Registering a itouch/apple product twice

Hello,
I recently lost my itouch and i have the findmyiphone app installed and the itouch is locked with a lock screen. From reading on here I found out that you can still get past the lock screen by restoring the itouch. After you restore the itouch do you have to reregister the product? Can the person who has the itouch register it a second time and if they do will the findmyiphone app still work after a restore? Just basically wondering if the itouch will be of any use for the person or is it more likely that they will get rid of it at a pawn shop or contact law enforcement and report it stolen. Thanks.

I do believe that he/she will be able to use thier apple id with the device restored. However, if a problem were to occur on the touch, they will not be able to receive apple's product warranty since it has been registered in your name. The serial number along with the registered user's name I believe stays on record permanantly.

HT5622 how do i register a new apple product

i got a new ipod and i am out of the country and need to register it to the united states.

The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.

Re-registering a used Apple product

Why can't Apple simply "link" the serial number of an already registered Apple product instead of blocking it from being re-registered? Allow the re-registering of a used product and link only the serial number without divulging any identifying information or data. That way people purchasing used Apple products can keep track of their products under their Apple ID Account. It does not make sense to disallow re-registering of re-purchased products. I would like to be able to keep track of all my Apple purchases in one place even if they are not covered by warranty. It seems like a huge waste to only be able to use your Apple ID Account if you are under warranty. What about newly purchased applications and music? Why is it such a big deal? Seems like it would enable Apple to keep track of equipment better. I realize this is not their primary goal but if they want to be customer service oriented, it seems like the thing to do. There are millions of used Apple purchasers that could use the service.

But it is really simple. Someone who sells an Apple Product has to give up the ownership by unregistering it. The registered owner can always unregister any mac or mobile device. Do not buy a product, that is still registered to the previous owner. When you buy a product, make sure, that the previous owner has reverted the product to the original state it has been sold:

Registering a second Apple Product

I want to register my daughters Ipod but as she is underage I tried to get an Apple ID using my email which was declined. How does one solve this?

Do you already have an ID for yourself with the same email? Try using your daughter's email address, you can go ahead and put in your information for the rest (just so it will be approved, and since you will be supervising the account).

Why can't I register Adobe or Apple software?

I just recently got a MacBook Pro; I've registered it on Apple, but I cannot register any of my software, either from Apple or Adobe.
Adobe programs say: "Adobe could not register your product at this time."
GarageBand takes me to:

Is there another way to register Apple software? Do I literally just need to wait a while and try again with Adobe? I feel it's a little too coincidental that neither will register for me...
I was told to register all my software so I could regain it if something ever happened to my computer.

If you registered your MBP, your pre-installed Apple software is automatically registered too unless the software specifically request it. If this is the case, which software is asking you to register?
You can register Apple products by phone. Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275. Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations. Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
Adobe is 3rd party. You should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product you are having problems w/registering.

I am trying to register my macbook pro and every time i got a message telling me that this product is registered with different apple id, how it comes?

Sounds like you got a used computer and paid new for it, that's illegal.
"Open box" is a return by a previosu customer and can't be sold as new, you should have gotten a discount or informed of such.
Once obvious sign is it doesn't come with free iLife on it, as the drive was erased.

I have two apple products registered to the same apple id. I would like to use FaceTime on my iPad while out of town. I need to do FaceTime to my iMac at home (both iPad and imac are reg. to same id). It won't let me do it, help?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Registering Apple Products

Hi,
I wondering if anyone can help me.
I want to add a few of my apple products to my new iCloud email address. But when i try it through the Register Apple Product link at the bottom of the support page, I fill in all the details and it says "A confirmation email will be sent to the email address" but nothing comes through and my products and still not registered.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks,

Well, I guess there are different opinions on this,...
Oh, without doubt. All opinions valid and correct. 'tis a personal thang.
...but I personally have seen "catch all" problem posts to be very difficult for helpers to tease apart.
Yes, it is a personal preference. Me, I would rather a user who is in doubt, post as articulately as he/she can, all the issues and lay them out in different paragraphs or numbered lists; as opposed to one enormous paragraph without any full stops, comas and weird stuff like that.
I do understand what you're saying about issues possibly being interrelated, but... throwing every question and every problem you have with your computer into one thread seems counterproductive to me, in general.
I recall, in another life (not this one), a poster did just that. Laid out the issues in an aesthetically pleasing manner that was easy to read and digest. Some issues were interrelated, others not. I split the issues and offered suggestions. On the issues that I was convinced were not related, I advised that they should start a new topic. All turned out well.
I very much get where your coming from also Rachel. As stated, 'tis nothing more than a personal thang.
Actually Human should be comfortable posting his questions in whatever way seems effective to him and it should be fine. People will help.
And that sums it up nicely. A user who has an issue(s) should feel comfortable in expressing that issue without fear of being "trodden upon" by those ummm... overzealous?... voluntary helpers who have lost the plot and instead on focusing on the poor soul's technical problem, focus on everything else but the technical problem.

If I buy used products, do I register them with Apple?

If I buy a previously-owned Apple product, and am not therefore the original owner, can I still register it with Apple? SHOULD I?

Yes and yes.
