Identifying Your Macintosh Serial Number

Since Macintosh computers are so popular, they also attract the attention of thieves. As soon as you get a Macintosh computer, write down its serial number so you can identify your Macintosh in case it’s ever stolen and recovered.

To identify the serial number of your Macintosh, do this:

  1. Click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. An About This Mac window appears (see Figure 51-1).

  2. Click the More Info button. An Overview window appears, listing your Macintosh’s serial number, model, operating system version, and other details, as shown in Figure 51-2.

  3. Click the close button of the About This Mac window.

    The Overview window lists your computer’s serial number.
