If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID?)

Hi MOIA323,
Registration of your iPhone is not actually necessary since the service and support is actually linked to the serial number of the iPhone, not to you. See this article -

  • According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID.

    I bought an iMac from an ARC thrift store that had been donated.  When I try to register the iMac to my AppleID to see if there's any Applecare left I get the message "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID." 
    So how does one register/re-register a device that someone else no longer owns?

    You will need to contact Apple by phone and get your issue resolved.

  • Adding IOS Device on My Support, serial number is registered to another Apple ID

    I bought a second iPhone and it is unlocked and i can upgrade IOS. iCloud is connected. How can i add this iPhone to My Support. I get this Message:
    According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out.

    I had the same issue.  The phone is still registered to the previous owner under his/her Apple ID account at "https://supportprofile.apple.com/"  Your will need to contact him/her to get it un-registered.
    Hope this helps. 

  • If I want to register my iPad 4 at Apple Support Profile and enter the serial number, it says that  this serial number is registered to another Apple ID.

    I only have one Apple ID for my iPhone and my iPad and the iPad is definetly new.
    What can I do?

    It may look new but it's possible that someone have used it before. You may want to take this issue up with the shop that you bought from.

  • The serial number is registered to another person!

    Hello.
    Please tell me what should I do?
    I bought the phone in the store. I use it for almost a year. I wanted to make it to the list of their devices, but the identifier writes that the serial number is registered to another person!
    How to fix it?

    What store did you buy it in? A carrier or Apple or another third party store? I ask because many times some stores sell iPhones as though they are new but referbished or even used...meaning it would have been originally registered to the first buyer... and thus the warranty will also not be full or even expired!

  • I purchased a used Macbook Pro and the serial number is registered to another user.

    How can I register this computer under my name?

    That is not correct as far as the Applecare extended warranty. It has to be transfered.

  • My serial number is registered to different apple ID?

    I looked at my 3 apple ID support profiles today and noticed my iPad and iPhone are not registered. When I tried to add them, I get a response letting me know they have been registered to a different apple ID. What? How do I correct this and/or find out the apple ID associated with my devices?

  • Serial Number of my Macbook Pro is registered to another Apple ID

    Hi everyone!
    I tryed to register my Macbook Pro in my support profile and found out that:
    "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out."
    I don't have any other Apple ID for sure. I've bought my macbook in used condition through some not official organization, that sells used computers. And there is no way to find out former owner.
    What shall i do?

    I found the answer in other discussions, sorry for interrupting

  • How can Icheck which Apple IDs my serial number are registered to?

    My iPod Touch model A1367 was recntly stolen. I came to iTunes to see if could ever see who has been recently using my device so that I may track it down. I went to My Support Profile > Register & Add Products and typed in my iPod Touch's serial number, but apparently this message comes out "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products". I was wonderinng if I could see all the Apple IDs that have been used on my iPod. So can I... somehow?

    There is nothing you can do. Apple will not help. Just report it to the po\lice and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Registering iPod Nano 4th with AppleId - registered to another Apple ID.

    Hello, today i was trying to register my iPod Nano to the new Apple Id service. I'm the owner of the iPhone, MBPro and iPod Nano 4th. I registered iPhone and MBP but for the iPod Nano i'm getting the error:
    According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out.
    The fact is that i have only one appleid and it's the one i'm using on itunes store and i'm sure i registered it with iPod Nano 2 yrs ago, when i bought it. But how do i un-register it with the other apple id if i don't remember it at all?

    Are you the original owner of the devices which say they're registered to another Apple ID? You will need to call Apple or go to the store to have this straightened out.

  • My Support Profile says iPhone 4S is registered to another Apple ID?

    I am trying to register my iPhone 4S to my Support Profile and I'm getting this message:
    According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out.
    This doesn't make any sense because I know that I am logged into my one and only Apple Account on my phone. How would I fix this? Or figure out what is wrong?

    You do have two Apple ID's...if you setup a 4S, you would have had to use an Apple ID that is a verified email address. rooroo17x2 is also an Apple ID.

  • HT5787 What do I do if my iPod was stolen and I checked my support profile and when I entered the serial # I got a message saying it has been registered to another Apple ID? Is there a way to find out that Apple ID so that we can locate the iPod?

    What should I do if my iPod has been stolen and when I checked my support profile and entered my serial # and I received a message that the serial # had been registered to another Apple ID account? Is there a way to find out the Apple ID that it was registered to? I have already checked find my iPod and it shows my iPod is offline. I have already filed a police report.

    No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
    Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.
    Regards.

  • 2 of my devices registered to another Apple ID

    I was registering my apple products to my Apple ID and my iMac and iPod touch could not be registered, it says "According to our records, this serial number is associated to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other added products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID". I don't understand why cause I have already registered some other devices as iPhone and Apple TV.
    Would appreciate if someone could help me!!

    Are you the original owner of the devices which say they're registered to another Apple ID? You will need to call Apple or go to the store to have this straightened out.

  • Cannot register My iPhone serial number, it says device registered to another apple id

    Hello i have bought a New iPhone 4S in july 2013, for some reason I cannot get it registered to the Support site because it says that the sn is already registered with another apple id (but i dont have any others)

    That was the most logic response of course.
    The phone was indeed new, I have bought it in a store in Italy (I have got the receipt); how can I get my serial number registered to my account? Shall I go to an Apple Store?
