Phone replaced, unable to add/register replacement iphone5s - "According to our records, this serial number is registered with to another Apple ID!"

Hello everyone,
A month ago, I had several dark pixels on brand new iphone5s, went to shop to have it replaced. Waited 15 days and finally got replacemnt phone, luckly working fine.
I loaded backup of the previous phone to it, and noticed that each time when i downloaded new application, I would receive notification e-mail with following content:>>
Your Apple ID, myid@id..., was just used to download MyScript Calculator - Handwriting calculator from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple

I logged in to support site with my id, and noticed I have no device assosiated/registered under my acount. So yeah tried to add serial number of newly received phone, and error was displayed: "According to our records, this serial number is registered with to another Apple ID"
Grrr.. I just spent waiting for 15 days for replacement phone and now this!!! grrrr
I cannot open support case, as there are no devices assosiated with my account, any ideas how to proceed on this?
P.S.
on Icloud and on iphone "locate my iphone" service is activated and working.

Same problem? then you need the same answer
If you believe the information shown for your product is incorrect, you can submit your proof of purchase online or by fax. Your sales receipt is needed for Apple's 1-year limited warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan validation, so be sure to keep it in a safe place. Apple's 1-year limited warranty is the same whether or not you register.

  • 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.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

    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 -
    Do I need to register my Apple product?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5803
    If you feel you need to do so, however, you should contact Apple for assistance. Use the methods shown on this page -

    thank you

    No, unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it.
    Have you reported it to the police in case somebody hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier.

    To help address performance issues the Identi-e web site is currently down for maintenance.  If you are trying to redeem a product code to obtain your serial number for the Student & Teacher edition of our software you will currently be unable to do so. We would recommend installing the software in trial mode for the moment until the maintenance period is complete.

  • We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design Standart. What's wrong with my key or why won't it validate?

    I bought the CS6 Design Standard student and teacher edition over amazon. I activated the product on my adobe account and got a serial number. But when I install the package and enter the serial number I a message saying "We are unable to validate this serial number for Creative Suit 6 Design Standard. Please contact Customer Support."
    Does anyone know what is up with this? I am sure that the problem isn't anything along the lines of making mistakes when typing in the serial (tried it multiple times, used copy paste to reduce chance of error). It's also not any problem with me lacking an internet connection adobe to validate the serial.

    Serial number questions can't be handled on the forums. You'll need to talk to Customer Support either by phone or web chat.

  • 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!

  • After installation it says unable to validate this serial number for Acrobat Pro XI. Why? What do I do?

    I received my serial number online and went through the installation process. After it was successfully installed I wend to open Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and followed the prompt to enter my serial number and then received this error message "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Please Contact Customer Support."
    I've read several FAQ and troubleshooting discussions but none have touched specifically on this.
    I would have called customer support but did not see a number to call.
    Does anyone know what exactly is wrong or what I can do to resolve the issue?

    Contact Adobe Customer Care - click on the Still need help? button to chat or talk with an agent (phone support is only available Mon-Fri during US daytime).

  • "-unable to validate this serial number-" – Moving CS6 software to new employee

    We just had a member of our team leave for a new job who we had upgraded from CS6 to CC a few months ago. We've been trying to install his "old" copy of CS6 on a new employee's machine using their (new) company Adobe ID but when entering the serial number during installation we get the following message:
    "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact Customer Support."
    Trouble is, when going through CS6 CS there doesn't seem to be any direct contact for CS (no phone, no chat). Is the serial number still tied to his work Adobe ID? If so, how can we deactivate that so as to re-open the license for a fresh install?

    As far as I know (I do not work for Adobe) a serial number is "tied" to the person who activated it... so you are going to need to DE-activate by logging in on the old computer with the old ID
    Then, to use that serial number with a new person, I **think** you will need to do a license transfer (you may be able to just activate with a new ID, but I really don't know)

  • How to register new iPhone in Apple website? So the serial number is permanently linked to my Apple ID?

    When I went to the support registered page, it says its okay not to register anymore. However, I'd like my serial # to be permanently linked to my Apple ID in case it gets stolen.

    You can add your products to your Apple Support Profile here:

    then Apple will have a record of what products you own for support purposes.
