  • TS4148 The sim card for my new iphone is not working and I can't get the sim card 'drawer' open - also can't get a telephone appointment with apple until Monday evening - any ideas?

    The sim card for my new iphone 4, purchased today, is saying the sim card is not installed.  I have followed the directions included on the support page but have two problems.  1.  I can't open my sim card sleeve with the key and  2.  I can't get any apple support until Monday evening - can anyone help please?

    Hope this photo helps.

  • Has Apple stopped installing the liquid contact indicator inside the SIM slot opening on the 6 & 6+?  I've inspected several devices and they are not installed.

    I don't know that Apple has ever officially commented on such things, one way or another. Places like ifixit will be your best sources for such information - https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/200937/How+many+water+indicators+or+sensors+ are+there+in+the+iPhone+6
    certainly none of us fellow users know what Apple's official current policies in such things are.

  • TS3274 Just got an ipad and can't open the SIM Card slot - is it meant to be spring loaded - as it comes with a little tool that you poke in the hole, but it will not pop out any help please?

    Just got an ipad air, ordered from Apple online store, can't open the SIm card slot - comes with a special tool, but is it meant to be springloaded and just pop out? I think it is faulty.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • Instructions for opening a Satellite Z930 with a slot for SIM card

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite Z930 which I would like to open in order to replace the original SSD with one having a higher capacity.
    The thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=279122
    was very helpful.
    But my PC has a SIM card slot on the right side (side opposite to the microphone and the headphone)
    Even after taking off all the 14 screws (including the torx one right in the center), the back cover can not be lifted up on the side of the SIM card slot. Something is holding it back.
    Has anyone in the community already succeeded in removing the back cover for this confiuration ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Randy, Thanks anyway for your time.
    After hesitating a bit, I finally decided to remove the SIM tray completely (since that was what was preventing the backcover from coming off).
    When you pull at the tray (it is plastic and gray in color and opposite to the audio and video outlets), it does not come off completely when you pull it out normally to maximum (as when inserting a SIM card). You have to frankly tug and pull hard and the plastic tray comes out (just take care not to break it, whch shouldn't happen since the tray is supple and flexible).
    Once the tray is out, the back cover comes off (like explained in several videos on the net, especially a good one mentioned by Randy).
    Now, I could replace the original factory 128Gb SSD with a 480 Gb disk from mushkin (Atlas mSATA SSD).
    This disk from mushkin is just about the right size to go into the Z930, a bit more bigger and it would not have fitted !
    Hope this is useful to others.

  • Aperture will not open, even with re-install

    I'm re-installing from a cd.  I have upgraded since Aperture 1.0!!  When I use the install from Aperture 3.0, it won't open my library (because it has been updated to a newer version of Aperture).  So, I tried to open Aperture with the sample library on the disc.  No go.  States I don't have permissions. 
    I updated the re-installed version of Aperture 3.0 to the current 3.2.3.  I still CANNOT open Aperture.  I seem to be getting the same error message. 
    I have fixed permissions and all.  My Mac is up to date.  I don't know what else to do. 
    I have a MacBook Air and Aperture works great on it.  Problem is my huge library is difficult to transfer or duplicate since it is so large.  I think I will just take out my hard drive from my Mac Pro and put it in a desktop enclosure. 
    I can't even open Aperture from my Vault.

  • I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand.  But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status.  What do I do?

    I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand.  But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status.  I also have very weak wifi reception.  What do I do?
    I already tried the following:
    a. Turned the phone off and then on.
    b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
    c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
    d. Tried resetting the phone.
    e.     Tried different microsims from all networks
    f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”.  And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
    I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced.  I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada. 
    I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback.  Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

    From the Repair terms and conditions found here:

    Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorized distributors originally sold the

    my iphone automatically locked and it does not open again,but if u call the sim that was inserted you will hear that it was active,so please help me how to open my iphone 4,no display appeared if you touch the switch button,

    Hello arlyn-cavite,
    If the screen is not showing anyting when you press any of the buttons you may want to try these steps.
    From article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    You might have better luck go to the developer's website since it appears to be a problem with the app not with the iPod.  Also, the developer would know about updates.

  • I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if i phone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if the iphone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

  • My 4s SIM card slot is jammed- won't open completely

    My SIM card seems to have slipped inside the slot and I can't get the 'drawer ' open now. It is a perfect phone which is useless until I can fix this. I took it to the apple store and they told me that they couldn't reach the sim with the back off, and wouldn't take the back off for me to try.

    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.
    Regards.

  • 3GS sim tray not openning, what to do

    3GS sim tray is not opening, what to do.

    Yeah, I have to agree with RoamingGnome...this sounds like more of a Jailbreak issue, not an Apple issue.  If you bought this phone from a legal distributor and just haven't upgraded your iOS since 3.1.2, I'd contact the place where you purchased it.  If you Jailbroke or bought it Jailbroken to get it Unlocked to use with any carrier, my best solution would be to search the net.  I'm pretty sure there is a current Jailbreak for up to iOS 5.1.1, but I'm not really up to date with that information.  I do know that you can legally now purchase a factory unlock from Apple, but I'm not sure if that's only with new purchases or if you can buy an Unlock for an older phone.
    My best solution would be to search your phone revision &amp; iOS online and you should get what you're looking for.  Sometimes you can even just search YouTube and they'll have a step-by-step video showing you exactly how to do whatever you might need to get up &amp; running again.
    It's pretty rough being without a cellphone, especially if it's your only communication device.  Hopefully this at least pointed you in the proper direction.

  • Unable to open iPhone5 SIM slot (US bought phone)

    I bought an iPhone5 from the US, on AT&T carrier. I have now returned to Europe, and wish to change the SIM card.
    However the SIM card slot is there, but will not open. I have used the key / paperclip methods to try and open, and have taken to an Apple reseller for advice/assistance, but they were too unable to help.
    I understand there may be a reason why the phone may be SIM locked electronically, but can anyone advise if the hardware may itself be locked to prevent SIM removal? It appears strange that the slot is there but cannot not be opened.
    I am hoping it is a hardware fault - if so I expect I will need to return for repair in the US? Or can I take to my nearest Apple store (Amsterdam) for warranty repair?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    You are correct that the warranty is not valid in EU or anywhere outside the US
    You could try an Apple retail Store genius bar , they may help you to open the sim tray but that is all
    However the iPhone will not work with any other sim as it is locked to AT&T from what you say
    You will have to apply to AT&T to see if you qualify for an unlock

Maybe you are looking for
