N80 won't accept Sim

Hi, I have an N80 and just have just had the ribbon replaced after the screen and speaker stopped working.
The phone now appears to be working fine, without a sim card. When a sim card is in I get the error 'sim card not valid' which I have read is normally due to it being locked however this is the same card I've used in that phone for the last 2 years.
I went back to the shop and was told nothing he has done should affect that and something must be wrong with the software. I tried updating to the latest firmware but can't since the phone requires a working sim to do this.
Does anyway please have any suggestions for how I could fix this? I could just get a new phone now but wanted to wait until the N97 is released.

Sounds like a problem with the card reader on the N80. Try cleaning it and if it works. Otherwise, the option is to get it fixed at your local Nokia Care Point. It probably got damaged when the cable was replaced even though they are saying otherwise.

IPhone won't accept sim card

Hey, so I have a problem. I bought an iPhone4 from the apple store, got it working fine on O2. But now I'm in another country and I've tried to pun in a new micro sim and it won't work. Invalid sim card was the message displayed and the phone is unable to load the network list. Why is this happening? The phone should be unlocked since it was purchased in the apple store.

It's not Apple's fault. Apple doesn't own any networks, they just make the hardware. Contracts with many carriers that support the iPhone require the phone be locked to their network. Such is the case with AT&T.
French law requires that unlocking be available for all phones sold there. You can purchase an officially unlocked phone at any Apple store or online. Be careful if you purchase at an Apple store, both carrier locked & unlocked are available. Make sure, if you purchase at an Apple store, that the phone is unlocked. While french law requires the carriers unlock phones, best to start out with an unlocked phone to begin with.

I have a iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought unlocked in the UK. I have just moved to singapore and have been told the iPhone won't accept a sim here as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock. Will this be the same for my ipad?

I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it. Will I have the same problem with my ipad?

Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist )

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.

IPhone 4 won't accept new sim

Hi,
My brother-in-law bought me a surprise present when I got married to his sister, an iPhone 4! Which is fantastic, only it won't accept my sim-card. I'm from the UK and I assume he bought the phone locally in the US (where he lives) - but I don't see why that should have any effect. I bought a monthly iPhone contract sim from 3-Mobile, put it in the phone and nothing happens. Acts like there is no sim installed. Am I missing something here? Its a valid iPhone network and sim so I don't see why it would locked out...
Any help would be great.

First time I've been disappointed like this by an Apple product
Don't blame Apple. While Apple may make the iphone, they don't own any networks. Thus, they are at the mercy of the carriers that do own the networks. Many carriers will not support or distribute the iphone unless the phone is locked to their networks. It would be far cheaper & easier for Apple if they could simply sell unlocked iphones everywhere. The decision to unlock or not rests with the carriers(unless required by law), not Apple.

Having trouble with international sim. Purchased phone unlocked, no contract from Apple store in Australia. Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked. Any hints would be welcome.

Purchased phone (3GS) unlocked, outright so no contract from Apple store in Australia.
Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked and he doesn't understand how it could be if it was supposed to be off contract. Software updates have been done regularly. They think that it shouldn't come up "connect to iTunes" when the Danish sim is installed.
Any hints would be welcome.

Hi Peter
Yes - it was from a proper Apple Store.
I only purchased the unit - no special requests and then went to O2 and hooked up with a scolling monthly sim.
I used that sim for about 6 months and then moved out here. I took on two PAYG sims, one for Qatar and one for UAE but neither are accepted.
When connect to my mbp, the phone screen shows the iphone connect cable and iTunes picks it up. The message then says " must insert original sim to register" My point - the original sim, was completely independant from the phone but I cant get past this point to do anything further.
Any thoughts?

IPad won't accept PIN

I switched off my iPad 2. It won't accept my PIN now - has never happened before. Have removed and reinstalled SIM card. I can't do a computer backup (some backup is on Cloud). What to do? A reset? Would I lose my Kindle books if I did a reset?

Try a reset (that will not affect your data). Reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.

How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

When I try to access the Apple store to install a game on my Iphone3g, another person's email address comes up on the page that asks for my password. Has someone hacked my account? It won't accept my password because it's someone else's ID!!!

When I attempt to install a game on my I phone 3g, another person's ID (email address) is on the little box where it asks for my password. It won't accept my password because it's not my ID. How can I get this person's ID off my phone? Have I been hacked or something??

Just sign put of that account and into yours.

Hello Sriggers,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are attempting to update some applications on your iPhone but the payment method was declined. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the information in the attached article to help resolve the situation.

Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

Hi all,
My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
Help! and Thanks.

Norman & Harry,
Consider the following:
*_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
Select the TC on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
*I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
*It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
Click the "File Sharing" tab.
Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
If you have made any changes then click "Update".
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

How can two people use both of their shared credit cards on each of their two iPhones if the credit card numbers are the same but the names are different? The iPhone won't accept the second card because it says that it's already been loaded.

iPhone won't accept second credit card with the same number, but different user.

Only one credit card can be on an iTunes account at any one time - presumably if they are shared credit cards with the same card number then it's the same credit card account with the one bill, so from a billing/payment point of view does it make any difference which card is on the account(s) ?
