Ipad sim tray not closing

After inserting a new SIM card into my new IPad 4 I can't close the slot completely. It seems to be jammed. Can I get any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Well, you will just have to keep trying to physically remove it, then. Try pushing with a pin then using a very thin blade to pry it out.

  • Broke a pen's nib in my ipad sim tray opener hole, now I can not close it fully, what can I do?

    I lost my sim opener pin. So I was trying to open my iPad 4 sim with a pen. But the pen's nib broke inside the hole. Now my sim tray is not closing . 

    Remove the SIM try and try and shake the pen nib out.
    You may need a sharp pointed tweezer to help remove nib.

    wat should i do?please help me.i bought it on 2nd june 2012.i dont want to break it

    Sounds like the SIM was not cut properly.... likely not much that can be done short of opening the device if the SIM tray will not eject.

  • Sim tray not opening

    Hi, i bought Iphone 4 from carrier and I found the sim tray can't get out

    can apple help me to replace it from Carrier ?

    My guess is that you didn't read http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Page 20 tells you how you should have removed the SIM tray. By not following these instructions you may have damaged it.

  • 3GS sim tray not openning, what to do

    3GS sim tray is not opening, what to do.

    Yeah, I have to agree with RoamingGnome...this sounds like more of a Jailbreak issue, not an Apple issue.  If you bought this phone from a legal distributor and just haven't upgraded your iOS since 3.1.2, I'd contact the place where you purchased it.  If you Jailbroke or bought it Jailbroken to get it Unlocked to use with any carrier, my best solution would be to search the net.  I'm pretty sure there is a current Jailbreak for up to iOS 5.1.1, but I'm not really up to date with that information.  I do know that you can legally now purchase a factory unlock from Apple, but I'm not sure if that's only with new purchases or if you can buy an Unlock for an older phone.
    My best solution would be to search your phone revision & iOS online and you should get what you're looking for.  Sometimes you can even just search YouTube and they'll have a step-by-step video showing you exactly how to do whatever you might need to get up & running again.
    It's pretty rough being without a cellphone, especially if it's your only communication device.  Hopefully this at least pointed you in the proper direction.

  • My ipad mini is not closing the apps, why does the x to close dont appear?

    I used to. Close the app on my mini ipad by seen the menu on all open apps press one until the x came and started pressing x to close as many as i needed. Since i upgraded the ios the x does not show, and believe me i had tried plenty of times..... Whats happening?

    Force close apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • CD Tray not closing.

    I recently bought a digital camera and would like to load the software from that digital camera to my computer, ( and yes it is compatible with a Mac). The problem is when I load the cd onto the cd tray the tray will close and stay close for a few seconds and then it will just open up and spit the cd back out. The cd while inside the computer will not even spin. I tried with a couple of other cd's and it was the same thing, spitting th cd back out. what is causing my headache?

    Ok two different issues here. So let's look at each in turn.
    First the CD drive. Does the drive work with other CDs and only does this weird behavior with this particular one? Or does it not spin and spits out all CDs put in it? Have you tried this CD on another computer (Mac or Windows) to see if it can be read at all? Is this an original manufacturer's "pressed" CD or is this a CDR burned version?
    As to the camera, does it have a USB port on it? If so, have you tried simply plugging into the eMac? If the camera conforms to the mass storage protocol, you do not need to install any software to get photos off of it. Your eMac has a couple ways to read the photos and should ask you which to use when you plug the camera in. One way is through iPhoto. The other way is through the image capture program (I forget what it is called) which is the one I prefer (I am not a big iPhoto fan so don't use it much).

  • Ipad 2 is not that old, you wont let us have tethering?

    Is it really that hard to give us function to share internet or just tethering with usb? even iphone4 support personal hotspot, ipad 2 who share same cpu would able to do it fine but you want us to buy THE NEW IPAD that badly? i even use ipad2 about a year.
    For my iphone only have small data plan just for playing whatsapp or communication app, the one that need tethering now is ipad. It got the most data plan.
    And now when i want to use laptop i have to take ipad sim out and stick it to iphone just for kicks and cannot receive any call during internet use, this *****. My ipad sim tray gonna loose.
    Okay, still there is an option. Buy THE NEW IPAD for personal hotspot!!
    Yeah, hope iOS6 support it for ipad2 (just usb mode is ok) else I better use 3rd Party app like MyWi instead of throwing this ipad2 even i hate the idea of JB but Apple left us no other choice.

    Even i leave feedback they will never mention, I have try it before then there is nothing even confirmation email that feedback is received.
    If there are a lot of people asking for it, Maybe.
    I don't know why, they know people have to JB for this function (MyWi) and they still not impliment it. Thus they say don't like people to JB.
    They don't want people to JB then if it not that hard thing to do, just do it.

  • Can I have a replacement for my Nano SIM tray of iPad Mini?

    Hello, I just lost my nano sim tray of ipad mini 16GB white at a network carrier store. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement? I purchased the ipad in Singapore but I live in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Do I have to write to Apple in Singapore or US to ask for help? I am willing to pay for the replacement as long as I can get one for my iPad. i am afraid that Apple store in Ho Chi Minh would not help me for this stuff. Thanks much for your advices!

  • Why I can't insert the eject tool into my ipad 4's sim tray

    Hey every one.
    I have an iPad 4 wi-fi cellular
    I want to ejec it's SIM tray but I can't push the eject tool into that tiny hole.It seems like there is no space for it.It just goes straight down and I can't insert it in a 45 degrees angle.
    Someone plz heeelllpppp!
    (Sorry English is not my native language :) )

    Give it a little push. If the tray still doesn't open I'd stop by the Apple Store and let them have a look.

  • Does a iPad 2 have a SIM tray?

    I want to buy a iPad 2 but i want to know if the iPad 2 has a sim tray. Some people say only specific models has a SIM tray. So, my question is, do all iPad 2's have a SIM tray?

    No. all do not. Only the 3G/Wifi AT&T versions do
    You have 6 9versions of iPads (12 18 if you count the black and white color difference)

  • My brother purchased new ipad 4, 5 days ago and the sim tray stuck very first day. I gave it to jaipur service centre for repair and they are asking for 20000 Rs (price of ipad mini for just sim tray repair). What should i do?

    Dear All,
    My brother just purchased an ipad4, 5 days ago and the very first day sim tray stuck. When i sent it to jaipur (rajasthan) service centre, they asked Rs 20,000 for repair and issuing new tray. This is the cost of new ipad mini, and they are giving me just one tray. It is also approx. half of the price of new ipad4. Even the new ipad is just 5 days old and should be repaired for free. If not free, is Rs 20,000 is fair?
    Please tell me what should i do?
    Thanks!
    [email protected]

    If the service center determined that the SIM socket was damaged by your brother, as would appear to be the case, and not due to a factory defect, they will charge for replacing the entire iPad, not just for the SIM tray. Apple at this time replaces the iPad for just about any problem, and charges a flat fee for doing so.
    If this service center is one authorized by Apple, your brother can try calling Apple Support India at (91) 1800 4250 744 and discussing the situation with them. Ultimately, though, it is the technician's judgement as to what caused the problem, and Apple will usually take the word of the technician when it comes to determination of user-caused damage.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Blackberry Passport sim tray issue is prevalent and they will not fix it for you because it is your fault. Ridiculous.

     I bought my Blackberry passport on Feb 13rd. Right out of the box the sim tray didn't read the sim. I thought it is my sim's problem, so I waited for another sim. New sim came in, still didn't read. After a long call with customer support and BB virtual support, I had my device sent in around mid March. They checked it and said I damaged the sim tray and I need to pay 268$ to have it fixed. I though it is ridiculous since I haven't done anything to the phone. So I argued with them and eventually they agreed to have my fixed without cost.
     However when they sent me back the device, I poped in the sim and it only works for 1 day, on and off the second day and then not reading the sim at all after that. I think the sim tray's problem with the passport is prevalent and the pin can be broken by the simple act of poping in the sim card. My ATT sim is working perfectly fine on the 5s and my brother's iphone 6.
     After 2 days of receiving the "repaired" device, I call them again and this time they said it is certainly my fault and if I send it in again, I will have to pay 268$ to have it fixed.
     So I thought for people out ther if you have a passport, don't pop in and out the sim card. It can really easily be broken.
      For me, I think now I just gonna use my "broken sim tray new passport" as a reading device. After 10 years, I will officially switch to other brand. Still love the keyboard though, but anyway.

    Check that your sim card does not have a burr or edge on it before you insert it, as that may be what's damaging the SIM pins.
    Site anly allow linlks to web images, so here's what the tray is supposed to look like - with the SIM cover on.
    FWIW - a T3 torx driver is required to remove the screws around the SIM  and TF card tray cover. That would allow you to look at the underlying pins - and possibly - with a bit of luck, fix them on your own.
