Find Your Mac's Serial Number, The Easy Way
Want to check your Mac's serial number without turning the laptop upside down or contorting yourself to see behind an iMac screen or... well, you get the idea (also, no squinting at tiny numbers).
Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, and click under the Mac OS X title, directly on the Version 10.x.x note that says what OS version you're using. You'll get a "Build number," which is more specific info about the software. Click again, and you'll get your Mac's serial number.

We've been adding new references to articles that we wrote some time ago, but a new issue has just arisen. Some of our articles are relatively ambiguous because they are based more on rumor and conjecture than on fact. To fill in some of the facts, we will be including small Update articles every now and then. You can copy these updates into the original articles or leave them here-whatever is easier for you.
