If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device
No, you can only potentially track it if you have Find My iPhone enabled on it, you can't do it via the serial number.
If this isn't hypothetical, then if your iPad has been stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. and contact your carrier. -
1 month ago I Downloaded a trial version. Today I have downloaded the program with the serial number, now I'm doing the istallation he asks me the serial number, I put it and he tells me that I need also the serial number of the previous version. How can I find the serial number of the trial version?
What program, and did you buy the UPGRADE version, or the FULL version?
Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install
So, if you had A and you bought A+ you need to provide your A serial number during install so A+ knows you are legal -
Macbook pro laptop stolen - any way to find out what the serial number of it was ? I didn't keep a note of it and don't have the original receipt / box.... thanks
The only other way would be through Apple, assuming you bought it at an Apple store or at least registered it. Stop by the store or call their support number.

I am trying to move Indesign CS6 to a new computer.
To do this I need the serial number of the license.
It seems I did not register the number on my Adobe account as nothing is there.
I bought the software in August 2012 - and no longer have the invoice.
i think we got the software by box but am not sure.

This is Apple's official word on the subject:
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it. Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers for items purchased or registered with your Apple ID. -
is there a way, that l can jam or locate a stolen 3gs iphone with the serial number. or is there another way, so it jams when connects to the internet.
If you didn't set up Find My iPhone prior to losing it, then there is absolutely nothing that you can do with it now.
You could have a friend call or text it and try to reason with whoever has it. -
My iPad got stolen and it is offline on find iPhone, is there a way I can locate it get it back or even get the serial number of it? I'm really mad and sad about that.
The only to potentially find is if you can do so via Find My iPhone - which will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If you haven't already done so then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc, and if it's a cellular model then contact your carrier.
In terms of the serial number, if you have a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if on a Mac), select the Devices tab on that, and then hover your mouse pointer of the iPad's backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
If the iPad was registered to your iTunes account you might also be able to get it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/ -
I'm trying to find my iPad but I'm traveling and don't have the serial number. I cannot figure out how to use my iPhone to locate it. Can anyone assist?
Download the Find My iPhone app from the App Store to your iPhone.
Then, launch the app, log in with the Apple ID & password used for your iPad.
Note that unless you had enabled the FMiP function on the iPad under Settings > iCloud, you will not be able to track the device. -

Can i use my serial number to locate my ipod?
lost my iPod... Not sure if its in my house or its lost for good... But I was wondering if I could search for it using the serial number sice I did not hook it up with icloud. I
No, the SN will onlyhelp identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Can i tell if my ipod is being used with serial number
Our Ipod touch is lost. We have the serial number. Is it possible to look up the serial number to see if the device is in use?
There is not. If you had the FindMyiPod feature set up on it, you could try and locate it via iCloud. Otherwise, you'll have to look for it as you would any other item.

How can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?
how can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?
Quit Aperture.
Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time. -
My Ipad2 has a message: Ipad disabled connect to itunes. The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with. What can I do? I cant even access the serial number to contact apple. Help!
Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer.
