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,
Jeremy

What is the meaning of "(MM)" in ipad (4th generation) wifi cellular (mm) ?

What is the meaning of "(MM)" in ipad (4th generation) wifi cellular (mm) ?

I don't know what the "MM" stands for specifically, but those are the CDMA models, A1455 for the mini and A1460 for the 4th-gen iPad Retina.
Regards.

They may be purchased unlocked at full price. But whether you can use them in Brazil depends on whether you have GSM service there.
Note that if you buy in the US then any warranty work will require you to bring the device to the US for service. The US warranty is only good in the US, not in Brazil. You would be better off buying it in Brazil which will also save you duty and import taxes plus US sales tax.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I dropped my phone, it says no sim card and doesn't work, where is the sim card and how can I put it back in.

Hi
I dropped my phone, now it doesn't work says no sim card. Nothing fell out, but how do I pull the sim card out, and put it back in?

IPad has a feature or insert the SIM card and use it as normal phone?

I tried to insert the SIM card into the drip tray iPad but was too small. iPad has a feature that is inserted into the SIM card and the normal operation of the phone?

The only way to use an iPad as a phone is via one of the Voice-Over-IP services such as Skype.
As to your SIM issue, the iPad requires a micro-SIM, and you apparently tried to use a standard SIM. But such SIMs get you access to data services only; as pjl123 said, the iPad has no phone capability built in.

On my ipod touch 4th generation, it somehow got into recovery mode and won't restore! Help please!

I have been searching on this topic for hours and i haven't found an answer that works so i decided to post the question myself. So on my iPod touch 4th gen., it got into recovery mode somehow and when i plug it in it says something like "ipod in recovery mode, please restore". well i clicked restore and it went through the whole process then said "ipod can not restore. an unknown error ocurred (28)". I have the newest software on the computer and ipod, i restarted my computer a number of times, i changed USB ports, no other USB is plugged in and i just don't know what else to do. The screen is just black and won't turn on. I've tried the hard restart and everything!! pleaseeeeeee help!!

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

My 4th generation ipod touch is in recovery mode and will not restore

Everytime i try to restore my ipod it loads until there is a little bit left to load and then shuts off and itunes says that there is an unknown error (9) and can not restore. Does anyone know what that means and/or what i can do?

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

I pad keeps saying no sim card and there is one in

i pad locked dont know passcode didnt put one on and it keeps saying no sim card

Hello dolly,
The troubleshooting steps are still relevant regardless of iPhone or iPad. Here is the article about a forgotten passcode on an iOS device named iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes
Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."]
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

Why does my iPhone 4 keep saying no sim card

my iphone 4 keeps randomly saying no sim card and i havent dropped it and its in a otter box but its getting really annoying. restarting the phone sometimes works, and taking the sim card out and putting it back in works but im tired of doing that all the time. how can i fix this?

You might want to get a new SIM from your carrier. If you frequently remove/replace it, the contacts may be worn.

I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
Peace, Clyde

HT4157 I have iPad 4th generation but no option for cellular what can I do

Hi everyone , I have iPad 4th generation. Today I had no wifi and wanted to connect with the cellular but could in,t find that option in my settings , what should I do

Do you have the iPad 4 with WiFi + cellular data or the WiFi-only model?
If you have the cellular model you should have a option: Settings > Cellular Data
Have you setup a cellular data plan with your carrier?

HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
This is copied from that article that I posted above.
Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.
