HT1366 On Apple Support - I put in my serial number, but it says it's not valid. Now what?

I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I have 10.5.8 OS X now. The Software Update says there are no updates.But I need to update to the next level in order to be able to download Mountain Lion.
So I go to Apple Support - they ask for my serial number - i type it in - it says "invalid".
So now what? I'm stuck and Apple Support won't talk to me without the serial number.
AARRGGGH.

There has never been a free upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 Snow Leopard, so Software Update is reporting the correct information. Snow Leopard was a $30 upgrade, which you may be able to still get by calling Apple, in the US, at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Ask if it's still available from the legacy products list. Since Mountain Lion was released, it's been pulled off the Apple online store site. Or check Amazon or hardcoremac.com.

I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard because my new computer doesn not have cd media. When I put my serial number in, it says it is not valid.

My new computer does not have CD media so I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard online. I am able to download but when it prompts me for the serial number, it says my number is not valid. I have double and triple checked, the serial number has been entered EXACTLY as it says on the box. What could be causing this?

Adobe acrobat 9 standard you will need to use a computer which does contain an optical drive and copy the contents to a USB drive. You can then install from the USB drive on your computer which does not include an optical drive. Unfortunately if you did not choose download at the time of purchase then I am not aware of any download locations for the installation files.

is your cs6 a upgrade?
if so, after entering your cs6 serial number you will be prompted to select the qualifying product from a dropdown. select the product you own and enter its serial number.
after entering each serial number at the correct time installation will proceed.
if no, what files (names and extensions) did you download and what are the file sizes shown on your hd?

using Google to read reviews, I would not buy from that site Google
added... click the google link I provided and do some reading about that site
When you buy from another site instead of direct from Adobe you need to check first to be sure the site is an authorized reseller (such as Amazon)
You are now going to have to get support from the place you bought if the serial number you were given by that site does not work

Hi David,
You need to download CS6 Photoshop and enter the serial number for CS6 Photoshop and then you would be prompted to enter the serial number for qualifying product.
Enter the CS5 serial number in order to install and activate CS5 Photoshop on your machine.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

If I want to register my iPad 4 at Apple Support Profile and enter the serial number, it says that this serial number is registered to another Apple ID.

I only have one Apple ID for my iPhone and my iPad and the iPad is definetly new.
What can I do?

It may look new but it's possible that someone have used it before. You may want to take this issue up with the shop that you bought from.

Hi
So these are EXS24 Sampler Instruments?
If yes... the .exs Instrument files need to go in
Library:Application Support:Logic:Sampler Instruments
Or

I've put in the serial number on the apple website, and it says that the product hasn't been "activated". What does this mean?

Does this mean that the warranty still stands as new?

I had the same problem, though mine was with an iPhone 5. I phoned the Apple folks and they told me they had the record of my purchase, and indeed my purchase date had been recorded. It took a couple of weeks, but the data eventually showed up correctly online.

My camera and safari disappeared. I also have a passcode that I must enter and I can't remove it. These areas are grayed-out in settings as well.apple support said probably a software problem. But I didn't want to pay the $70 so I'll try this support

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and tis now relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, see the troubleshooting suggestions here:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424?viewlocale=en_US
