"Serial Number”(Serial number) is a unique number, which sets your Mac apart from all the others. It is a kind of series of the car chassis.
We need to provide it when we go with it Mac / MacBook in warranty service or report it to Apple in the situation where MacCPC is stolen.

The easiest way we can find out Serial Number is from the system interface OS X / macOS. So on macOS High Sierra as well as on older systems, it is available in the "menu bar" (top bar). Click on the apple (logo Apple) and "About This Mac".

If the Mac has problems and does not open, another option is to take serial number on the original box, where we bought it or it was delivered to us, on the bill or from the back of your Mac. On the MacBook, the Serial Number appears written on the back cover.

If you do not have access to either Mac and you don't even have the original box or other documents, you can find Serial Number on the site Apple, in your account iCloud. The condition is to have used the Mac associated with an account iCloud. 99% chance of doing this.

Access https: //appleId.apple.com, then under "Devices" you can find all the devices on which your account was connected iCloud. Their series also appears in the details. Select "Mac", then in the details you will see the Serial Number.

This latter method is very useful in the situation where one MacBook was stolen. Also from the site Applein iCloud.com we can find out the location where our device is located. We have the option to block it, locate it, delete the data on it or start a sound alert.

We'll detail more in a future article about what to do if an iPhone, iPad, was stolen iPod Touch, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or other device Apple.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
