Restoring old serial number

My friend helped me to restore my ipod touch 3rd gen and the serial number got changed to a different one. It no longer matches the number on the box it came with. Is there a way to get back the old serial number? He was doing the restore on my computer and messing around with some files (which he said), so I don't have the backup at all.

@ Stress Test: I never had it serviced, why?
Because when you serviced the iPod, Apple would exchange the whole iPod. Means: you get a new device with a new serial number, but keep your old serial number on the box, the invoice etc.
Bought it as a new device directly from Apple, or was it a used one?

  • How do I retrieve an old serial number to upgrade Lightroom?

  • Replaced system board? How to restore system serial number with a CD.

    I have an l412 with a defective system board- would not POST. So I replaced the system board (it's a year out of warranty) and booted up, only to be met with an error code about a sytem serial number mismatch. Boots OK, but system update does not work (because of the serial number mismatch).
    The instructions for WHAT to do about this are in the online service manual http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/60y3635_02.pdf
    When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.
    If you replace the system board, you must restore the serial number of the system unit to its original value.
     You need the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette to do this. This floppy disk is only available to certified Lenovo service centers. Or those who know how to use google. Versions 1.75, 1.76 and 1.83 are the ones I have used. If you can't find them, you probably should not be trying this anyway.
    You read that correctly- DISKETTE. As in floppy disk. How many laptops have one of these? Now you see the problem.
    The real trick is HOW to do this- without a USB floppy drive. If you have one of these, stop, you don't need to know this.
    For the rest of us.... 
    First, find a computer with a floppy drive. Any computer.
    Extract/install the HMD archive onto it. Follow the instructions in the file to make an HMD floppy disk.
    Use this program http://www.boodaa.de/index.php/download-mainmenu-31/bootdisk2bootstick-mainmenu-44 to make an image of the floppy. Be sure to save it as a .img type, not .bin
    Use this program http://paulski.com/zpages.php?id=1814 to create a bootable CD image using the floppy .img file you just made.
    Burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it. 
    At least on my L412, it works!

    you can only download the trial version unless you purchased from adobe and there's a link under your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

    trying to install cs5.5 onto new pc, have old serial number... but can not find how I even start process. Yes, it is installed on a MAC, where I still want access.

    You cannot install your Mac license on a PC. Serial numbers are platform specific. There's no way around that.

  • TS2565 when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
    If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
    Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

  • The upgrade version will not accept my 'old' serial number

    The upgrade version will not accept my 'old' serial number? 

    I have a CS3 DesignPremium.
    I have asked Adope if it was possible to update from this to CS5.5 Design Premium. The answer was, that it was ok for a price round 100 €.
    I bought it and under installation it wanted first the new serial number and next the 'old number' (because the old CS was not installed).
    The new one is not installed any where els.
    Im am working on a MacBook Pro.
    The number not accepted is the old CS3 number.

  • Aperture system ID - recovering the old serial number

    hi
    apologies if this was asked again but several searches later im still confused.com
    i recently had my old MBP stolen - however before this happened, i backed the whole drive to an external disk
    i cant find my aperture installation cd, so i downloaded a Trial Version of Aperture and used a trial serial number
    i then decided to use what some people here suggested and copy my OLD aperture system ID file to my new library/application support/proapps folder (and delete the trial version of the file with the trial serial number)
    however, aperture wont recognise my old serial number
    any thoughts on what i should do
    is there a way to read the old serial number from the aperture system id file? its all messy
    thnx

    Hi Adam,
    I've searched my Mac for "ProAppsSystemID" and the search returns no items. Would you know how to locate it? Also, where is "/temp"?
    Every time we fire it up, it asks for the latest serial number... and then for the previous "upgrade" serial numbers

  • What happens when you don't have an old serial number (from 10 years ago)?

    I bought PageMaker 6.5 in when I was teaching, and I have been retired over ten years. I upgraded to InDesign 3 in 2007. Two weeks ago my hard drive crashed. In installing InDesign 3 again, I'm asked for old PM6.5 serial number, which I can't find. I've used PageMaker since it was put out by Aldus in the 80s, and I have the first serial number from that set of floppies, from which I upgraded to all others, but I'm told no serial # from PM 6.5, I have to buy it all again!!!!! Is there any reason in this?

    It looks like you have got an upgrade version of the new product.  this means that you must have an old product that you used to obtain a discount on Adobe product.  Therefore, the Installation process needs to verify this and the only way to do this is to have your old serial number.  I wish I had your valid e-mail address to advise you further.
    Good luck.

  • Upgrade from PageMaker to InDesign. What version is best and will old serial number work?

    I'd like to upgrade from PageMaker 6.5 to InDesign. Should I wait for InDesign C S5. Will InDesign C S5 support PageMaker? Or should I upgrade to InDesign C S4? And if I have an old serial number for PageMaker 6.5, how can I complete the upgrade? I understand the older PageMaker serial numbers are no longer recognized.

    I understand that Adobe is already selling InDesign CS5 and therefore you would have no choice if you want to upgrade. I would think that the easiest way of finding if your PM serial number applies for an upgrade is to try buying an upgrade. You don't need to complete the purchase if you don't want to.

  • Find old serial number?

    I have an app (Tap Fish 2) that says in order to restore the game I had on iPhone 4, I need the serial number to restore my game to my new iPhone 4S. Is there any way or anywhere this serial number is stored beyond the actual phone? I don't have access to the old phone, so I can't just look it up.
    Thank you!

    Do you need the serial number or the UDID number? See this to retreive the UDID:

  • I am trying to re-install Adobe InDesign CS2 and having problems. It won't accept my old serial number, and while in the instructions it says it will give a new serial number I can't find that.

    I know CS2 is old, but that is all I have.

    Directions to find it are on the page with the installation instructions.
    Locate the language and application you want to install and note its serial number (located to the right of the download links). The serial number is required during installation. 
    Note:The serial numbers included with your original CS2 applications do not work with these CS2 application versions.
