Ipad Air 2 cellular/Wifi - With new sim card installed keeps on saying NO SIM
I got new ipad air 2 - installed Carrier sim card, Ipad keeps on saying no sim found "NO SIM"
On call with Apple technicians this problem was resolved by resetting the network settings, but today again its showing NO SIM
Has anyone else encountered this problem
Chiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there.

Can I exchange my brand new not open iPad 16 GB wifi with new IPhone
Hi can I exchange iPad with iPhone
Do you have or can you get the original receipt and was it bought at an Apple store? If either is the case, as Phil 0124 pointed out and because it's within the return time, by all means return it and get a credit.
Wait until the new phones go on sale and then buy it. If you go for the less expensive iphone 5c, you might also use the credit (if it was directly bought at Apple,) and replace the ipad 2 you won with an ipad 2 from the Apple online refurb store at a greatly reduced price. And then you'll have both. Also, as an aside, if you already have an older iphone, Apple is supposedly giving very good discounts as you can trade it in and get your iphone at a reduced price.
Most importantly, return that ipad asap in person and if you can't, make sure it's postmarked by (or before the 12th.)
Hope this helps. -
Bios freezes on Hp IPISB-CH2 with new graphic card installed
I own HP Pavilion Elite HPE H8 1010cs. Motherboard is HP IPISB-CH2. I bought new graphic card GAINWARD Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB together with 600W PSU Corsair CX600M. First I tried my new PSU with my old GPU nvidia 550Ti. It worked perfectly. But when I replaced old card with new GTX 970, bios freezes on the first power on window. Escape does not work. Should I return new graphic card, or is there still some hope in this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello @Tomas83,
I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1010cs Desktop PC towork with your Gainward GeForce® GTX 970 Phantom 4GB Graphics Card. I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is the the break in the downward compatibility on the PCIe slots was broken at around the Gen 2.1 mark and you are trying to put a Gen 3.0 card in a Gen 1.0 slot. This in essence makes your computer incompatible with the graphics card you have chosen to use. I am providing you an article on the overclock.net website titled The final answer to the controversial PCIe x16 version compatibility., where the author explains what I described and goes into how he made the determination. I would advise you review the article if you have any questions concerning the issue you are facing.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?
Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?
Still looking for help with this issue, if anyone can help with some information.
Like I said, I'm not a techno-idiot, I'm actually pretty savvy, but this really isn't my area of expertise, so I really really would appreciate some wiser minds than mine looking at this and giving me some information.
Additional information that may help: when I go to Settings > Cellular Data > View Account > ,I get a system error message; it won't let me contact to my account and gives me a number. I assume I'll have to contact Verizon regarding my account, but I'm still wondering about the LTE sim question vs just a "regular" cellular signal.
Does it even make sense what I'm asking or am I just being a complete and total idiot?
Thanks again in advance for any clarifying information.

No sim error on my iPad with SIM card installed
My iPad has a new SIM card in it but gives a no sim error message, help!
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. -
bought my mom a new iPad Air 32GB WiFi model via eBay and got it yesterday. It worked all fine and I even updated it to the latest iOS version. It worked all fine for the next few hours until I tried to have a facetime call using my iPad Air. Somehow within few seconds after the call being initialized, my moms iPad got switched off. I tried almost all the solutions I found via Apple community, google and other sites. None of them worked. ( Restore, Recovery, DFU Mode, Pressing Home and ON/OFF switch etc ) Somehow I managed to connect the iPad to itunes and when i press the restore button, I get error 4005 after 5 - 10 mins appearing 'waiting for iPad' message. I am in Sri Lanka and I have no Apple Stores here, or authorized service providers. since this isn't a fault of the ebay seller, cannot return it too. Please help me!
Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your time and trying to help me on this issue. I really appreciate it.
I went through those steps more than few time since yesterday ( saw you had posted this solution on a similar issue by another user )
still no luck. Now I cannot exit from DFU mode, or either restore it due to 4005 error. ( since its a new iPad, i only had few apps installed. so not going to loose much data as well ). I also try to exit DFU mode by using few third party apps such as Wondershare Dr.Fone, Phone Rescue, ReiBoot, RecBoot. Only wondershare Dr.Fone app showed me a screen with a message saying the iOS device is 'not in normale mode, press home + off/on button to switch to normal mode, which never worked either.
Really appreciate your help but I am open for more solutions other than Restore, Recovery Mode, DFU mode or any method to overcome error 4005. I would also like to know are there any softwares to diagnose the iPad Air to detect whats wrong with it. so that I can be sure if it is a hardware failure or firmware issue.
Thanks in advance,

iPad Air comes equipped with an Apple SIM. Apple SIMs do not recognize Verizon (only ATT, T-Mobile, and Sprint). Does Apple sell Verizon SIMS or do I have to purchase a new SIM directly from Verizon?
I guess I'll be returning to the Apple store to ask for a Verizon SIM because they did not give it to me when I purchased the iPad Air2 (I told them I had a Verizon data plan). Thanks.

I have been using my iPad with sim for weeks now, just 24 hrs ago the message I am having is no SIM card installed, I tried it with some other SIM card same same still pop up. What can I do pls
ok, I did, and it said again congrats your iPhone is unlocked, but, when it said there was a new carrier update, I cancelled it, but, it asked me again, I cancelled again, I guess I'm scared it will lock it again if I allow the carrier update.
Oh, there it goes again, this time on the phone, arg. I hit update, I hope it doesn't freak out.
I'm glad I didn't destroy the SIM like I almost did. But, it will come out again, longer battery life with the cell portion turned off. -

Sorry... You cannot.
Note: FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
Check your device's region of purchase for more information. -
Bonsoir, peut on utiliser la meme carte sim de l'iphone 5 dans l'ipad air cellular ?
bonsoir, peut on utiliser la meme carte sim de l'iphone 5 dans l'ipad air cellular ?
À priori cela viendrait d'un problème de localisation
Les format américains différent de ceux européen et Apple n'a pas inclus l'impression au format A4 du coup il doit y avoir une conversion qui est faite par l'imprimante
En changeant la loc réglages--> général--> international
Changer le format régional en anglais états unis et l'impression sera plus rapide (mais pas ajusté exactement au format A4)

A laryngectomy has left me unable to speak over my cell. I still need to communicate via text and would like to use one device. I have an Ipad Air 2 WiFi + Cellular that I use to write messages on and would like to know if adding the ap Talkatone and using my cell number will allow me to use my Ipad as my one communication device and not have to carry my phone any more.
hedrickwireless1,
I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your voice. I know how important it is still be able to communicate. I apologize as the application Talkatone is a third party application we would not be able to provide details into how the application functions. Please reach out to the app developer for details regarding the application. You can access the developer information under the application details in iTunes.

Can I Connect to 4G And LTE with my WIFI IPAD AIR when WIFI is NOT Available? If so, HOW?
If you wish to do this you can use the WiFi hotspot from an iPhone or other phone with this capability.
You can also get a dedicated WiFi hotspot device like MiFi. See here: http://www.novatelwireless.com/products/mobile-broadband-solutions/mifi-intellig ent-mobile-hotspots/ -

Why does my iPad say No SIM card installed?
When I plugged in my ipad to charge a message came up that said: No SIM card installed. Is this OK?
Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one). If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model. If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below.
If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears. If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.
