I bought a fake iPhone 5s, but the serial number checks out?

I mistakenly bought a fake iPhone 5s online, but when I checked the serial number on apple support it came back legit even saying it had warranty until February?

If it's a fake iPhone, it's using a cloned serial number from a real iPhone. But Apple still isn't going to support it.

    I am trying to activated a brand new iPhone 4s but the serial number isn't working. Suggestions?

    Are you getting any error message or other data that helps to understand why the SR # is not working?  Sometimes when entering a serial number a letter or number is entered incorrectly because a 1 looks like an l or an s looks like a 5.  Make certain that this type of an entry error is not your problem.

    All I want to know is if I can get that information and what do I have to do
    Obviusly then just contact the person who bought it for you or the wireless provider to which is was used with?  if you can't do either then you're out of luck.  This doesn't sound legit at all, given the fact that your name won't be on the bill.

  • How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc.

    How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc. I bought a new iphone 5 on ebay.com - he was used. For a decision on my case ebay asks for this information ...

    Apple will never reveal that info to you, since you were not the originally purchaser. However, you can get the date of sale by entering the SN here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Warranty starts on the date of sale, which is most likely the date of activation, but not necessarily so.

    I have a Windows copy of Photoshop Elements 11, but the serial number has been lost. I didn't buy the product and I am unable to find the box. As far as I know, it's never been used so has not been registered. Does anyone know how the serial number can be recovered under these circumstances?

    If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

  • My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

    My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

    Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
    Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
    or...
    You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
    If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
    Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

    I am trying to download Photoshop CS6 onto my Mac from the Adobe website, but I do not have a serial number. I made an Adobe ID, but the serial number is not under "My Products" nor have I received an email including a serial number. I do not know how else to find the serial number. Please help!

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

  • I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI full version but the serial number given to me is invalid

    I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI full version and the reseller sent me a serial number but when I install an error message says the serial number is invalid.
    The reseller claimed it is Adobe's problem not theirs.
    Adobe website is very confusing that I am not able to send an email to ask for help.
    It has been a week since I bought it and I am still not able to enjoy the program.
    How do I go about getting Adobe attention on my problem ?
    The reseller is:
    Digital River, International SARL
    98 Boulevard Du Prince
    L-1724 Luxembourg, Luxembourg
    They replied my email as follows:
    Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems, Inc.

    Ok, thanks for that. If the serial doesn't work, you will indeed need to contact Adobe. But here are some things to try first.
    1. Does it refer to a QUALIFYING PRODUCT? If so, enter the serial number of the OTHER product, not the one you just paid for.
    2. If you are copy/pasting the serial, try typing it. If you are typing it, try copy/pasting it.
    3. Make sure what you purchased matches what you downloaded. For instance, check you didn't buy Acrobat Standard and try to install Acrobat Pro. Or that you didn't buy a Mac product for use in Windows. And so on.

  • I'm trying to re-install Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0, but the Serial Number of my old copy doesn't work. Where do I get a new Serial Number?

    I bought a copy of Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 in 2001, and it's been working fine, but now I'm told I need to download a new copy. However, when I get to enter the Serial Number (of the original copy), it says it's invalid. How do I get a new Serial number?

    OK, answered my own question: the Serial Number is listed opposite the link at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

  • Can you know which account or email is being used on your stolen ipod/iphone by using the serial number?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected 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 to 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.
