HT1349 APPLE CARE SERIAL NUMBER NOT VALID

Alright so I know this is elsewhere in the forum but I recently purchased AppleCare for my iPhone 4 (I live in Canada) and I went to register the product and it's telling me the serial number is not valid.
I tried calling Apple but I keep getting in this enraging speak your problem loop that doesn't seem to pick up "AppleCare" as an item that I'm having issues with. What am I supposed to be saying to the prompter to get me to a service representative. It wants the serial number for my iPhone. That's not the issue, it's my APPLECARE that has the wrong serial number.
I have zero patience for teleprompts so I'd like someone to walk me through how to get to a REAL human being.
I just want to register my product that I paid 90 bucks for. And have it actually work. I'm not asking much
Any help would very much be appreciated!!!!

Thanks, I ended up using the "EXPRESS LANE", which I definitely recommend to anyone that dislikes speaking to a computer as much as I do.
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Also, to anyone else that may be having this issue: The serial number you're inputting is for your PHONE, not the one on the applecare box.
If any apple people are reading this, the form should read "DEVICE serial number", not everyone knows what hardware means (though in hindsight that makes sense but why not call it what it is and save potential client frustration, and save yourself a phone call). Or even make a drop-down list to select the device you're registering would be helpful. Then have the registration applet show "AppleCare Registration #" and "[device name: e.g. iPhone] serial #".

Logic 9 Serial Number Not Valid

I recently backed up my computer and did a complete OS reinstall (starting from stratch and not using the old image due to old corruption files). I then decided to manualy copy over Logic Pro 9 files from the backup drive to the new image. I went to open Logic and it asked for my serial number. I typed it in and then it decided to crash on me. Well no big deal, I probably didn't copy all the files. So I deleted as many files as I could find and then proceded to reinstalling Logic 9 from my Logic Studio disc set. Entered name and the serial key during the beggining of the install and it says "Serial Number Not Valid" and asked me to type it again and gives me the same message. After 3 failed attempts, it closes the installation program. I have tripple checked my spelling in the key and have checked forums regarding this problem. I have already attempted to move the ID files in Library/Application Support/ProApps to the desktop; no change. Any input would be nice. Thank you.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 on a MacBook pro 2012.

Was your copy of Logic Studio 2.0 (the one containing LP9) a full version or an upgrade version?
If it was an upgrade version you need to enter your original LP8 serial first.... and then it will ask for your LP9 upgrade serial...
If it was the full version, contact Apple directly and ask for their assistance.
http://www.apple.com/contact/
or use the online webpage to obtain a replacement serial number...

Note: Once you have successfully installed LP9.. you must upgrade LP9 to the latest version 9.1.8 before you run it, via software updates... as you are running Mavericks...

Serial Number Not Valid 2nd Install CS5.5

I'm trying to download CS5.5 Design Standard Student and Teacher on my Windows 8.1 machine and receive a "Serial Number Not Valid" notification. I have already downloaded the product on my Macbook Pro a few years ago, but was under the impression I was allowed to download it on 2 computers. Anything I can do???

the serial number for a mac installation is not the same as for a windows installation. and, in fact, cs5.5 is not a dual platform product so you cannot install it on a windows machine unless you have a windows license/serial number.
you could upgrade to creative cloud. the subscription apps (cs6, cc and cc 2014) are all dual platform.

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
Que faut-il faire

Installer tells me serial number not valid photoshop elements 13

i'm trying to install photoshop elements 13 multiple languages mac that i downloaded tonight online. i purchased photoshop elements 13 and premiere elements 13 as a package a few days ago on line but it appears that what I purchased was for windows and not for mac. I have a serial number for each (photoshop elements 13 and premiere elements 13). The installer is not accepting the serial number as valid for some reason. I'm guessing that the problem was caused by the fact that what I bought was english windows and what i downloaded as mac -- which is what i need. help me please!

Hi there
Where did you get the number from? Do you have a serial number, redemption code or product code?
Please try the following doc to see if this helps: Find your serial number quickly
Thanks

CS2 Serial Number Not Valid

I recently got a new laptop, and I want to transfer the CS2 activation from my old desktop to my new laptop. I deactivated CS2 on my old computer, but when I try to activate it on my new laptop, I'm told that the serial number isn't valid.
I use Window's Vista.
Thanks!

Now, I have never done any trial of any Adobe software, so this might not be valid.
When installing any of my upgrades, I have never had to have the program installed. After the installer surveys my system, I have always been given the option of inserting the original program's installation disc, for verification. Now, I have been upgrading from 2.5 for all those versions. I have also never used any download, except for patches, etc.
It was not until I upgraded from PS to Production Studio, that I had a "full-version" of PS, between then and version 2.5. Everything else was an upgrade disc, purchased directly from the Adobe Store.
I would also think that if you are running the trial, it would not care what other Adobe programs you have, or had, but could be wrong on this.
I would only download any trial directly from Adobe, and no where else.
Good luck,
Hunt

Serial Number Not Valid -new store-bought Aperture 2

I recently bought Aperture 2 from the Mac store.
The serial number they provided is not valid. I have checked many times - the letters are in caps, and I have included all dashes.
I had no trial version of Aperture prior to this.
Please help!

Just call 1-800-SOS-APPL and they will resolve it for you.
Good luck!

FCP update - serial number not valid

Hi all, I recently bought final cut studio 2.0 from someone second hand.
I am trying to download the update but when it asks for my serial number, it says it is not valid. I've tried several times and double checked the information entered.
Is there any way around it? Or is it because it is a second hand copy?

If you had FCS already installed prior to the update, and it was working, and after the update you were required to reenter the serial, then it definitely sounds like you have a pirated serial. I can't remember which update, but a couple months ago Apple released an update that invalidated any serial it knew was floating around the net. If you have a valid serial (not on the list of pirated keys), you would not have seen the enter license window.
When you bought FCS, you should have been given EVERYTHING that normally comes in the package: Shipping Box, manuals, install DVDs with the serial number on the front of the "Installing Your Software" manual/insert. There will be no document for you to copy and paste from.
If you have one of the serials that was released to the wild, contact Apple and tell them what happened. If you fax them the cover of the install manual, proving you have a legit copy, they will give you a new, valid number.
Buying 2nd hand from e-Bay or such, has been know to result in exactly this kind of problem.
In the mean time, you will have to downgrade the version of your install (preferably by reinstalling from the DVDs), but first deleting ANY and ALL FCS folders and files.
My condolences..
Good Luck

Aperture trial serial number not valid

Apple sent me a mail: Try Aperture for free.
Unhappily the serial number Apple ([email protected]) has sent to me for Aperture Trial is not valid!
Was that a spam? Does Apple want that nobody try Aperture? What can I do?
iMac's Mac OS X (10.4.8)
iMac's Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have a similar problem. I installed the trial, and
it worked okay, until I updated it through Software
Update. So I trashed the program and thought I would
reinstall the version which was linked in the e-mail
that contained my serial number. Now I can't
reinstall it because it says that it was installed
before.
Grrrrrrrrrrr...
If you want to reinstall you have to delete the aperture files in system/receipts. These files tell the system what has been installed and will not allow a reinstall if they are present.
Hope this is understandable?

Message: serial number not valid to update from pro 9 to 9.01

Today I tried to update my Logic Pro 9 to Logic pro 9.0.1.
I logged in, welcome message, was asked to enter my Logic Studio 2.0 upgrade serial number which I did: The serial number I entered is not valid.
My history: Logic 5.5.1. with XSkey, updated in april 2009 to Logic pro 8, 8.0.2. (registered my serial number)
Bought upgrade Logic Studio 2 (Logic pro 9) and everything works o.k.
My Mac Pro is a "just for studio music" computer I have no internet on it.
The update I try to get is via my (Windows) home computer.

I read the post of Mr. Pandamonium in the Topic : Logic Pro 9.0.1 released
He wrote:
"9.0.1 release only made it as a page 2 news story on Mac Rumours"
So I went to the site, clicked on the link, came on the apple site with a link to the update.
No need to log in, no serial number asked, downloaded the 183 Mb file.
I will install it later today when I am in my studio.

My 2.1.1 retail serial number not valid???

I have been using the demo version 2.1.2 for a couple of weeks now and just bought a full retail 2.1.1. Just to be sure, I first deleted the demo version with AppCleaner and only after that installed the full retail version. However, when I start the program, it identifies itself as a trial version and also shows the initials I used as a name when installing the demo version. As I try to authorize the program with the serial number from the sticker in my box (which one is it, the one below the bar code or below that? neither works), it says the number is not valid.
Any idea what's wrong and what to do?
Thanks.

Geez, I feel stupid.
The serial number was on a sheet of paper supplied and not on the box as I falsely thought. I have to say the Apple advice is a bit misleading as somewhere on Apple's website it tells to turn to your packaging for the serial number...
Well, case closed.

Serial Number Not Valid

After installing new hard drive, I tried to reinstall acrobat standard version7. During activation I was redirected due to technology issues, whateve that means. I downloaded from web site and could not activate because serial number (from cd case) was not valid. In my adobe, I re-activated sometime ago with a different serial number and that didin't work either. Tried chat support but they kept directing me to a page to purchase an upgrade. V.7 worked fine, I just need to activate it. Do I really have to purchase an upgrade???

if you have windows os, you can download and use the acrobat 7 standard here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
use the serial number posted on the page where you download acrobat.
