Odd question: retrieving a serial number
This is an odd question, and I can't find anywhere appropriate to ask it. Is there any way I can look up the Apple products that are registered to me? I had a MacBook stolen last week, and I need the serial number to report to the police on the odd chance that they find it. I can't seem to find the serial number anywhere in my files. Can I get that info from Apple? If so, how?
Try calling Apple for that info. I don't know of any place on their website that you can retrieve that information.

Type your questionI am trying to deactivate a version and transfer it to another computer, however I have lost the card with the serial number. Is there any way of retrieving the serial number?
Hello Irene,
you should have a look at Adobe's database, to see what's stored/saved about your accounts. Here you will find general infos about your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/account.html and to find your serial number have a look there http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

How can I retrieve my serial number before wiping my computer clean. I want to be able to re-install the Creative Suite CS6 Design and Web Premium programs. Please help.
Assuming you have Windows...
Googling "Belarc Advisor" points to
Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
Run that and it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about the insides of your computer, including software serial numbers.
Takes a while to run: could be 10-15 mins. Just leave it to complete its job.
Doesn't work on a Mac. -
Why is the code, in which I know Im right about, isn't retrieving my serial number?
I bought the copy from staples. Opened it and it has two CDs, one Mac and one Windows. Also is a card saying 'look on back for codes' DA DA DA. On the other side it says 'redemption code' exactly. Right below was a letter/nmber code, which fit exactly when entered. I might add that the once grey icon becomes blue after entering the last digit. So I know the type of code is correct, but it appears invalid since that's what's displaying in a yellow caption box after pushing enter

Hi,
I know one (only?) way to read the Serial number of a cFP network module is by reading it off the index.htm under ni-rt/system/www/index.htm.
Is there another/better way of retrieving this Serial number? If not, it will be nice to have this feature... may be as one of the Items on the CPU (like the 'Power Source,' etc.), or, preferably, as part of the RT Ping Controllers.VI's output.
Regards,
-KhalidKhalid,
You can also see the Serial Number by looking at the controller in MAX
and clicking on the Network Settings tab. You should see the
Serial Number in the Identification section right under Model.

I need to retrieve my serial number so I can sign into my Adobe Creative Cloud programs.
I have my Adobe ID and password, however, I need to retrieve my serial number so I can sign into my Adobe Creative Cloud programs. It has been 10 months since I used Illustrator and I need to update my resume on that program. I would appreciate your help.
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work
Log out of your Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account

HT1366 Any way to retrieve a serial number for my stolen Mac book without the receipt?
Please tell me there is a way to retrieve the serial number on my stolen Mac book I purchased about 5 years ago so I no longer have the receipt
Hello Jrose33,
Sorry to hear about your MacBook. I found a couple of resources that might help with locating the serial number for your MacBook.
If you registered yoru MacBook when you purchased it, you can view the serial number in the Support Profile of the Apple ID you registered it to:
Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Go to My Support Profile*.
Sign in with your Apple ID.
View your purchases in "My Products".
You can find the full article here:
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
If you never registered your MacBook with your Apple ID, you can also find the serial number on the packaging:
How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Retrieve mac serial number from Time Machine backup
I recently had my 2007 Macbook stolen and I have no record of my serial number to report to police/insurance. I've tried looking it up from my apple ID but it's so old that the mac outdates any apple ID I've ever had. Is there any way to retrieve the serial number from a Time Machine backup?
Hi Roxpat,
It is possible to export and import selected mailboxes with the Mac OS X Mail application, and that would allow you to select only the mail that you want. Am I right that is what you want to do?
This article explains how you can do what you want -
Mail (Yosemite): Import or export mailboxes
Export the mailboxes from your older Mail application on the previous computer, then move the exported mailboxes, then import them into the new Mac's Mail application.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HT204053 how do retrieve my serial number if ipad stolen
I recenlty had my Ipad stolen. I dont have the box and did register the ipad. It has been used in the cloud. Is thre a way to retrieve the serial number.
If you still have the box that the computer came in, the serial # is listed on there.
If the computer was registered, call Customer Relations - 1800-767-2775. They may be able to track your serial number after you provide them w/your name, address and/or other personal information.
Hopefully, you already reported your computer stolen to the police and your homeowners insurance. Your homeowners insurance company would have the serial # also.
Maybe you are looking for
