Ipad air showing "no sim" card

My ipad air is showinf "no sim".  It did this once before.  I turned it off and on and was fine.  This time the problem persists.  Any solutions?

Try a Hard Restart first: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes dark and a white Apple logo pops up, release buttons and allow to restart.
Else power down (hold Sleep till red slider appears, slide to right), take SIM out, clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol, reinsert.

  • Ipad Air isnt detecting Sim Card

    7/1/14
    Yesterday my Ipad Air was detecting the sim card and today I turned it on and on the lock screen it said "Sim Card not installed" even though there is a Sim Card inside it
    How do I make it so it detects the sim card?

    On the top left hand corner of the ipad it still says "No Sim''

  • I purchased n iPad Air without the SIM card possibility...I am going to exchange it.  Which SIM card or company should I use as a carrier?  Only using for travel.

    I purchased the iPad Air without SIM card capability.   Only time I would use this is when we travel 4 weeks per year.   Is it worth returning while I still can gan get that capability...if so which company is the most flexible?

    Some carriers will allow you to start up and use a plan for a month and then either have the plan go dormant or be deleted. Each carrier may have their own rules about this.
    The first thing to consider in selecting a carrier is to determine how good the coverage is in the area you will use it most. Then look to the details of the various plans.

  • Ipad3 shows no sim card installed.

    older iPad 3. iOS 7.1.2 shows no sim card installed.  How do you remedy this problem?

    Are you sure it isn't the Wi-Fi only model? If it does have cellular then you need a cellular account and a SIM from that provider.

  • My ipad2 shows "no SIM card installed", I have resorted the factory settings but in vain.  May someone help?

    My iPad cannot recognise any SIM card inserted.  It shows "No SIM card installed".  I tried restored itnbut still go the same error message.  Who could hlelp

    Sounds like the spacer could help.  The chance of having broken connector is slim as the problem is gone with rising temperature.  If it is the case with temperature, why i could not see the same problem with other iPad users from cooler regions?  Room temp around15c should be a very normal working temperature, right?

    You could try removing the sim card and cleaning it - then put it back.
    I assume that there is supposed to be a sim card in your model of iPhone 5 ?

  • How long it takes to repair an Apple iPad with the error "sim card not detected". The ipad is in Apple since 19 January and still has the status "Repair in Progress".

    There is no way any fellow user here can know anything specific about your repair status.  You will need to call Apple and ask them yourself.

  • I can barely hear callers, bars frequently X-ed out, showing no Sim card

    Just recently I can barely hear the caller on my Droid DNA.  I have not damaged my phone in any way.  Also it starts showing no SIM card.  I will restart and then that will fix itself but the volume for the caller barely exists.  My volume is turned up.  I have no problem hearing ring tones, etc and people can hear me.  Also my bars will sometimes just x out and I have to reboot again.  I am sick of not being able to hear my callers. Help!!!!

    A few things to try:
    Remove the SIM and reseat it, then restart the phone.
    Go to a Verizon store and have them replace the SIM with a new one (it's free)
    Try a system cache clear (instructions below)
    Set your preferred Network mode to LTE/CDMA
    System cache clear:
    Power down phone
    Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
    Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
    Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
    Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
    Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
    Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

    how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
    Please help out to solve this problem.
    It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are carrier locked. The Japanese carriers do not offer unlocking.
    You can not use that phone on a carrier other than the one it is locked to.
    Sell it and buy one you can use.

  • Ipad 2 has no sim card tray!

    i don't see sim card tray in ipad 2 model A1397.
    can apple replace it?  i bought it on apple online store!
    may i ask for replace online? there isn't any retail stores around

    Verizon iPads don't have SIM card trays because they are CDMA devices, not GSM. As to whether you can exchange it, you'll need to discuss that with the place you purchased it.

  • HT1349 Where do I go on the iPad to activate the sim card?

    Where do I go on the iPad to activate the sim card?

    The SIM card should already be activated.  To turn-on cellular data, go to Settings-->Cellular Data and turn it on.  Once its on you can sign up for a monthly data plan on the same screen.
    If you are getting a SIM error about it not being active, or it just won't turn on,  you'll need to call your carrier (ATT or Verizon).
