No sim error on my iPad with SIM card installed

My iPad has a new SIM card in it but gives a no sim error message, help!

I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but after having the same "No Sim Card" problem after installing iOS7, trying the various "fixes" ... removing and replacing Sim Card, turning Airport Mode off and on, etc., without a permanent fix, just now I removed the Sim Card and cleaned the inside of the Sim Card slot on my iPad2.
To do this I took a thin flexible piece of plastic ... it's actually one of the removable collar stiffeners from a men's dress shirt, but a sized strip of cardboard would also work. I folded a cut-to-fit strip of paper towel ( I used heavy duty Bounty paper towel so it wouldn't fall apart ... a piece of clean cotton would work as well) over the plastic strip, soaked it with isopropyl alcohol, and carefully slid it back and forth in the slot a couple of times.
Then I reinserted the sim card and turned the iPad back on. At first I got the no card message again, but after simply turning Airport mode off and on, then wi-fi off and on, it started working again. This was a few hours ago. I've gone back to the iPad several times now and when I've turned it on, it continues to work properly. Only time will tell if this will work permanently, but since I've had the no card message non-stop for 2 weeks now, it's definitely encouraging.
It makes sense, because one of the fixes was to clean the Sim Card. Why wouldn't the Sim Card's receptacle be just as likely to get dirty or have a tiny bit of dust on it, stopping the connection? Wish me luck.

ok, I did, and it said again congrats your iPhone is unlocked, but, when it said there was a new carrier update, I cancelled it, but, it asked me again, I cancelled again, I guess I'm scared it will lock it again if I allow the carrier update.
Oh, there it goes again, this time on the phone, arg. I hit update, I hope it doesn't freak out.
I'm glad I didn't destroy the SIM like I almost did. But, it will come out again, longer battery life with the cell portion turned off.

Got No SIM message on my iPad. SIM works fine in my iPhone

And my iPhone sim works in the iPad.
Is this likely to be a hardware issue? Any ideas about how to fix?

Falling in love this iMac G4 but being frustrated with AE card install

Hi all, I really DO hope to get some solutions from here about my iMac G4 20" 1.25ghz. I bought this about a week ago as used one, and how much I was excited to adopt this beautifully looking computer..
To make it short, here is my problem;
Becasue this model(iMac G4 1.25ghz flat screen 20") can take Airport Extreme Card for wirelss networking, I bought an Airport Extreme Card and installed it properly which means I securely inserted the card itself and antenna jack too.
and I turned the computer on, the system profiler recognizes it as expected, but *there are no available wireless networks at all*. In my house, there are always several secured wireless networks available.
- No signals at all on the menu bar no matter whether to turnthe Airport On or Off
- "Airport is turned on but is not connected to a network"
SO, I googled this symtom and came up with some possible suggestions such as 'press hard to insert the card and antenna firmly' or 'cleaning the contact of the AE card' or 'try the other card', but none of them did work, still no luck. I tried two different Airport Extreme Card but still no use.
FYI, my router is not apple products but Blitzzz Wireless Router. I have another iMac G4 15"(800MHZ) which has Airport Card(not Extreme)installed, and this iMac G4 15"(800MHZ) picks up all available wireless networks and working just great. And also, my other Windows XP machine alsoworks fine.
According to my researchon the google, there have been some poeple withhaving similar issues and the solution was to connect the card cable fimrly', which is not my case because I triple checked it is securely inserted.
What should I do? Should I just go 'WIRED', 'giving up going wirelessly'?
ANy thoughts or idea?
appreciated any responses,
Kevin

PS: When I opened the machine to see any loose cables, I saw two black cable coming down from the top part which has 'HH' marks on, and one with male type is connected to the other cable(female type) coming from the logic board bottom(pretty sure this is for Wireless connection)), and there is another one(looks like female type) which is not connected but sealed with tiny yellow tape(I googled this and got to know it is for Bluetooth setup at the factory).
After all, all with cable connections seem to be fine.

Hi guys,
here is the outcome so far but still no luck;
1) re-installed Tiger from the scratch and didn't do any update, and the issue was still there(AE card detected but no wireless networks available)
2) and then, did all updates, but still no luck
SO, the next thing I did was to check if the card itself is okay. I took the card and then inserted into my other mac(eMac G4 1.25ghz) and it worked like charm.
then I re-installed the AE card into my iMac G4 20" 1.25ghz. This time, I wanted to check what might be wrong with this machine especially its wireless capability, because that way I can tell if there is any internal damaged or broken wireless cable. Hence the followings are what I did;
1) System Preference -> Sharing -> Internet tab
2) Checked the Airport then clicked Start.(now I am broadcasting internet sharing through the Airport Extreme Card, isn't it? because this machine also has ethernet connection, wired)
3) Now, I went to upstairs where there is iMac G4 15"(800MHZ) equipped with Airport card to see whether it can connect to internet through the iMac G4 20"(1.25ghz).
4) and you know what? actually it can detect the iMac G4 20"(1.25ghz) downstairs.
5) Doesn't this mean that the wireless cable and the AE card itself on the iMac G4 20"(1.25ghz) are at least working???
Anyway, let me try one more with Leopard tomorrow and will let you guys know. If that doesn't even work under Leopard, I will give up the AE card and rather go for USB type wireless adapter as Ken suggested...
Very frustrating...
many thanks and will post any update tomorrow...

"No SIM" error message on iPad Air

This "error" appeared out of the blue. I did not drop my iPad and I had used it earlier in the day with no issues.
Later the same day:
Found a YouTube video that gave instructions on how to open the SIM card slot. Powered my iPad off, made sure my SIM was firmly seated in tray (it seemed to be, but who knows?), powered back on and all seems to be well. Hope it stays that way.

Hi lmdavis,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If the No SIM alert returns, try the possible resolution suggestions in the iPhone article linked below (you can skip step #5). Even though the article was written for iPhones, the troubleshooting steps still apply for the iPad.

I don't think it is permissions as I have seen on some forums because the share has read/execute permissions for domain users and domain computers

ITunes for Windows 7 shows error messsage "this ipad cannot be connected. install 64 bit version" even though itunes was unistalled and latest version installed several times. what's next?

this ipad worked with iTunes on this PC before but I ve installed new software (don't remember what) and changed password to Apple and iCloud
this ipad works fine with another PC. New iPads can connect to this PC but not the old one. What do i do? buy new PC?
i did this iPad syncing with iTunes already - no result
ios 7 ipad 3 Cellular 32

Make sure you backup prior to following the steps below:
I'd recommend uninstalling iTunes on your PC, restarting if recommended, then going to the Start button and typing Regedit and searching for anything which mentions iTunes and deleting any mention of it from your Registry as it sounds like something from a previous version of iTunes is still hanging around in your Registry, however be very careful not to delete anything else as this could result in serious issues for you computer.
Once done and all entries for iTunes are deleted from the Registry, check C:\program files or where iTunes was installed and delete the iTunes folder if still present.
Then go here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/ and download iTunes.
Good luck,
Steve

Hi Shane,
I checked mi smart card reader, is working correctly with the drivers correct.
I think that the card is Unconfigured because now for show all applets that are installed on the card, is generated the same error. Before I could do it, without problems.

Error in boot-uponly with win98 HDD installed

Gents:
Desire to report a bug in arch 0.5 downloaded Oct 18, 2003.
Utilized arch 0.5 for some time but after installing arch linux, slackwareeline 9.0 and slackware linux 9.1 along with windows 98 in my system I encountered inability to load arch 0.5 until win98 HDD was removed.
Initial setup of the system operated correctly, each linux OS capable of mounting partitions of the other, whether it was arch to slackware or the reverse. This capability was in addition to accessing vfat on two HDD having fat file systems(one is a USB device the other the secondary slave. However, upon reboot, an fsck fail occurred asking for: " mount -n -o remount, rw/" . This notation appears in : man fsck....
I wish to pursue a bug description since this indicates a cross OS fault with win98 file systems/HDD.
The boot is selected in bios before initiating same.
How do I submit a bug?

Sorry I must be more careful in describing the complex problem.
I utilize a pciide card to extend hdd capability,
I change boot-up HDD in bios for four mobo HDD as is standard.
I cannot boot on pciide card hdd's.
I have win98 on sec-slave, with no other OS partitioned.
I have slackware 9.0 attached to pciide slot sec-master with no partitions to other OS's.
I have slackware 9.1 attached to pri-master when used as the in-use HDD. It has access to partitions on arch, win98, and slckware 9.0.
I can install arch in pri-slave when using slackware as OS.
I can install arch as OS and slackware 9.0 as pri-slave and have access to partitions on all other HDD.
I also have a USB HDD which is accessible from the OS in all cases.
The problem in arch 0.5 is that after setting up the accessibilities in Linux and win98 HDD's, at next reboot I could not pass fsck. This condition persisted until I removed the win98HDD which cleared the problem.
In win98, the OS does not recognize any Linux HDD's.
In arch0.5, the presence of win98 HDD prevents arch 0.5 from booting.
I read ....."man fsck"... and it refers to drives as "/dev/hda...etc" and this type of ID does not apply to kernel 2.4.21 which uses /dev/discs/discX/partx and therefore I feel therein lies a bug. This seems to be true since I am booting kernel 2.4.21 in arch0.5 which ID's hdd's in a mode other than specified in fsck.
If fsck "sees" the win98HDD through the /dev/hdx search(supposedly a multiple parallel hdd check) it most certainly will fail the arch0.5 boot-up AFAICT.
Perhaps I have improved your understanding of my problem..I use lilo for booting and have ....append="hde=ide-scsi ide=reverse" to allow for pciide ID after mobo ID and to enable cdrw in pcide slot primary-pri.
If further info needed, I am ready to try.

Paying for Verizon iPad with Gift Card

If I purchase a $250 gift card from Verizon, would I be able to use it to pay for prepaid Verizon iPad service, instead of a credit card?
Thanks.

Called Verizon and they said you can't. You would need to purchase a prepaid visa or mastercard.

Driver Problems with two Cards installed

I have, for some time now been running 3 screens (required for my flight sim), the primary off of an AGP FX5600, the other 2 off of a PCI 5200. Having recently attempted to update video drivers I ran into problems in that the whist the 5600 is happy with the latest drivers the 5200 wasn't so I had to backout the update.
I assume, therefore, that my 5600 will always, as a consequence, be held back by my 5200's requirements or is there something I can do about this.
I have been thinking along the line of putting 2 cards of the same spec in but I'm confused by the DVI connectors shown with the newer cards i.e. I presently use the VGA connection on the 5600 (which also has a DVI which I do not use) and the 2 dual head VGA connectors on the 5200. I note that most of the newer cards only have DVI connections?
I assume that double headed DVI's means that 4 screens could be run simutaneously, a good advantage to me but can they be converted to VGA connections. I think my latest 19" Monitor has a DVI connector but the others don't and I cannot afford to purchase three new monitors as well as new cards.
Would appreciate any advice that could be given in my moment of confusion.
Thanks in advance
Mike P

Most cards that have DVI only on them include a DVI to VGA adapters.

If you mean on one card, no. The DVI is a single out connector. If you mean between the two cards, then yes. If your card doesn't have a DVI to VGA adapter you can find them, but none of my local stores carried them. I would have to order it online. It may be more available where you live.
Good Luck

I have a Cisco 881W that will no longer boot/operate properly if the internal radio card is installed.

Any chance this is a matter of a file getting deleted or corrupted or is this certainly bad hardware? The router sans Wifi appears fully functional.

KT4AV will not boot with SATA card installed and no SATA drive

I put a Promise brand SATA II card in a KT4AV motherboard. There is an IDE drive and a DVD drive hooked up to the IDE1 port on the motherboard. That IDE drive has Windows XP Pro SP2 loaded on it.
If I have a SATA drive plugged into the card, the machine works fine. If I remove the STAT drive and leave the card in, I cannot boot to Windows. If I remove the card, it works fine. The only time there is a problem is when the SATA card is plugged in and there is no drive on the SATA card.
As one possible solution, I tried to boot to a Windows CD to reload Windows. It will not even allow me to reload from the CD, it says there is a file missing from the CD. If the SATA drive is hooked up, it will work fine on the CD. Also, I tried multiple CDs and they all give the same message. Because it makes a difference whether the SATA drive is connected or not, I do not believe the CD is the problem.
I have tried looking on Promise's web site for a FAQ or an updated BIOS or for other information about this problem and I found nothing. I have e-mailed them and they did not reply yet.
There is no reason to think this is the fault of the motherboard, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas about this problem. Because of the symptoms, I believe it also cannot be the CPU, memory, PSU, video card, etc. Sorry if that makes this post off topic.

Have you tried to disable card in Device Manager when you don't use it? What is the model number of the card you are using?
It is a SATA 300 TX2, which means that it has two SATA ports and one IDE port. I have never used the IDE port, only one SATA.
I have never tried to disable it, but I could try, just to see what it did. It sure would be a lot more work to disable and enable it so that isn't a good long term solution. Among other things, it would mean that I would have to boot up in order to remove the SATA drive. Since it won't boot with the drive removed, it will require more planning.
Will post the results once I have tried. Still no reply from Promise :-(

Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

There are two options:
1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
available at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.
