How do I stop iPad telling me I have no SIM card installed

I only use wifi, but I'm continually told every few minutes I have no SIM card installed how can I stop this.

Depending on your iPad model, if you have Siri you can tell her to turn Cellular Data off.  If you own the iPad 2, then the only way I was able to do it was to get a SIM card (you don't need to activate it) and place it in the Sim slot.  Once you do that, you then have access to turn off cellular data through settings.
Settings->Cellular Data - toggle it off.
Hope this helps!

  • How do I stop my ipad telling me there's no sim card installed?

    Hi,
    I have an iPad mini. I don't keep a SIM card in it (although I could, it's not limited to wifi only) and, in fact, I paid extra to buy the ipad without a contract to a network. Since "upgrading" to the latest ios, my ipad tells me there's "no SIM card installed" every few moments. It's happened 5 times so far, typing this and it's making me want to punch my ipad in the face. Is there any way to turn this off?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, same problem here, same sentiment!   it sure feels like harassment.  no solution works (even the absurd ones).  makes me regret the update :s

  • Does the iPad mini without cellular have a sim card?

    Does the iPad mini without cellular have a sim card?  I am reclycling my mini and the instructions say to remove the sim card but I don't see a slot for one.  Thanks

  • Original iPad 3G 64GB intermittantly says no sim card installed

    My iPad, original 3G 64 GB intermittantly says no sim card installed.  There is no pattern as to when this occurs.  Retarting the iPad sometimes helps.  I have removed the sim card, blown out the sim slot and reintalled the sim card.  I have done everything I can think of short of restoring back to factory condition.  I have since been lent another iPad (identical to mine) and have installed my original sim card.  So far, no issues.  This leads me to believe it is an issue with the iPad itself.  Can anyone offer any suggestions or help?
    Thanks,
    Art M.

    If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
    After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
    Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

  • Why does my iPad keep saying no SIM card installed?

    I have an iPad 2 IOS8. It keeps saying I have no SIM card installed, why is that and why do I need a SIM card?

    Hi CusMan!
    I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot that issue:

    The article is written toward iPhone users, but the steps for troubleshooting on the iPad are the same. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • No sim card installed error on iPad 3G

    Hello to the forum,
    My iPad 3G cannot read the micro sim card installed issued by Vodafone Greece. This micro sim card works perfectly on an iPhone 4. So what i did was i restore to factory settings and install the sim card, it didn't work, I restore the hole ipad and set it up from itunes as a new ipad, it didnt work either so far at IOS 3.2.2. I restore and update to 4.2.1 set it up as a new ipad and I am still getting the no sim card installed message. I restored network settings i tried with wifi on wifi off location services on and off NOTHING works still no sim...
    Can someone please advise? What is the issue? Can it be Fixed?

    Chiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
    I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
    Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there.

  • My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

    My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

  • I need to transfer everything from my iPad 2 to a brand new iPad 2. I've done my backup to iTunes. Can someone please help me with the rest? I don't know if I have a sim card. Both iPads are 2nd gen., 64 GB, and have 3G. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have an iPad 2 that is defective. Apple has replaced it with a new one. First off, how do I know if I have a Sim card?  Secondly, I backed up my old iPad the other night (iPad plugged into iTunes).  Can somebody help me and explain how I set up my new iPad now? Then how do I register it with my new serial number, etc.?  Any and all help is appreciated.  I'm not mechanically inclined, so to speak, so if anyone can make it easy on me it would be greatly appreciated. By the way, my iPad 2 is a 64 GB with WiFi and 3G. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    You need to restore your iPad from iTunes.
    Start iTunes.
    Plug in your iPad using the USB cable.
    Click on the iPad in the left hand column under "Devices".
    In the "Summary" tab, there are options to Back up, Update and Restore.
    Choose Restore, choose the backup and let it run.

    If your old iPad was capable of receiving data on the go, without wifi, then you have a SIM installed. Best to check anyway. You need either the tool supplied in the box, or the end of a paper clip to open the tray

  • How does 3G work? does it need a 3G sim-card?

    how does 3G work? does it need a 3G sim-card?

    If you want to use 3G services, then yes you will need a sim card in your 3G/wifi iPad - but if you just want to use wifi and/or the GPS capability of the iPad then you don't need to activate a 3G service with it

  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Copied from the link provided.
    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
