Cinema display serial number from plist

Hi, I need help getting my cinema display serial number from an old Plist file.  My office was broken into recently and someone made off with the monitor.  It's a long shot but I thought I could find the serial number for the campus police.  I was able to find an old com.apple.windowserver.plist file that had some information for the display.  I tried the command <defaults read ./com.apple.windowserver.plist> and came up with the following.  Problem is they don't look like serial numbers for a cinema display.  Any suggestions? 
                DisplayID = 69530633;
                DisplayProductID = 37430;
                DisplaySerialNumber = 42039688;
                DisplayVendorID = 1552;

Hi ,
Go to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist. Open this with TextWrangler or a similar utility. Look for a DisplaySerialNumber key with an integer value that isn't 0. With any luck, this should be the s/n of your display.
If you haven't used this display for a while, the records of it may be gone.
Also, it appears that this isn't guaranteed. Double-check if possible.

    Do you have an iTunes backup of the iPad?
    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:

    FROM TABLE
    ORDER BY ORDERCONDITION
    or
    sometime you sould use logic like this:
    first, you should take a summry column into relevent group.
    then
    goto its property
    then
    goto Function field
    then
    select Count from list
    then
    select the source means you want to count records acoording to which column.
    then
    select from relevent group cource from Reset at
    Now, give this summary column source to the required field then generate the report.
    If you feel better to understand then give comments otherwise mail me at "[email protected]"I will give you the complete procedure with images.

  • Hi. I've changed my hard drive on my macbook pro and wanted to reinstall logic pro but although I took the serial number from the "about" box it rejects it when I try to reinstall. It was an upgrade to Logic 8 originally. What can I do? Urgent!

    Hello. I have installed a new hard drive on my Macbook Pro with OSX Tiger. I tried to reinstall Logic 8 Pro but it refuses the serial number when I try to install it. I took the serial number from the "About" box when Logic was still installed but no good. The software was originally an upgrade, and I don't think I have the disks for the previous version. What do I do? This is important because I only use the computer for music. Thank you.

    There's actually an even simpler solution that doesn't include buying a new version of Logic.  He can use his original version easily.  Of course, that depends if the OP knows how to effectively use his computer though...

  • How to remove serial number from a PC?

    Hello,
    I had previously activated some NI products on a PC using my serial number. Now, I'm transferring ownership of the PC to someone else, so I've deactivated the products. However, the serial number is still recorded somewhere in the PC: In the NI License Manager, when I select Activate -> Use a Web browser... it auto-fills the fields with my serial number.
    How do I wipe this serial number from the PC?
    Thanks!

    @uday: Yes, there are no more traces of the license files. I have NI License Manager 3.7. (But even though the license files are gone, my serial number remains)
    @RavensFan: Because this is a brand new PC which forms part of a product I developed for a customer. I activated the Development versions of LabVIEW and TestStand for debugging purposes, just like this guy 5 years ago. Now I want to ship the system to the customer with LabVIEW RTE and the TestStand Base Deployment License in place, without undoing and redoing the work I've done on it.
    Well, suppose I completely uninstall all NI software. I get the impression that if my customer decides to install their own copy of NI software on this PC, the first thing they'll see in the activation wizard is my serial number, which is stored somewhere in the PC. I'd like to find out where the serial number is stored, so that I can wipe it.

    I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

    If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
    If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
    IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

  • 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?

  • I have CS2 and am interested in buying CS4,or CS5, or CS5.5 used. Will my serial number from my CS2 work for an upgrade version?

    Like to own hard copy CS at the cheapest possible price.
    CS2 will not work with Lion.
    I'm looking at used CS4 upgrade discs that are for sale.
    Will my serial number from my CS2 work for the upgrade?

    There are no upgrade paths from CS2.
    If you purchased used software you're pretty much on your own. Much of what is sold on places like eBay or Craigs List doesn't have valid licenses. Caveat emptor.

  • Can anyone help me get a serial number from Adobe & Identit-e?

    I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student & Teacher edition through Amazon online. I followed the instructions inside the package to verify my eligibilty as an educator. I received a message on the screen after submitting my materials that I was verified & I would be receiving a serial number.  This was on June 1. I contacted Adobe Chat and a rep. told me to wait 2 -3 business days, but still no email with serial number had arrived. On June 7, I contacted Adobe Chat again and the rep told me to contact customer service at identit-e.  I have sent  identit-e two emails with no response. It has been one week of trying to get my serial number from either Adobe or identit-e.  Can anyone help me get my serial number?
    Product Code <removed by moderator>. 
    My work email is <Removed by moderator>

    Jeff,
    I ordered through Amazon and not through Adobe so there is not a record of my order on the Adobe website.  I do have a record of the order with Amazon so I requested a refund through Amazon.  The product is unusable without the serial number.  It has been 8 days since my eligibility  was verified with identit-e.  I have spoken with three Adobe rep.s and two unanswered email to identit -e trying to get the serial number since I was verified as eligible to receive the student/educator version of Creative Suites. I am very disaapointed with the lack of help I have received from Adobe with this issue.
    Being referred to identit-e or to a FAQ page is not what I needed to solve the problem- I needed the serial number  I have lost complete confidence in Adobe's customer service and that the serial number will ever be provided.

    See the end of:
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
