Info Not Found - Serial number not recognised after registering Applecare

Hi ya
I registered my Applecare yesterday, checked my warranty status and it still said I had until Feb 08. So i did a bit of snooping on the forums and read that Apple can take up to 4 days to update the info about my MB.
So... this morning I checked the warranty status again by inputting the serial number and
"Info Not Found"
What?
I am putting in the right serial number. I tried it on Safari and Firefox. About 8 attempts say 'Info Not Found"
So what's going on?
Has anyone had this happen or have any ideas?
Might Apple be updating this info now?
Am a a bit worried

Hi Jack
I bought mine from eBay from a seller with 100% feedback. He sells only Apple products and all of his buyers say they have registered with no problem.
I bet i'm the unlucky sod to be the first to have any problems.
I saved 50% off the retail price and yesterday it said your Applecare was sucessfully registered. So all was looking well.
But now.... God knows what's happening?
I paid with Paypal so I am covered if anything happens. I have the guys home number and mobile number too so I can call him.
If you are looking to buy from eBay then two things.
A) check feedback
B) Use paypal.
and if you want to, I aways ask a question first and see how their communication is, just to make sure.
eBay is always a bit pot luck, but I got my brand new MB for £180 cheaper than Apple so I was more than happy with that.
I'm sure this applecare is fine but I just want to know what's going on with my serial number. WHERE AM I?

Acrobat X Pro not working, tryed to re-install and does not recognize Serial Number?

Acrobat X Pro not working, Serial Number not recognized?

Hi lv123321,
Do you have Acrobat only License no or is it a part of suite. If Acrobat X pro is a part of suite then you need to use the suite setup to install Acrobat.
Also if possible could you please private message me the serial no so I can try decoding it.

After i seen the "serial number not found" message appear i started to get messages like "please activate windows you have 30 days remaining (something along them lines) i have tried entering the product key thats on the bottom of the computer but some of the key has wear on it which makes it hard to read, so i tried a factory restall and hell broke loose, im getting error messages that i cannot use this factory installed partition thats on my hard drive.

6th gen ipod nano serial number not being recognised by support

I have just tried to register my 6th gen ipod nano on Apple's website and I get a message that says the number is not recognised, recheck and try again. At first used number from nano box, then tried again after connecting nano to computer (same number appears of course) but still not being recognised. The fact that the serial number is not being recognised is not helpful when you need help from support as they also require this information before they will contact you. Why is my nano's serial number not being recognised? More to the point, how do I get apple to recognise it?

Are you sure aren't mistaking I's for 1's or O's of 0s?
If you head to Settings - General -> About, does it list the same serial # there?

"Serial Number Not Found" and battery not charging

Hi,
I have a problem with my Compaq mini 110c 1030sf. It started a few months ago, when a weird red message appeared on the Compaq boot logo : "Serial Number Not Found".
Everything was still working fine though, that's why I did not try to fix it.
However, about a month ago, when I started the computer (it had been inactive for three weeks), the battery was not charging. Since then, I can't run the computer using the battery, I have to let the AC adapter plugged.
Windows said : 0%, not charging.
Ubuntu says : 0%, completely charged
I removed the battery and put it back, it started to charge, but stopped after 3 or 4 seconds.
I also tryed updating bios, but it changed nothing.
Could anyone please help me ? ^^

If your mini is still within warranty contact HP.
Have you tried the battery test in the HP Support Assistant?
Your BIOS has issues if you have seen that message. That is something you cannot correct on your own as it requires HP's proprietary software to enter the information in the BIOS.
Best regards,
erico

Serial Number Not Found

Hello all.
I've purchased a MacBook Pro Aluminium at Fry's Electornics Palo Alto, CA on June 2009. When I try to apply for a Snow Leopard Upgrade (up-to-date), my serial number is not recognized. What may be happening? Is it possible that I come across any problems if I need to use warranty?
Thanks in advance.
< Edited by Host >

Because I got first hand experience with registering not found serials. I called Apple and they had no record of me buying my book, so they registered the serial to my name and Apple account without any proof of purchase, on the phone and all.
Sure it would most likely be resolved if someone would have done this to his serial they found here, but it would be extra hassle.

Hi:
No, I don't. I'm from Joisey, but now live in Illinois.
Been to Queens many times back, in the day. Can you still go over the QB Bridge for free?
I miss the NY style pizza. I go home once a year for my pizza "fix."
Let your fingers do the walking thru the yellow pages, is my only recommendation (or online).
"HP computer repairs," is how I would search by.

Serial number not accepted after reinstall

As the the useless live chat sent me here I will ask, but I can not see how 'peer help' can assist where live chat can not. And yes, I am very annoyed with live chat.
I have been using PSE3 for a number of years, but since reformatting my PC and reinstalling PSE3 I can not get rid of the register popup :- http://s24.postimg.org/w4eo6jfkl/screenshot_31.png
because if I follow the link I get This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once. Click here for more information.
How can I stop the popup popupping?

Well, I contacted support again, and was told I would have a telephone call from them as it needed 'real time' problem solving. Great I thought, someone will help at last.
So at the appointed time I was at the computer, phone to one side, coffee at the other, waiting for the call.
I waited
and waited
and waited
3 hours later I send a message to Adobe saying what I thought. Eventually after almost 5 hours after the promised call, someone phoned. Details confirmed, problem explained.
RESULT! Well, no. 'we do not support PSE3' So why the £$*& did you agree to telephone? I stated the problem in the initial contact, including the version I was using. An email saying 'sorry we do not support PSE3' would have sufficed, but no, they gave the impression that they would give support, for which I was grateful (at the time, not now)
So what do I think of Adobe product support?
What support? They do not understand the meaning of the work, or customer service in general.

Serial number not accepted after trying reinstall cs5design premium on mac . Mavericks

CAn any one help me? Ik got the serialnumbers from adobe, whymis it not accepted. Is it because I have mavericks on the mac?

if you purchased a mac serial number, and not windows, your serial number will be valid with the matching mac installation file regardless of which mac os you use. some mac os may not be compatible but that's not a serial number issue.
if that doesn't explain the issue because you did purchase cs5 design prem for mac, what error message are you seeing after entering your serial number?

Serial Number not found now but worked two weeks ago!

I have input the serial number of my new purchase of ipod photo (second hand) on the support page two weeks ago and it detected that it still have 120 days left for the service plan. But I have just tried to do it again today and it says that there is no such number.
I live in Canada and I cannot use the page for adding a serial number on the website. What should I do? Does anyone know why is this happenening? I've got this second hand, I hope it's not because this product was stolen or anything!!

My Lightroom 5 upgrade serial number not showing up on My Products page; chat support useless

I purchased a Lightroom 5 upgrade license on July 25th. I didn't receive a confirmation email but my serial number was displayed on the order summary page after purchase. I tried registering the serial number repeatedly through the My Products page but for some reason the serial number wasn't showing up, even though the registration process reported a successful result. Furthermore, Adobe products bought from the Adobe store should automatically be registered according to Adobe's web site. Apparently this must have failed. I need to reinstall Lightroom 5 but the serial number is still not showing up on the My Products page. I just spent an extremely frustrating hour with Adobe "Live" chat who did nothing but send me in circles and repeat the same canned responses over and over again.
I'm currently on hold with "phone support" but I'm not optimistic as I've been on hold for 28 minutes. The only other support option was a link to this forum, hence this post. Hopefully someone from Adobe can retrieve my serial number and contact me. Failing this my only other option will be to contact VISA and open a claim.
My comical-if-it-weren't-so-sad conversation with Adobe support:
Hi, there are 36 customer(s) in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
Hi, there are 35 customer(s) in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Joel: Apparently, this didn't work. I have my VISA transaction information if required.
Naveen R: Thank you for the information.
Naveen R: I will be glad to check and help you with that.

Naveen R: I will provide the steps to locate the serial number on your Adobe account.

Thank you for contacting Adobe.

OK, I was able to recover my previous system's image and thankfully it appears you can get the serial number from Help->System Info. I attempted to register the serial number again via the My Products page and while it indicated that the registration was successful, we'll see. At least I should be able to install LR5 on my new machine now.
Edit: I also just discovered that the serial number is listed under My Orders, but not under My Products. Weird. In my defence , I never thought to check My Order history because I never received a confirmation email and the order wasn't listed after purchase...even as late as mid-August (when I last checked.) Very strange but it's all good now.
Edit #2: OK now I just feel silly. I just received an email from Naveen with an actual support case AND the correct serial number. So, I stand corrected. The Live Chat process still felt incredibly long with some seemingly canned/automated responses but, in all fairness, he did get back to me. Thank goodness I washed both feet today...

Serial Number not accepted by Lenovo Support/Warranty Lookup

Trying to e-mail support about my G505s but it will not accept my SN as valid despite the fact I bought it from a reputable retailer. Lenovo Solutions can't access my warranty information, either. Help?

hi Wonk,
Got your PM. It's odd that there's no info on your machines' serial number but the message Multiple devices found - Please enter Machine Type Information on the warranty lookup page may indicate that the serial number hasn't been registered on the system yet. This usually happens if the unit is brand new or refurbished (indicated by the letters RF on the machine type (eg. 59RF0637)).
If you purchased the system in the UK, I recommend you fill up the form below to register the system and contact the lenovo support center and report the issue.

Serial number not working any suggestions

     My computer died on me last January and I had to reinstall everything and after reinstalling lightroom 2 it would not accept the serial number that I had . I called adobe and after giving me several new serial numbers ( none that would work ) they finally issued me a 3.0 serial number to use after the Beta version went live .
     Well the serial number that they gave me for 3.0 doesn't work either . I am back to calling Adobe and while they are sympathetic and trying to help I am getting pretty frustrated since customer service has sent me to tech support again .
     Any way my question is anyone have a similar experience and if so what was your experience and how was it finally resolved

Sorry, allow me to clarify. You know when you log into your computer, you're in your user account with all of your settings? Well user accounts can become corrupted. If you uninstall LR, create a clean user account, and install LR while logged into that user account, it may leave behind whatever problems you're having - and if it works, it may be possible just to copy the correct files back to your normal account. I haven't been Windows based for a few years, but I've dug up instructions for you: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial153.html
