Serial number for un registered ipad

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help, I lost my brand new ipad and I am absolutely devastated.
There is a chance that it may have been handed in to lost property where i last had it but they need the serial number to identify it as they get so many, but I have never plugged it in to a computer, loaded itunes music onto it or registered it. I have also thrown away the box and it was bought from amazon and in their records there are no details of serial no. However there is the find my iphone app on it and I have bought an app from the apple store on it, but it does not come up in devices on itunes or apple support or icloud.
I would be so grateful if anyone could let me know of any other way of retrieving the serial number and would if you could possibly explain in quite simple terms, I am not great with technology.
Thanks in advance

You said it was bought from Amazon. Why don't you try writing to Amazon and see if they can give you the number. If they put it on your receipt, you can get your Amason receipt online, by signing into your Amazon account.

  • How do I find the serial number for a lost ipad?

    My ipad's been stolen, and I need to find the sertial nunber to give to the Police. Unfortunately, I did not keep the original packaging, so cannot refer to that for the serial number. I have an itunes account....am I able to locate my serial number through itunes, and if so, could anyone talk me through how I go about doing that. Many thanks.

    Yes:
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPad and select Preferences… from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPad's serial number will appear in a popup window.

  • How do I find serial number for my lost iPad?

    I've just lost my iPad and I just realized that it wasn't registered on Apple support along with my other 3 Apple products, partly because it was bought many years ago and I totally forgot about registering it.
    The box is long gone too. However, I've recently synced it with iTunes on my iMac. Is there a way I can trace the serial number from there? Appreciate if someone can help point to the right direction.
    Thank you so much!

    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • "lost" my iPad.  Will the GPS still work after battery dies?  Also, how can I get the serial number for police report?

    Please help!  I "lost" my iPad at a local store.  The GPS on my phone shows the iPad is still in the store (over 24 hours.)  I've searched every square inch of the store and cannot find it.  I fear it may have been "stashed" by an employee.  The police need a serial number for a report.  How do I get that?  Will I still be able to locate it via GPS after the battery dies?

    Did you register it with Apple? If not, you would have had to write it down. Once the device goes out of wifi or if the thief turns wifi off...its gone. All they have to do is restore it as new, you wont be able to detect it again. Sounds bleak I know but its hard to get it back once its gone...no matter what Apple says.
    I really hope it turns up...I hate thiefs. Best of luck.

  • TS4006 hi where can i find my serial number for my ipad mine was stolen

    hi where can i fine my serial number for my ipad mine was stolen

    It would be on your box.  If you registered it with Apple, you could also sign into your support profile and see it there (https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do).  Finally, if you ever backed it up using iTunes you can go to iTunes preferences>Devices and hover you mouse over the backup to reveal the serial number.

    Hi  - I recently purchased a new iMac. I have a registered cs5 design premium package which is an upgrade - I have no disc for cs4 but have the qualifying serial number for it. I have installed cs5 via download onto my iMac but it is not accepting the serial number. Can anybody help.

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

  • I have a license for Photoshop CS6 which was installed on a PC that is now beyond repair. How can I install the software on my iMac? I still have the serial number that is registered to my Adobe Id?

    Serial numnbers are platform specific so you will not be able to use it for the Mac if it was initially designated for a PC.  YOu will need to perform a platform swap.  See the following for information:
    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

  • Hello I have lost my serial number for adobe photoshop elements. Bought from John Lewis last month. I did have it installed but had to uninstall but cannot find the any of the packaging etc plus did not register. What is the best way of getting it install

    Hello I have lost my serial number for adobe photoshop elements 13. Bought from John Lewis last month. I did have it installed but had to uninstall but cannot find the any of the packaging etc plus did not register. What is the best way of getting it installed again/replacement? Thanks

    Do you have the receipt? If you have proof of ownership, you _may_ be able to persuade Customer Support to help you out.  I imagine you would need to scan and email that proof if it works at all.

    No. If they reformat, you can no longer track it.
