Microsim card tray stuck inside Ipad 2 3g

My microsim card tray is stuck inside(with a normal sim cut to a microsim, its working and i have the 3g, but the subscribtion is about to end next month) and i cannot remove it. i think the card is catching with its corner as i try to remove it. I am using the tool apple supplies in the box.
Any advices?
I'm desperate.

So basically I took it to the Apple Care Centre - After the initial investigation since there were no physical damages apple replaced the entire iPad.
Somethings to make sure before you take it to the apple care - No Physical Damages should be there at all on the iPad else it voids the warranty and hence you need to pay upfront to get it replaced under one of apples replacement programmes - around 24-25,000 INR
If all is good and you request the apple care peple to take up the case properly you'll be brining in a new iPad of course.
Hope this help!
PS - for out of warranty iPad's this wont work. I think paying upfront will of course do - always adisable to take up additional warranty for apple products you own - it does help in the long run.

I can not open the microsim card slot and my ipad is brand new!

When i try to opne the microsim card slot to introduce the sim card nothing happpens. Can somebody tell where and how I introduce the microsim card in my ipad?

The trick is pushing the SIM eject tool in a 45 degree angle as was also the case with the iPad 2, as opposed to the iPad 1 (and all iPhones). Pushing it in a 90 degree angle won't open the tray, unlike in the listed models.

SIM CARD TRAY BROKEN INSIDE IPHONE

Ok, here's the problem, I took out my sim card tray to try a new sim. However I managed to put the tray back in the wrong way. I managed to get the tray back out about a third of the way and remove the sim but then the tray broke. My phone is no longer under warranty so should I just remove the back casing and get the broken tray out or send it off for repair? I watched a few videos on youtube so getting the back off doesnt seem a problem I just don't want to damage any electronics inside. (WHY BUILD A SIM TRAY SO FLIMSY IN THE FIRST PLACE???)
Any help much appreciated. I live in the UK so how much would a repair like this cost?

You could try making an appointment at an Apple store, the geniuses have tools to get the sim try out without damage...I know you're out of warranty, but if you're nice, you never know, they just might do it for you. Otherwise, google third party repair services in your area...unless you're skilled at working with micro electronics don't mess with it yourself.

Sim card tray stuck in iPhone 3G? (pics)

My current phone is a CDMA phone and I needed a GSM phone for my high school trip to France, so my father brought a cheap iPhone 3G on eBay that seemed to be in very good condition. Today the international sim card he brought came in the mail, and I'm having trouble getting the sim card tray out of this phone.
I tried using a stripped down pipe cleaner to open the sim card tray at the top, which appeared to work just fine at first.
When you push the pipe cleaner into the tiny hole, the tray only pops out this far, at the most.
After a little bit of tugging, I can get it out just a tiny bit further. This part makes me nervous, though. When I pull it this far, I hear a weird grinding sound, like two milk carton caps being rubbed together. I try not to put too much force on it after this point in fear of snapping the tray in half.
NOW I CAN LITERALLY HOLD UP THE ENTIRE PHONE JUST BY HOLDING THE TOP OF THE SIM CARD TRAY. If the rest of the iPhone was built like this stupid sim card tray, I think the tech repair industry would go out of business :/
Since I just brought a cheap phone on eBay, I doubt it's still under warranty. I usually have nothing to do with Apple, so I don't know what their repair service is like, but I do know that: 1)I don't have $300 to spend on repairing a $50 phone. and 2)There's no Apple stores within 100 miles of me (although there is a tech repair shop nearby, I never went there before and don't know what they do)
Is there anything I can do by myself to get that tray out? I really don't feel like wasting more money, but I'm very frustrated right now. I just really desperately want to get the phone working before the trip in two weeks.

Sorry for being a bother, but now it looks like taking it to a third party shop is my only option.
My mother heard me complaining about the phone and decided to "fix" it herself. Long story short, she snapped the tray in half and now I have half a tray in my hand and the other half stuck in the phone.
I'll see if I can coax the rest out with a pipe cleaner, as the rest of the phone seems to still be just fine. For now I'll just wait for my father to come home while I avoid eye contact with my mother for the rest of the day.
And thanks for the bit about sim card itself, but I think that much is covered already. Unlike my mother, my father knows how phones work so I don't believe the sim card would be too difficult for him once we replace the tray

Notes stuck inside iPad - should sync with Gmail

I have been blithely taking notes on my iPad thinking they were syncing with Gmail, however, although the notes sync in the gmail account had been enabled, nothing has syncronized since March. Fortunately, I at least have a back up of the notes within the backup of the entire system.
So, I just noticed I have a problem because I just bought a macbook and iphone and want to syncronize across all three platforms. I should note that adding notes in icloud does syncronize. However, unlucky me, I had my notes in Gmail because the iOs configuration template led me to believe this was a viable option, and by the way, I seem to believe I have been doing this longer than iCloud existed.
So, here are my problems with notes:
1. This one is a nuisance but not a real problem: When I turn off the notes feature in the gmail account settings in the accounts template (the one that has the gmail logo on it) - all my notes disappear on the ipad. I was told that this is because the ipad believe this is syncronizing. HOWEVER, it is not, so Apple should have a warning prompt just like they do in their own icloud settings, presumably for their own icloud they believe it is synchronizing - so why a warning for one but not the other. If I knew they would be removed from the device when I turned the notes off, I wouldnt have done this.
NB: I had the same gmail account which was intended but failing to synch with notes correctly configured and doing all the good things it should when configured through the exchange template in Mail Accounts.
2. The real problem: After 5 hours with tech support and on hold -- I know, surreal -- the senior advisor told me to email the notes to myself, and that there was nothing else to do. I'm posting in the hope that there is something else to do, i would like to think I can migrate the notes ostensibly from gmail, but really only on my ipad to icloud or something. I have enough notes that this is reasonably annoying to accomplish one by one.

I fell your pain and no thereis no good solution to this nasty issue. However you can view your Outlooknotes on your iOS devices but I had to do a sync via PC iTunes and sync cable to each device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) not a very good solution (no support for OTA iCloud sync, LAME!). Then when the Outlook notes arrive on my iOS device in the Notes app its under a separatefolder "From My PC". All notes generated on your iOS devices are in the folder [email protected] or iCloud folder. Further more if you go to your iCloud webpage you will only see the notes you generated from your iOS devices (if youhave Notes sync turned on) and you can't edit them nor can you create new notes from the iCloud webpage interface! Extremely sad and downright terrible migration from Mobile Me. These are simple text notes this should not be so difficult but Apple chose to treat them the same as email messages basically and made a flashy "Notes App" just like the new iOS 5 "RemindersApp" same thing.
If you’re like me and your looking to go away from your Outlook Notes and just want to put all notes into the Apple Notes then you need to use one of your iOS devices and manually cut and past the notes one at a time from your "From My PC" folder then create a new one on in your iCloud folder. This is also so darn ********! You should be able to select all do a copy then go to the iCloud folder and past,done (but you can't)! With hundreds of Notes collected over the years you’re not likely going to manually open each one select all, copy close and create a new note in the iCloud folder.... and by the way I'm not looking to load Evernot at this time so stop suggesting exporting my Outlook notes to Evertnote, this is not a solution to this issue.
Apple are you listening!?

My nano card is stuck inside my iphone.

I've done something stupid.. Instead cutting the SIM card I've taken the cheap part out and tried to insert to my iphone 5S. Trying to close the metal part it probably went deep there... I got it today tru my mail. Do I have technical support for that? Thanks.

That's great. So pleased for you. Have fun

Where can I get a nano SIM card tray for my ipad mini?.

I have broken mine and apple say they can't supply a replacement.

Just got off the phone to apple again, thought I'd give them one more try.
Now they are sending me a replacement. Why couldn't the previous person I spoke to do that?
I don't think they understood exactly what I needed first time round.
Still happy it's sorted, should be here in a few days.
Thanks for all the replies.

My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

If they can't extract the SIM without opening the iPad (which no service center is authorized to do), and you can't manage to get it out yourself, then you'll probably have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty replacement price and get the iPad replaced. Use of a cut-down SIM is not covered under warranty.
