mikeMBP-2:~ mike$ sudo grep -Ri '<Serialnumber>' /Library/Preferences
Password:
mikeMBP-2:~ mike$
However...
mikeMBP-2:~ mike$ grep -Ri '<serialnumber>' ~/Library/Preferences
Binary file /Users/mike/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.345ECB35-9FF6-5E1A-AF76-D94062162ECF.plist matches
Binary file /Users/mike/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPod.plist matches
if I open /Users/mike/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPod.plist in textwrangler..
We see..
Code:<dict> <key>Connected</key> <date>2011-12-07T02:37:57Z</date> <key>Device Class</key> <string>iPhone</string> <key>Family ID</key> <integer>10016</integer> <key>Firmware Version</key> <integer>256</integer> <key>Firmware Version String</key> <string>5.0.1</string> <key>ID</key> <string>21B8890X0E735E1F</string> <key>IMEI</key> <string>0130330003668843</string> <key>Serial Number</key> <string>XXXXXXXXXXXXX</string> <----- <key>Updater Family ID</key> <integer>10016</integer> <key>Use Count</key> <integer>5</integer>
