Ios8 stopped my sim from being seen

Last week I upgraded my 2nd gen ipad 64gb to ios8 and immediately my previously perfectly functioning ipad lost its 3g connection. In fact it simply shows "no SIM" now. I have tried reset, restore, factory reset, airplane mode on/off etc - every step anyone has ever said could work.
The SIM is still good as it works without any problem in my other ipad 2nd gen (which is still on ios7 and will stay there unless apple fix this software bug). Likewise the sim for the second machine is also not "seen" by the ipad I upgraded.
I finally took the machine to the genius bar at the local apple store where after further exhaustive checks of the sim slot they found no noticeable fault and  concluded my only option would be to pay £200 for a refurb replacement. Which, incidentally, is for sale for £369 anyway.
Please Apple fix ios8.
Having been a loyal customer for 24 years with 13 devices in current use from across your range I cannot believe that after 3 hours on phone and 2 in store your "best" client service is to charge be £200 by stealth through software that bricked my device that is only 3 years old.
Not impressed
Avoid ios8 if you have an ipad 2 3g
Wish I had.

Hi formerappfan,
you should follow at first these troubleshooting article and test the resolution.

If this is not solving your issue, i recommend to contact AppleCare for further investigation.

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

    Change the password for your AppleID you used to set up iMessaging, and do not tell them the password.  Tell them to get their own AppleIDs for use with their own iMessage accounts.

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

  • Can I Stop my Images from being Copied from my Web Pages

    On some websites I visit, it prevents you from right clicking on the image and saving it. A message pops up saying the image cannot be copied.
    Would any of you kind folk know of a way I can stop my images from being saved from my Dreamweaver web pages?
    Many thanks in advance for your anticipated help!

    I asked a question. Hans was kind enough to give me a solution, and for that I thank him! I have also learned a little more in the process!
    We have already established that the solution stops people right clicking on an image and saving the image (be it in Windows Explorer or not), but it has also been established that it is by no means a fool proof way of protecting images and that there are other ways of copying images from a webpage. However, it is another level of protection.
    Unfortunately, I do not want to watermark my images as I do not like looking as watermarked images myself. I also downsize my images for the web. I was just looking for another level of protection.
    Thanks for the input anyway!

  • How to stop an email from being sent after I hit send?

    How can I immediately stop an email from being sent after clicking "send"?
    I can't seem to find any info on this. I am assuming that it is impossible. Correct?

    When sending the emails with larger attachments that take a little time to actually upload and get out, you can open the activity viewer by pressing command-0 (or is it command-o?--)--it may also be under the window menu at the top--I'm not at my Mac right now to check. The activity viewer has a stop button on it. After you stop it, you should be able to either delete the email from the outgoing mail folder or drag that email to another folder, such as the drafts folder. I've done this a few times without a problem.

  • How to stop an idoc from being processed further

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement where i have to stop the idoc from being processed in an user exit.
    I have to stop the idoc and give a suitable status message over there.
    It would be highly helpful if anybody tells me how to stop the idoc abruptly and giv the status messsage.
    Thanks in advance.
    Praveen.

    Hi,
    Check the below link
    https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=11810720&messageID=3032674
    You need to find aproper EXIT.
    The avaliable options for you in the exit is
    IDOC_DATA
    Now if i pick the segment having shiped qty from the data record and check the same with the delivery qty your objective is half done.
    When the condition fails you need to update the IDOC with Error 51 saying that this is not possible .
    for that you need to bring your logic as
    LOOP AT IDOC_CONTROL.
    PERFORM LOGIC...
    ENDLOOP.
    FOR LOGIC .
    All the criteria and then update the status of the IDOC then error is generated and updated to the IDOc.
    PERFORM updatestatusidoc.
    endform logic.
    like this in
    form updatestatusidoc.
    IF subrc = 0 .
    t_idoc_status-docnum = f_idoc_contrl-docnum.
    t_idoc_status-status = c_idoc_status_ok.
    t_idoc_status-msgty = 'S'. -
    >denotes success
    t_idoc_status-msgid = 'ZXXX'.
    t_idoc_status-msgno = '000'. "
    t_idoc_status-msgv1 = itab-field.
    APPEND t_idoc_status.
    ELSEIF subrc = 1.
    t_idoc_status-docnum = f_idoc_contrl-docnum.
    t_idoc_status-status = c_idoc_status_error.
    t_idoc_status-msgty = 'E'. "denotes --->error
    t_idoc_status-msgid = 'ZXXX'.
    t_idoc_status-msgno = '001'. "
    t_idoc_status-msgv1 = itab-field.
    APPEND t_idoc_status.
    endif.
    endform.
    this has to be done to make the idoc to trigger error mode.

  • How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
    If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
    Thanks

    SOLUTION FOR UNREAD COMCAST MAIL...so far, so good
    I went to Comcast.net and created a folder titled "Archive 10-2-13" and then went back into my inbox on the site and clicked the 'select all' box at the top of the email page. I could only see what would fit on my screen, but figured out that if I scrolled ALL the way to the very end (which was a l-o-n-g time for 30,000 emails) and then clicked "move to' at the top of the page and chose "Archive 10-2-13"..all my mail went there and no longer comes up as unread on my iPhone.
    I don't know if this will work for other POP accounts (Hotmail, etc.) but HALLELUJAH! I have ZERO unread email messages showing!
