Hi guys,

Long time lurker until I lost my Mac air. I need to report the serial number to apple but seems that I'd lost my invoice and the box, and i didn't bind an apple id to that air. I only have the mac address that was registered on my internet server. Just wondering if there is a way to find the serial number via the original mac address?

Not that I can think of but perhaps others here will prove me wrong.

A MAC address is hard coded unto the network card, and it has no relation to the serial number at all.

Apple should have a record of this if you bought it from them regardless of whether or not you logged into a service with an Apple ID.
