ITunes not recognizing my sim card after iPhone update
Hi,
So I just updated my iPhone software to the iOS 4 version on my 3G and connected it to itunes. Everything got backed up fine but when connecting to the itunes store, it says that my sim card is not supported.
I've tried turning it off and switching it back on, but nothing seems to work.
If anyone can help me in this, it would be awesome!
Thanks!
Are thses actual microSIMs or regular SIMs that have been cut down?
IF they have been cut down, it's possible they were not cut properly and are not making contact resulting in marginal performance.
If they are microSIMs then it's possible the iPhone is experiencing a hardware issue.

iPhones require a SIM card for activation. The SIM does not need to be active, but it must be for the carrier the device is locked to.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch. -
ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard
After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.

My Iphone is not recognizing my SIM card...I've tried two cards but no luck...please help...
I tried putting two SIM cards in my iphone. It intially recognizes it, but it can't text, 1 out of 5 call attempts are successful. The rest is all good, but it's not like a phone anymore..

My ipad is not recognizing my sim card
my Ipad 2 is about 2 years old, i have downloaded IOS 7
and now i keep getting a message that i have no sim card ... i am travelling and require my 3G when not in wifi areas
anyone else had this problem ?? is it related to the IOS 7 ??
thanks ...
i have tried to reinsert the sim card ,,,,, but have no paper clip !!!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. -

Unable to read SIM card after latest update
I downloaded the most recent android update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on 12/10. Since that update, i've gotten the message "Unable to read the SIM card. Please restart your phone to read the card" a half-dozen times. The timing between the messages is sparatic (one time it was a few hours between messages, another time a full day, then 12 hours the third time, etc...).
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a simple fix to this (such as just getting a new SIM card from Verizon)? I'd like to think that the update wasn't the culprit of this, but I've had my Note 4 since the initial release, and it's only started happening since the last update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!I'm having the same "Unable to read the SIM card" issue. My phone is less than two months old, the unable to read SIM card issue started about a week after I purchased the phone. That was followed by a host of erratic, sporadic issues to the phone becomes unusable and the only way to temporarily fix it is to remove the battery for a few seconds. I've gone through the factory reset with Verizon reps where I purchased the phone from as well as with a Verizon online Chat representative. In a nutshell, I got a ticket to send the phone back to Samsung in Plano, Texas to get the phone fixed, I am going to do that today because this problem is ridiculous.

Droid DNA - No SIM card after OTA update
I took the OTA update for the DNA today. Now my phone says it doesn't have a SIM card. Reboot does not solve the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
Why can't Verizon properly test updates before unleashing them on its customers?I have had the 'No SIM Card' issue before and after the software update, and am beginning to wonder if it's a hardware issue. Last night, I did not have a connection for nearly twenty minutes, and during that time I rebooted (quick power off as well as closing all apps) and turned airplane mode on/off about 20 times. I've had the No SiM card issue for about 3-4 weeks in varying occurrences. I've taken very good care of my phone, haven't dropped it, and haven't done anything to damage it, so I don't know what Verizon is going to do about this, but it's holding me back from updating my data plan and buying expensive accessories like the wireless charger.
Furthermore, if an emergency situation were to happen while this problem were occurring, I will absolutely hold Verizon responsible for any damages or injury caused by the inability to communicate through 911, etc. -

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as restarting the computer, trying different USB ports. it works when I connect it to other computers.Hi HIJKay,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can take if iTunes isn't correctly recognizing your iPod:

After upgrading my iphone4 to iso5 the phone didn't recognize my sim card to activate it please what can i do t get it back to work. its factory unlocked. don't know why its not recognizing the sim card after upgrade
Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the track there to be downloaded. If not, and you're in the US, just look under the Quick Links on the main iTunes Store page for the Purchased link. Click that and you should be able to find and re-download the track.
If it's not there, or you're not in the US, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their contact page and explain the problem to them.
Regards. -
i have updated my iphone to ios 6.0.1 but it is not activating so please could you help me out....while inserting in itunes it showing no sim card inserted
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.
