HT1349 help!  Apple does not recognize my serial number

I have an imac that I purchased a little less than year ago and today decided to purchase apple protection plan.  As I was trying to enter my serial number listed on the bottom of my imac, I was given an error message stating apple does not recognize my serial number.  I double and triple checked making sure I entered everything correctly, including going into "about this mac" from the pulldown menu and copying and pasting the serial number that way but STILL it is not recognized... tried to contact customer service but it went dead after being on hold several times so I tried using the email method but can't submit my question because..... you guessed it, my SERIAL number is incorrect and NOT recognized.  Anyone have similar issues?  help!

Have you contacted the vendor or seller from whom you purchased the computer?

    Hi 12msonti,
    Please try the following:
    Delete the Adobe PCD folder and caps.db file:
    Windows:  \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
                        \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
    Launch Acrobat and enter the serial number and check.

  • Registration does not recognize my serial number for new iPad

    I have tried multiple times but it says product serial number does not exist

    Tccriv-
    Go to Settings-General-About and see if there is a serial number listed.
    You may have a defective iPad.  I suggest you show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If the Genius agrees, you may get a replacement on the spot.
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

    Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
    My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
    I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
    I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

    Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

  • HT1349 Apple does not recognize my answers to security questions. Now what?

    Apple does not recognize my answers to security questions. Now what?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Lightroom 4 purchased through Apple App store does NOT have a serial number - cannot upgrade to lightroom 6

    I am trying to upgrade from Lightroom 4.4 to Lightroom 6 on a Mac running OS X (Lion).  I have purchased Lightroom 6 as an upgrade (as I am running Lightroom 4).  The Lightroom 6 installer continues to indicate that it cannot find a "qualifying product" and asks for a declaration of the Lightroom product installed and its serial number.  I am currently running Lightroom 4 purchased through the Apple App Store in 2013; according to all the information I can glean regarding this product... it does not have a serial number (if it was purchased through the Apple App Store).  Does anyone have an idea on how to supply a valid serial number for the Lightroom 6 installer?
    iMac running OS X 10.9.5
    Adobe Lightroom 4.4 (purchased in 2013 through Apple App Store)
    Adobe Lightroom 6 (purchased online as an upgrade from Adobe Lightroom 4.X)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    As I said in the post, a serial number was not necessary to install it; the Apple downloadable version doesn't seem to be serialized.  I have not uninstalled Lightroom 4; it is still running, but apparently in its present form it doesn't provide a serial number for the Lightroom 6 upgrade to use. 

  • Why Sometimes apple does not recognize Iran's IP??

    Why Sometimes apple does not recognize Iran's IP. I can't connect to app store in Iran, but when I use vpn, it connects easily. I always face this message that "manage your internet connection and make sure its active".

  • I am trying to register my iPhone 4S for mobile phone insurance but the website does not recognise the serial number. Has anyone experienced this?

    I am trying to register my iPhone 4S for mobile phone insurance but the website does not recognise the serial number. Has anyone experienced this, and any idea how I can rectify the problem?

    When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

  • Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work-  the serial number does not work?

    photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

    Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
    If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:

    That S/N does work.  I double checked.
