My MacBook Air's Serial Number Says "Unknown"

My mac book airs serial number says unknown and i believe it is the reason why i can not activate iMessage or FaceTime how do i fix it i can get an appointment in the Apple Store

Have  you had the main board replaced?  This happened to me a few years back and it was due to the fact that Apple replaced the main board and did not input the serial number.  You must have that number in order to log in.

  • CS3 installed on macbook air (yosemite) - serial number entered, only giving trial - how do i get past trial?

    I have bought a new macbook air.  I installed CS3 design premium, entered the serial number which it accepted.  It recognised it was an upgrade from CS2 and asked for the serial number from CS2.  I entered the serial number but it was not recognised.  I uninstalled CS3 and proceeded to install CS2 first just incase but the installers do not work with yosemite.  So I am stuck with a perfectly good CS3 program which is going to expire in a few days at the end of the trial.
    Does anyone know a way around this that I can get the serial number to work to get rid of the trial program?  I have just been on chat with Adobe but they are unable to give support on chat for CS3!

    Susank5948872 I am sorry you are facing difficulties locating the eligible serial number to install the upgrade license of Design Premium Creative Suite 3.  I reviewed the account you used to post to this forum but there no Adobe software titles registered to the Adobe ID/e-mail address used to post to this forum.
    You can find information on how to locate your registered Adobe software titles at Find your serial number quickly.  If you are not able to locate the registered software titles then please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care with alternate e-mail addresses and phone numbers which may have been utilized to register the software title.

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

    I am trying to license my recent download of Lightroom 5 onto my recently purchased Macbook with the serial number of the disk I purchased last year for my Windows PC (an upgrade from Lightroom 4).  I receive an error "The serial number you entered is invalid".  Why does CC not recognize this as a valid serial number?

    Soyouca how did you install Photoshop Lightroom?  Please uninstall the current installation using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed please download a fresh copy of the installation files from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the full installer so please download the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 5.
    You may be asked to enter your serial number for Photoshop Lightroom 4.  You can find information on how to locate the serial numbers under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

    I bought photoshop elements 11 on disc. Im trying to download it to my MAC  via the serial number, says it is invalid. I know its valid, as I've already used this version on my PC. Im on MAC at the moment.

    I bought from Amazon. The PC disc works fine on my PC, but when I try to load the MAC version on my iMac, it says the serial number is invalid. It's Elements Version 11 by the way.

  • Macbook air 13" item number

    Is there a difference between 13" macbook air with model number MC504LL/A and MC504ZP/A?
    My friend and i got it on the same day but noticed the model number is different.
    Can someone advise?
    Thanks

    Model numbers after the 504 may just be country codes for the components such as keyboards. I see that you are not in the United States so that your keyboard may not be the same as mine.

  • Can you tell a refurbish from brand new macbook by the Serial Number?

    Just wondering if there is any way to tell a refurbished macbook from a brand new macbooking using the serial number?
    Thanks

    So what I'm wondering is if I purchase a macbook online from them there's no guarantee that it's new??? It could be a refurb?
    No, if you buy a new MacBook it will be new. If you go to the page and choose a refurbished computer, then you'll get a refurbished computer. There is no way to check the serial number until it arrives. If you went to an Apple retail store, the serial number is on the outside of the box. You could ask to see the box before you pay for it.

  • Iphone 5 32GB white bought in Bangkok. Serial number color mis-match. serial number says should be black

    I just bought an Iphone 5 32GB from MBK in Bangkok Thailand.  Known for selling fakes.  This phone was sealed and feels and looks and functions as good as my other iphone 5 I have had for 2 years..It was cheaper than one with Thailand warranty because it comes with no warranty.  These are supposed to be imported directly from USA, Korea , Singapore or Hong Kong and are probably old stock now.   The issue I can't solve is that it is a 32GB white but the serial number checks out as a 32GB BLACK!  In all the websites I have checked, the serial number says the same thing.  The box says it is white and model MD636LL/A .  The websites also say that this model should be an AT&T orderded Iphone 5 32GB BLACK .  The white one is supposed to have the code MD637LL/A.  So something is not right of course. Apple would not make those mistakes.  But the phone, to the best of everything I have checked, is the real thing.  Any ideas out there on what's going on? its been driving me nuts.

    It's also quite possible that it was hacked to unlock it from AT&T and will lock back to them when you next restore or update the operating system. That the box was sealed means nothing, since it's easy to reseal a box. You bought a used iPhone that was repaired or otherwise altered and which may have any number of issues and problems.
    This is the sort of risk you take when you buy from unauthorized sources.
    Regards.
