My iPad 1 32 gig 3g did not come with a "SIM card" already put in--with none given in the box. Help?

I recently purchased an apple iPad 1, 32gig, 3G from amazon. When it was shipped, it came in a large box--but in the box was an unopened iPad 1 store box [like one you would pick up in a store]. It was never opened- just sold over amazon.
When I opened all the packaging, I followed the instructions provided and synced my iPad with my iTunes. Then, I was told via my iPad that it did not have a "SIM Card". I looked through all the packaging I was provided, and found a small box-like folder that mentioned the "SIM Card". It had the little tool to access where the "SIM Card" would be placed in the iPad, but no such card was there [in either the iPad or box]. It is nowhere to be found...
Where can I get it? I have siblings who also purchased iPads this week, and their "SIM Cards" were alread implanted in their iPads. Why was mine not, and more imporantly, where is it?? Help please?

Then your family members will probably have bought their ipads with a data plan from some phone company like AT&T in the States. Maybe they even got it "sponsored", because they bought a data plan with it.
If you bought your "iPad only" from a hardware seller, you will have to get a data plan from some phone company. Seems like you only bougth the hardware! You can still use your ipad, however, and if you have an iPhone, you do not even need a sim card in your iPad, because it can use your iPhone's data plan.
That is what I did. I save the extra money for the 3G version, because with an iPhone 4 there is no need for an own sim Card in an iPad.
But that is another topic.

  • FatalInternalException The metadata for type "XYZ" did not come from a file,.....

    Hy !
    Did KODO have Problems if there is a mix of jdo metadata files in
    build.dir and in external jar's while registering a Schema with the
    MappingToolTask ?
    We extracting all *.jdo files from additional jars to a metadata dir and
    also copying all *.jdo files from the current build.dir, because KODO
    only supports a single Fileset for the Metadatafiles.
    The Ant Schema Task looks like:
    <target name="schema-create-kodo" depends="init-kodo-schematool">
         <echo message="Schema Create for KODO"/>
         <taskdef name="kodo-schematool"
              classname="kodo.jdbc.ant.MappingToolTask"
              classpathRef="jdo.schematool.class.path"/>
         <kodo-schematool action="refresh">
         <config propertiesFile="${zeus.persistence.jdo.properties}"/>
         <fileset dir="${jdo.metadata.dir}">
              <include name="**/*.jdo" />
         </fileset>
         <classpath>
              <pathelement path="${compile.project.class.path}"/>
         </classpath>
         </kodo-schematool>
    </target>
    jdo.schematool.class.path: is the Path for the KODO Schematool
    zeus.persistence.jdo.properties: ist the kodo.properties file
    jdo.metadata.dir: is the dir with all metadatafiles
    compile.project.class.path: is the classpath including a build.dir with
    class files + metadatfiles and differnet additional jar files containing
    also enhanced classes with corresponding metadata files
    and that fails with:
    [kodo-schematool] kodo.util.FatalInternalException: The metadata for
    type "class com.wuerth.phoenix.bcserver.base.versan
    t.PCapacityStruct" did not come from a file, and therefore we cannot
    determine where to place the corresponding mapping
    information. If you are using metadata from a jar or other resource,
    you should use one of the other available mapping
    factories.
    com.wuerth.phoenix.bcserver.base.versant.PCapacityStruct comes from a
    jar which also contains a metadatafile.
    We are wondering because if we exlicit give a different metadata file
    via a fileset the Schematool should ignore the other Metadata files
    inside the jar + build.dir !?

    The only Apple computers that have a Mag Safe connector are MacBook laptops (MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air).
    The Mac mini 2010 and 2011 models have a standard power connector, I believe it is called an IEC C7 connector. You can see a picture of the back of the Mac mini here http://www.apple.com/macmini/design.html
    Older Mac mini models prior to 2010 have a proprietary connector. While the following page is for a very old PowerPC Mac mini the connector is the same on early Intel Mac mini models as well. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3019

    I bought a Mac for education last month. However, i did not receive any app gift card. Where can i get it?

    The gift card was from Apple and on campus venders. If you bought the Mac from someone else, then you didn't qualify. If you did buy from Apple or an official on campus Apple partner, speak directly to them.

  • Does the iPhone 5 ship with a SIM card?

    I pre-ordered my iPhone 5 and it showed that my present data plan with AT&T will be continued as is.  My iPhone will be sent to my home address and I want to know if it will ship with a SIM card already installed or will I have to get one from an AT&T store?

    Yes.

  • My iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

    my iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

    If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Could i install a hdmi or video card on a hp 600 all in one mine did not come with one ?

    My hp touchsmart 600 all in one did not come with a hdmi or rca port only coax port.
    Could i install  one or how could i play my xbox on it? it has a delay that dont let you play the game. help

    Hello @kingdavid1977,
    I understand that you are looking for a graphics card for your computer. Although I cannot recommend a specific card for you I can tell you this. According to the HP TouchSmart 600-1350 Desktop PC Product Specifications you have an open Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM 3.0) socket available on your computer and as long as you install a card that meets that slot you should be able to get your game console to connect.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

    That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
    There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:
