My ipad mini was stolen and i have activated the find my phone to lock it. how can i get the serial number off my itunes or icloud profile? and what are the chances that the find my iphone app works when someome erases the device?

my ipad mini has been stolen and i have activated the find my iphone to lock. now it is only a wifi device so what are the chances that a person can get hold of it and log onto wifi without the password of my device to unlock. does that not make the app rather less useful as i have to hope that the person is apt enough to log onto the internet but not enough to erase it and start afresh. is it possible to find my device even afte someone has erased it?

"Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

    There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

    You mean the Aperture serial number?
    If you have a second installation of Aperture, you can see the serial number in the "About" panel from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture.
    Else you will have to contact Apple with a proof of purchase for a replacement serial number, see the following support page:

    Why do you need the serial number? The phone can't be tracked by either serial number or IMEI.

  • How can I get my serial number from my iphone 4s?

    I forgot my lock code and now my phone is disabled.  How can I get the serial number if I cant get to the main screen or open the phone?  I have an iphone 4s

    Not sure why you need the serial # if you phone is locked.
    Plug it into iTunes, and you can get the serial #, and also unlock your phone.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • Stolen ipad 4. How can i get my serial number from Apple?HELP!!

    My Apple iPad 4 was stolen i do not have the box anymore because when i bought it i was living as an aupair in the USA so on my return after that about 2 months ago my iPad got stolen i never wrote the serial number down did email it to my father though but he lost that email. PLEASE HELP! how can i find my serial number from Apple, they surely should have my serail number on my apple ID???

    It seems it was never registered to your Apple ID.
    Do you have an iTunes backup of the iPad?
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Click the Devices tab.
    Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data 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.

  • How can I get a serial number for Photoshop CS6 when I have the student version of Photoshop CS5?

    Is my CS5 serial number supposed to work for CS6?

    No.
    You must pay for CS6 and then you will receive a new CS6 serial number.
    Or join the Creative  Cloud for a monthly fee.

  • How can i get a serial number for my iphone 4s

    my iphone stuck in recovery mode. i need a serial number how can get it fixed?

    How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product
    A serial number will not get you out of recovery mode. Try this:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
