How do i obtain a PUK code for my Ipad (and yes that is what my Ipad is asking for)

I own 64bit Ipad.  One day I turned it on and it said "Enter a PUK code".  I don't have any idea what this means, I just know my Ipad has been inoperable since.
There is no carrier, it's not a phone.  Just Wi-Fi.  I have wasted SO much time trying to get this resolved I am ready to throw this thing in the drink.  No help from Apple, there is no "carrier", so ***????!!!!!  Feels like a $900 rip off right now.  I am not a general Mac or Itunes user, bought this Ipad as an experiment for EHR in my medical office, where it could have been a very handy tool.  I don't want to loose all of the medical information already downloaded, and Itunes doesn't recognize it when I plug it in to my laptop.
I have removed the Sims card, then the picture of a USB cable pointing to the Itunes icon appears.  Itunes and the Ipad don't seem to recognize each other from the same device that I've updated on before.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  I'm really upset that Apple wants to charge me to tell me how to fix it, when it was as simple as me turning it off one day, and getting this  message the next, ya know???!!!!

The only one that can issue a PUK code is a carrier, which you've already made clear you don't have.
If itunes does not recognise your ipad that may be another issue. What version OS is on your computer and what steps did you follow to uninstall itunes and then reiinstall itunes on your computer?
And, do you at least see the sidebar on the left hand side of itunes?

Do you have another computer you can try?

  • How can I get the PUK code for my SIM card?

    I had to do a factory reset this morning on my DROID RAZR. As I was going through this afternoon setting everything up again, I saw that I could set a password for my SIM card. I thought it was asking me to create a password, not enter a default one. So needless to say, I locked myself out of my phone, and I need the PUK code. I cannot call, this is my only phone, and I cannot go to a local store today or tomorrow. I also cannot go the next two days without my phone. I've tried doing a chat, but because it's only sales that communicate through the chat, they were less than helpful and told me I can only fix this by going to a store, which I can't do.
    So, can I chat with anyone to get my PUK code today via internet?

    Why is this working for everyone, but me? When I follow these instructions (and many others that I've found in this community -- which has been helpful with other matters thus far) There is no PUK or SIM information. I have an (ESN) and my phone number. that's it. Help! I'm in a rabbit hole!
    Many thanks for any support you can provide!

  • How do I get the puk code for my iphone?

    My one month iphone 4s was not working.  I was given a new one today at the Apple store but now I have no phone access, a locked SIM card and need a PUK number.  Applecare also happens to be closed.  Any suggestions?

    Apparently, I have to contact Apple because they originally set up my Verizon account but unfortunately, they don't have 24 hour help.

  • HT1316 what is a puk code and how do i get a sim code for my ipad 1

    what is a PUK coade and how do i get a sim code for my ipad !? i was factory restoring my ipad and received a box asking for the puk and sim code? please help i am totally locked out.

    If you don't know the PIN or PUK, you'll need to contact your cell carrier for assistance and perhaps a replacement SIM.
    For the short term, if you remove the SIM you may then be able to get into your iPad, though I'm not certain. It's worth a try, though.
    Regards.

  • How obtain complete source code for applet demos?

    I would like to obtain the source code for all the class files for the applet demos, especially the molecule viewer. Some of the class files do not have corresponding java files made available. Who can help me out?

    Which class files are missing?
    If you go to this site, select the applet of interest, the link at the bottom of the page (that is, the page with the running applet in it) takes you to the source. The file at that link includes all of the classes in the applet.

  • I no longer have a service provider and my SIM is locked. How do I obtain my PUK?

    I no longer have a service provider and my SIM is locked. How do I obtain my PUK?

    if you don't have a carrier then the sim card and punk code is irrelevant and you will not be able to use it
    the only purpose of the sim card is to tie the phone to the carrier, and the puk code is a security code for the sim card
    trow away the sim card and when you get a new carrier you will be given a new sim card by that carrier

  • How do I get a PUK code if my cell phone carrier and iPad carrier are 2 different carriers?

    My iPad says it's an AT&T carrier but my cell phone is a verizon carrier. So, how am I supposta get a PUK code for my iPad?

    My iPad says it's an AT&T carrier but my cell phone is a verizon carrier.
    Why does that matter?
    AT&T iPads are not locked and therefore do not need a PUK.  But since they are GSM based, they cannot be used on Verizon's network which is CDMA.

    How can I get the unlock code for my iphone 3, I never had an acct with ATT and they refuse to help me, anyone have any suggestions?

    Apple would not be able to help you even if your iPhone was not jailbroken. Unlocking is completely up to the carrier, and AT&T's polices are clear; you must be a current or former customer.
    Sorry, but there is no way you can get the iPhone officially unlocked, and we cannot help with hacking the iPhone in these forums.
    Regards.
