Is there any way to retrieve a lost serial number?

I had to do an erase and install on my entire operating system about a month back, and so I now need to re-install my Final Cut Pro (V 4.5).
The lame thing is, in the three years since I got it, I seem to have misplaced both pieces of paper (the CD sleeve and the Installation manual) which would have the serial number on it.
Is there anything that can be done, whether conferring with Apple, or some other step, to retrieve the serial number so that I can re-install from the CD that I have?
G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

If you did an erase and install, the chance your old FCP ID file is still sitting on your disk waiting to be recovered is slim to none.
Call Apple and plead your case. Keep looking for the documentation! You do have the receipt for the purchase?
Still, don't be too surprised if they tell you, "Sure we'll send you one - right after you in $1299 for shipping and handling."
Good Luck.

  • I lost my iphone the other day, and have tried find my iphone, but its offline. is there any way to put my specific serial number under a lost tag?

    my iphone was lost on friday. Find iPhone on iclkoud says its offline. can i put my serial number of my iphone under a lost title or something so when someone tries to put a new plan on it or register it it will alert me??

    If it is showing off line, either the battery is dead, the SIM has been removed or the iPhone has been restored. Report it to you carrier. Some offer blacklisting. You can also send a remote wipe to the phone via iCloud. There was also the option to send you an email if the phone is located when you were in Find My iPhone. Report it to law enforcement, change the passwords on all accounts that were on the device. Did you have a passcode on it?

  • Is there any way to retrieve a lost email password?

    Can't remember the security answers and don't want to wait until Monday to call AT&T. Any suggestions?

    What password are you trying to retrieve? A Mac Mail password? If so it's stored in your Keychain.
    Open Keychain and type your email address in the search bar.

    I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
    Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

    If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
    You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for  4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

    The other day i deleted my email accounts off of my ipod and only reloaded a few of them. today i looked at my notes to look at a project i had typed on my notes because i didnt have paper and pen around to write it and i didnt want to froget. I reloaded the rest of my emails in hope that everything would reappear but sadly only some of them from 2010 loaded. Recently i had update some of the files and they were like they were when i first created them there were alos ones that i had deleted long ago. There are other notes i had made that were really important to me to andi wouldn't be able to remember every single one. Help Please!

    To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
    If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
    In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone if photostream was not on?

    I recently lost my iphone and I cannot find it using find my iphone because it says it is offline.  I had the "icloud backup" set to on, but I had photostream set to off.  Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone without photostream being on?  The description of icloud backup says that it automatically backs up your camera roll so I'm praying there is a way. Help please =(

    Your iCloud backup includes your camera roll photos and videos by default (unless you excluded it from the backup in settings).  To recover them, you would need to restore the backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod touch) as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.  (You couldn't recover them by restoring the backup to an iPad, however.)
    Be aware that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to do this before this expires.

  • My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
