When i set up my iPad 2, apple asked for my phone number. What did they do with it?
Just curious. It said something about sms but when i open messages, i can still onlhy send imessages.
This phone number is used to verify your identity when using your iCloud Security Code e.g. when setting up Keychain.

Try resetting the device (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears).

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I recently subscribed to Acrobat XI after the trial expired but when I went to activate it I was asked for the serial number. I only have the order number on the invoice. How do I get the serial number for the trial software that is on my computer?
Please do not try to send attachments in mail responses to forum messages. Please return to the forum and click Reply. You can then use the CAMERA icon to add your pictures. Looking forward to seeing what is wrong with your license screens - the general advice is simply to sign in, and everything is done. Make sure you use the SAME Adobe ID that you used to purchase, and check your account details to be sure the subscription is active.

I have bought the whole CC and it says my trial has expired. But when i go to license the software, it asks for a serial number and i dont have one. Please help.
Sign out from Creative Cloud and sign in again using email ID using which you had purcahsed subscription:
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
Then launch CC apps which is asking for serial number and check.
Still asks for serial number check the hosts file for Adobe entries , if present remove it and try to activate.
1) Right click on the Finder icon on dock and select "Go-To Folder" option.
2) You will get a text box, type-in below mentioned command and then hit 'Return' key.
/etc
3) It will open the etc folder, please look for file named "hosts" and copy the same to Desktop screen.it
4)Double click on Hosts file , it will open it with TextEdit, If present Delete Adobe entries present inside Hosts file like 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com.......etc
5)Copy and paste the Hosts file back to "Etc" folder.
When asked Authenticate with your Mac password.
Make sure to select "Replace" option when prompted.
Then launch CC apps which is asking for serial number and check. -
I purchased a Logic Pro 9.1.6. from App Store and when I try to open it, it's asking for a serial number. That shouldn't happen, they told me on Applecare Professional Application Support. Once I had a "trial version" of Logic Pro 9.0.0. Does this matter?
ufo62 wrote:
Yep, there's versions and "versions". But I'm a poor, stupid guy and now I had my first chance to get The REAL Logic Pro. So please, if somebody could help me with that I would be grateful.
You would need to delete all of the Logic Audio related preference files, reciepts...etc, located in these folders.
~/Library/Preferences
Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Receipts
And possibly
~/Library/Applicationsupport/ProApps
I guess it's possibly safe to assume that all of the people posting on this board asking why the App Store version is requesting a serial have been using pirated software. -

When I turn on the ipad a box asking for a passcode comes up but it is for entering
When I now turn on my ipad a box comes up asking for Passcode but it is showing #'s with small letters below like a telephone. I think I accidentlty pushed a button in Settings that made this happen. Trying soooo hard to learn the ipad and haven't been to the Apple store because of a bad back. Help me please!
That means that a Passcode was set for the iPad. You need the Passcode in order to unlock the device now. Even if you didn't set it or don't remember setting it, there is no way to retrieve it now. The only way to unlock the iPad is by restoring the device.
You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your iTunes content. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You may need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

If you are new to the iPad, this might come in handy.

My ipod touch is showing a disabled connect to itunes message. I've tried to get some support on itunes, however, I can not turn the ipod on to get the serial number.
Apple shuld not be required.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

I cannot use Acrobat Pro XI as I do not have previous Reader serial number. It is asked for to validate the product.
Bella1234 do you have a subscription to Acrobat or a serial number for Acrobat? Regardless once you enter the serial number or your Adobe ID it will be necessary to activate the software. I would recommend reviewing the steps listed in Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html. If your computer has been configured to block access to our activation server then it could cause a prompt for a serial number.

I am being asked for a serial number when I install CS5
When I installed Creative Suite 5 Master it asked for a serial number, which I provided. Now it is asking me for a serial number upgrade? This is the master collection being installed for the first time, why is it telling me it can't find qualifying software to upgrade?
Branching to a separate discussion.
Jymjeo123 you will want to enter your previous qualifying version serial number. You can locate the serial numbers under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. For additional details please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
