Why is my iphone 4s 64GB serial number on the box different then the serial number on the phone?

I just purchased a new Iphone 4s 64GB. I brought it to my carrier to have it activated. when I came home to register it with Apple, I noticed that the serial number on the box is different then the serial number on my Iphone. Why?

When you bought the iPhone, was the box sealed?  Srink wrapped?  If not then the iPhone may have been changed.
Have you tried to register the iPhone with Apple and does it come up clean, that is, not previously registered?

    I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens.  I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

    Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my  Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

  • Why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

    why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

  • HT4061 My i phone 5 white 32 gb was stolen of me by threat if gun and I have the box and it is serial number and I eni .. I caould not activate the find my iPhone application twice what can I do to know it is place and delete all info on it

    My white 32 gb I phone was stolen of me under threat of weapons and I could not activate find my iPhone application on it twice before it was stolen
    I still have the box of it and it is serial number and owning number
    What can I do to get it back or delete all data and block of use ????

    Wow, I'm very sorry to hear that you faced this traumatic experience. Unfortunately the Find My iPhone app has to be turned on and activated before the device is stolen.
    You should change any and all passwords that you use on your iPhone immediately.
    Did you have a passcode lock on your iPhone that required a 4 digit number before the phone could be unlocked? That might prevent some of your data from being stolen or used.
    I presume that you contacted the police.

  • Serial number on CD box does not match serial number on actual program

    I recently bought LR3 on disk and have installed it. I also installed the upgrade to 3.6, however, I was never prompted to register the product's serial number. Furthermore, when I chcked the product's serial number on the program itself, I found the number on the program is different from the one on the CD box I have. I previously had a different LR3 installed (my friend's) and I thought I uninstalled it on my iMac (OS Lion) before installing my purchased copy of LR3. I even deleted the data files that are hidden. But the serial numbers are still different.
    Is this how it should be? Any help would be great, thanks!

    I previously had a different LR3 installed (my friend's) and I thought I uninstalled it
    Sure, but you didn't deactivate, which is a separate thing. Help --> Deactivate or About Lightroom --> Deactivate is probably your friend - wherever those features may be in the Mac version...

  • Why did my iphone 4 just go to the apple logo then go straight back to the home screen?

    I was just listening to music on my iPhone when all of a suden my music cut off. I looked right at my phone to see that it went to the apple logo then a few seconds later it went right back to my home screen. The only thing I had open on my phone was my music and a text message I left open for a moment. Is there a reason why my phone shut off? Is somethign wrong? Or am I jsut worrying for nothing?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 only connect to wifi when it's with in 5 feet of the server

    I Up graded to an i phone 5 s.  From a 4 and the 5 will only connect to the wifi at home when I am with in a few feet of the server my 4 worked all over the house and even in the back yard.  But now I can't even be in the hallway and keep connection.  Other. I phone 4s have a good connection throughout the house  and other iPhone. 5. Are the same as mine  it seems a s though there may be a poor quality  antenna on e new iPhone 5 s models and a lesser quality of a product  this seems to be a trend with iPhone  and it is very disappointing. Is there anything that can be done and also could you start building your newer products with better performance parts.  (If it's not broke don't fix it). I want my iPhone 4 back lol.    I have done a hard reset to resolve my issue and I have checked my wifI signal side by side with other phones and I pad.  Please let  me know if anything can be done thanks you

    if this is the case with all wifi routers then I would say that the wifi antenna of the iphone5 is broken or not connected

  • Why does my iPhone 6 not show up in my computer when it's plugged in with the USB cable?

    Hello
    I have an Iphone 6 for about one week now. I would like to view my photos and movies on my laptop (windows 7). But I can't view them because it doesn't show up as a portable device in my computer. When I plug it in I do hear the sound as if any USB would make.
    Does anyone know what's going on? Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks a lot!

    I had the same problem on my Iphone 5. It drove me crazy. I tried reinstalling ITunes and my apple mobile device driver, but nothing solved the problem. I was able to detect my iphone in windows if I went to control panel, then programs and features, found apple mobile device, right click, then click repair. This would allow windows explorer to detect my iphone, but I had to do this every time and it also drove me crazy, After trying everything I could think of, I decided to try and uninstall a program called expresso media. I am not sure where it even came from, but walla, once I uninstalled it my iphone shows up in explorer and iTunes just like it should. Simple but frustrating. Good luck,

  • Why does my iphone and ipad keep saying apple ID disabled but i can log in to the itunes store on my laptop?

    i can't download or update free apps on my ipad or iphone. i can log in to my i-store account on my laptop and download stuff.  when i try on the iphone or ipad i keep getting apple ID disabled message. i had to enter in my account and new password to get to this community site so the password is working. but when i enter the updated password on the iphone or ipad i keep getting...apple ID disabled.  thanks

    When you try to update the app, is the Apple ID that comes up the same as the Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store?
    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? e.g. log in on another device, reset password etc.
