I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

Exactly, what do you mean by "does not accept sim card"? Are you saying you purchased a carrier locked iPhone & you can't use a sim from a different carrier? If so, that's the way it works. Carrier locked iPhones can only be used/activated on the carrier's network the phone is locked to. Either return it for a refund or contact the carrier the phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • It wants a password, but does not accept my normal password

    it wants a password, but does not accept my normal password

    What do you mean by your "normal password"?
    Each of your email accounts must have its own password, regardless of any you use to login to your computer.
    Which email provider are you using? Firewall? OS? Version of Thunderbird?

    Accept cookies selected but does not accept without repeated clicks to accept. Does not show cookies in exceptions window

    I have at least one site that continues to say cookies are not allowed and gives instructions for allowing them in Firefox. Nothing I have done helps. My Firefox version is 3.5.7 and Firefox says there are no new updates.

  • My account needs updating but will not accept my card security code

    My account needs updating but will not accept my card security code why?

    As of today, I'm having the same problem. My iTunes account has been up and active for a long time using the same card, then suddenly the security code isn't valid. I've double checked all the info and it is correct, but iTunes refuses to accept it… I also tried the article linked above, but it is no help at all. There is no option to select "None" as a payment choice.
    Just to be very clear: I've been using my iTunes account to make purchases with this exact card since 2009, my bank info hasn't changed since 2008, my card is not expired, and the security code is correct.
    If anyone comes up with a solution, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I can't even get the free updates to my apps since my payment info is busted. Grrrr.

  • My iPod touch 5gen sees the wifi but does not accept the password

    My iPod touch does not accept the password for my home wifi but can connect to other wifi like Best Buy's.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I reside in India bought 4s while on holiday to USA. Phone unlocked but does not recognise sim. Probably phone to be replaced. I cannot go to USA for this. How do I resolve this

    I reside in chennai India. Bought iPhone 4s while on holiday to USA from best buy. On return to chennai I have got it unlocked. But the phone does not recognise the sim. Contacted local apple service. They say phone to be replaced. I cannot go to USA for this and courier charges are very high. What do I do? Can I get it replaced in India? If so where and how?  I could have bought the phone in India itself I just wanted a souvenir from USA. Is this the quality check they do there. Pl help

    Best Buy does not sell unlocked iPhones.
    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can officially unlock it.
    Getting the device unlocked anywhere else involves hacking/jailbreaking the device which voids the warranty and the user's right to support from these Apple forums.
    Warranty and Support are only valid in the country of origin, in your case, the US.
    Enjoy the paper weight.
    I do believe your last sentence is deeply atrocious! You have no call to ridicule somebody who doesn't know these things. Sure, he has done something out of ignorance but, if ignorance is a crime and something to be a subject of ridicule, then God help us all!

    Hi All,

    Could anyone help me on what needs to be done?
    Reply will be much appreciated.

    Hi @imobl,
    You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
    To respond to some of the points you made,
    - I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
    - you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
    - all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
    And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
    Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.
