How to get the Serial Number my stolen MacBook Pro ?

Hi Everyone,
Please Help !!
My MacBook Pro was stolen yesterday and it contains a lot of personal & professional data.
I reported to the Police & they asked me to provide them with it's serial number. Unfortuantelly i don't have any paper that has it's serial number !!!
My MacBook is registered with Apple. Is there a way to get it's serial number if i have the userName and password of it's registration ?
Can anyone advice how to get it's serial number other than the usual way ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best regards

I'm sorry
You can try calling Apple but I don't think they will give out serial numbers for products, even if you claim to be the owner of them. There's just no way to verify over the phone that you are the original, rightful owner. But you can always try
Also, Do you have credit card receipts from the time you purchased the MacBook? If so, go to the retailer and see if they can produce the receipt of purchase. This should have a serial number on it, or at least a reference.
Good luck!

    Hi ,
    Could you please tell me form where did you purchase the Student version of Acrobat ?Is it through Adobe or some outside vendor ?

    If yes ,then you must have received your serial number along with your product .
    If not ,then how how did you manage to get your serial number and access Acrobat before ?

    I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported.  Please choose a different volume for installation."  I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
    What I don't understand is this:  I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine.  Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop.  1) Why did it work before and it's not working now?  2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

    It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

  • Where do I find the serial number for my macbook pro

    My computer told me I was infected with 6 bad viruses.  An apple mac protection package wants me to sign up to get rid of these viruses.  The mac protection package is asking me for a serial number for my mac. I give it the serial number listed in my apple information but it says it is the wrong serial number.  Where can I get the serial number so mac protection can clean up my macbook pro??????

    It sounds like what you're seeing is a malicious pop-up on the web. Do you have anti-virus software of some kind installed? If not, note that that's the only thing that can scan your computer for malware. A web site cannot do that, but it's trivial to display a pop-up in your web browser that looks very official, telling you viruses have been found and that you need to install their software to remove them. That's a classic malware trick... the software the pop-up wants you to install is the malware.
    Can you provide a screenshot of the window warning you that you have malware? Press command-shift-4, then the space bar, then click the window. The screenshot will be placed in a file on your desktop. Add it to a post here using the camera icon in the post editor's toolbar. (Don't drag it into the post or copy and paste it... that will appear to work for you, but we won't be able to see it.)

  • Adobe Lightroom - Students and Teacher Edition - bought on Amazon.de - How to get the serial number???

    Hello,
    I am trying to get my serial number for Lightroom. I got an Code to register at the homepage at adobe and after a long search (this side etc is really user unfriendly) I found the possibility to use this code and to send a student eligibility but, and thats totaly stupid, you have to follow a link to a support page of adobe which is actually dead or so. It's called page for customers support (in German: Portal für Kunden Support von Adobe) and you you should go there to fill in stuff with your students informations and the activation key. You follow the link, you come to a page with a big header
    Site Area Temporarily Unavailable
    and a lot of informations that the support is offline from Oktober 9th to Oktober 15th.
    Anyone know how to activate a student version with this damn key?

    you can use all adobe products for 30 days free trial with no limitations.
    you can check with adobe customer service via chat,  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html

  • How to get the serial number for bundled software (sony vaio notebook)

    Hi, bought a laptop from sony (vaio fit (multiflip) 11a and it had photoshop elements preinstalled. I want now a clean, fresh windows and will so reinstall windows from a clean image. but then i wont have photoshop elements, so i need the serial number for my preinstalled photoshop elements. i registerd it online via my adobe id, but it wont show up there. i could extract a key, with belarc adviser (software) but this key does not work if i try to download the trial from adobe.com and try to register it with this key. also i tried to ad new software at my online adobe.com account, with this serial, and it said "already registered" but it wont show up in my account. Whats wrong here?
    Will send the serial/key if needed by pn.
    Greetings
    Immscha

    Is the key you’re trying to use for the same version of PSE that you have installed on your laptop, i.e. 10, 11, 12?
    Do you see anything on your Adobe account for registered software?  Be aware that the page takes some seconds or 10s of seconds to populate with your products so will look empty for a while.  This is the page I'm talking about:

  • Is it true that it is unsafe to give out the serial number of a macbook pro?

    I'm looking to buy a Macbook Pro from someone who has listed theirs in a local ad. I asked for the serial number and he said that is unsafe to give that out. He gave me an expiry daate instead (July 11, 2013).
    Is this true?

    I consider it incumbent upon the seller to prove that it is his to sell. Acceptable proof might be an original invoice or bill of sale, AppleCare agreement, original packaging, or some combination of these. Certainly he paid for it somehow, and even if he did not retain the orginal sales invoice it should be easy for him to retrieve a credit card statement or the like.
    By providing the serial number at least he is at least making a good faith effort toward selling it. A seller should expend effort in assuring the buyer, not the other way around.
    The most important thing for you is to assure yourself you are not buying stolen goods.

  • How to get the serial number for the UUT in Test 5.0 version?

    The "RunState.Caller.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber" reference does not for the newer version of TestStand. What would be another method to get the UUT serial number for the batch?
    Please help. Thanks.

    RunState.Caller.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber only works in certain locations, specifically when Runstate.Caller is Runstate.Root.
    Use RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber.

I want to have this laptop last at least the 4 years I'll be in college, and then some. What are some things that I can do to make sure this thing stays in top condition?
    I've already looked around for some cooling pads, as I know that would be one essential. What are others?

  • How can I get the SERIAL NUMBER after an INSERT

    I am working on an application using Jdk1.2 connecting to an Oracle 8i
    Database. The JDBC driver that I am using is Oracle's thin driver.
    In the DB, I have a table that has a primary key as a sequence number.
    Upon inserting a single row into this table, how can I get this serial
    number that is generated by the Database.
    Previously I was using INFORMIX database and welogic's JDBC drivers and this
    is how I get the serial number.
    PreparedStatement ps = ...
    ps.setObject(......);
    ps.executeUpdate();
    int snumber =
    (weblogic.jdbc.informix4.Statement) ps.getSerialNumer()
    Similarly I have tried to use
    (oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement) ps.getSerialNumber()
    But this method does not exist in the JDBC thin drivers.
    Is there some other way to get this serial number.
    Thanks,

    ========================================
    ORACLE don't support serial number as Informix, but you can create sequence table
    and every time get the next value from this table.

  • Where can i find the TRACKING NUMBER on my macbook pro?

    before i bought my mbp, i was told that i should write down its tracking number in case it got stolen. where do i find it?

    Hi there - are you sure they (whoever that is) asked you to keep track of the Tracking number? Do you think they meant the Serial Number?
    You can find the serial number of your MBP by clicking on the apple icon at the top of your menu bar, and go to About this Mac, then you can click on more information, which will give you the serial number of your macbook pro.
    PS - in terms of safeguards for stolen macs, you might want to do a search on the forum discussion related to this issue (stolen or lost) . . .
