IPod Shuffle's serial number not recognized...is this an issue?

I accidentally hit Never Register in iTunes, so I decided to register my new iPod Shuffle at www.apple.com/register. Well, my shuffle's serial number is not recognized. 10 tries, and it doesn't seem to exist.
Is this going to be an issue in the past? I've checked it again what iTunes has, the box and the device, and nothing works.
Thanks!

well, im having the same problem..when i hooked up the ipod shuffle to te computer using the USB outlet, a pop-up came up and said that it malfunctioned and suggested that we get a new one. maybe thats your problem too?

  • Ipod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4)

    My new iPod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4). Get error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". It works just fine with my iMac (g4). If iTunes is open the shuffle is just not recognized. Have tried my shuffle on a friend's PowerBook (Intel based) and it works fine. His new shuffle behaves exactly like mine on my powerbook. All other uses with USB ports appear fine - flash drives etc. I did initialize a new flash drive with 128 bit encryption before the 1st attempt to initialize my new shuffle.
    Help! Thanks

    Does it show in Apple System Profiler's USB tree? Have you tried connecting it (through its dock) to another computer?

  • Serial Number not recognized for Snow Leopard Up to Date

    Not sure where to post this question as it pertains to Snow Leopard....
    Just bought a new imac but its Serial Number is not being recognized on the Snow Leopard Up to Date page. The serial number is recognized elsewhere, such as the warranty check page.
    Suggestions? Thanks

    That's a shame. But I suspect it's temporary. I think you get 90 days from the date of purchase to get the free upgrade. I assume that Apple will be better able to deal with this issue as we get closer to the release date.
    Meanwhile, we are not Apple employee's and can not speak for the company or guess what the problem is. Apple does have a direct Feedback site that they do read and respond to:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    For those that may have missed it or haven't tried yet, here's the sign-up page where you are supposed to be able to register online. You can also download the form and send it in the mail.

  • Serial number not recognized when installing.

    I bought Acrobat Standard XI off the Adobe website.  When installing the serial number is not recognized.  The drop down box for selecting which product I bought has a selection for Standard X but not Standard XI. 

    Hi brabski
    The download link is for the retail version installer so if you do have a volume license then you need to download the installation files from
    https://licensing.adobe.com/.
    Below is the link to contact for support:

    Please reply for any assistance.

  • 600MHz iMac Serial Number not Recognized!

    I just purchased a 600MHz iMac from ebay and Apple does not recognize the serial number! I tried going to www.apple.com/support and checking the status and I tried registering the product but I keep gettin this message:
    "We could not recognize the serial number you entered. Please re-enter it, making sure each letter or number is correct."
    The serial number is in the form: RN106xxxxLB
    Why is it not recognizing the SN?

    836/3282
    Hi Brandon,
    If it runs Mac OS X, look
    from Apple Menu > About This Mac (click-click-click the grey line that says "Version...").
    Is it the same number as the one found at this location?
    --> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300266
    If it's not, there is a chance that one of the numbers is not properly recognized by Apple, since a motherboard replacement or something like that.
    Another website can (hopefully) give you more info:

    Let's hope if it appears you have two different numbers, that the other would work?
    Good luck!

  • Re: Satellite Serial number not recognized by Toshiba support

    Hello,
    I possess an A200 satellite laptop, and I am not able to find any driver for it on Toshiba site !!
    - its serial number (X8172841K) is not recognized , the message is : "Sorry , your product cannot be found" [translated from French]
    - the support site cannot detect my laptop model
    - none of the drivers that I have downloaded (closest to A200) accept to install
    Can u help me ?
    Regards,
    Sbastien (France)

    If the serial number is not detected by Automatic detection you can find drivers manually.
    Maybe you have the same A200 as friend of mine. His notebook has part number PSAE6E.
    To find right drivers please visit Toshiba download and support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Support Homepage and at the bottom you will find link Download drivers.
    Go there and choose your notebook model with right short model number.
    If you need more help please let me know.
    BTW: have you tried to find right drivers on Toshiba France support page?

  • G5 serial number not recognized

    I have purchased a new Mac G5 last weekend from Mac Mall (probably excess stock). I have just registered the machine and the feedback from the Apple site registration process tells me that the serial number I entered is not recognized. I verified it from system profiler on the machine to make sure I entered it correctly and I did. So what does this mean?

    Just to close out this post. I did receive ack from Apple via e-mail that the machine has been registered. I presumed that possibly because the G5 is discontinued, the new machine serials are anticipated by the system so didn't recognize mine.
    Thanks
