Stolen MacBook Pro...Need Serial Number Help

My daughter's older MacBook Pro was stolen over Spring Break.  It was purchased used and unfortunately we did not write down the serial number.  The police are asking for it.  It has previously been logged into our families iTunes account.  Is there any way I can get the serial number for a computer that has been logged into our account?  Please help.  Thank you

If you registered the device on your Apple Support Profile, then the serial number is there:
Apple - Support - My Support Profile
The fact that your iTunes account was logged onto the computer does not help you. There is no record kept of computer serial numbers for computers that you may have logged your iTunes account on.
Sorry,

    My Macbook pro has been stolen and then found by the police. I cannot have it back until I can prove that it is mine. I do not know my serial number and cannot find any of the sales reciepts or paper work.
    How can I recover this information?
    Any help appreciated,

    If you registered your comp, Apple should still have a record. 
    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.
    GOOD LUCK!

    Or if you have a backup on the iPad on your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061 - go into Edit > Preferences and on the Devices tab hover your mouse pointer over the iPad's backup

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Macbook Pro Battery Serial Number

    Recently I have given my Macbook pro to local apple service center as it suddenly turned off & never got started, I was informed by service center that it has some problem in its logic board so I need to replace it. but my Macbook is out of warranty period.. so they have quoted me Rs:39,000 for replacing the logic board.. that is simply out of question why would i spend 39,000 on the logic board, if I can buy Ipad even with the lesser price and it seems much more easy to use for me. so I've got my macbook back without rectifying it.
    However last night I observed that its battery has come out from one side and was not flush with the rest of the casing. So i popped it open using the latch and tried to see if i could close it properly.
    It seems like the battery has sort of expanded on one side, to the point where it's pushing up against the access panel and not letting it close completely.
    I never gave my machine to service center like that, battery was exact fine, I am quite sure that battery is not of my macbook, it has been replaced with crashed battery while it was in the service center (as my macbook was in the service center for more then one month).
    So i am looking for the way to find out if this battery is for my macbook or not. the problem is I don't even have its box or receipt which could include its configuration details and since my macbook has logic board problem so I am not even able to switch it on to check..
    If some one can please tell me that serial number which is given on the Macbook Battery is the same as actual Macbook serial number which i can see in Battery bay; I can see both serial no's differs.
    i am not sure if batteries have its different serial numbers from the machine serial numbers? if some can tell me this so that I can go back to service center with the concern or if battery serial no is suppose to be different then please suggest me how can i go about notifying same to service center, I mean if they would deny and won't accept; either battery has been changed or damage to the battery has been caused by them; then i would have no proof to prove this.
    Please suggest??

    Your battery's serial number was never the same as your MBP's serial number, and there is no way for you to tell whether another battery was substituted for yours in the shop unless you have a record of the original battery's number. Your MBP's original purchase receipt and packaging would not have included the serial numbers of components and subassemblies like the battery — only the whole computer's serial number.
    Batteries sometimes swell abruptly as they approach the ends of their useful lives, and it's entirely possible that your battery did so while it was in the shop for a month. Now you will need a new battery as well as a new logic board if you want to continue using the computer. But because you aren't willing to pay the cost of a logic board replacement, the battery doesn't matter.
    If an iPad would meet your needs, buy it.

  • My Macbook Pro's serial number is wrong

    I have a Macbook Pro 17" late 2011 but my serial number is for a Macbook Pro 15" early 2011. How do I fix this? I want to buy apple care before my year is up but I don't want it for the wrong model.

    re: photoshop cs6 teacher edition
    before installing this software, purchaser must obtain a serial number by submitting proof of eligibility to Adobe. Product cannot be used without such proof. My  copy was purchased from a store. I was told not to open the box to install until I receive the serial number.
    Question: Anyone know where I can  find info to start the process?

  • Stolen macbook pro, offline, no serial #, not registered...help!

    I have a dire looking situation with a stolen macbook pro. It was stolen from me in an airport and its offline, no luck with icloud. I did not keep the box, nor the receipt (as i was traveling), I had not even registered it yet, it was brand new, and now I have no idea where to find the serial number.  I contacted Best Buy (bought off their website) to see if they keep serial numbers on sales, they said they didn´t, as I didnt have thier protection plan.
    Am I completely out of luck??

    andreaceleste,
    did you pay for it with a credit card? If so, that might be your only remaining proof of having purchased one at all. Of course, that won’t reveal what its serial number is. You’ll need to report its theft to whichever police force is in charge of that airport to have any chance of reïmbursement through your insurance company — be sure to keep all information provided to you by that police force, so that you can provide that information to your insurance company.

    you can't add or mofidy partition numbers. especially not if and once you have windows installed.
    boot from Windows 7 DVD afterwards
    but first you have to tell us and Christopher what and how you partitioned your system.
    Successful setup of OS X Lion + Data Partition + Bootcamp Win7 Ult
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3293948
    So after many, many hours I think I've finally figured out how to successfully setup Mac OS X Lion on one partition, a seperate data partition, and Windows 7 Ultimate on a Bootcamp partition . Here is a screenshot of my setup on my 13" MacBook Pro
    Thread with suggestions on Windows backup methods:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3798090
    Paragon CampTune
    Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.
    Securing Dual-System Configuration
    Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
    Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
    GParted Live
    GParted Live is similar to CampTune as it is also distributed as a bootable image that needs to be copied to a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. As free and open source software, distributed under the GPL, it will always be available free. Since it has more functions than CampTune, it may be harder for folks who are not as experienced with partitioning hard drives. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
    iPartition
    Coriolis Systems' iPartition is a £29.95 ($44.95 US) utility that runs in Mac OS X and allows resizing of all of the relevant partition formats, including HFS+, FAT32, and NTFS. It provides a Mac-oriented user interface that may be easier to manage than some of the free utilities. As it is not capable of resizing the boot disk, it requires a bootable external disk or a boot DVD. (A tool to create a boot DVD is included.)
    Paragon Partition Manager
    From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
    Winclone/Disk Utility
    Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
    NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
    Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
    Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
    The full process would be:
    Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
    (if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
    Delete old Windows partition
    Resize current Mac Partition
    Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
    (If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
    Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
    Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
    An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section
    Native OS utilities
    MR user Kazyua reports that you can use the disk management utilities provided with the current operating systems if you want to do it manually. Windows 7 and OS X both have partition resizing functions built in. In OS X, open Disk Utility and manually shrink the mac HFS+ partition by dragging the lower right corner. Then in windows go to the start menu and type "disk management" into the search box then hit enter. You should get an overview of the drives you have and the individual partitions. Right-clicking on the partition gives an "Extend Volume" option. The Windows NTFS volume should then be extended into the free space you created with Disk Utility. This method has not worked for other users, so try at your own risk.

  • Stolen MacBook Pro 15'

    My MacBook Pro was stolen out of my car in Nairobi. I am trying to list the stolen serial as many places as possible in hopes of recovery through a tip or through an honest person that might buy it. If it isn't wiped I would even be willing to buy it back.
    Anyone have any suggestions of sites/forums etc. where I can list the stolen serial?

    I got 2 points to prove you're wrong:
    1) What if that husband goes and kills the wife after she left him, but he previosly set iCloud app? Would you consider Apple responsible for that? OBVIOUSLY NOT. So your point is totally wicked.
    2) Since my Macbook was stolen before iCloud was out, i think it would be VERY nice from them to help me find MY macbook since i payed for it.
    Your statement is completely wrong, and has nothing to do with the discussion anyways.
    Think about what you want. If implemented anyone could contact Apple and ask for the location of an Apple computer. I don't want Apple giving out any location information about my computer. What if someone sold you a computer then contacted Apple saying the computer was stolen in order to locate it (and you). You would be OK with Apple giving out your location to someone who could have criminal intent?
    Apple is in the computer business. The police are in the crime business. Contact the police then go buy yourself a replacement computer.
