Different serial/model numbers in firmware than on actually device

Hello,
This issue has me perplexed. I bought a iPod touch 5th gen and recently needed to get the digitizer fixed. I got my iPod back and can't get it recognized on pc partially (meaning I can plug it in and it charges slowly but thats all it does). Upon further investigation, I noticed that the serial and model number displayed in my iPod settings are completely different from the ones noted on the back of my iPod touch. It also is different from the one that is stored in my iTunes account for recognized products that I own. I am at my wits end on this and appreciate any guidance that could be offered on this issue.

The repairs were done through the extra warranty that I purchased. So I am not really sure where it was shipped to, all I know is that the claim was made through Asurion. However, after proper uninstalling and reinstalling of iTunes, the iPod is now operating normal. I am now trying to figure out why the serial and model numbers differ in Settings from what is printed on the back of the device. But for all intensive purposes, the device recognition issue has been fixed. I was trying to login yesterday to reply, but I guess the forums were under routine maintenance. Thank you for the reply.

What are the different iPhone 5 model numbers?

What do the different model numbers mean for the iPhone 5? I see some that start with an "A" and some that start with "MD"? Which model is for what?

All iPhone 5 have both an A Model number and a MD Model number. The MD Model number is found in Settings App > General > About > Model.
Here are some examples:

MacBook Airs announced yesterday, a few questions (model numbers especially)

Hello - does anyone know the model number fot the core i7 MacBook Airs that were just announced yesterday? I can find the model numbers for the core i5 models, but not sure if the core i7's are considered different models or are just only available as a customization options to the base models, direct from Apple? I want to buy from Amazon since with credit card rewards points I can get about $1000 worth of Amazon gift cards - no option to convert credit card reward points to Apple Store gift cards, unfortunately.
Also, I do want to use this computer with an HDMI-enabled TV - would it be better to buy Mini-Display Port to DVI or Mini-Display Port to HDMI cable? I currently have a DVI-to-HDMI adapter that I use in conjunction with an HDMI cable to plus my old DVI - enabled Cure 2 Duo MB Pro into my TV.
Also, most importantly, I am concerned about built in batter of all the MacBooks these days. How much does it cost to replace, and will leaving the battery plugged in and charged all the time ruin it, or have MacBook batteries advanced beyond that limitation?

1. i personally don't know how to properly network. i managed to do it somehow, but i don't know the exact process. i'm sure someone else can help you with this.
2. the only way to make it less aggressive is to turn it off entirely. i never use that feature and i always adjust the brightness manually.
3. how to make sure you have all the updates is by simply running software update. anything your computer needs to run smoothly will show up there. if no updates appear, then you're fine.
4. the fans are located in the bottom portion of the MBP. the heat issue is normal. saying it gets really really hot doesn't give anyone any indication of what the actual temperatures are. my idea of hot is likely different from your idea of hot. your MBP is likely not running hotter than any other MBP.
5. i think you just close the lid while it's on to do this. or just set the energy settings so that the screen shuts off after x minutes of inactivity.

Using 2 different ipod models on same computer

I have been using my ipod on itunes 4.8 since Dec. 2005. Now my grandaughter just got an ipod shuffle which won't run on itunes 4.8. It wants to install a newer version. Not a problem I suppose......but will installing a new version of itunes wipe out my older version? I don't want to overwrite my 4.8. Will installing a newer version take all my songs away from my older version?
Can you even run 2 ipods on the same computer? Since we each have different serial numbers will one be able to run on it and the other not?.....or what?
I tried to find an email address to email Apple about this but I can't find any on the support pages. The support is not real supportive is it.

Thank you for your reply.
The ipod shuffle user's manual on page 4 says that "to use ipod shuffle with a windows pc you must have: itunes 5.0 or later (itunes 6.0.5 or later is recommended)".
Her disk comes with an itunes version (or so it says, I haven't got that far as to download it yet). I wondered if it would affect my songs. Thank you for letting me know that it won't.
I'm thinking that maybe installing her software on my computer is not such a good idea since it doesn't have the ability to manually monitor what will be loaded on it. Will all my songs automatically download to hers? (Sorry if I seem dense, but I only know how to run mine & I have mine set to manual control.)
I think we should just install this on her Dad's computer.
Since like I said before I don't know anything about the ipod shuffle.......will her songs all get automatically downloaded or deleted according to what she has in her library on what ever computer we actually install it to? (I hope you understood that, since I'm not sure what to actually ask yet)
As far as the email support........yes I actually did think that after spending over $300 for my ipod and whatever they spent on hers that somewhere on the Apple website that there would be a way to actually ask the company a question and get a simple answer in return. But getting an answer from you knowledgable forum members is probably better than the runaround I would get from Apple anyway. Thanks!!

How to set different font for numbers in headings and TOCs

Hi,
I've noticed some people use a different font for numbers in headings and TOCs to get some extra magic. Is there any way to automate such use of fonts in the paragraph styles?
Oh, and any suggestions on what fonts would be good for numbers?
Thanks!

I was merely continuing on the original theme -- any digit in any character style. It was only later revealed that (a) the OP needed old style figures, and (b) those were available in his font from the start.
The negative lookahead is the answer to his question (copied in full now)
Based on the above InDesignSecrets tutorial, does anyone know what to do if some of the numbers end with a dot or a comma?
Like the Norwegian date format: 13. mai 2009
Or the Norwegian way of pricing items: 2900,-
and my example shows it can be done, but with an added caveat. If digits are to be set in red, using the exceptions the OP asks for, my example sentence will come out as
"Think of a number between 1 to 10, but don't use 9."
rather than the (here) intended
"Think of a number between 1 to 10, but don't use 9."

How to install second copy (different serial #) on desktop

I have aperture 2 with same serial number installed on both my laptop and desktop on our network. Only one copy can be worked on at the same time so I bought a new copy so my husband and I can work on images at the same time. How do I install a new copy with a different serial number on the desktop and have the images on the old copy transferred onto the new copy? Will the new copy delete the old or will I now have 2 apertures on the desktop? I don't want to lose any of the images and only want the new copy with a different serial number on the desktop.
thanks

You've got a couple options and I ran into a similar issue when installing and running a demo for Aperture 2 while not wanting to replacing my purchased copy of 1.5 until I purchase version 2.
Firstly, why don't you just install one version to each computer? You can have multiple Aperture Libraries on a single computer if you really want to keep your photos completely separate from your husbands but then you can just have separate project folders within the same libraries. You can add metadata to your images when you import them so attaching your name to the images at that time will maintain who shot what. This way makes updating the software much easier and hassle free. Which is not the case when running two copies of the same program on the same hardware.
Another option if you must install more than one copy of Aperture to each computer is to rename the currently installed version of Aperture and then install the new one. This gives you two copies of the same program but you'll run into problems when the next update is released. The renamed version will not be recognized by Software Update because it'll be looking for the version simply called, "Aperture" in the applications library. There is a fairly simple workaround for this though.
Instead of renaming the original install, move it into a new location or subfolder in the Applications folder. Then install the new copy and when an update is released it will be taken care of for the copy installed directly in the Applications folder. Once that update is complete, switch the two so that the other copy is now in the Applications folder and the updated one is in the sub-folder. Run Software Update again and it should run the update to the other copy without a problem.
I would recommend installing just one copy to each computer with the separate serials and just setup your own libraries onto each computer. Through a network you can share libraries between the two systems and you wont run into any problems with running the software or updating it.
I hope this helps you out with your problem.

Where can I find the model numbers for the various generations of TC?

HP Media Center model numbers, what does the letters and numbers mean?

Does anyone know what the model numbers of the HP Media Center Computers mean? What does the 'm' at the beginning of the model number mean and what does the 'n' at the end mean? How do they come up with the numbers and do they have any special significance? I have a HP Media Center m7658n. I am looking for a motherboard to replace my original but the clostest one I can find is a HP PAVILION MEDIA CENTER M7480CH-A M7560A MOTHERBOARD. Does the 7560 mean it's of lesser quality than the original and what is the difference between the 'a' and the 'n' at the end of the model number?

paullevy,
Can I ask why you want a replacement board?
The "m" means Media Center. The "n" denotes US and Canada. In the 7560, the "a" is New Zealand.
Your board is a Leucite, Specs here googled
If you were to purchase the wrong board, your OEM Windows will cease to be 'activated'.

Sales breakdown of different ipod models?

hey guys,
does anyone know where i could find info about the sales breakdown of different ipod models in the UK?

My Laptop model is Satellite L305D-S58821.

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

I have Photoshop CS2 but my computer crashed on me which means I lost it..when I try to download it from adobe web site it stops at 173/340...is there anyway I can use my original CD and then use a different serial number

No, you have the web site version because this applies:

The rest we cannot know. You have not provided any system information or details like what browser you use, so nobody can help you with your technical issues.
