SIM card locks when I connect to my computer
Hi,
For some reason, my iphone's SIM card regularly locks when I connect to my MacBook Pro.
This means...without me always having time to see it, that my phone is basically out of use when I think it is charging or synching. Quite annoying, is there anything I should do about this?
I called my telephone carrier and they said they'd never heard of this problem that
Two things you can check that may be causing this: 1. Settings>Phone>Sim Pin do you have a sim pin enabled? 2. Some carriers require a PUK lock on all their sims, in the US you can get instructions on how to unlock the sim by using the PUK code online in your account info. I'm guessing that your sim either has a sim pin enabled or a PUK lock. If the latter, your carrier will need to supply the PUK code. Or, get a new sim.

Kindly update me on this whether I need to update this or not.Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -

My Iphone 5s doesn't work. When i power on appear searching the sim card, but doesn't connect to the operator. Who can help me? I reset the Iphone, but doesn't fix the probem.
ThanksHi dear!
I'm very disappointed with Apple products! I was 15 days without my Iphone 5, because it stopped working and the had to be replaced by authorized apple. Then i bought an iphone 5s in two days it stopped working. Doesn't read the sim card. I call to Apple suport and discovery that the model A1533 is not warranted in Brazil and need to be replaced, because there is a hardware problem. In a moment i don't have anyone Phone. Why Apple does not send other equipment equal to authorized to exchange my Iphone, because in Brasil doesn't have the same model? I liked a lot this Apple phone, but i can't use, i have one brand new, but doen'st work. I don't have anybody in USA to exchange in one Apple store. Please help me!
Thanks. -

I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing. -
My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted?
My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted. I can't make or receive calls. What can I do to fix this?
Did you already try to remove it and put it back again?
When changing the SIM card, power off the device prior to opening the SIM tray. After you have changed the SIM card for your iPhone you may need to reconnect it to iTunes.
iPhone keeps a record of previously inserted SIM cards, but if the carrier name of your SIM does not show up in the status bar after you changed the SIM you will need to reconnect iPhone to iTunes. If you do not connect iPhone to iTunes after changing or reinserting the SIM, iPhone may not work as expected.
If iPhone does not work with the SIM card after connecting to iTunes, you might need to restore your iPhone. Consult the iPhone User's Guide for more information on iTunes and iPhone.
If your iPhone does not show up in iTunes (on the left hand side of the iTunes window under Devices), please see the following links for assistance:
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If this does not work, contact your provider, maybe your SIM is damaged. -
If you enter your password on the ipad too many times and your sim card locks, is there a way of recovery without replacing the sim card?
That doesn't lock the SIM card, it just locks you out of the device.
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.
See this for more info... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 -
HT1414 after restoring i keep getting no sim card installed when activating.
after restoring i keep getting no sim card installed when activating.
Was the phone unlocked offically by the carrier before restoring? If it was unlocked by a hack it will be locked again after a restore or update.

Iphone 4 keeps saying Telstra Sim Card locked once in 24 hours
During a 24 hour period at least once a day I am getting Sim Card locked.
Carrier is Telstra.
Seems to be getting worse (2 or 3 times) and happens when you can least afford it.
I Power off and unlock and it comes good for a non repetative period.

BarryTook IPhone to Apple Store and was replaced within a few minutes.
Problem solved. -

My Itunes locks when I connect my Ipod classic. I have the latest version of Itunes as of 10/31/11. Anyone have any fixes?
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I have more than 1000 contacts in my etisalat sim card, but when I import the contats its stop at 750 contacts, what is wrong? i read the phone can carry thousands of contacts..what shall i do?
Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that. To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle... Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

I have just upgraded my Ipad2 to the latest operating system and on restarting it is some foreign language and is asking for the sim card number when I don't have a sim card. What do I do?
i have to apologize up front for the cheeky response. but i just couldnt resist. if your ipad is speaking in tongues. i would call a priest and perform an exorcism on it first.

I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC. I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card. I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader". Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog." I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos. Any suggestions?
The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.
