I pad keeps saying no sim card and there is one in

i pad locked dont know passcode didnt put one on and it keeps saying no sim card

Hello dolly,
The troubleshooting steps are still relevant regardless of iPhone or iPad. Here is the article about a forgotten passcode on an iOS device named iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes
Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."]
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

    You might want to get a new SIM from your carrier. If you frequently remove/replace it, the contacts may be worn.

  • My BB Bold 9900 / 9930 says Insert Sim Card even when there is a sim card inserted

    I've been using this simcard with my BB Bold 9930 for  5 months now and then 2 days ago my phone opened at the blackberry protect log-in pagethat happens when you use a new simcard (which I didn't). so i entered my username and password but then it will show that the username and password doesn't match but when i opened it in my computer and checked it.. it was a match. so i tried switching off my phone and then opening it again but then it will come out again and then again doesn't recognize my password.. i've been doing this until i reached the last attempt where after which they will disable your account for 15 minutes before you can try again. so what i did was to wait and try again until i was able to open it. it was working until yesterday when i restarted my phone again and then after a while the log-in page appeared again but this time it accepted my password then an "initializing sim card" appeared on my phone for a while after which the Insert sim card sign was there. so i tried turning it off and removed and re-inserted my sim card for 6 times it keep saying insert sim card everytime i open it. so i tried using another sim card of my friend which is the same network as mine and inserted my sim card on another phone! my simcard worked on the other phone and so as my friend's sim card worked on my blackberry! i don't know why my blackberry doesn't recognize my simcard! i can't switch to a sew simcard (number) because i am on a postpaid line now and it has a contract for 2 years, so i couldn't throw it away and use a new one! 
    Help anyone pls. how could i make my simcard worked on my blackberry again! Thanks!!

    If you're having issues with your SIM card, Globe Telecom should allow you to swap it for another at no cost to you.  Explain your experiment of exchanging SIM cards with your friend and how another SIM card worked fine in your phone.  This is clearly a faulty SIM card so it needs to be exchanged, no two ways about it.
    If Globe is unwilling to do a simple swap, which any other carrier worldwide would gladly do, tell them you'd like your issue escalated to RIM for resolution because you're obviously not getting anywhere with them.  Carriers would prefer not to escalate so they might give in and give you a new SIM card.  You shouldn't have to pay for it, either.
    I hope that helps you.

  • My I phone 3GS keeps saying no sim.  How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

    My iPhone keeps saying No SIM.  How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

    TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
    btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT  if there  is any area outage

    You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.
