How to find your serial number in software

You can find your Mac's serial number in Apple System Profiler: Select the Apple Menu > About This Mac, then (depending on the version of OSX you are running) click the System Report button or the More Info button. This brings up System Profiler, and on the Hardware Overview that is displayed by default you should see your serial number, and be able to copy/paste it. The procedure does vary slightly between different versions of OSX.
If you can't boot your Mac

If your Mac is not working, the serial number is printed on the computer casing but the location varies. Here are the main locations of serial numbers on Apple computers.
- Unibody MacBook Pro - Laser etched onto the base.
- MacBook, Early MacBook Pro, PowerBook G4 - Inside the main battery bay. Remove battery to locate.
- iBook (White) - Under the keyboard. To lift keyboard, pull back on the release tabs between the F-keys.
- Intel iMac, iMac G5 - Underside of the foot/stand.
- iMac G4, iMac G3 - Underside of the iMac.
- Mac mini - On the underside of the Mac mini.
- Mac Pro 2006-2012 - On rear of machine near graphics card ports.
- PowerMac G5 - On lower chassis under side panel. To remove side panel, lift lever on rear of Mac.
- PowerMac G3, PowerMac G4 - Label on the back of the Mac.
