My iPad is locked on O2 but won't accept a O2 SIM card. Why is this?
My iPad is locked on O2 as it says this on the about bit in setting. I tried putting my O2 SIM card in my iPad but it says SIM card not valid. I got this iPad 4 second hand from a friend. I don't know why my iPad won't accept this sim as this is the Carrier for this iPad. Could someone possibly help me.
Thanks
It's an O2 iPad SIM card that is a data only SIM card. I got a new sim fort he propose that my cell phone sim wouldn't work at all so got a new iPad sim delivered today and it still doesn't work.

Need help to find location of iPad using find my iPad app.. Sound was activated this morning but it won't give me the location.. How can I find it??
Hello there Kylie,
It sounds like your iPad is not showing in Find my iPad when you check it. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4006
Device does not appear in Find My iPhone
This can occur if:
The date on your device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your device is not up-to-date. It needs to be running iOS 5 or later.
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
You have multiple iCloud accounts entered on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Only one account can have Find My iPhone turned on at a given time. Log in to Find My iPhone with your other iCloud accounts until your device is listed.
There's a scheduled maintenance or another issue affecting Find My iPhone. Check the System Status site to see if this is the case.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, enable and then disable Airplane mode. If you continue to have issues, turn the device off and back on.
Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to the Internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
Device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offlineThis can occur if:
Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out. Note that the remaining battery for the device, if it's connected to the Internet, displays in the upper-right corner of the information pane of the selected device. You can still play a sound on, send a message to, issue a lock request, or initiate an erase of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The command will be received after the device is turned on and regains its Internet connection.
Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider. If you contacted your service provider to report your device lost or stolen before locating your phone, and they deactivated your SIM card or account, this would be expected. If this is the case, you may no longer be able to locate, display a message on, or erase your iPhone. For more information, read about what to do if your device is lost or stolen.
Your iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. You will still be able to request an erase, send a message to display and lock your device, or request that a sound be played. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on. My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?
I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
Best of luck,

The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password. I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.
I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

My Ipod won't sync to my itunes, it has before but now the button that says 'sync ipod' is grey and won't let me click it. Why is this?
Did anything happen to the computer? It appears that you are trying to sync to another iTunes library since in that case you can only sync with one iTunes library.

I have backed up my iPad to iCloud as prompted but all my emails have disappeared from my mailboxes, is this suppose to happen? If so, how can I access my backup to see my emails?
Thank you, I never thought about accessing webmail. They are all there.

I recently changed my email address at the online iTunes website. Now I can't update my apps because the log-in shows the old email address, but won't accept the old password. How do I fix this?

Why can I not download the latest version of Flash? Keeps asking me for my password but won't accept even though I go through a reset process of a new passwork to ensure it is correct.
What kind of password? Can you post a screenshot of that prompt?
Also, what is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser? -
My new Smart TV recognizes the the wireless address, but won't accept my password....what's going on?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?
Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?
Still looking for help with this issue, if anyone can help with some information.
Like I said, I'm not a techno-idiot, I'm actually pretty savvy, but this really isn't my area of expertise, so I really really would appreciate some wiser minds than mine looking at this and giving me some information.
Additional information that may help: when I go to Settings > Cellular Data > View Account > ,I get a system error message; it won't let me contact to my account and gives me a number. I assume I'll have to contact Verizon regarding my account, but I'm still wondering about the LTE sim question vs just a "regular" cellular signal.
Does it even make sense what I'm asking or am I just being a complete and total idiot?
Thanks again in advance for any clarifying information.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

i updated my iphone 3g to ios4.2.1 ... the update was succesful but nw itunes says that sim card inserted in this phone is not acceptable and also states that on;y compatible sim from supported carrier is acceptable !!! kindly suggest ...

It has NEVER been possible to purchase an unlocked iPhone 3G in the US. Your phone was hacked. Updating it has re-locked it to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.
The phone is now useless to you. There is no legitimate way to fix this. Buy a new phone. Preferably in India. -
Please help me with my iphone 3G, I backed it up and restored it(step by step) but after restoring I have this message:"
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
". My phone worked properly before with my sim card99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

My IPAD 1 got frozen during resetting all content and settings for 5hrs.
Hello Team, I went to reset everything, data content etc and the screen went black and there is a buffering circle, but it's been like this for like about 5 hours, I did have almost all 12 gb free but I don't think resetting takes this long does it?
