How do I find the model number to my 15" Mac Book Pro?
I have a 15" Mac Book Pro (the one with the keyboard that matches the outer uni-body and track-pad). I am having difficulty in finding the actual model number that is associated with this machine ( as it is second hand). I found the serial number and all the other essential specifications to wit I would have interest for scheduled up-keep. The model number, however, escapes me? Could someone shed some light on this? Apologies in advance for appearing thick headed on the matter. I'm sure it is right in front of me.

HT1366 Any way to retrieve a serial number for my stolen Mac book without the receipt?
Please tell me there is a way to retrieve the serial number on my stolen Mac book I purchased about 5 years ago so I no longer have the receipt
Hello Jrose33,
Sorry to hear about your MacBook. I found a couple of resources that might help with locating the serial number for your MacBook.
If you registered yoru MacBook when you purchased it, you can view the serial number in the Support Profile of the Apple ID you registered it to:
Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Go to My Support Profile*.
Sign in with your Apple ID.
View your purchases in "My Products".
You can find the full article here:

If you never registered your MacBook with your Apple ID, you can also find the serial number on the packaging:

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

How do I find the serial number of my stolen macbook?
I recently had stolen my macbook, macbook pro and iphone....and other than retrieving the MEID number of my Iphone, I did not have the serial numbers of the macbooks listed anywhere and I also bought these used online so I did not have a receipt with the serial number either. I did not have an icloud, any retrieving software, nor itunes. I did though bring them into the apple store after buying them and had them cleared for my own use and also listed them as devices on my apple account. After discussing this matter with apple and checking my devices, it came to our attention that my device list had fell off my account due to the person who stole them had cleared them with apple, which automatically puts the macbook devices onto a new account. Does anyone have any ideas? I need the serial numbers for the police report.

How do I find the serial number of a stolen Ipod touch?
Unfortunately, we lost the serial number of our touch - now it was stolen. How can we find the serial number - I thought it would be registered under my iTunes-account... Any ideas? Thanks.
You can get the serial number in iTunes by heading to Edit->Preferences. Then when the window comes up, click the Devices tab and hover your mouse over one the iPod's backup. It should then display it's serial #.
Or look in the places described here if at all possible.

How do I find the serial number on my stolen ipad if I never wrote it down?
Need to file police report, it is not on file with applecare despite my purchasing two years, and not found at apple despite me calling everywhere!
Hi domesticjoy,
So, you are indicating that when you go to My Support Profile you are not able to see it under the My Products section: Apple - Support - My Support Profile
If not, then have you backed it up to iTunes? If you have, then open iTunes on your computer, click on Preferences under iTunes, click on the Devices tab, and then using your mouse, hover over one of the backups for the device. It will display a little box with the Serial Number info in it
Cheers,

How can I find the serial number of my stolen MacBook Pro?
Hi,
I had my 2009 Macbook Pro stolen about 10 months ago. I didn't think I'd see it again until last last it showed up on my "Find My Phone" App, in Vietnam.
I locked it straight away and sent a message to the screen with my email address.
The person who had it worked at a computer shop and contacted me straight away.
He understands its stolen and wants to help but he will only give it to the police. And the Vietnamese police want my serial number to proove its mine before they will send it back to me.
I don't have a copy of the recpiet or serial number. I've been to the iStudio where I bought it and thier records start 1 month after I purcahsed it.
I've tried the https://supportprofile.apple.com page and for some reason my macbooks are not registered on there. All my other apple products are.
Is there any other way I can retrieve my serial number?
It's conected to the icloud and the app and I've made puchases on iTunes from it.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Many ThanksNo.

I am trying to find the serial number that is required by itunes for troubleshooting. But the trouble is, I don't know what it is.
My computer is a HP (not a MAC). I have the itunes serial number. Before loosing my almost 5000 songs I was using an
older version of itunes. I thought if I upgraded to the new version that I would get my itunes back. When I noticed the songs
were gone was when I was taking saved items from my documents into a new 500G hard drive I bought yesterday. After
loading a bunch of stuff it (not any itunes) I went into itunes and ALL of my songs were gone. What happened? What should
I do? & Where is that serial number they are talking about?Hi Susan,
Not sure why your post ended up in the Apple Server section but here goes.
By default your music should be located in one of the following locations
which you can see by clicking on My Computer
Windows XP - C:\ - Documents & Settings - Username (your name or your login name) - My Music - iTunes
Windows Vista/7 - C:\ - Users - Username - My Music - iTunes
it's unlikely your music has been wiped and more likely that iTunes can't find the library file that tells it what music is in your collection and where it's located. This can happen if you renamed or moved one of the folders above to something/somewhere else. Another idea is to do a search and look for files in a format used by iTunes such as .mp3 or .aac which might show you where they are.
Hope that helps

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but the website recommend I ask here. I bought the CS4 when I bought my macbook pro in when I was in college. I remember there being 2 serial numbers, so I could install to one other computer. That macbook pro finally died, and now I have a new mac which I am trying to re-install the creative suite on, only I can't find the serial number. The two stickers on the back of the CS4 box (which i thought were the serial numbers) don't look like that they're asking for, and the website listed on the inside of the box for me to register to doesn't recognize my e-mail (which hasn't changed since buying CS4). Any idea where I could find the serial number?

Please help guys. It would mean the world if I got my Ipod back. What should I do?

No app is required.
- 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.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.

- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
