Many Thanks

My ipad is not recognizing my sim card

my Ipad 2 is about 2 years old, i have downloaded IOS 7
and now i keep getting a message that i have no sim card ... i am travelling and require my 3G when not in wifi areas
anyone else had this problem ?? is it related to the IOS 7 ??
thanks ...
i have tried to reinsert the sim card ,,,,, but have no paper clip !!!

I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but after having the same "No Sim Card" problem after installing iOS7, trying the various "fixes" ... removing and replacing Sim Card, turning Airport Mode off and on, etc., without a permanent fix, just now I removed the Sim Card and cleaned the inside of the Sim Card slot on my iPad2.
To do this I took a thin flexible piece of plastic ... it's actually one of the removable collar stiffeners from a men's dress shirt, but a sized strip of cardboard would also work. I folded a cut-to-fit strip of paper towel ( I used heavy duty Bounty paper towel so it wouldn't fall apart ... a piece of clean cotton would work as well) over the plastic strip, soaked it with isopropyl alcohol, and carefully slid it back and forth in the slot a couple of times.
Then I reinserted the sim card and turned the iPad back on. At first I got the no card message again, but after simply turning Airport mode off and on, then wi-fi off and on, it started working again. This was a few hours ago. I've gone back to the iPad several times now and when I've turned it on, it continues to work properly. Only time will tell if this will work permanently, but since I've had the no card message non-stop for 2 weeks now, it's definitely encouraging.
It makes sense, because one of the fixes was to clean the Sim Card. Why wouldn't the Sim Card's receptacle be just as likely to get dirty or have a tiny bit of dust on it, stopping the connection? Wish me luck.

Locked screen and locked SIM card

My screen will not unlock when I slide on the screeen from the key in the center to the lock? and my sim card is disabled. Is there an override code to enable it?

REUP, we all rely on our phones to stay connected with family and friends so I know how frustrating this must be. But don’t worry because I’m here to help!
Are you still unable to unlock your phone and SIM card? Try rebooting the phone and SIM card for a minute and retest.
What phone do you have? Are you getting an error message regarding the SIM card being locked? Please post back with additional details regarding your issue so I can further assist you.

Reset iPad to factory settings without SIM card

I ordered a used iPad 1 3G+wifi on Amazon and I found out that the seller is not including the SIM card. I believe all iPads are carrier unlocked (which I don't care about other than whether it would make it easier or not to "set up as a new device.") However, just because it is unlocked may not mean it will not require a sim, right?
Do I need the SIM card (or any other At&T sim) for factory resetting?
Thanks for helping if you can, guys!
for your reference:
My question is similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5611739, except it's about the iPad, not phone.

BTW, this is a U.S. AT&T Ipad 1.

TS4006 Would we still be able to locate a lost or stolen iPad on iCloud if the SIM card is removed and replaced with a new SIM card?

If an iPad was lost or stolen and the person who has it has changed the SIM card, would we still be able ot track it on iCloud? Also would changing the SIM card result in a response "offline" on the iCloud?

Welcome to the community.
Changing the SIM, will not stop the phone being tracked. It can even be tracked when there is no SIM at all in the phone.

How to connect my ipad mini wifi without a SIM card

How do I connect my ipad mini cellular to wifi without a sim card

If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed. A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network. Its 2 different things.
For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network. It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

After researching this topic, I found the placing an old SIM card in a new iPad would be impossible. There is no way for consumers to remove the back cover... Without dropping it off a building. My best suggestion: Use the current plan up first. Then buy a new plan.

Locked SIM card

Be aware that if you try unsuccessfully to add a password to your Sim card you will locked out requiring a call to AT & T for a PUK unlock code. Apple cannot assist with this problem.
iphone Mac OS X (10.4.10)

or even if the sim card is burned and requires replacement.
I was under the impression that the sim card was locked in the phone and not accessible by users.

Can I use ipad mini with cellular without SIM card

I have purchased a ipad mini with wifi and cellular, thinking I could use my UK SIM card when required but leave it out when not in the UK. (Live in Qatar)
I can't activate imessage or facetime, and also I didn't realise it needs a nano sim not my micro sim. I get a cannot connect to network message.
Do I need to purchase a new sim for the ipad to work properly, I did assume it would work the same as an wifi only ipad if sim wasn't present.
Thanks

Thanks James. I was hoping that was the case.
I've already updated the software, from a quick search that seems to be the network issue for imessage/FaceTime. Is there a fix for this? Ive no back up to go back to.
