To find your serial on a Mac computer, click the Apple icon at the top-left corner of your screen and click to About This Mac. You will then see your serial number at the bottom of the pop-up window.  

There are also other ways to find your Apple product’s serial number, and the customer support rep can assist you if you’re having trouble.

To make an appointment for a repair, scroll down and select Set up a repair. Then follow the on-screen instructions to choose your device and the reason you are bringing it in for repair. Finally, select Bring in for repair. If you don’t see this option, go back and choose another reason. You might be asked to enter your Apple ID and password to continue.

Then choose your device, enter its serial number, or click Skip this step. Next, you can search for the closest Apple Store by using your current location or entering a zip code or address. After you select a location, you can choose an available time and date to bring your item in for repairs or to return it.

You can also return items to any Apple Store location, even if you bought them online.
