What is the UDID?

There are many reasons you may need to look up your UDID, IMEI, or serial number of your iOS device. While earlier generations had the serial printed on the back casing of the device, many newer models don't.

Obtaining the UDID

  1. Open iTunes on a PC or MAC computer.
  2. Connect the iPad to the computer.
  3. After the iPad is connected, a summary screen will appear.
