Magic Keyboard Serial Number Not Valid

[Oday Forster]

Ibought my apple MAGIC MOUSE 2 yesterday and on the back of the box I can see the 17 digit serial number. As soon as I redirected to Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support , it is showing please enter the valid serial number.

The serial number search provided by Apple Support, as far as I am aware, provides no results for peripherals. It does provide results for those items such as an iOS device or a Mac with which you would sign into iCloud. The act of setting up the device and signing into iCloud has the same effect as registering a product, which some manufacturers still offer but which Apple cased quite a while ago.

I recently bought an iMac with three peripherals: a Magic Mouse, a Magic Keyboard, and a Magic Trackpad. To answer your question I located the serial number of each of devices and entered in the Apple Support serial number search box. For each search I was informed that the serial number was not recognised. The iMac was recognised. This is what I expected, because there wasn't a way for the serial numbers of perhiperals to be lodged with Apple as part of my setting up the iMac when I received it (and it was bought directly from Apple on the Apple Online Store).

Keep your sales receipt if you need to return the Magic Mouse for repair or replacement under warranty in the next year. The serial number of the Magic Mouse will also be on the underside of the device.

With regards to your concerns about the mouse being a genuine Apple item, you could have a look at it in your Mac's System Information. Use the About This Mac option (under the little Apple logo in the left of the tool bar), then More Info > System Report.

Hello I bought a Apple magic keyboard and Magic trackpad from a retail store. However, when I enter the product serial number in Apple database, it do not found the product. Both Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad is working absolutely fine. But wanted to be sure that why this is not found in Apple database.

It's because they aren't an activated product. For non-activated products like keyboards, mice, cases, cables, etc. they aren't tracked from factory to point of sale even if they do have serial numbers.

For example, Magic Mouse 2 shipments come in boxes with multiple units per box just like iPads, but a major difference is the iPad box has an additional label on it listing all the serials contained within the shipment. So at each checkpoint, not only is the box scanned in, but each serial as well.

The comma is reserved for x, y, z delimination, so, no. One gets used to it but I suppose an argument can be made that in more cases does one insert a single number rather than all 3 coordinates and as such, an option to set the delimiters to , and ; sounds valid to me. But it probably opens a can of worms.

That being said, I do not disagree with your wish and it has come up many times in the past. Since one probably inputs a single number (with decimals) a bit more frequently than 2 or 3 coordinates in a row, an option to set the decimal IMO is a valid wish. Whaddyathink, @pascal, one for the heap?

I believe I have found a solution to the issue of using the period (.) key on the numeric keypad. This is a workaround, but it is perfectly effective! It allows you to use the period key on the keypad not only in Rhino, but also in all other programs that have the same problem, such as AutoCAD.

Yes it sucked, ever since my autocad days. I personally would prefer as a solution that if you double-tap the numpad-coma it outputs a point or vice versa. That way you wouldnt have to leave the numpad when entering non-integer coordinates. Dont know if its technically possible tho.

According to When is a number a magic number?, I know magic number should not exists, so I know the following code about creating a Label from some UI framework and set the color RGB needs to be improved:

It is well known that the first one is red component, second one is green component, third one is blue component. Separating them looks odd and unnatural for me, resulting taking more time to study the code.

According to "Comments are a code smell", comments should explain "why" instead of "How". But how can RGB be further explained in "Why"? Just write "//Designer suggest that"? Write "//It needs to show the color red" (isn't specify current result is red bad as const int FOUR=3?)? Or explain what is RGB in details?

In my experience, RGB among UI components are almost surely independent to each other, so it is almost surely no 2 UI would share the same "R" (or G,B), even if it is the same currently, it is not likely I would meet the case that "every UI changes the red component from 32 to 128" like it:

In my experience, it is very unlikely a sane, real-world UI framework will only offer a function like setRGBColor with three integer values exclusively, there is typically an overload or variant which can take a color tuple as input. If not, I would probably encapsulate such calls inside some helper function with a descriptive name:

Of course, for ergonomically designed UIs, using a single color in only one place is quite rare - normally, you will find the same color reused for several UI elements or a specific set of elements for a certain context.

Now, when a designer tells you "all of our warning texts need a color with higher contrast, here are the new RGB values", there should ideally be one-and-only place in the code where this has to be fixed.

Your change gives you zero improvement. Anyone working with RGB colors knows what the numbers mean. Something small means the color component is almost absent, 255 means the color component is as strong as possible. So defining these as constants just before using them is pointless.

Myself I'd prefer a macro and a function that let you set some color object, and not set a color by using three RGB components, so you can use CMY colors, YUV colors, RGBA colors, grayscale colors and so on.

Anyway, you have one #define that is then used by all labels that should have the same color, so you can decide later to change the color of all labels and it is a one line code change. If you have 50 labels in your code with the same color, it requires 50 code changes.

PS. Someone else mentioned something like COLOR_TURQUOISE. TURQUOISE is obviously always the same color and will never need to be configured. But you could #define LABEL_COLOR as COLOR_TURQUOISE to make all your labels TURQUOISE, and change it to #define LABEL_COLOR COLOR_BRIGHT_YELLOW if you change your mind. That may be a minor improvement to readability.

What I have used is a macro defining for example COLOR_YELLOW and some macros that can make any color brighter, darker, more pale and so on which makes it easier to use related colors. On the other hand, if you have graphic designers who insist on giving you RGB values, then that's what you use.

If you were going to use that particular colour multiple times, then having it in a variable or constant, ideally with all three parts held together in some structure, might better, but if it's only used once it's fine as it is.

If it was three parts together you could give it a meaningful name like COLOR_TURQUOISE or LABEL_COLOR or something - those names might be helpful. But a name just to show that 32 is going to be the red component of some colour is not really helpful.

If not, then a configuration file or other external configuration capability that holds the colors is the way to remove these magic numbers from your code. This will potentially allow different users to customize the colors for their monitor and vision.

It's absolutely clear from the context that 32 means the red component, 128 the green component and 192 the blue component (unless you're using some kind of exotic framework that has a different order [which would be stupid btw]).

Stricter validation would be nice, or the ability to build RegEx to control the entry. I do have one odd case though where I actually add words to phone numbers in my app, so I can further specify if the number is a work, cell, home, parent, child, etc phone number. It works great because my phone will ignore non-numbers, but if I had to, I could still use a text entry componenet.

To Jupyter users: Magics are specific to and provided by the IPython kernel.Whether Magics are available on a kernel is a decision that is made bythe kernel developer on a per-kernel basis. To work properly, Magics mustuse a syntax element which is not valid in the underlying language. Forexample, the IPython kernel uses the % syntax element for Magics as %is not a valid unary operator in Python. However, % might have meaning inother languages.
