Can't Open micro SIM tray on iPad 2

I was going to change the micro SIM card from my iPad to my new iPad2. I was able to open the SIM tray on the iPad with no problem, but on the iPad2 the SIM tray tool acts as if it's too big and won't go completely in the hole. I tried one from my iPhone and it's the same thing. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi Lincurt
The design is slightly different. Put iPad2 face down (use towel or something to protect screen if you don't have a Smart Cover or the like). Don't insert the Sim tool in sideways, but rather at a slight angle to follow the curve of the back.
Hope this helps.

How come i can't open the sim tray even if i use the small pin?

how come i can't open the sim tray even if i use the small pin?

Press firmly and push either the sim eject tool or a small paperclip straight in until the tray pops out.
If that doesn't work make an appointment at an Apple store.

I can't open the sim tray on my iphone4

My iphone 4 needs a new sim but the sim tray wont budge - any ideas?

Straighten a paper clip, insert end into iPhone SIM tray hole, and push very firmly until the SIM tray begins of come out, then just pull it out with your fingers.

Can't open my sim card tray

I can't open my sim card tray -- have tried paper clip, safety pin, etc...

Yes if its a one time problem one should visit the local store but since one might need it again and its a universal tool for all iphones and ipads so it might come handy some day or the other.
Its not very expensive

This listing is for less than a dollar and has three of them for less thana dollar and the SIM ejection tool can be kept in your iphone box or in your wallet.

Can I have a replacement for my Nano SIM tray of iPad Mini?

Hello, I just lost my nano sim tray of ipad mini 16GB white at a network carrier store. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement? I purchased the ipad in Singapore but I live in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Do I have to write to Apple in Singapore or US to ask for help? I am willing to pay for the replacement as long as I can get one for my iPad. i am afraid that Apple store in Ho Chi Minh would not help me for this stuff. Thanks much for your advices!

TS3274 Just got an ipad and can't open the SIM Card slot - is it meant to be spring loaded - as it comes with a little tool that you poke in the hole, but it will not pop out any help please?

Just got an ipad air, ordered from Apple online store, can't open the SIm card slot - comes with a special tool, but is it meant to be springloaded and just pop out? I think it is faulty.

Push pin in firmly (tap to enlarge image)

I do not believe that a SIM eject tool has been provided for the past couple of years.

Have you read through this? Remove the SIM card from your iPhone or iPad
It can sometimes be a bit tricky to get the angle right.

HT4061 cant open my sim tray

My phone has died and I cant open my sim tray to get the serial number... Please help

If you ever synced to your computer, you can find the serial number in iTunes, follow the steps in this article:
iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
If you can't do that, visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider and see if they can open the SIM tray.

I can't open the DVD tray

I can't open the DVD tray. There's nothing inside. I hear a sound (a grrrr) but it won't open.
I had that 2-3 times in the last 5 years and I always managed to open it by pushing the "DVD ROM drive open button" while I restart but not this time.
I also tried to put a paper clip in the little hole but that doesn't work either.
In the Apple help site, they say push the "eject media key" on your keyboard; I didn't know where that is but I know now it's the F12 key; when I push it I hear a sound coming from the tray (like a electric screwdriver) but nothing happens.
So what can I do ?
I saw that Andrew Favret had the same problem in October and Don Archibald said:
• Boot or restart the machine, immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. This will bring up Startup Manager. Once Startup Manager has finished loading, press the key combo Command-. (Command-Periodkey). This should open the tray.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried the "Option" key. The Start Up Manager appeared: A display with my 5 drives in the middle, and a Right Arrow icon on the right.
I did click on the right arrow and it started to load normally as it does when you turn the computer on.
So I try the whole thing again and now instead of clicking on the right arrow, I tried the command and period key. I hear again, a sound coming from the tray and I see the icon for "eject" on the screen but nothing happens. Tried 5-6 times. And the F12 key don't have any effect at this time.
If I had a disc in the tray, I'm sure the icons for the DVD drive will appear but the tray is empty.
Not sure if there's a relation but I just upgraded that same day to a new version of iTunes (from version 7 to 8.0.2) and 3 other upgrades: QuickTime player (from 7.1.3 to 7.5.5) Plus Java and Security something.

Usually there is a CD/DVD in the tray that won't eject, but you say the tray is empty. Are there any other users of you Mac, especially kids? Someone may have placed something in the tray that is causing the jam.
Here's the usual fixes.
First try a Restart while holding down the mouse button.
If that doesn’t work, look at these links:

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...

What roaming charges? If you have a local plan there are no roaming charges. This is a major reason for using a local plan.
Contact, or visit the website, whatever local provider you are considering and get their plan details.
