HT201412 Do i need a SIM to activate a new Ipad, i have wireless but the ipad continues to say no SIM

i have just tryed to activate my ipad and it says there is no SIM which is correct, i have WIFi in the house but the Ipad will only go to the page where you select language and will not go any further

Hello there, Stuart148.
As long as your iPad is iPad2 or later you should be running iOS 6 and should be able to set it up without a sim-card. If you're not up to date, a restore using iTunes would get you to the most current iOS version:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

If you're iPad is first-generation then you are unable to run the latest iOS version and will need the  sim-card to activate it.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

    i need help trying to activate my new phone online where do i go??

    Log in to your MyVerizon (verizonwireless.com) and on the Overview page scroll down to I WANT TO... in the third column of boxes, under DEVICE, the 3rd one down is "Activate or Switch Device".  Click on that and follow the instructions.  If there is an issue, it will instruct you to call customer service or you will be connected to customer service automatically.  Let us know if this works...

    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
    If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
    Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
    Options if you cannot upgrade:  iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there.  Backup your device directly to  iCloud over a wireless connection.  Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

  • My iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • I need MS office for Chinese online banking.The Apple website says the Air can use the latest MS Office if it has a 32bit processor, but the tech specs dont say which Airs have a 32bit processor.  Where can I find out?

    Thanks, but the website says I need a 32 bit processor so presumably a 64 bit processor is no good? Or can a 64 bit automatically do everything a 32 bit one can do?
    Where is the link that says you need a 32 bit processor?  On my MBA, in the past I've ran both Office for Mac and Windows 7 (MS Office) via Parallels (Bootcamp does the same thing).  I chose installing Windows 7 in the 32 bit mode ONLY because I have a couple of other legacy Windows programs that only run in 32 bit mode.

    Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

    Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
    Two things come into my mind:
    1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
    2) Apples activation servers are down.
    That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

  • Why can I not activate my new iPad on IMessage

    I Have a new iPad and it will not activate iMessage or FaceTime it comes up with the message check your internet connection, It is ok. Can any one help me please.

    You don't have a SIM in it?
    It was hacked to unlock it?
    It got run over by a truck?
    Any of these are possibilities, but unless you actually provide some information as to what you're doing and what the result is, we can't help you.

    2. Click More Info Under Contents
    3. Select Hardware
    If your Mac mini's Boot ROM version is the following or more recent, then you do not need the update to use 8 GB of RAM;
