My SIM card stopped working, is that an issue to address to my phone carrier or to apple?

My SIM card stopped working, and I have no idea why. I've had my phone for four months... Who can I bring it to to get it fixed?

Is there an error message? What is the exact wording of that message?
Remove the sim, clean the contacts, reseat the sim.
Go to your wireless provider and get a new sim.
Make an appointment at your local Apple store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Sim card stopped working

Last night I charged the pad, when I powered it back on this morning "no sim" detected was the message. I have used the cellular service for the less<30 days owned. Why would the pad display a h/w related message unless the card was removed? Sim is a passive device, relying on system for power & connectivity.
I'll back up & try new install...not what I purchased this for.....;(

Why not simply remove the Sim, clean it and reinstall it to see if this solves the problem. There could be poor electrical contact.
Another approach would be to try restting the iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

My iphone 4's lock button stopped working and my warrinty isnt up yet but my phone is cracked. will apple still be able to replace it?

the whole back side of my phone is cracked but i don't know how i never drop my phone and i always have a case on it. but now i can't use my lock button and i really don't like assistive touch. will apple be able to replace my phone even if the back side of the phone is cracked?

If the damage is not user inflicted, Apple will replace it.
Frankly the only way to know for sure is to take it to Apple and ask them.

Hey NicolasZen,
Thanks for the question and welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are experiencing issues with “No Service” or “Searching” on your iPhone. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting steps that you may wish to try:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4429
Your iPhone may have one of these symptoms:
- iPhone displays "No Service" or "Searching" in an area of good coverage
- iPhone doesn't regain service when returning to an area of coverage
Resolution
If you encounter either of the above symptoms on your iPhone, follow these steps to attempt to resolve the issue. Test after each step.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
2. Turn iPhone off and then on again.
3. Remove the SIM card and verify that it's a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it isn't damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
4. Check for a carrier-settings update. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Then tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, iOS will ask you if you want to install it. If Wi-Fi isn't available, connect your device to iTunes.
5. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
6. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
7. Restore the iPhone.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request que this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information. "
I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

That's the go-to advice with this one, p. (I certainly don't have much to offer beyond it, but it does a superb job in the vast majority of instances.)

SIM has stopped working. Unable to change PIN.

Hi all,
Working on a user's BB pearl 8120. He has been given a new handset (another pearl) replaceing the original one which had suffered wear and tear. Anyway, this morning he could use the original handset with the SIM inserted. I tried to move the SIM into the new handset and was prompted for the pin, which didn't work (tried twice), so I swapped the SIM out and put it back in the orginal handset, where it didn't recognise the users PIN.
Not a problem - I could get the PUK code from our service provider, O2 and then reset the pin. However this has not happened. The PUK code is accepted and it lets me choose and then verify a new PIN, but then displays an error message saying either that the PIN could not be changed OR the PIN did not match the existing PIN and could not be changed.
I have spent most of the afternoon on the phone to O2 and have been told that the SIM is now locked out, even though I still have three attempts left with the PUK code. I was under the impression that you have 10 attempts at the PUK code before it locks out the SIM for good. Interestingly, I've tried the PUK code a few more times since and it seems stuck on 3 attempts left.
I hope the above rant makes some sense. I't's been a frustrating afternoon trying to resolve this and I'm now resigned to having to order a new SIM card - which will no doubt please the user, who wanted his phone up and running this aft. Has anyone else had this happen to them? As I've never seen this occur on any handset or any other network before.
TIA.
London_Exile.

Please please please please help me on this one too and 1 other. I have put my perfectly working SIM into my old unlocked blackberry Pearl. Entered the PUK given to me by my carrier but nothing and absolutely nothing works for the enter PIN stage. Take my sim out and put it back in any of my other handsets (HTC and Nokia), no problem to get going. So what is the matter?
The other problem is i simply cannot find an OPTIONS icon or anything similar so where is it? Settings - Advanced Options I have or Settings - security options, but how the heck do I get to the ordinary OPTIONS to find device options.
Making me cry with frustration.
Thanks

HT201272 My pay method has stopped working, so that now I can't purchase anything from my iPad anymore,even when there's money in my account. How do I resume using my pay method to purchase.

My pay method has stopped working so that I can no longer purchase and/or download any apps or products onto my iPad. It is saying "there was a problem with a previous purchase. Use another pay method. What does this mean, and what do I do?
Further, in my attempts to correct the situation, I reset my iPad, resulting in my losing all the apps that I downloaded, and all the products I had bought and downloaded. How do I recover all of them (magazines, books, apps, etc).
Please, help.
Victor Kalala

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

5233 Memory card stopped working!

Hi,
I've had this phone for almost a year, it's good but there have been few problems.
I have an 8 GB memory card, which I had to reformat recently. Today I was downloaded a theme from nokia store. But suddenly my memory card stopped working. I re -inserted it but it doesn't show on phone.
56 MB of my phone memory and 6.5 GB of my external memory is free. I cant reformat cause memory card is not showing on phone.
Another problem that's appeared is that while typing, if move the cursor back it goes through each alphabet instead of each word.
3rd thing is wen I first posted here there was an option that allowed me to check response via email. Its not here anymore.
Please help all my data is on memory card.
Regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi mtank,
Thanks for your post.
If the memory card can't be read in the phone try your memory card in a cardreader connected to a PC to verify if the card is readable still. If it is copy all content to the PC and format the card. Then check the card in the phone and if it is accessible copy all content back to it from the PC. If you still can't read the card on the phone replace it with a new one. You can copy the original content to it from the PC first.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

Hi,
So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

Graphic card stops working, then recovers

I recently installed the plug-in for Pixel Bender on CS5.
When I open a jpg, and choose OilPaint, with the check box for GPU, as soon as I hit the OilPaint filter, my graphics card stops working, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then comes back on. I get a message that the card stopped working, but recovered.
I surmise this is a graphics card issue, or memory, or both? I don't know for sure.
I'm using an HP PC with 6 Gb RAM, and the card is a Nvidia GeForce 9500GT. The drivers for this card are all up to date.
CS5's performance settings are: 2 scratch discs (not the boot drive) with nearly a terabyte free space on one, and about 250 Gb on the other. The program shows about 5.7 Gb of available RAM, and the preferred setting (maximum) is about 3.8 Gb. I've got it at 3.7 Gb.
When the card recovers, it takes several minutes before I can see the image in Photoshop again. Then, when I try the filter again, I uncheck the GPU box, click on the OilPaint filter, and get a window that says the process timed out, and gives me 2 options: try again or cancel. After about 6 or 7 try-agains, the image will have the filter applied. It takes another 5 or 6 tries to finish with "OK" and then the image shows up in the pane, in Photoshop.
My computer has a 350W power supply, so the GeForce 9500 GT is the biggest card I can use in it.
Is it a question of an inadequate graphics card? Or, not enough RAM?
I could install a new power supply for the PC, then get a different card, if that would solve the problem. But, since I'm not sure if this is what I need to do, could I please have some suggestions on my issue with this whole thing?
Thanks very much.
Alan

Thanks for those links. I missed them, because I just had Windows search for updated drivers, and when I told it to search online, it said that the drivers were up to date. So....well, I'm sorry I didn't check NVIDIA directly. I appreciate your help in this.
Anyway, I did install the updated drivers. I rebooted the machine, just to make sure (I checked the properties of the card, and it showed the updated driver listed).
I re-tried the OilPaint, and the card crashed, as before. It gave me this message:
"The NVIDIA OpenGL lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close." It then closed CS5 (Bridge remained open, though).
It said there was an Error code: 8.
Thanks again for assisting me on this. What would be the next step to resolve this?

Satellite A210-1AP - video card stopped working playing Call Of Duty 4

Hello,
I am having problems with my video card.
When I was playing call of duty 4 in 5 minutes my video card stops working and screen restart.
Then it says Your video card stopped working, and problem solved.
My video card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600.

> Then it says Your video card stopped working, and problem solved.
And? Is it working now?
Possibly the graphic driver hung and therefore you received this message.
Its also possible that the GPU temperature was too high and therefore the message appeared.
The COC 4 needs a lot of hardware resources and everything must run with full performance! Therefore there is higher heat dissipation and this can lead to graphic card issues.

I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
Help.

BB1B2,
The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
Sorry,
Clinton
