#Ipad serial number lookup serial numbers
Thank you.Ī potential weakness of using Serial Numbers for identification is that some repairs theoretically could alter or remove the Serial Number in software or hardware and/or provide conflicting Serial Number information. Should you encounter a potential error or an omission in 's Ultimate iLookup, please report it. However, Serial Numbers are commonly not unique for Macs, and it is possible that multiple iPods, iPhones or iPads share Serial Numbers, as well. Serial Numbers generally are unique and refer to a specific configuration of a specific iPod, iPhone or iPad, and as a result, they are excellent to use for identification.

The Serial Number is listed clearly on the "Summary" tab:įor the iPod touch line as well as all iPhone and iPad devices - all models that run the iOS - Serial Numbers also can be found within the operating system by selecting Settings > General > About:įor other iPod models with displays, the Serial Number theoretically can be retrieved by selecting Settings > About and subsequently clicking and holding the center button, but in practice, this doesn't always seem to work. IPod, iPhone and iPad Serial Numbers can be located within iTunes, within the operating system software on the device itself and on the back of the device in tiny print as well as on packaging and receipts, which makes the identifier quite versatile for identification and differentiation.
