Reset, hold together Home and Power buttons for about 15 seconds until by itself iPhone turns off and then restarts. If this does not work, toggle on and off Airplane mode, obviously leaving it off. If this does not work, click icon Settings>General>click at bottom Reset>Reset Network Settings. If this does not work, use paper clip to slide out SIM Tray, and then carefully slide it back in.

No sim card installed error on iPad 3G
Hello to the forum,
My iPad 3G cannot read the micro sim card installed issued by Vodafone Greece. This micro sim card works perfectly on an iPhone 4. So what i did was i restore to factory settings and install the sim card, it didn't work, I restore the hole ipad and set it up from itunes as a new ipad, it didnt work either so far at IOS 3.2.2. I restore and update to 4.2.1 set it up as a new ipad and I am still getting the no sim card installed message. I restored network settings i tried with wifi on wifi off location services on and off NOTHING works still no sim...
Can someone please advise? What is the issue? Can it be Fixed?Chiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there. -
HT1976 I get no Sim Card installed message when trying to use my phone
My phone just stopped working - I get a "No Sim Card Installed" Message. I have not changed any settings.
So you have not changed anything or updated
try reseating the sim (assume it is a microsim not a hand cut )
and go through Apple troubleshooting
Restart ,reset ,restore
May be the sim has gone "bad"

I bought iPhone at Verizon-is it unlocked so I can put in an Italian SIM card in when I am traveling there. Can I use the iPhone as a hotspot?
No.
If a 4S, Verizon must unlock the GSM portion which then can be used with another carrier's SIM card outside of the US.
Being able to tether the iPhone is carrier dependent. -
Hello,
I have bought Iphone 5 with no contract (649$ + Tax) and i've activated it with nano sim of sprint (without having sprint account)
i am outside US now , and i was discover that the phone can't be used because the activation with other sim is failed.
Sprint says that can't do anything if i dont have sprint account (no sure why they cant locate it VIA SN\IMEI).
what should i do in order to unlock it ?
ThanksYou bought a Sprint phone. Sprint phones are NOT unlocked. Sprint will only unlock the SIM slot for current Sprint customers in good standing for use while travelling internationally.
You bought the wrong phone. Since you're not a Sprint customer, you can not get it unlocked. Sell it to someone in the US and buy a phone you can use. -
I have requested my iPhone to be unlocked
And to finish the process it is asking me to back it up on my computer with iTunes.
I have backed it up via icloud as per the apple store instructions as my computer is broken. How do I finish the unlock process on my phone.
Do I just select reset?About unlocking

Sim Card Error/No Sim Card Installed on Iphone5
I've had my Iphone for just over 3 days and All of a sudden the last 2 day I've had the "No Sim Card Installed" Error message pop up 3 times in two days. I restarted the phone but It keep on coming back sporatically and without reason. Taking it Back to Verizon tomorrow. Could Apple be pumping these out way too fast?? This is my First Iphone. Hope this is not a warning to switch back to Droid!!
Try taking the sim card out of the phone and then re-inserting it and re-booting the phone and this sometimes does the trick.

OPC input module unknown upon worksheet startup. No sound card installed error.
Hi all,
I am on v11.00.00 and have two problems.
1. Upon startup, I get a 'no sound card installed' error despite having already selected the sound board from the Measurement tab. I've already checked the Windows Device manager and verified that the sound card is working OK.
2. Upon loading a worksheet, I get a module unknown error - in this case an OPC Input module for a DT9837B sound and vibration measurement box. I've already installed the DAQ OEM drivers.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Thanks...
You may need to edit the sounddrv.ini file to change the device number.
The default file is this
[SETUP]
PlayWelcome=1
DisplayNoSoundCardMsg=0
InputDevice=0
OutputDevice=0
BitsPerSample=16
LeftVolume=50000
RightVolume=50000
SameVolume=1
Change InputDevice to =1
File is in the Public users folder (Documents and Settings\All Users on XP), in the DASYLab\11.0.0\Eng folder.
OPC and DT have nothing to do with each other. They may be conflicting, however, since both are add-on drivers. If you edit the DASYLab.ini file (same location as the SoundDrv.ini file), put a semicolon character ";" in front of the line that loads the OPCC.DLL.
If the line is missing (i.e., the DT installation obliterated it), change one of the other lines to be DLLx=Opcc.dll. That will add it back in.
Ensure that the DT driver is loaded. Both of these are in the [EXTEND] section of the file.

It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked. -

The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

I have an iphone 3GS that I have inactivated as of today. I still wish to sync this phone with iTunes (did a restore as I transferred my data to a new iPhone). However, iTunes is giving me an error message that there is no SIM card installed in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. I've powered off the phone, held the power button & home button until iTunes popped up with restore note. Re-did the restore (twice) but still coming up with same error message.
Kind of what I figured.....will I be able to sync to iTunes in future as many times as I want without the SIM card (once it's activated again)?

You cannot active a phone if it does not have a SIM card in it. Period. End of discussion.
If you get this error and it has a SIM card in the phone then either the SIM card is defective or the phone is defective. Get a new SIM card and try again. If the problem occurs with the new SIM card the phone needs to be repaired. -
I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.
Hi there,
if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
Hope this helps,
Chris -
