    Hello bigmike25,
  I can certainly help you with your PUK code my friend! May I ask how many times did you try to enter your password on the iPad? In order to have the PUK code retrieved, we need the prepaid mobile number and the MEID of the iPad. Below are the steps on how to find these two pieces of information.
Settings > General >Cellular data number & MEID.
Once you have these two pieces of information then I encourage you to give us a call at 1-800-786-8419. We are looking forward to hearing from you and getting this resolved!
Thank you…

  • Locked SIM:  need PUK code to unlock

    Anyone got an answer to this? AT&T recommends that i restore to default settings through iTunes. All my settings and contacts, etc. will all have to be re-synced. Anyway around that option?

    From AT&T page.How to unblock SIM card...
    You'll need your phone in hand to unblock your SIM Card.
    First, enter the 8-digit PUK code, then press OK/Yes.
    Note: Some Motorola phone users will need to enter *05 if "enter PUK" is not already displayed. After entering *05, then enter the 8-digit PUK code and press OK.
    Select a new PIN code, then press OK/Yes.
    Re-enter the PIN code, then press OK/Yes.
    If the codes were entered successfully, the phone is ready for use.
    Important: If the incorrect PUK (Pin Unlock Key) code is entered 10 times in a row, the SIM card will become permanently locked, and you must purchase a new SIM card. If your device is requesting PUK 2 please call Customer Care at 1-800-331-0500.
    Good Luck with it.

  • Rezound. Locked SIM, need PUK?

    I'm not very good with electronics, and when I was messing around with settings I ended up locking my phone. Pretty embarressing but I thought it was asking me what I'd like to set as the password for my sim card, figured it was optional for security and I didn't know I had one to begin with Got it wrong a couple times, and found myself with a locked phone. It's asking me for my 8 didget PUK code and I'm not really sure what that is and where to find it. I'd appreciate help if possible, otherwise I'll try to get over to the Verizon store soon. Thanks!

    Well, when I did this, I got the PUK code from the My Verizon website.

  • IPad (3rd Gen) activation server unavailable

    Morning all,
    used my iPad 3rd Gen 3G (running iOS 6 GM Seed) happily yesterday night, loaded the battery overnight, and now, on 01 Oct 06:00 AM GMT i have it locked down, saying it needs activation. Proceeding through the mandatory steps ends up with a "activation servers unavailable" message (internet connectivity is fine). I retried it now for about an hour. The iPad is now unusable , rebooted it / hooked up to my Mac / iTunes etc  - won't help.
    Anyone else seeing this?
    thanks

  • My Ipad 3rd Gen isn't being recognized by my computer...

    My Ipad 3rd Gen isn't being recognized by my computer / (doesn't show up in itunes)...
    I have tried to use it with the following:
    Windows 8 64
    Windows 7 64
    Windows 7 32
    Mac OS (newest)
    All tried with Itunes 10.7.
    I bought it about 3 weeks ago and activated it through WiFi.
    It has never been recognized on any computer I have tired it with.
    I also tried to connect in DFU mode(didnt work)
    Do I have a defective Ipad?

    make sure you have itunes installed on that computer. itunes comes with the essential ios drivers which are needed in order for your computer to recognize your iphone.

  • No Handoff on iPad 3rd Gen.

    Updated my iPad 3rd gen to 8.1 and trying to use the new  continuity feature,but I realized that in settings / general under spotlight search that Handoff and suggested apps aren't even their. I was almost certain that handoff worked with iPad 3? so now I can't even turn the feature on because theirs no button! Anyone else with this problem?

    I'm a little disappointed in IOS 8. Most of the new features I don't need or have turned off. On the positive side, I like request desktop site in Safari, speak screen and highlight content in accessibility, swipe to hide in the App Store, exposure in Camera and don't forget "Hey Siri." 

  • Unable to use iCloud Backup on iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1

    Hi, I have been unable to use iCloud Backup for several weeks on both my iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1 &amp; my iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
    iCloud Backup is set to On on both devices. It did backup once or twice, since I installed the iOS 6.0.1, then it stopped working altogether.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I know. In my post I said ....
    "remove the all day event or change the event from all day - in whatever application on your computer that you sync the calendar from and them sync again to remove the event from the iPad calendar."
    You will need to do this from your computer. If you do not use your computer to sync with iTunes, you will not be able to get around this.
    However, I should have asked of this only happens when you are trying to view events in March, so maybe I misled you. I apologize. Try this now. Quit the calendar app completely in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can Apple offer cheap upgrade plans to people who bought iPad 3rd Gen within 3 months to upgrade their device to the 4th gen?!

    I decided to get iPad 3rd gen because my iPad 2 wasn't working so well after using it for 1+ year and I really need iPads for work. I got it not more than 2 months ago. I felt being cheated. Although Apple didn't promise the one year thing, but 7 months is just too ridiculous. .
    I know it is impossible to ask Apple to replace our 3rd gen with 4th gen, but if they offer some upgrade plans, I would be more comfortable with this. If so, I hope that they wouldn't charge more than USD $150 to upgrade.
    Trading in old devices is important to me because I have no income as a student but I just have to get newer devices to make sure they have a higher performance. Dissolving the iPad 3rd gen is not a good idea since the resell value will decrease instantly.
    Other than that, my iPad is a bit laggy comparing to what I felt when it was on iOS 5, they shouldn't make a new device to solve this problem, they should improve their software
    In the incident, Apple is just being irresponsible to long term supporters like me, I hope that they will provide us satisfying solutions.
    (My English might not be perfect because my native language is Chinese, hope you guys know what I mean)

    You can check macrumors, there were rumors and they were pretty much squashed the begininng of October, so waiting a month, sure. Usually mac is transpereant enough that its knwn 3-4 months ahead of time that a refresh is coming, I site the release of th Ipad 2 gen i was getting for my daughter, we waited until her bday and got it in March at launch. Not this time. This was a curve ball, ezpecially 4 months ago when I bought mine. I have called Apple everyday, wil call again today to vent frustration, and I am noticing some slowed response on my ipad 3 and would assume why the fast refresh, i have been asking for a path to upgrade for $100 with a well tken care of ipad 3, under apple care etc. Don't know if I will get it, but wont get it for sure if I dont ask. I already was issued a $100 credit on another purchase, which I may be using soon.

  • What resolution should photos be to be uploaded to iPad (3rd gen)

    What resolution should My photos be to upload to iPad (3rd gen)?

    Use whatever resolution you have, iTunes will convert (to lower) if needed, when i tadds them to the iPad.

  • Would you buy a 64gb iPad 3rd Gen or an iPad Mini 16 gb if you could purchase either for $320?  Thank you

    Would you buy a 64gb iPad 3rd Gen or an iPad Mini 16 gb if you could purchase either for $320?  Thank you

    I know your question has been answered by Demo and agree. And I agree that I would stay away from the ipad 3 that was discontinued after only months on the market.
    That said, I'm not sure where you were getting an ipad 3 for that cost - a friend, a store, an official reseller? I would be very careful of that.
    If you decide to buy a used ipad or even a new 16 gb mini, I strongly suggest you only buy it through Apple's online only certified refurbished store. They come and go as they are refurbished by Apple, so if you see what you want, buy it. An ipad mini 32 gb is now $339 in the refurb store. That's only $20.00 more than you're willing to pay.
    Personally, I'd go for the regular sized ipad with more space, but I would pay more if necessary and only buy it at the Apple online refurb store. If you buy an outside ipad, you usually only get the rest of the warranty if any time is still on it. Some resellers do not give any warranty. You might not know if it's been dropped and is working now but might quit soon, etc. You could end up with a demo version from a store, the battery could be on its way out, etc. There have been such stories on here.
    Each refurbished ipad and mini comes with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty , including 90 days of phone support. It will come in the white box with the charger just as a new one does, with free and fast shipping.
    We have had two 64 gb refurbed ipad 2's from the Apple store for almost a year and a half. They have been great! 
    (As others have and almost always suggest, get as much space as you can because you cannot increase that. Many end up wanting to do more than they planned as they learn about new apps and all they can do with their ipad. Also, updating apps also will take up more space.)
    And you don't get 16gb or 32 gb, etc. Some space is used to run the ios and apps that come with the ipad that are not removable.
    Oh. I needed to add that through the refurb store, you'll get it with ios 6 still installed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Multiple apps closing on iPhone 4s, but working on iPad 3rd gen

    It was just this morning when I realized that I cannot play Diamond Dash on my device, I closed the app and tried to open it again, but still it closed on me. So, I deleted the app, and reinstalled it on my iPhone via the iTunes store, but the problem persists. Lastly, I did a reset (power button + home button for 10 secs) and it's still the same.
    I have also added 15 more apps today, and 6 of them are closing on me, (plus Diamond Dash) which were all working on my iPad 3rd gen :( what am I missing here, please help xs

    In addition, my 4s has a greyed out wifi (thanks to the update) that is why I use my iPad to download large files from the app store. I just sync both devices on iTunes so that I can transfer purchases. I thought by doing this might have caused the issue, but earlier I did try downloading 2 free apps using data, one worked and the other closed on me.
    I really need an advise as we don't have any legit service centers around. pretty please *beautiful eyes*

  • IPad 3rd. gen blinking screen

    One week ago, I was using ipad 3rd. gen model A1430 and the screen started blinking and suddenly became black.
    I turned off and reseted the device.
    But since then, it keeps doing the same thing, and sometimes it takes me a long time to turn on.
    Any thought?
    I don't have Applecare protection.
    One more question: Would Apple accept this iPad as part of payment for a new one?
    Thank you
    Joao Ferreira

    Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data You may need to do this more than once. Bsydd uk

  • IPad 3rd gen will not update apps

    App Store on iPad 3rd gen shows several apps needing updating.  Updating requests P/W for Apple ID and then states that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store.  I am connected to the store.  I can also download new apps.  Any idea on how to fix the problem.  Thanks!

    We owned all the apps and used them on an iphone 4s.  They were added to the new iPad.  About 8 apps showed updates, and the "can't connect" warning showed.  The same Apple ID applies to all the apps on both devices.

  • IPad 3rd Gen charging woes

    I have an iPad (3rd gen) 64GB (WIFI +4G) and been having following prob from day 1.
    When I plug my new iPad into power to charge it, because it's getting low on battery, I continue to use while it's charging. I notice that the battery percentage indicator keeps dropping instead of slowly rising like my iPad 2 did. The battery keeps dropping while plugged into power until it powers off completely. This is crazy.
    I could use my ipad2 indefinitely if it was plugged into power. Now, I can't use my new iPad with it plugged in before it runs out of power!
    When I leave it overnight to charge, I have noticed that it stops charging by itself around 70 or 50%. Shows not charging when I pick it up in the morning.
    Iam an ardent user of apple products and am disappointed by these charging woes. Maybe u guys need to provide us with a higher capacity charger than the 10W one.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
