Checking product serial number / ebay / warranty

Hi, I hope I've posted this in the right forum.
I am thinking about buying an Ipod off a seller from Ebay. I got the serial # from him tolook it up on the site [www.apple.com/ca/support ] to see how many days are left on the warranty. It tells me my estimated date of purchase was FEB 17, 2006.... but it's only jan 23,06 today! is there something weird with the site or is there something fishy about his serial # ??
Is there a way I can check with Apple to make sure the Ipod wasn't stolen ?
    Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The serial number may be wrong.
Have them look under settings-->about or on the box.
Apple cannot check for you.

  • I have my iphone activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.

    I have my iphone4 activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.
    Now i have a problem in it, all icons just shake and system hangs, needs restarting.

    You need to go back to the person you bought it from. Sounds like they may have sold you phone that is not as described.
    Did you check the warranty status before purchasing it?

  • Verify algorism of product serial number

    Hi experts,
    our user is asking if we can write syntax to verify a certain product serial number is correct? The serial number is given by the algorism from JDEDWARDS.
    Thanks. Sab

    I think it would depend how complex it is. You could have an before update workflow that uses some IIF's to test for certain syntaxs, and if an error it replaces error text. My concern however is if the logic requires data from other records/systems (eg attributes), wf wont do it.
    Alternately you will need to have a background integration process that reviews and checks them, based on an integration event wf.

  • Where do I find my product serial number?

    Hello,  I ordered the wrong product and need to cancel my order. Adobe is asking for my product serial number but to my knowledge i didnt recieve one with the download.

    There also isn't a download when you buy CreatePDF...
    Can you confirm what you purchased and what you paid for it (as a double check)?

  • Lost product serial number

    The other day I discovered that I had lost/mislaid the product serial number from my iWork '09 Family Pack box. Everything else is there, but I can't load the software without this number (can I?). Is there any way I can retrieve the number from the iMac on which I have already loaded this software, so I can use it on another?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    If you bought the family pack electronically/online, you can get the serial number from the list of online purchases in your Apple Store account. Go to the Store tab at the top of this page, click Account (small, faint gray word next to the cart icon in the upper right), click on Downloadable Software Purchases & sign in.
    If you bought the retail box, there is no serial number included. Something has changed with the retail DVDs recently that no longer allows the installation of the DVD over an existing trial. You will need to delete the trial then install from the DVD. You can use a application deleting program such as AppZapper or removed the files manually. Start with deleting the iWork '09 folder in Applications, then do a Spotlight search for any file with iWork, Keynote, Pages & Numbers in the name & trash them (keep any earlier than '09 files if you want). Check for any files in Application Support in all Libraries (user & main HD), particularly HD > Library > Application Support > iWork '09, HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork '09 & plist files in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Spotlight doesn't search libraries, so I prefer using the freeware utility Find Any File.

  • SERIAL NUMBER FOR WARRANTY?

    If you don't have a receipt, do you have to register the SERIAL NUMBER FOR WARRANTY? Can someone help me on this?!? Thanks

    Regitering the product is always a good idea and I would reccommend that you do that. However, registering will not serve as proof of purchase.
    Having said that, you do not need to provide your receipt when you request a service online so you should still be able to get repairs under the warrenty.

  • Hardware product serial number

    hello everyone,
    I bought a new warranty for the next two years and when I write my details I'm supposed to find Hardware Product Serial Number..
    WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
    THANK YOU!!!

    3. hardware product serial number- I didn't find!
    John Galt gave you a link showing how to find that number. Your Mac (any Mac) has only one serial number. So I can't say I understand why you list 1 and 3 as separate choices. They'd be the same. The one you found on the bottom may just be the serial number of the battery.
    To find your Mac's serial number, go to the Apple at the top left and choose About This Mac. It will initially show the version of OS X you're using. Click on that gray version number and it will rotate between that, the build number and your serial number.

  • Where do I find Product Serial Number?

    Hi, I just received my new MSi HD 7850 and am trying to register it on the MSi website to activate the warranty. It asks for the Product Serial Number. It is not clearly identified on the box.
    Does any one know which numbers need to be entered in that field?

    There's a whole bunch of numbers and text sequences but it is not clear which relates to the product serial number.
    any thoughts?

  • "We're sorry, but this product serial number is not valid."

    I get "We're sorry, but this product serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again." when I try to activate my AppleCare Plan for my MBP 15" (2011). It's the correct serial number. What should I do?
    Thanks!

    I got this error too....but then instead just logged into the part where it says "view" on this page....

  • How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid

    How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid.  When I tried to type this in for registration, it does register as this numbers also contain letters in it.  Apparently the registration boxes accept numbers only.  What do I do with a useless product for which I have paid good money for it?????

    This is the simple solution which was offered to me when I tried to get the serial code on line.
    The box and disc sleeve do not contain a series with 24 numbers which I presume is the product code to install.
    I tried to redeem the registration code by following what they recommended, but inevitably it gets to the page that showed the registration boxes that need 24 serial numbers and I got stuck again.
    This product is so different what my previous experiences of other software products where I just enter the serial number straight from the disc sleeve and then I got registered and go on to use the software.
    I is really frustrating, spending the last two hours trying to get my product going....

    You can't delete an iCloud account, you can only stop using it.  Is email addressed to him coming to your email address or his?
