My sim card is not recognized by my iphone, whenever I insert it it says NO SIM?

I got the iphone as a gift from my uncle who lives in America. It could be that it needs to be unlocked. I live in Yemen.

Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
Contact them to find out their requirements for unlocking.

Airport card is not recognized by G3 iMac

I recently acquired a G3 600 MHz iMac, running OS X 10.4.11, and I want to join the iMac to my wireless network. So I purchased an Airport card ( tested card on a ibook running 10.4.11 and it works fine.) and seated it in the G3 iMac. For some reason the iMac does not recognize it one bit. I checked profiler and System Preferences and no sign of an Airport Card. I then opened the iMac and reseated the card, I even changed out the adapter with another adapter I had. After researching online, some people suggested an archival OS restore. Although I would try that but unfortunately I do not have any of the original install disks. So my question is: does anyone know how I can make the os recognize the card?
Greatly appreciate the help.

There are two versions of the original AirPort card, and their identify can be determined using the information below.
The poster you replied to may be referring to this post quoted below, though even if he had the initially issued card, it would not explain why the card is not recognized. Though incapable of supporting advanced security, it would otherwise be recognized and operate as expected if seated properly, as you have described.
The original AirPort card was equivalent to a WaveLAN Silver card, and supported only 40-bit WEP or 64-bit encryption, and did not support WPA.
The original AirPort Base Station which shipped with these cards on board was limited to 10 clients, had only a 10BbaseT LAN port, and supported only 40-bit WEP. Later cards which looked physically identical, supported 104 bit WEP, or 128-bit encryption, as did the AirPort Base Stations which included them. This second card, also manufactured initially in the Netherlands for Apple by AT&T's Lucent unit—later know as ORiNOCO—was equivalent to the WaveLAN Gold card.
The 661-2219 part number is distinguished by the M7600LL/* marketing designator screened on the label, as well as engineering revision part number 825-4889 and worldwide procurement part number 630-2883. EEE code G3G is embedded right-most in the last four characters of each part's serial number. *This character is typically A, B or C.
The 661-2569, on the other hand, is distinguished by an M7600LL/D or later marketing designator, engineering revision part number 825-5620, the same worldwide procurement part number 630-2883 and typically the phrase '128 bits' along the lower center of the label. EEE codes LH8, M6Y or QAC are embedded right-most in the last four characters of each part's serial number.
While a procurement number generally changes when a service part number change is made, this product did not, as Lucent remained its sole supplier, the 'change' to the card involved different firmware and not a physical change to the product, and Apple personnel largely considered them equivalent, though they were and are not.
Graphite AirPort base station models initially used the M7600LL/A, B or C cards, and was itself designated the M7601LL/A and later, the M7601LL/B. Both base stations were also designated as 661-2265 whole unit service replacement parts. Every card we've ever seen in a Graphite base station was a 661-2219 and was marked as described above.
Apple did not adequately document many of these parts and there applications at the time they were still in use, and all have disappeared from their inventory—except in limited cases—as has much of what existed for documentation. Given their personnel changes over the years, it's quite likely that no one there now can recall the subtle differences or properly identify these products. Once there are designated vintage, then obsolete, they drop quickly off of the radar.
While any properly functioning iMac compatible AirPort card properly mounted in a 076-0804 adapter would show up in the System Profiler without the antenna connected, the performance of such a card would be poor to abysmal.
I believe that you are completely correct when you indicate that either the adapter is not seated properly, that it is not working properly, or that the logic board is defective. The latter two scenarios are quite unlikely, though possible.

While updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me

while updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me

I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply

Card reader not recognized in Windows Explorer

My Dell XPS 8500 has an internal card reader. An inserted card was always recognized as soon as it was inserted. After installing Lightroom, the inserted card is no longer recognized by My Computer until after I start lightroom and begin the import process. I would prefer to copy my photos from the card to a chosen file on my hard drive without Lightroom's intervention. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Are you saying Windows Explorer doesn't show the card reader as a drive letter (E: or other letter), but LR does? Please take a screenshot of the LR Import screen and Windows Explorer screens as shown below. On my system the card reader appears as drive I: in both Windows Explorer and LR's Import module:

Graphics card is not recognized in windows 7

Hi guys, i just installed windows 7 ultimate on my bootcamp partition. Everything loaded fine. I used my osx disk to install bootcamp, it worked. But my video card (Nvidia geforce gt 330m) is not recognized or something. i checked device manager and under display there is only standard VGA driver. I went to the nvidia website and downloaded the driver but when i go to install it, it says: the nvidia setup could not find any drivers that supports your hardware.
Any ideas??
my video card works perfectly on mac...

^^Gecko, I'm not bustin' on you, but you're wrong. Or, you are, but I doubt it, one of the lucky ones.
I've gotten 3.1 installed by running the setup .exe file from the DVD via Windows Explorer. Everything seems OK except the graphics/resolution. My NVIDIA card isn't recognized and my resolution options only go up to 1280 x 800.
The Window 7 Performance Information and Tools shows this:
"Graphics
Total available graphics memory Not detected
Dedicated graphics memory 0 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 0 MB
Display adapter driver version 6.1.7600.16385
Primary monitor resolution 1280x800
DirectX version DirectX 8 or earlier"
Apple, please, help us!

DOD access card certificates not recognized when trying to access web sites with a card reader while older version of firefox did.

In the past I have been able to access web sites that require certificates pulled from a common access card inserted into a card reader attached to my Mac. Since I have updated to the newer version of Firefox, the sites that I am trying to gain entry to are not recognizing either the card, card reader or those certificates. If I use Safari or my work computer, the sites recognize my card and certificates and I am grated entry. I would use Safari but I like the format of Firefox for the specific tasks that require the access card. Just looking for a solution. Firefox does open other sites just fine. It's just the ones that require the card, reader and certificates.

SD Card videos not recognized

This is what's happening.
Note, I was able to retrieve pictures AND videos on my SD card to my Macbook Pro before using iPhoto.
After format,
1. SD Card's video's are not recognized in Image Capture
2. Videos don't show up in iPhoto.
3. Videos are not recognized in Finder.
4. HOWEVER, I can import the videos through iMovie (as a new project which is annoying).
5. Also I know there are videos in the SD card because I can preview them on my camera.
I have 2011 Macbook Pro 13'' base model 10.8.2

No, the camera does not see the card either. The camera shop experts tried their programs and could not make any progress as they could also never get the computer to acknowledge there is a card there. They are trying to find someone that can take the card apart to see if they can retrieve the data.

The iPhone communcates differently from iPods, so the fact that an iPod connects is no guarantee that everything is working.

ITunes not recognizing iPad or iPhone via wireless

I've been noticing that since the last iTunes update iTunes won't recognize my iPad or iPhone via my wireless connection when I launch iTunes. I have to manually plug each one in to sync, and this has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks.
At first it was only sometimes, then it was just the iPhone, then it was just the iPad, then it would alternate between the two, and now it won't recognize either.
Do I have something off in my settings, or is this a bug in the new iTunes system?
Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Hey jzzlvr57,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the device isn't showing up in iTunes. I would recommend that you read one of these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 and now the sim card is not recognized

What can I do now?

Most likely your phone was locked to a single carrier and was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it to work with other carriers. Updating or restoring the phone locks it to the original carrier. As the iPhone license and warrenty specifically forbid hacking the iPhone there is no solution available in an Apple-hosted forum.
