HT201415 My ipad 2 running iOS 6.0 will not recognize my SIM card

My ipad 2 is not recognizing my SIM card what can I do to fix this probllym

I would try closing the app. Double tap the home key to open multi-tasking. Hold the app you want to close (facebook) for about 2 seconds and it should start wiggling. tap the x in the top right corner and it will close. Then open the app and try again.
After that try rebooting the device.

My iPad 3 running iOS 8.1 will not upgrade to 8.3. I have downloaded 8.3 but when I press install now and choose agree nothing happens for hours. Any help?

MY ipad3 running iOS 8.1 does not upgrade to 8.3. I have downloaded 8.3 but when I press install now and choose agree, nothing happens for hours. Any help?.

You are in the wrong discussion forum, but ok:
-- You say it is running 8.1 now, but your profile says 6.1.3, plse update your profile.
-- Did you download in Mac iTunes? or directly in the iPhone?
if in Mac iTunes: check the following Finder location: Startupdisk->Homefolder (yourname)->Library->iTunes->iPadSoftwareUpdates : the downloaded file should be there and be complete the extension should be .ipsw, if it is not there or not complete you should download again.
if in the iPhone: notice that the install phase and verifying phase and restarting phase need (good) internet connection.

IPad 1 running IOS 5.1.1 not working with home WIFI, but everywhere else

I have an iPad 1 supporting 3G and WIFI running IOS 5.1.1 and up to now it has worked great. We recently had the cable modem in the house upgraded and the box included a better WIFI system than we had before. After installation, all the laptops in the house worked great except my iPad. One of the kickers is that when my wife came home with her iPad 1 running IOS 4, it worked great too. And when I've gone to a hotspot, it also gets connected well.
The symptoms are that the WIFI menu will see my home network as an option. When I select it, I get a spinner and the left side bar will indicate that it is using that network, but the spinner never completes. The upper left will mostly stay as 3G and will occasionally go to a WIFI setting, but nothing will connect. If I tap on the details, I usually don't get DHCP connection and get an IP address. Once in a great while, I can connect up and have access, but it is incredibly slow and usually fades off in a minute.
I have tried turning off the iPad, resetting network settings, telling it to forget the network and try again and reset the iPad. I have removed all security from the router, reduced down the encryption to WEP like the old wireless router and still nothing. Of course the Cable company says it is the iPad problem and I tend to agree.
My next step is to erase and start over, which I do not wish to do if I don't have to.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

When I connect my IPad to the computer my computer will not recognize the device as being plugged in

I'm trying to connect my IPad to both of my computers. Each time I plug it into the USB port I get nothing. The computer doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in. I have tried re-installing ITunes, as recommended, but I still can't get the computers to pick up my IPad. What is happening?

My iphone 4s (ios 6.1) doesn't recognize my sim card with 3g

I've been using my iphone's 3g for 2 weeks, but now it stopped working, whenever the 3g logo appears on top of the screen my phone stop working, i can't even recieve calls or send a text messeage, but when the E appears (EDGE i think) the phone works or either without the mobile internet, maybe is the sim card, i cut my old sim manually to turn it to a micro-sim, or the software, i heard that iOS 6.1 crashes a lot, i'm using an argentinian carrier

Hello, ClayJM.
Good job on your attempts to troubleshoot the issue already. Wanted to point out a good article I found:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Although it states it's for purchased apps it has specific steps to try that might still be helpful in your situation. Specifically Steps 4 and 5 have always been useful for me:
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Thanks for reaching out to us on Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

IPad 2 with iOS 7.1 will not pair with ZAGGfolio keyboard

I have been unable to get my iPad 2 to pair with my ZAGGfolio keyboard. The keyboard is brand new, and it is the first Bluetooth accessory I have tried to use. When I press the connect button on the keyboard, the iPad will discover it. When I select it, I receive a Bluetooth Pairing Request, and I am given a 4-digit code to enter on the keyboard. When I type the code on the keyboard, nothing happens. After a short time, I am notified that the Pairing was Unsuccessful, and to check that the keyboard is turned on (it is), in range (it is only a few inches from the iPad), and is ready to pair (it is). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is the keyboard fully charged? The zagg keyboards are great in that their battery lasts for months, but that also makes it easy for you to forget how long it's been and have the battery run down.
If the simple tweaks don't fix it, call the company. In my experience, they have wonderful customer service.

IPhone 5 running iOS 7 suddenly will not connect to the iTunes store app. Was working fine since the upgrade to iOS 7. Anyone else having the same problem?

I upgraded to iOS 7 the other day and everything worked fine. Today I noticed I can no longer open the iTunes app on my phone. I used it yesterday to download a few songs and today it gives me a white screen with menu tabs on the bottom that also do not open. I have tried every suggestion and read all the official apple support items and none of it works. Anyone else have this problem or have it fixed after you had the same problem?

I have exactly the same problem. I too have tried everything that's been suggested, but still not working. Don't really what to do next? I have an iPhone 4S.

My ipad 2, with IOS 7.1, will not load google maps.

The message I get is " There was a problem connecting to the network". My iPhone loads google maps on the same network.

Try resetting the iPad and then see if you can connect.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How do I retrieve the Identifier number from iPad 2, running iOS 5.1.1?

I am trying to de-bug a game on my daughter's iPad 2, running iOS 5.1.1, and want to send the Advertising Identifier number to the game developer. However, I seem to be unable to retrieve the number.
I tried downloading the app "the identifiers," but whenever I click "i" to enable numbers, it crashes.
Also, when I visit the apple support page for retrieving the advertising identifier name, it says to enter "oo.apple.com" on the device, but that link seems to only redirect back to itself.
Very frustrating. How else might I locate the Advertising Identifier?
Message was edited by: chris romano

Oh, another mistake on my part!
I need to ENABLE the identifier on the iPad2 iOS 5.1.1... this should get The Identifier app working, and then I can read the number and tell them.
However, on iOS 5.1.1, there is no Settings > Privacy > Advertising that I have been able to find.
I apologize for all the fumbles on my end... I put this problem down a week ago and I am just picking it back up, so I kind of forgot some important details. Doh!

ITunes 11 wifi sync will not recognize my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 running iOS 6

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (both running iOS 6.0.1) as active devices for the purposes of wifi sync. It does, however, recognize my iPad 1 running iOS 5. The only way I can sync my iPad 2 or iPhone 4 is to attach the USB cable.
The older version of iTunes 10 started exhibiting this behavior when iOS 6 was released, but I was able to get iTunes to recognize the devices by powering them off and then back on.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Some advice from Apple would be appreciated.

Guys, I just performed the Itunes update and experienced the same (honestly I was expecting it),
My sollution was, clear up caches on both iPad 2 and iTunes.
Exactly what I did was the following:
1. Update iTunes.
2. Deactivate the home sharing on iTunes.
3. Disconect iPad from home sharing.
4. On iTunes>Preferences>Devices "Allow" the automatic sync for iPod, iPhone & iPad
5. Click on the button labeled "restart synchronization historical" (sorry, don't know how the button looks in English, mine is in Spanish)
6. Click Ok
7. To clear up iPad's caché I force reset the device by pressing and hold both buttons on the device (front and top)
8. Activate the home sharing on both devices again and voilá... there is my full blues collection again!
Maybe for some people it will work this way just fine and for others by doing in a different order, after all for what I see is a caché issue.
Let me know if it was of any help, I'm more PC than mac but network issues are the same and I'm more than glad to help and learn any time.

I can see home sharing on my iPhone and iPad both running iOS 5 but when it loads the library is empty. Help!!

The iPad is new today so pleeeease help! I have the latest version of iTunes and both iPhone and iPad are up to date. I have never had a problem with home sharing before 10.5 iTunes. Both mobile devices can eventually see the shared library but load it as though it is empty. This applies to movies as well. I have turned off home sharing on the mac and restarted it. I have also made sure that the username and password on both mobile devices are correct. Help!
Mac mini ppc running 10.5.8
iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0
iPad 2 running iOS 5.0

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. The email app is not working. The screen shows empty email box, then closes on its own. I have tried closing the app, turning ipad on and off and reset to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I Have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. When I open email, the email isn't there. I have tried closing the app, turning off the ipad and resetting the iPad. None of that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

So the app is opening to a white screen then closing on its own? If you have deleted your email accounts & the app is still crashing then I would try resetting all settings (without deleting data).
Did you reboot the iPad after removing the email accounts? If not, try that first holding the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears, then release & once booted back up, try opening the mail app again.
The problem may have started because one of your email messages might have been corrupt or had a corrupt attachment. If you can access it from a computer, sign into your email & see if there are any that can't be opened or produce errors opening. If so, delete the offending emails then try adding the account back to the iPad.

HT4137 Please I don't remember the restriction passcode on my ipad 2 running ios 7.1. Please any help to reset it because I don't want to loose my documents?????

Please I don't remember the restriction passcode on my ipad 2 running ios 7.1. Please any help to reset it because I don't want to loose my documents?????

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
