Is the serial number for an iPad mini specific to the gb's on the device?

I just bought a 32 gb iPad mini off eBay with some damage.  Taking it to the Apple store, I found out I was able to get a new one free of charge because it was under warranty.  They did this by checking the serial number.  After I came home, I realized they gave me a 16 gb instead of a 32 gb, like I had ordered off eBay. Is the serial number specific to the amount of gb's on the device or did the Apple store just mess up?

If in fact it was a 16GB iPad, you can file a complaint with eBay and the seller will probably have to give you a partial refund.

    hi where can i fine my serial number for my ipad mine was stolen

    It would be on your box.  If you registered it with Apple, you could also sign into your support profile and see it there (https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do).  Finally, if you ever backed it up using iTunes you can go to iTunes preferences>Devices and hover you mouse over the backup to reveal the serial number.

  • How can I get my serial number for my iPad from Apple?

    My iPad 1 was stolen and I need the serial number but the box is not available to me at this time. Does Apple have the serial number?

    Having the serial number does no good.  Apple does not attempt to track lost devices by serial number.  Of course if you are trying to fill out an insurance form for reimbursement of a stolen device, then that is another matter.  It all depends on where you bought the device.  The seller would have to have a record of the sales, one that includes the serial number.  Contact the seller.  Better still, search for your receipt.

  • Registration does not recognize my serial number for new iPad

    I have tried multiple times but it says product serial number does not exist

    Tccriv-
    Go to Settings-General-About and see if there is a serial number listed.
    You may have a defective iPad.  I suggest you show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If the Genius agrees, you may get a replacement on the spot.
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • How to activate phone number for cellular iPad mini?

    I Have a iPad mini with cellular and a phone # for it from Verizon. I can't find the way to activate the phone number given from Verizon to use for iMessage. Im swritings it only shows option for adding an email.

    That phone number will not work for iMessages, so you cannot activate the iPad for that purpose. You need to have an iPhone in order to use that number as your caller ID and the number at which you can be reached, Cellular iPads have no phone capabilities. They use cellular data to connect to the Internet when there is no Wifi network to connect to. A WiFi only iPad can only connect to the Internet when using a WiFi network.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

  • "lost" my iPad.  Will the GPS still work after battery dies?  Also, how can I get the serial number for police report?

    Please help!  I "lost" my iPad at a local store.  The GPS on my phone shows the iPad is still in the store (over 24 hours.)  I've searched every square inch of the store and cannot find it.  I fear it may have been "stashed" by an employee.  The police need a serial number for a report.  How do I get that?  Will I still be able to locate it via GPS after the battery dies?

    Did you register it with Apple? If not, you would have had to write it down. Once the device goes out of wifi or if the thief turns wifi off...its gone. All they have to do is restore it as new, you wont be able to detect it again. Sounds bleak I know but its hard to get it back once its gone...no matter what Apple says.
    I really hope it turns up...I hate thiefs. Best of luck.

  • Where do I find the serial number for my macbook pro

    My computer told me I was infected with 6 bad viruses.  An apple mac protection package wants me to sign up to get rid of these viruses.  The mac protection package is asking me for a serial number for my mac. I give it the serial number listed in my apple information but it says it is the wrong serial number.  Where can I get the serial number so mac protection can clean up my macbook pro??????

    It sounds like what you're seeing is a malicious pop-up on the web. Do you have anti-virus software of some kind installed? If not, note that that's the only thing that can scan your computer for malware. A web site cannot do that, but it's trivial to display a pop-up in your web browser that looks very official, telling you viruses have been found and that you need to install their software to remove them. That's a classic malware trick... the software the pop-up wants you to install is the malware.
    Can you provide a screenshot of the window warning you that you have malware? Press command-shift-4, then the space bar, then click the window. The screenshot will be placed in a file on your desktop. Add it to a post here using the camera icon in the post editor's toolbar. (Don't drag it into the post or copy and paste it... that will appear to work for you, but we won't be able to see it.)
