Problem with the sim

The problem is that the phone stopped detecting the sim suddenly Vovi her out and replaced and it worked but it has happened again and no longer detected at all ... the card was cut at the store because it was not microsim format could be this the cause? can serve the red button next to the place where you put the sim?. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Could be too old SIM standard, too slow chip, not a 3G SIM at all, card gets overloaded or simply was damaged in the process of cutting.
The size of the SIM is not always about only the size. There are different SIM standards, old ones are not always compatible with modern devices.
You should get new, Micro SIM card to avoid damage to the card and/or to the phone.
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.

"There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone"

I'm getting this error when I try to activate my new iPhone 4 through iTunes:
"*There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone.*
To activate your iPhone with this account, you will need a new, unactivated SIM card. Please use the SIM card that was provided with your new iPhone. If you are using the new SIM card, and are unable to complete activation, you can go to an Apple Retail Store or an AT&T company owned retail store to request an unactivated SIM. If you would prefer to have a replacement SIM card sent to you via overnight mail, please call us at 1-800-MY-APPLE. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused."
Now I've already been to AT&T and nothing they could do with the account settings would work, in fact they had never seen the issue before. They gave me a new SIM card and that did nothing as well. Finally they tried out a different SIM tray, and that still didn't work. I have a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Do you think that the SIM reader inside the iPhone 4 is broken?

I solved a problem I had with activating my iPhone although the error message was different from yours.
I got the message "There is something wrong with your iPhone and it cannot be activated, please bring it to your nearest Apple service".
Via a Chinese forum I found out its the SIM card witch is the problem. If the serial number of the SIM has a "letter" in it it won't work. If only numbers it will work.
I now tried it with 2 SIM cards with letters and got the message over and over again. Than tried with my only numbers SIM card and it activated instantly.

What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

Exactly that, there is a problem with the sim card.
The sim card is the little chip that links your iPad to the cellular providers network to get internet anywhere.
It may have moved in the tray and lost contact, it may have an actual issue, or it may be deactivated by your cellular service provider.
Contact them to have them look at it or your service and see if there is anything wrong with it.

Why having problems with the sim, not supported carrier?

My provider Orange UK has allowed me to unlock my iphone and has send to me all the steps. WHen trying to unlock my iphone, it gives me this message error
" The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iphone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information"
I bought a non Orange 3G sim card as they mentioned and there is this message. Anyone can help me to unlock my iphone?
THanks!

Have you followed all the steps for unlocking your iPhone, as listed here?

If so, did you get the "your iPhone has now been unlocked" message after you restored the iPhone?

Installation problems with The Sims 2 (disk space)

Hey, sorry to bug everyone but I have been having so much trouble trying to install The Sims 2. Whenever I try to open the installer it says..."Package Installer requires at least 1 MB of free disk space. Free up some space on your local disk and then re-lauch Package Installer"
I am so confused, I got my macbook about a month ago and it is my first mac. I didn't think I would have to "free up space on my local disk" And if I do how do I go about doing that?
Or am I just screwed? I thought if my macbook wouldn't run this game it may just be very slow because it couldn't keep up with the graphics, I didn't expect it to not even open the installer.
Please help!

I had this same thing happen. Its because you are trying to start the game from the DVD instead of the Harddrive as I recall. Make sure you are clicking on the icon in the Applications folder. It was a long time ago this happened to me and I forget all the details.

I can't call anybody, but I can receive calls. There's no problem with the sim card, and no numbers are blocked. Help me.

When I try to call, the call always failed.

From a different phone, call your cellular carrier. They need to get involved.

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up.

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up. This afternoon the NO SIM message came up and I cannot fix it. What is my next step? I am traveling in Canada now and it is not convenient to come back to the States just to get a SIM card.
Thanks,
Lou

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. How can I initiate Verizon sending me a new SIM card? I will be here long enough to receive it if they can send it to me.
I have been trying to call Verizon Wireless, but they won’t take my call from my Skype account and I don’t have my phone.
Thanks again,
Lou

Under the answer you want to mark as correct you should see a box that says Correct with a green symbol to the left and a box with Helpful with an orange star to the left. Click on the one you want.
And thanks for thinking about that, it is appreciated.

My iPhone 5 doesn't send any text messages or i messages and the problem isn't with the sim card as i tried it with another iPhone 5 and it worked fine.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

Problem with the music gallery after 2.3 update

Hello
Just recently updated my XperiaX10i (French version, not operator sim locked). No problem with the update itself and the phone seems to work properly.
But, the music gallery did first not detect the music files already in the 32Go sd card (no problem for photos, videos or other files) and didn't therefore load them into the library. I had to download them all by new through Media Go and now the library shows them, but the record sleeves do no more appear in the album list like in the 2.1 version which was very practical for selection, nevertheless the sleeves appear in background while reading a track: this looks more like some bug than anything else.
I'm also very missing the former fast launching bar application for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync and Screen Luminosity, it seems that for launching all these features one must go through the parameters file now.
As a conclusion, I can hardly see what exactly improved on this phone since version 2.1. except maybe just a little bit the speed and the quality of the screen posting.
Update from 1.6 to 2.1 was total revolution in comparison.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did already this through Media Go and the problem seems not related to some missing art covers. MP3Tag shows them, Media Go shows them, I guess Media Player would show them the same way as they were already existing before the update. I installed also Poweramp in the meanwhile on the X10 and the covers appear in the folder section, but still not in the library section which seems related to the Android library according to some start popup in Poweramp. There must be something wrong with inner codes that I’m unable to dig.
Anyway, seeing them in the PowerAMP folder is OK now.
Thanks for the help.

The problem with the warranty repair in Russia. I bought an Iphone without a contract in Paris, and now I must go there to have it repaired? In Russia, the repair takes only bought in Russia. Is this correct?

The problem with the warranty repair in Russia. I bought Iphone4 without a contract in Paris, and now I must go there to have it repaired? In Russia, the repair takes only bought in Russia. Is this correct? So I was told over the phone in service and support in the near future, I was not planning to fly to Paris. Just for the sake of repairing the phone to fly to Paris is expensive.
The problem of 100% on your phone, as trying to change SIM cards of different operator and the problem remains.
Phone is constantly losing the signal during a call, and often just disabled.
I bought 5 phones for himself, his wife and friends, and only I have these problems.
Very annoying.

Yes you will need to go back to France as the warranty is country specific except in EU countries. Or if you know anyone there they could take it to an Apple store if you posted it to them.

Please help out to solve this problem.
It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.
