgrade

I just bought a new 3G I Phone. How do you edit the serial number in ITunes? It still has the old serial number from my previous generation IPhone.

When you plug in the iPhone for the first time iTunes should have told you this is a new iPhone and that a previous iPhone was synced and would you like to restore. You should of clicked yes. But even if you didn't iTunes should recognize it as another phone and not copy the serial number. While the iPhone is plugged into iTunes go to "Settings > General > About" and scroll down to the serial number. Then tell me if the one on the iPhone 3G and the one in iTunes match.

  • IPhone not recognised in iTunes after upgrading to 10.0.1

    Hi, I hope someone out there can help with a problem I have with my iPhone 3GS currently running 4.1.
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and iTunes has not worked correctly since.
    When I connect my iPhone to PC with a USB I receive the usual pop-up asking what I would like to do with the device, but when I open iTunes, the phone is not located and listed in Devices (devices not even shown on the menu).
    I have tried all manner of different things to fix;
    Restarted PC
    Restarted iPhone
    Opened iTunes before connecting phone
    Connected phone before starting iTunes
    Connected using different USB cables
    Used different USB ports
    Restarted Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service in Administrative Tools > Services
    Uninstalled 10.0.1 and re-installed a previous version of iTunes
    After all this, my iPhone is still not being recognised in iTunes.
    Can anybody out there help please??
    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone on here might be able to help me also =)
    I can't be 100% certain when but pretty sure it's since I updated to itunes 10 I haven't been able to sync or charge my iphone through my laptop, although it still charges through mains charger. My laptop makes a noise when I plug the iphone in but does not recognise it in windows or itunes. I have tried the above steps but cannot locate the phone anywhere in device manager or when in recovery mode. Have tried different cables and usb drives aswell as restarting etc.
    Any advice appreciated

    I upgraded iTunes to 10.6 on WinXP and IOS to 5.1 on my iPhone 4. Now the iPhone does not appear in iTunes when I plug it in. The phone does appear in Explorer as an external HDD. Is WinXP no longer supported?

  • Is your iPhone serial number linked to your appleID?

    My iPhone 4s was stolen on wednesday, and with the insurance looking like they're not going to pay out, due to a 7 day lapse of cover after you update your phone (pathetic i know), I was wondering whether your iPhone serial number is;
    a) able to be changed by the thieves.
    b) linked to appleID.
    I'm wondering if someone tries to create a new ID with my serial number, whether it would report to apple, or alert me perhaps?
    Completely lost without my phone had only had it for 3 weeks.

    no it's not linked to appleID
    but if you report the IMEI to the police they get all phone companies to block the phone from being used
    at least they do where I live

  • Someone stole my ipod from my house how do i fine the serial number in itunes

    how do i find my ipod serial number on itunes if it is stolen

    Hi fatman234,
    If you are looking to find the serial number of your iPod, you may want to take a look at this article for some of your various options:
    Apple Support: How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349
    If you had your device set to back up in iTunes, you may be able to follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
    If you have access to your computer, but not your device
    Devices tab
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Click the Devices tab.
    Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data Number:
    If your device was the last connected to a Windows machine running iTunes, you may be able to identify the SN using the Device Connectivity Tests, as outlined in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1369
    Connected Device Information:
    This section of the diagnostic report lists all of the devices currently connected. If no device is found, this section will list the device most recently connected. You should see the model of the device, its software version, and "its serial number".

  • Can't find serial number for iTunes

    Can't find serial number for iTunes! I need it and I can't find it... Where do you find it in the new updated versions?? Help!
    Thanks

    Apple provide limited phone support with their hardware, not iTunes. If it is an iTunes issue then describe it here and perhaps we can help. If it is a hardware issue and you have registered your product then you should be able to locate the serial number and check on your warranty/support options at https://supportprofile.apple.com/

  • I just tried to use my iphone as modem for my laptop but once i select the iphone at my network connections it ask me for my password, does anybody knows if that information is either my iphone serial number, fcc id, IC, etc

    i just tried to use my iphone as modem for my laptop but once i select the iphone at my network connections it ask me for my password, does anybody knows if that information is either my iphone serial number, fcc id, IC, etc

    If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

    I didn't cancel anything yet, since I know the phone wasn't stolen and isn't being used.   I do have the unlimited data.  Think I will try to find something used to get me through until I can make a decision on whether to get the new Iphone 5 or see if I can find get the Iphone 4s at discount after Iphone 5 is released. 
    I guess it comes down to just how valuable unlimited data is for you!  As others have said, you cannot put a basic phone on the line for now.  So you either need a smartphone or do nothing, (which means no phone and still paying for service) to keep unlimited.   And then of course you would have to buy the iPhone 5 at full price if you go that route.
    Otherwise you can just get a basic phone for now, drop the data plan, and then at upgrade time get a subsidized smart phone on a tiered data plan.   I know it is hard to give up unlimited, I upgraded at full price last month to do this, but am not sure how good a decision that was!  The real unknown is how long we can keep it anyway......
    Edit: in your original post you refer to a SIM card.  AFAIK, the X2 doesn't have one so that shouldn't be an issue.

  • I need my lost iphones serial number

    I need my lost iphones serial number, I don't have cover/invoice. I already requested for erase Iphone. So now this phone is not showing in I tune..how can  I find serial number or how can I cancel erace Iphone

    If you have a backup of your phone on your computer's iTunes then you can go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if using a Mac) and on the Devices tab hover your movies pointer over the backup.
    Or if it was registered to your account then you can get it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    But if you've sent a remote wipe message to it then you may not be able to stop it if you can't do it via http://iCloud.com

  • How to change the status of Serial number

    Hi Experts,
    Would you please help in solving this problem.
    How to change the status of Serial number?
    I have material stock in a storage location: recieved from Intercompany through outbound delivery, when PGIed material document is created when I am checking the serial numbers of the recieved ones status of the serial numbers are ESTO, I want that into AVLB.
    How can we do that?
    Regards
    Sri

    Hi,
    Go to IQ02 on Header tool bar you will find edit(2nd option on header tool bar) => edit manually=> Click from Customer=> and then to Stock you will find the expected results...
    Generally Serial number Status use to change along with the movement of material linked with that serial number... So if you are changing serial number with manual trasaction then please remove all the details from IQ02 like plant storage location Batch and master batch so that i will not provide you error while doing next transactions.
