Need to replace my iPad 32GB 3G+WiFi

Hi..
I bought an iPad a month back from a mall in India.
It was working fine until Friday and suddenly it started showing , " NO SIM CARD INSTALLED" .
It has got more problems like, iCal crashing immediately when you open and slow response to gestures, etc.
So, it looks like I have came across a faulty piece.
So, I need to replace this and get a completely new one from Apple.
I have lost my bill, but I remember the store.
So, can I just goto the store and give them my serial number and ask them to process my replacement ?
Is that replacement immediate or does it take time ?
Actually, I had to fly 3000kms to get it and I won't be able to stay for more than few hours in that city, when I go for the replacement.
So, can I get an immediate replacement ?
Let me know ASAP!

You aren't talking to Apple on this forum. This is a user-to-user technical help forum; Apple only hosts these forums. No one here can answer your question.
You could contact the store where you bought your iPad to see if they will replace it for you. If so, have them reserve the iPad and setup a specific time when the replacement will be available.
Another approach would be to contact Apple support. See Contacting Apple for support and service

  • IPad mini lockscreen issue, do i need to replace my iPad?

    Hello,
    I bought last week the iPad mini, but a few days ago I stumbled upon a lockscreen issue. When the iPad screen is off and I press the home button the screen turns on, but there is some distortion on the unlock bar, lines that quickly disappear. This happens only sometimes. I upgraded today to iOS 6.1.3 but this issue continues to occur. Please I would be grateful for any advice. Do I have to return my iPad to the seller? Or this issue is common.
    Best regards

    I would not say it is a common issue at all. Try this and see if it helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Estimated delivery dates for iPad 4 with wifi and cellular UK

    I have ordered the new iPad 32gb With wifi and cellular data and on my account it just says late November. Is there any way to find out a more specific date as I am going away and want to take it with me?? Would I have to ring Apple and ask?

    No one here will know
    I doubt ringing will change anything as Apple
    will update orders as soon as they can see supply to apply to the orders
    You will find the number for UK on the  order document

    Replacement iPad 4th generation WIFI/3G saying no SIM CARD and unable to restore previous settings

    Hi Inez2317, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:
    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone - Apple Support
    Although the article references the iPhone, most of the steps can help troubleshoot an iPad as well. 
    All the best,

  • My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. it says that tI need to have teh ipad plugged in, l,, lockerd and connected to wifi but I caocked and connected to wifi. I cannot connect to wifi because the ipad is frozen. How can I un freeze it?

    My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. It says that I need to have it plugged in to wifi. I can't connect to wifi because it's frozen. What should I do?

    If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

    I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi.  I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one.  I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money.  Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

    I already pay apple for my iphone data
    You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
    Why are there so many bad reviews
    Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

  • HT4623 My 5.1.1. 28.6 Gb IPad crashes about every 5 minutes or so it doesn't matter what I am doing, whether it is fully charged, plugged in or needing a charge.  It is the first version, is it possible I need to replace it?

    I have had my iPad for several years and recently it has started crashing for no reason, I am wondering if I need to replace it of if there is a fix. It doesn't matter if it has a full charge or if the charge is low. I have noticed that the battery does not hold a charge for very long now so maybe the battery is going bad? Any thoughts?

    It's possible that the battery needs to be replaced. If you bought one of the original iPads, it could be close to four years old now so the battery might be bad.
    Have you tried any basic troubleshooting steps? Sometimes closing Apps and resetting the device can help. Clearing Safari wouldn't be a bad idea either.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
    In order to close all apps, Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Apple has has a battery replacement policy that you can look into. I would make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a Genius to look at your iPad and see if he/she can recommend something different or maybe even restore the device for you to get it back to good running condition again.

  • HT6058 I need to update my iPad and dere is no wifi in range what can I do about it

    I need to update my iPad and dere is no wifi in range

    There are two ways to update - via wifi or connect the iPad to a computer and use iTunes.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    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 an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
        1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
        2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
        3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
        4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
        5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
        1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
        2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
        3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
        4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
        5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
        6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
        7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
        8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • IPad is frozen, says needs backup, plugged in, locked, and on wifi. How do we get it going again, can't turn off, can't get to apps, what do we do?

    iPad is frozen, says needs backup, plugged in, locked, and on wifi.  What do we do?  It appears to be frozen.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting

    Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting to my email id and password

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

  • I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

    i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

    I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
    On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
    I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
    The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features.  Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
    Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
    Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!
