my iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim card is in

There appear to be a number of posts about this topic.
I have the same problem with my iPad 2. Worked fine for months, and now suddenly the iPad seems to 'loose' the SIM card and reports in the top-left corner it reads: 'No SIM'.
Some findings from my side, while trying to address this:
- when I switch to flight mode and then turn flight mode off again, the problems goes away, but comes back after a few minutes
- same happens when I do a full power off.
- I got a new SIM card from my provider. Same issue.
- once you 'lost' the SIM card, it never comes back. (only after full power off - see above).
- I contacted Apple Care today and they told me that this was not a known problem to them. Well, now it is :-)
- Apple Care suggested to me to perform a full reset of the iPad. This is standard procedure and this was not a specific recommended action in relation to this problem. But suggest to perform this procedure anyway. In Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. With this you do not loose your data, but you will need to configure your network/password settings, game center password, etc.
For now this appears to have fixed it....
Good luck,
Anton

Why does my iPhone keep saying no sim card

Remove and reinsert the SIM
Insert a different SIM.
If the problem continues take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

My I phone 3GS keeps saying no sim. How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT if there is any area outage

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

I have had the digitizer changed on my iphone 3gs and put it back after the recvorey mode but it just keeps saying no sim installed please hellp

i have had my phone unlocked and decided to put a new digitizer on it today but it want come on i done the recovery thing and it keeps saying no sim installed disconnect and install sim but it still want come on please help

If you had your phone "unlocked in a shop" then your phone is most certainly jailbroken. Only the carrier to which a phone is locked can officially unlock the iPhone.
Since your phone is jailbroken, your warranty with Apple is void, and you have forfeited your ability to receive any assistance from Apple including from this forum. Terms of Use of thie forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.
You will have to look elsewhere on the internet for assistance. Unfortunately for you, there isn't a fix for your phone and I think you have permanently "bricked" your phone. You will likely not ever get it to work again.
In any case, best of luck to you.

You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Mine has never said that, you may want to get a new SIM from your cell service carrier.
Apple has a doc with some suggestions here -> Apple ID: If you forget your password

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

Place the device in DFU mode and restore.

Updates are free. Upgrades aren't.

I downloaded itunes to my computer, but when i try to add my music to my iphone it says cannot connect to the iphone store

I downloaded iTunes on my computer with windows 7. when I try to add my music to my iphone it says cannot connect to the iphone store

Is this a new computer?
Have you transferred your library to it?
Have you authorised the computer to your Apple ID?
Are there app or media items on the device that aren't on your computer?
I suspect if there is any protected content involved anywhere in the mix, apps for example, that iTunes will want to "phone home" to check.
If you haven't transferred your library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Is your phone unlocked by the orginal phone carrier?

Keeps saying "no sim"

i bought an iphone 3g and yesterday i put in a sim card and everything was fine but today it keeps saying "no sim" but there is a sim card inside.

This sounds completely ludicrous, but I'm sitting here in front of my iPad 2 64GB on AT&T and depending on which way I orient it goes from "No SIM" to finding 2-3 bars of AT&T service. It seems to work when its in landscape mode with the front facing camera on the right and the home button on the left. I'm going to restore this thing and see if that is a suitable long term fix, otherwise I'll see if theres a genius out there that can piece this mystery together for me.

I pad keeps saying no sim card and there is one in

i pad locked dont know passcode didnt put one on and it keeps saying no sim card

Hello dolly,
The troubleshooting steps are still relevant regardless of iPhone or iPad. Here is the article about a forgotten passcode on an iOS device named iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes
Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."]
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
