How do I tell a Macbook Pro age from the serial number?

I just purchased a used MacBook Pro and would like to figure out exactly how old it is. Can this be determined by the serial number?
Thanks.
Randy

    How do you restore a MacBook Pro back to the original out of the box state

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

    I believe you need a USA attached credit card. The easiest way is to ask. This is a user to user forum. You are not talking to Apple here.

    What program, and did you buy the UPGRADE version, or the FULL version?
    Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install
    So, if you had A and you bought A+ you need to provide your A serial number during install so A+ knows you are legal

  • How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

    how so i report my ipod stolen without having the serial number?

    The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

    Nope. My setup is my laptop an external monitor with Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I keep the laptop lid shut. If I have to turn it on, I have to open the lid and press the power button. But I rarely turn it off.

  • Moved to new Macbook Pro; Aperture 3 Upgrade Serial Number not Accepted

    I have just moved to a new MacBook Pro. I migrated Aperture 3 from my Macbook. This was originally an upgrade from Aperture 2.
    When opening Aperture 3 on the MacBook Pro I am asked for the serial number. I enter the upgrade serial number which is rejected.
    I am really struggling to find the Aperture 2 box and don't know whether that serial number would be the solution.
    Has anyone else come across this issue and know how it is resolved?
    Assume I will not be able to find the Aperture 2 box. Can Apple help given that I will have previously registered Aperture 2 and 3 in the past? I really don't want to have to splash out on another couple of hundred quid for a lost box.
    Please help.

    Red,
    Yes, assuming that you legally purchased the original version of Aperture from Apple, they will have the serial number on file. When you call they can provide you with the original serial number.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.
