Hi Shaun, Aargh! I couldn't check the instructions on iTunes 7.6 -- I only hoped that it would be accessible in Leopard, especially since they mentioned copy to clipboard and paste!
You can open the com.apple.iPod.plist file with PlistEditPro: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22659 This is shareware, so you can download and try it. There's a prompt at the startup screen encouraging you to register and purchase this, so you have to wait for that to finish before you can click the continue button, which stays dimmed for 30 seconds. Or Prefsetter, which is freeware, also works for this: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/prefsetter.html Use VO-keys+backslash to expand the devices (collapsed, level 1) in the outline, and then again to expand each of the items (collapsed, level 2) below it in the outine. An entry will show up for every iPod that has been connected to your machine. The expanded items contain the serial numbers. HTH.
