HT1349 I need to register the serial number of a new iphone to my itunes library so that I can sync it....how do I that?

My friend just upgraded her iPhone and gave me her old one.  It is the same as my iPhone but mine has quite a few features that no longer work so she is letting me use hers until it is time for an upgrade.  I tried to sync my itunes and apps to it but it is not allowing me.  How do I edit my iPhone information so that I can change the serial number to the new phone's?
Thanks

You can't change the seral number of the phone.  But if you backed up your old phone by syncing with iTunes you can set up her phone as a new iPhone and restore it from the backup of your old phone.   If you haven't backed up your old phone you need to do so by connecting it to iTunes and syncing it.  Then on her phone go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Contents and Settings.  Finally, follow this guide starting at step 3 to set it up and restore if from the backup of your old phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.

    Help, I purchased a used iPad. When I try to register the serial number. It says it's already registered. How do I reregister my iPad under a new user?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's because the old owner still has it as a registrated device on his/her Apple ID. Contact with him/her and ask to remove the registrated device from the Apple ID, so you will be able to register it as your iPad

    HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

    The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
    To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

  • Unable to connect to register the serial number

    Just bought Adobe premiere elements 13.
    When I open the programm it asks to register the serial number. I click to connect (the connexion on the internet is working properly) but it's impossible to connect it says try again or register later.
    I have an Adobe  ID account where I have already registered this product and the serial number.
    I have also done the update of this product.
    Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Dear ATR
    Thanks for your post I really appreciate your interest and help . I really hope my message will be clear as English is not my mother tongue.
    My computer operating system is windows.
    When I open the Adobe premier software a new window open saying :
    "Connexion required
    You should connect with your Adobe ID to activate this software. Type your Adobe ID to register the product.
    Then a  new window says :
    You will be connected with Adobe ID XXXXX
    I click to connect  then a new window says :
    Validation of the serial number
    Connect to internet to validate your serial number
    Connect later/  Validate
    When I click on validate it searches then nothing happens.  I can use the software at the moment when typing try Later .So I'm afraid that in 7 days I could not use the software anymore.
    I must say that the product is registered on the Adobe ID system but it seems there is no connection between this service ie Adobe ID and the software .
    Once again thanks for your help and interest. Have a nice day. Looking forward to hearing from you .

    I bought acrobat adobe professtional version II in 2012.  Now I re-download this software to my new computer.  All info was downloaded.  But when I opened the file, I need to verify the serial number.  I entered.  But it showed up that the serial number is valid, but the qualifying product could not be found.  I could not be able to find Ver 11 from the list.  What can I do?

    The qualifying product is the older version that you owned before you purchased the upgrade to version.  It is what qualifies you to use the less expensive upgrade version.  So you need to select the older version and provide its serial number to prove that you qualify for using the upgrade.

  • Need to recover the serial number of a stolen iPad.

    My iPad (I think it was a 4) 32 gig with WiFi only was stolen and I need to recover the serial number of it for the police report.  How can I do that without having access to the iPad?
    Thanks for any help.

    If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

    Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
    Stolen iPad Database
    http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
    Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

  • How do I find the Serial number of a locked iphone?

    How do I find the Serial number of a locked iphone?

    Thanks but unfortunately I don't have any of those items to do that. Just have the phone. We are a third party support provider for Pharma companies and they send in their HW when users leave the company or are let go. This particular client deployed this device outside of our company at some point so we did not have the luxury of recording that info when deployed. We also cannot reach the original user to obtain the passcode. All we need is the serial number but need a way to access that on the phone without the passcode and without resetting or restoring the phones IOS.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you registered it with your Apple ID, open http://supportprofile.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID, so you will see the serial number. The serial number is in the box, too.
