How to find out the device ID

For some situations it useful to know the 40 digit device id, which uniquely identifies your iPhone or iPod touch. WorldView uses this ID for backing up your bookmarks for example, so you don't need to setup a user account somewhere.

There are several ways to get this information:

By using iTunes:

• Attach your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as you normally would to sync it. iTunes should start up automatically.
• When your device appears under Devices, click it once.
• From the device summary page, you will see the Serial Number, click it once.
• The serial number will be replaced by the words Identifier (UDID).
• Pressing Cmd-C (Mac) or Ctrl-C (Windows) will copy the 40 character hex string to the clipboard.
• You can now paste (Mac: Cmd-V; Windows: Ctrl-V) the string into an email or anywhere else you want it to be.

Using the iPhone Configuration Utility

• Downloaded the app from Apple’s site: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/
• Install the app
• Attach your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as you normally would to sync it.
• Start the app
• Select the device, the UDID will appear behind the title identifier
• Mark the text and paste it anywhere you need it

Using an application on the device

• Open the AppStore app on your device
• Search for Ad Hoc Helper (it is a free app from Erica Sadun)
• Download the app
• Start the app
• You can now send the UDID out via email
