HT1349 should i give my macbook pro serial number to my employer

should i give my macbook pro serial number to my employer

If your employer bought it, it is theirs and they have a right to request what they want (e.g., for inventory purposes). If you bought it, it is yours. You can then decide if it is in your interest to let them know the serial number. I don't know your work environment but if somebody from IT came by would it make sense they be able to uniquely identify it as belonging to you?

Why is my macbook pro serial number showing as invalid

I have just bought a new 13" retina display Macbook Pro from an online seller. Trying to check it out, apple's website says the serial number is invalid. What the **** have I bought?!

You may have to check the online reseller directly and ask about this matter.
And note they have a different policy of returns and exchanges than Apple
itself. A retail Apple Store or the Apple online (company) store is different
than an authorized independent retailer who resells product. So you should
check with them about a return or replacement. They may also be able to
figure out why they sent you a product that cannot be officially verified.
Good luck in this matter...!

I cannot find my MacBook Pro serial number anywhere!?

I just recently purchased my MacBook Pro from a seller locally on Craigslist. I couldn't find the serial number on the surface of the laptop (under the battery) or through the system:
I have been searching all over Apple's website for this, but I cannot find any information on it!
Please don't tell me it's "stolen" because every product I have registered goes through fine and I get no error. Additionally, the guy I bought it from said that he had a fresh installation of the new OSX Lion and it didn't give a serial number.
I'm new to the Apple Mac products, and when I saw my cousin's old MacBook I was able to find his serial number was engraved behind his battery.
Mine doesn't show anything engraved at all, besides what model #'s the laptop contains.
Further info:
15"
Model #: A1226

The 1st picture shows as such because I clicked it. I'm assuming this is what you're talking about:
I was stupid because I completely forgot when I met up with him that I texted him asking what the serial # was and he didn't reply.
Then when I met up with him, he even told me to go over the mac, test it out, and ensure myself that I was happy with it. As I looked for the serial number, I didn't see it, and that's when I asked him why it was missing.
He said the number erased because he had to do a "fresh installation" of the OSX Lion. I read in other articles that people have had to do this with the older MBP models (aka core 2 duo) and it has caused the serial number to erase from the specs.
As for the last picture I put, I just noticed that there was something there...then I thought to myself that's where the badge would be.
I've been looking all over in Google for my model and where the serial number should be, but can't seem to find it...
I guess I'll deal with it as is...
Only weird thing is, that if it were "stolen," then why have I been able to update the software from Apple without any issues?

Macbook Pro - Serial Number question

I have a Macbook Pro (week 17) that I picked up the beginning of June. It does not have the glossy screen. I registered my MBP and my AppleCare. When I put my serial number into the field on the support site about how much longer my warranty will last, it says I have a "MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)." Is this an error or are all MBPs considered glossy after a certain date even if the screen is not glossy. Has anybody else noticed this?
Thanks

This seems to be very common. I've seen the same thing all along for my 15" with matte screen. The web site reported it as glossy when I registered the MBP, when it was at Apple for a repair, and when I enrolled my AppleCare Protection Plan. Several others have reported this as well.
I wouldn't worry about it. I'm not sure they can correct it until they correct whatever overall glitch is making it so common.

Can Apple remotely activate 'Find My Mac' if given a MacBook Pro serial number?

I have a registered MacBook Pro that was stolen on 9-11.
I live on an American AF Base in Okinawa, Japan and filed a police report.
I have my serial number and have 'Find My Mac' apps for iPad, iPhone and MacBook.
My Apple ID recognizes that I have the feature fo the iPad & iPod, but NOT the MacBook Pro.
How do I get them to REMOTELY push the app to my MacBook when this PUNK gets online?
****** in Oki...

You can sync data without enabling "Find My Mac":

Why has my macbook pro serial number changed after getting it repaired?

I just noticed that the serial number in the 'about this mac' information has a different serial number to what is on the back of the macbook pro, which is the same serial number on my apple care/phone . I had a lot of issues with my macbook pro it was sent to repair in july 2013 then in august 2013. Why has the serial number changed? I tried using my original serial number to use the online apple care service however it did not recgonice my serial number when I tried the new serial number it regconised it but said I did not have apple care but I do. I don't know what the apple team have done to my macbook as it requires to go in for repair again.

Was it repaired at Apple or an authorized service provider?
You need to contact the repair place/store and/or call Apple and make them aware of the problem - sooner rather than later. Make sure you give them the repair/case number so they can find the paperwork for it.
I had a logic board replaced and the tech also did not do anything - I called Apple and the tech came back to my house to take care of it. It's important because you want to make sure that your Applecare is being associated with the right serial number.

I am trying to reinstall CS5 Production Pro-serial number is invalid

I am trying to reinstall CS5 Production Pro on a new computer. The computers that I had this program on have died. I am trying to reinstall on a new computer. I have been on hold for almost an hour and the customer care chat I've been on hold for that long as well. Can anyone offer any help. This is frustrating.

Artistgirl1967 are you using the registered serial number under your account at http://www.adobe.com/? You can find more details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.
If you are using the registered serial number then did you migrate/copy/transfer the current installation of Creative Suite 5 to this computer?

>enter my CC serial number
I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

Serial number is invalid for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 within CS4

Hi,
I purchased Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Design Standard. Upon installing the four programs it contains (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Adobe Acrobat Pro) I keyed in the serial number and InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop worked fine, but Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 kept showing a red 'X' at the end of the serial key input, saying my "serial number was invalid".
1. Incorrect tech support advice #1: Adobe tech told me to de-install and re-install from Adobe purchase e-mail link only instead of from trial versions. I did this, and then none of the programs worked or accepted the serial number. I went back to trial versions, and again 3 out of the 4 programs took the serial number - all EXCEPT Acrobat.
2. Incorrect tech support advice #2: Opened a case # online and waited a week for some kind of help, but once again got on the phone. This time I was told that the key was to select "Universal English" as the main option. Again I de-installed Acrobat and re-installed. There were no options for "universal English" ( you have to choose between English, Francais and Deutsch). Only when I got to the End User License Agreement was there an option to choose "English (International)". So I did as advised. Once again I entered my serial number and got a big red 'X'. I'm at the end of my Adobe rope.....
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks.

oh man, i think i am having a bigger problem now. I tried to uninstall the whole CS4 suite and was prompt to enter my serial key, to my horror, the big red cross appears. Making my serial key invalid for the whole suite. What is going on man. I think this really screw up my system, i am using vista 64. I am going to reformat my computer and try to reinstall, but i did not deactivate. Will this cause my just bought CS4 useless???? I am starting to get worried.

While running a trial version, I installed the product from the CD. It installed the newly purchased product concurrently. While trying to register, Adobe detects the XI Pro installation, but comes back with a message that the serial number is invalid. I checked the number and it is exacly what is printed in the CD sleve. I tried to chat with an agent, but it is impossible. No matter how many hours I wait, nobody picks up my request.

Where I try to install Adobe pro 9 I receive a message my serial number is invalid

I have an Adobe Pro 9 serial number. However when i try to install a full version of the software my serial number is invalid. I have checked with the agents in the Chat support and they told me to post my issue here. The Chat support agent told me that the serial number i'm having is a volume license. Please advise.

Hi Farid.zulkifli,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
If the upgrade serial number is of Retail version & the previous qualifying serial number is of volume, then it is an incorrect upgrade path.
You will need to contact Adobe Support http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 & get approval for re-serialization only when you have valid proof of purchase as per company guide lines. The discretion to re-serialize depends on the proof of purchase & concerned Team for approval.
Regards,
Rajshree
