I can't open the slot to get my micro SIM card in my new iPhone 5?

I Have just got the new iPhone 5 I can't open the slot to get my micro sim in. I have used the little tool but it won't budge. Help!

Tried a paperclip doesn't work. When I push it in the little hole it's as if it hits a wall or something nothing happens. Have I pushed it too hard?

TS4148 The sim card for my new iphone is not working and I can't get the sim card 'drawer' open - also can't get a telephone appointment with apple until Monday evening - any ideas?

The sim card for my new iphone 4, purchased today, is saying the sim card is not installed. I have followed the directions included on the support page but have two problems. 1. I can't open my sim card sleeve with the key and 2. I can't get any apple support until Monday evening - can anyone help please?

Hope this photo helps.

I have an SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card ? (I was told that Verizon has them for free but it needs to be set up and there was a charge for this.

I have a Samsung SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card instaslled for international ? I was told Verizon has them free for customers but that it needs to be "sert up". Also, are there alternatives to going through the verizon data plan (which is very expensive.
Thanks

Your phone already has a micro SIM card in the device so it can connect to the VZW network. You will need an international plan from VZW if you intend to use that SIM card. Otherwise you can get a new SIM card from the local carrier and setup the phone for global use with a separate APN with that carrier's specific information.

I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.

Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

Can I use my iPhone 4 SIM card in a new iPhone 5?

Can I use my iPhone 4 SIM card in a new iPhone 5?

No. The 5 has a nano sim and the 4 doesn't

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Can i activate my twin sim card in a new iphone 4s while being in the States?

Hi all! I live in Cyprus and I'm travelling to the States next week. I'm planning to buy the iphone 4s from an apple store (factory unclocked) and I would like to know if I can activate the twin sim card I purchased from my carrier here in Cyprus. The carrier is vodaphone and the reason I bought a twin sim card is that I already have another mobile device which uses a sim card. The people at the carrier's office told me that in order to activate the seond sim card (or twin card, both sim cards use the same phone number) I need to type #103# to swtich between the devices. If I was going to do this in Cyprus, it will work, but what about doing this thing while being in the States? Can I put the new sim card in the new iphone 4s that I'm going to buy, type #103# and then the sim card will be activated? Or should I need to do somethine else?
In case I cannot do this or if there is an alternative plan (e.g., activate the sim card using a friend's iphone 4s while I'm in Cyprus?), I would be glad to hear it.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

In my OPINION, you will not be able to activate your SIM issued from Cyprus while in U.S.A. The simple logic is, your "future SIM" will be on roaming in U.S.A. and in order to search for the signals for roaming partner carrier and get registered (provided that there is a roaming partner of vodaphone Cyprus in U.S.A.) it needs to be activated first. So, you need to activate your SIM in Cyprus to be able to use it with a compatible roaming partner in U.S.A.

I just bought an iPhone that is stuck on the setup screen. I have Tmobile and want to know if I should unlock my phone first or get a micro sim card from Tmobile

My iPhone 4 is stuck on the setup screen. I just bought it tonight and plan to use it on Tmobile but it is not unlocked yet. I was wondering if I should unlock the phone first or get my SIM card situation figured out with Tmobile first. Thanks for any help.

You'll have to get the SIM card first, you can't set it up without a supported SIM.

I have an old Mac laptop that Apple no longer supports -- so, I can't download the latest version of iTunes. Also, I got a new iPhone that won't communicate with my old version of iTunes. How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my new phone?

Old version of iTunes on laptop won't transfer music to my new iPhone.

Your profile shows you are running Lion (10.7.5). If this is the case, you certainly can sync with a new iPhone. If you are not running Lion, you will need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8). See below to purchase.

Can't get Sim Card out of new iPhone 6; Can't activate phone...

I'm unable to activate my new iPhone 6 because I can't remove the Sim Card despite several minutes of trying. First major fail… Can anyone offer some additional tips. It didn't come with a pin for this purpose. I'm using a paper clip.

You can visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and ask them to do that for you. Your device is still under warranty and they'll be happy to help you.

Could any one tell me nano sim can be cut from Normal sim like micro sim. I heard new iPhone uses nano sim

Hi All,
My friend told me he will get unlocked new iPhone on first week of launch .He is in Canada and i am in India. I heard new iPhone features nano sim. It is possible to cut nano sim from normal sim like we do for micro sim. iPhone releases in India only in November so if we cant get nano sim from normal sim , then i have to postponed my new iPhone purchase

No one here knows Apple's plans regarding any new iPhone & what type of sim that phone may or may not use. As to whether a Mico sim can be cut down to Nano size, the answer is yes. I suspect cutters will appear on the market shortly after such is released.
The real question you should be asking is why, if you live India, are you looking to purchase an iPhone anywhere else other than India. iPhone warranty & support is country specific, only valid in country of original purchase. You purchase an iPhone in Canada, you prepared to physically bring the phone back to Canada for ALL warranty & support issues? You can't mail it back to Apple. Makes no sense to me.

Can I use my old ATT/iphone sim card in a new iphone?

So, I want to get a new iPhone and put my first AT&T/iPhone sim card, the card that came in my first iPhone into.....will this work? normal activation thru iTunes? and tips, tricks, suggestions, etc.
thanks in advance,
Eric

You have to activate the iPhone because you have to active your iPhone account. This isn't just another phone that you can switch SIM cards between and it work.
I don't know what "back door" you're talking about but I hope that you would know by now the iPhone is not another regular cell phone. But it most certainly does work with any AT&T SIM.

How can i change the method that get a Bitmap file and return 15 new Bitmaps so the new Bitmaps will be also PixelFormat Format8bppIndexed ?

This is the method:

Color clock_color = Color.FromArgb(p2[e + f * bmD2.Width]);
p[e + f * bmD.Width] = clock_color.ToArgb();
image.UnlockBits(bmD);
radar_image.UnlockBits(bmD2);

catch
Logger.Write("Error Exception ==> " + error);
MessageBox.Show("Error Exception ==> " + error);
return localImages;
In the end i'm getting 15 Bitmaps in localImages.
localImages is Bitmap[]
The method get a Bitmap and the Bitmap pixel format is: Format8bppIndexed
I want that in the end the 15 Bitmaps in localImages will be also pixel format of Format8bppIndexed.
The problem is that if i change everywhere in the method from: PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb to PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed
I'm getting exception on the line:
pArray[a + b * bmDataArray.Width] = color2.ToArgb();

Thorsten Hi,
Too complicated for me i will try to look on it.
Also if you will have time later maybe you could look at it too ?
For now what i tried was to get the returned 15 new Bitmaps to a local array:
bitmaps = ImagesComparison.get_images_with_clouds(b1);
for (int i = 0; i < bitmaps.Length; i++)
ConvertTo1or8Bit.ColorToGrayscale(bitmaps[i]);
break;
Then make a convertion with a new class trying to convert the Bitmaps to 8 bit in the memory without saving them first to the hard disk. This is the new class:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
namespace mws
class ConvertTo1or8Bit
public ConvertTo1or8Bit()
public static Bitmap ColorToGrayscale(Bitmap bmp)
int w = bmp.Width,
h = bmp.Height,
r, ic, oc, bmpStride, outputStride, bytesPerPixel;
PixelFormat pfIn = bmp.PixelFormat;
ColorPalette palette;
Bitmap output;
BitmapData bmpData, outputData;
//Create the new bitmap
output = new Bitmap(w, h, PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
//Build a grayscale color Palette
palette = output.Palette;
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
Color tmp = Color.FromArgb(255, i, i, i);
palette.Entries[i] = Color.FromArgb(255, i, i, i);
output.Palette = palette;
//No need to convert formats if already in 8 bit
if (pfIn == PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed)
output = (Bitmap)bmp.Clone();
//Make sure the palette is a grayscale palette and not some other
//8-bit indexed palette
output.Palette = palette;
return output;
//Get the number of bytes per pixel
switch (pfIn)
case PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb: bytesPerPixel = 3; break;
case PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb: bytesPerPixel = 4; break;
case PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb: bytesPerPixel = 4; break;
default: throw new InvalidOperationException("Image format not supported");
//Lock the images
bmpData = bmp.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, w, h), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly,
pfIn);
outputData = output.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, w, h), ImageLockMode.WriteOnly,
PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed);
bmpStride = bmpData.Stride;
outputStride = outputData.Stride;
//Traverse each pixel of the image
unsafe
byte* bmpPtr = (byte*)bmpData.Scan0.ToPointer(),
outputPtr = (byte*)outputData.Scan0.ToPointer();
if (bytesPerPixel == 3)
//Convert the pixel to it's luminance using the formula:
// L = .299*R + .587*G + .114*B
//Note that ic is the input column and oc is the output column
for (r = 0; r < h; r++)
for (ic = oc = 0; oc < w; ic += 3, ++oc)
outputPtr[r * outputStride + oc] = (byte)(int)
(0.299f * bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic] +
0.587f * bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic + 1] +
0.114f * bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic + 2]);
else //bytesPerPixel == 4
//Convert the pixel to it's luminance using the formula:
// L = alpha * (.299*R + .587*G + .114*B)
//Note that ic is the input column and oc is the output column
for (r = 0; r < h; r++)
for (ic = oc = 0; oc < w; ic += 4, ++oc)
outputPtr[r * outputStride + oc] = (byte)(int)
((bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic] / 255.0f) *
(0.299f * bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic + 1] +
0.587f * bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic + 2] +
0.114f * bmpPtr[r * bmpStride + ic + 3]));
//Unlock the images
bmp.UnlockBits(bmpData);
output.UnlockBits(outputData);
return output;
But they are still 32 bit. So i guess i didn't realy understand yet how to do it.

I want to change my microsim and cannot open the slot??

I want to change my microsim. How can I open the slot?

Page 12 of the User Guide:
The micro-SIM card in some iPad Wi-Fi + 3G models is used for cellular data. It’s also
known as a third form factor (or 3FF) SIM. If your micro-SIM card wasn’t preinstalled or if
you change cellular data carriers, you may need to install or replace the micro-SIM card.
Open the SIM tray:
1 Insert the tip of the SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM tray.
Press firmly and push the tool straight in until the tray pops out. If you don’t have a
SIM eject tool, you can use the end of a paper clip.
2 Pull out the SIM tray to install or replace the micro-SIM card.

Just bought Nikon D600, can't open the raw file from my Photoshop element 9, please adivise. Thanks

Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
Brian

Hi,
The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
You need to either
1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
or
2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
For XP or Vista :
DNG Converter 8.3
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
For Windows 7 or 8
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5
For Mac
