Finding serial number for a device - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3908245?answerId=18246553022#18246553022 - from box or backup file, not from Apple.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526 - If you registered a device you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

Maybe a way to find serial number after a device is no longer in your possession - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4091922?answerId=19524469022#19524469022 - "The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices."

iPhone: Locating the serial number, IMEI, ICCID, or MEID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1267 - from phone itself, a computer to which it has been backed up, or packaging.

Your serial number is not going to help you except for a police report.

Did you register your device? If so, the serial number would be on your Support Profile:

Hi GB. FYI, another "hidden" way to find the serial number in iTunes from a device that has ever synced with iTunes is to:

1. Launch iTunes
2. Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes(PC).
3. Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial number.

Thanks randers4! I just tried it on my Mac, and YAY! both my iPad and my iPhone serial numbers showed up! How cool!

I'm bookmarking this! 🙂

Thanks!

You too, buddy! 😍
