Is your iPhone serial number linked to your appleID?
My iPhone 4s was stolen on wednesday, and with the insurance looking like they're not going to pay out, due to a 7 day lapse of cover after you update your phone (pathetic i know), I was wondering whether your iPhone serial number is;
a) able to be changed by the thieves.
b) linked to appleID.
I'm wondering if someone tries to create a new ID with my serial number, whether it would report to apple, or alert me perhaps?
Completely lost without my phone had only had it for 3 weeks.
no it's not linked to appleID
but if you report the IMEI to the police they get all phone companies to block the phone from being used
at least they do where I live

Is it safe to give someone your iPhone serial number, when you want to sell the phone.... So they can 'verify' it?
Probably safer than giving them the IMEI number.
Just use a buyback service like Glyde or Gazelle. -
Please enter your original serial number, or insert your logic XSkey
I just re-installed Logic Pro on my new Mac, but upon launching, it asks me for serial #. Apparently, I'm using the "upgrade" serial, so after I put in the number, it says "Please enter your original serial number, or insert your logic XSkey". I've searched my big Logic 8 box, but all I have are manuals and disks, with no serial #. I can't find the old dongle either, since I've been using without it on my previous computer. How do I get past this?
Thanks for that post Bee Jay,
Just tried doing this, didn't work, after closing logic and re-opening without the XSKey it brings up the same 2 boxes, first to insert my upgrade serial and then the original serial. I really hope there is going to be an upgrade to fix this problem as otherwise it looks like ill be stuck with XSKey after all.

Stolen iPhone serial number associated with another AppleID
Hey Guys
If I give one of you my stolen iPhone's serial number, would you be able to tell if it's associated with another persons AppleID?
I would love to know who is using my iPhone...
Thanks
-BruceYou should assume it's stolen, though there's also the possibility you or someone else in the house used a different Apple ID to register it when you first got it, and don't remember.
Find my iPhone will still work regardless of who it's registered to. No one can sign out of iCloud (and therefore Find my iPod) on the device without entering your Apple ID and password )the one used to sign into iCloud). -
Hi everyone! I have iphone 4s, which was bought about 6 mounts later and has serial number C2*******TD6 and IMEI ****. When i try to check warranty on the page https://selfsolve.apple.com/wcResults.do i see
We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us.
And if i try to enter IMEI here i see
Our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide the serial number for your replacement product to find the support and warranty coverage information. For more information, please contact us.
Does it means, that I was bought a non exist iPhone? Or it was refurbished? I need an official answer to take them to seller because I was bought iPhone as a new.
Thank you.
<Edited By Host>Not from Apple reseller( Im apologize, that you right) Seconв question: how can i contact apple via email to get an official answer?

Is there another way to find the serial number with only your ID and password because apparently I never backed up my device on my computer?
If you registered it with Apple, you could try:

Hi,
I had purchased an iPhone 5 last month and got the OS updated to iOS 7, yesterday.
The data cable was of very bad quality and when I took it to the retailer for replacement, they said that its not covered under the one year warranty.
Secondly, I have also been experiencing network coverage issues with this phone. So, I decided to contact apple care through the web. When entering my serial number/IMEI it says, "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."
Does anybody have any idea what the reason behind this could be.
- First time with iPhone and frustrated.
BrijuIf you purchased the iPhone from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller,
contact them for assistance. If you purchased elsewhere, go back
to that retailer and get them to give you a new iPhone or your money
back.
If you have checked the serial number carefully and re-entered it
and that gave you the same error message, contact Apple if purchased
from Apple or authorized retailer; otherwise you have been scammed
and need to pursue the matter with the business you obtained the
iPhone from. -
i am going to buy iphone 5 32 gb from some before i bought i check the serial number of that iphone on apple web site to cross check but massage is appering that ......'
We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us....
can any one tell me what is that mean..... replace what ?In most cases, what you said is true...however, this is not always the case. Take myself for example...
1: I posted my phone online to sell
2: Someone saw my serial number and called AppleCare to get a replacement phone
3: An inferior AppleCare representative bypassed a component validation (check serial number to the device on hand) and approved the replacement under my AppleCare plan.
4: After noticing this (about 4 days after it happened) and a trip to Apple and a call to AppleCare, all was resolved. My phone is back to being covered under AppleCare+
5: I learned my lesson.
So, as you can see, there is a chance that it can be something else. Although, if the person selling the phone notices, it shouldn't take long to resolve it. Chances are that it is what you said.
Hope this helps -

Do you have to disclose your serial number when selling your laptop
do you have to disclose your serial number when selling your laptop
eBay is a buyer's paradise efemino. You have little choice but to yield to a buyer's will, however unreasonable it may be.
Buyer fraud is rampant. This unfortunate state of affairs has turned away many legitimate sellers of used equipment in recent years. eBay is now dominated by vendors beyond the reach of US law selling $1.99 items with free shipping from Hong Kong.
I am hardly a big seller, but when I sell electronic equipment I include a photograph of the serial numbers or other identifying marks right in the listing. I also put tamper-proof seals on anything that can be opened, and a note in the listing explaining that tampered items will not be accepted for return. I have never had a single return or complaint, but I have no intention of competing with the myriad of bottom feeders offering lower prices. Consider adopting similar practices when selling used Macs. You can include a sceenshot of About This Mac showing its serial number, as well one of the case exterior, to thwart fraudulent attempts to swap logic boards.
Without incontrovertible evidence of buyer fraud, a complaint to eBay will go nowhere. Take back the MBA, switched or not, and absorb the loss. Refusing to cooperate will just get your PayPal account frozen so that you can no longer conduct business.
Isn't eBay wonderful? -
How to get the iphone serial number in application?
hello, everyone
i really want to konw how to get the iphone serial number in aplication ? As it's different from uniqueIdentifier ....
thank youMichele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
There is a minor correction to be made :
After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
that you will find on the physical serial tag.
The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command. -
i used time machine to reinstall all products on a new imac machine. everything seems to be installed but when i open aperture it asks for my serial # and when i put it in it says that is your upgrade serial.. we want the original serial #. that box is long gone, how do i find that serial #
If you cannot find your original serial number, you will have to contact Apple with a proof of purchase, see these links:

i just tried to use my iphone as modem for my laptop but once i select the iphone at my network connections it ask me for my password, does anybody knows if that information is either my iphone serial number, fcc id, IC, etc
If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.
