Looking up Serial Number or other details of my stolen macbook

Hello,
My house was broken into last week and my macbook was stolen. I have insurance but I don't have any of the details of my macbook (stupid, I know). I bought it second-hand but brand-new in January 2008, so I don't have a reciept. I've moved countries twice since then, so I don't have the box or any of the original paperwork. I'm just at a bit of a dead end with trying to make an insurance claim for it.
I know I registered it to me, and I remember the date I did it. Is there any way I can look up the details of it, or ask Mac to re-send me the serial number, or confirm in anyway that a macbook was indeed registered to me on that date?
Also, I can't see any customer support email address, otherwise I would have just sent this query as an email to Mac. I live in rural SE Asia right now, so I don't have access to a mac store and phoning support is pretty exxy.
Man, writing all that down just makes me feel like this might be a lost cause! But any suggestions or advice would be so, so welcome.
Thank you!

    Do you want your Mac's serial number? What model Mac? Click on the Apple in the top menu & select About This Mac. Then select More Info. The Serial number should be in the window that opens.

    I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

    Check your support profile if you may have registered it there.

    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.

  • Serial number from other language (student edition) on English trial

    Hello,
    I am studying in Japan now, therefore I am qualified for purchasing the Student and Teacher's Edition for Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.
    The problem is that they only sell the Japanese-language version of the software. I cannot undertand japanese so I need to have the english-language version installed in my PC.
    My question is:
    If I download, from the North America Adobe page, a trial version for Adobe Photoshop Elements 8; and then I purchase here in Japan the japanese version of Elements: can I use the serial number corresponding to the japanese version for activating the english-language trial version?
    The Photoshop FAQ is not clear to me, since I actually want to continue using the same language as my trial, but using a serial number corresponding to other language version:
    I would like to install my product in a different language than the language I installed the product in during my trial period. Can I uninstall and reinstall my application in a different language?
    Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements offer the option to install the application in any one of many languages available.
    If you would prefer to install a purchased product in a language other than the language you installed during your trial period, you can simply go back to the original installer (whether DVD or Electronic Software Delivery), install the correct language, and then enter your serial number.
    If for some reason, it is not possible to use the japanese serial number on an english-language trial version; let me propose another situation:
    Considering that I have uninstalled the trial version from my PC, if I am able to borrow an Elements 8's English-language installation CD from a friend, and then, when the serial number is requested, can I use the serial number I received when purchasing the japanese-language edition?
    I have searched the Internet and I could not find anything regarding this unusual topic.
    I would appreciate it so much if someone could give me some clearance on this matter.
    Best regards,
    Ricardo

    Hi, I'm Marko. I am also staying in Japan but I'm not fluent in Japanese language.
    I just wanna make sure, does this also apply to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?
    I checked through amazon.co.jp that I can purchase the software from there, but it's written that it's a Japanese edition.
    I wonder if somehow I buy it, will it be crashed with my non-Japanese PC?
    Or as Eduardo said, even though the package (software cover and everything) is written in Japanese, but when I install it in my computer it will offer the English option?
    I just got informed about this student edition from a friend. I'm really excited about this but a bit worry if I won't understand all the menu and settings.
    I'm looking forward for your answer, thank you.

  • I looked up serial number in About This Mac and Support site says it isn't

    I can't find my Apple Care plan or read the bottom of the computer but I looked up the serial number on my iMac under About This Mac. I copied and pasted it into the box to get a call for technical support and I get a message saying it is not the right number. Now what? How can I call them to get support without the number?

    A valid Apple product serial number is eleven characters long, does not contain the letters I or O—though the numerals 1 and 0 are valid characters—contains the numeral 0 though 9 in the third position and the numeric string 01 through 52 in the fourth and fifth positions.
    On your model, it's found screened beneath a barcode on the underside of your foot, or can be found as you were instructed using About This Mac or using the System Profiler application. If your logic board has been replaced and is not the original unit installed at the time of manufacture, your logic board may not have the serial number embedded in firmware. In that case, it is not available to display using the About This Mac dialog or the System Profile application.
    The most reliable source of such information is typically the number screened on, inscribed or affixed by label to your Apple product.

  • Can't deactivate my serial number on other computers

    Hi,
    I currently have my serial number for Photoshop Elements registered on two other computers, both of which have been taken to be destroyed as I now have a new laptop.  Please can someone tell me how on earth I can use my software on my new laptop as it keeps saying the serial number is registered to the other two computers.
    Thankyou

    You will need to activate your product  using the phone method.  When you enter the serial number, you should also have an option to activate using the phone method.  Select this option and the toll-free number of your nearest Adobe Office will appear on your screen.  Use it and explain your situation to the telephonist and they will help you out. 
    Make sure the system is off-line when you enter the serial number otherwise it might just try to connect automatically to adobe servers for verification purposes.
    Have ready your e-mail address and serial number just in case they ask you again.
    Good luck.

  • Buying preowned-can I use serial number or other to get specs?

    I want to get accurate information about preowned iMacs and I have the serial and other numbers from the side of the box..... is there a way to enter any information on the apple site to get the original specifications?

    Query by serial number
    Apple's warrenty database will identify the type of Mac you have.  Your serial number is securely sent.  Provides more information for newer machines.

    This site provides more information.  Best for older machines.  Note, serial number is sent in the clear.
    "A serial number is a unique, identifying number or group of numbers and letters assigned to an individual piece of hardware or software. It's used for various things depending on the product / brand but what is your Mac's serial number for and more importantly... what is it hiding and what can it do for you ?"
