Sim cards and macbook air
Ok. So when I bought my MacBook Air, the Apple store sold me a contract with the 3 Network for broadband access. They sent me a sim card. It does not fit. Can anybody advise please?
you will need to buy a USB attachment to place the sim card in.

I hope Apple considers inserting a SIM card into the Macbook Air. It will allow access to Net in absence of WiFi, the availability still remains confined to few spots. The 11" inch device will be a better bet than even the Ipad.
Yes, majority of USB dongles will be mac compatible, often having a drivers available on the actual USB stick, or downloadable from manufacturer website. You're probably best contacting your network provider for best offer.
Alternatively, you can create wireless hotspot on your iphone and connect your macbook to it. That way you are using your phone's internet connection on the macbook.

what can i do if my iPhone cant read the sim card and couldn't be activated and when connecting it to my macbook it says no sim card installed
This Apple doc might help ya out -> iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service or No SIM
If those tips don't take care of it, try contacting the carrier to get another SIM. -
I purchased a used iphone 5 on ebay which a.) had no sim card, and b.) still had a passlock code. tried to activeat the phone via itunesbut as soon as I plugged the phone into the mac, the red and green lights began flashing the the computer then shut down, and will not power back up. Any suggestions??
Return the defective phone to the seller, and hope that it didn't burn out your logic board. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to find out whether it did.

Sharing screen, iPhone and MacBook Air
Hi All iPhone and Mac users!
I have tried to use google but without any success to find answer for my question.
Have you anyone succesfully shared your iPhone's screen to your MacBook?
I have an situation here where I should run some applications in iPhone and share it to "screen" using MacBook.
Is there any app for this, any supported ways without jailbreaking my iPhone?
Br.
KimThank you for replying so fast
This helped me a lot, unfortunately this xcode is not exactly what I'm looking for because I'm using application which uses SIM card and telephony functionality. But Apple TV looks like a solution and maybe this product could be very useful for many other stuff too!

I erased an iphone on find my iphone , so i wanted to know what happened and I erased my without a sim card and now I says I cant go on it until i put in a sim card. Did i ruin the phone please help thanks.
You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines! I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel. When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air." What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what. I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help please. Thanks.
Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

Hi there, is it possible to replicate the content of one iphone on a UK sim card to anotehr iphone with a Spanish sim card and carry both devices, actice, for my work purposes?
certainly. Synch one of your phones to iTunes. Then restore the other phone from the first phone's backup.

The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today instead of my old phone (not an iphone). I have not seen any such steps. Help?
I suspect the salesperson that told you that meant your online account with your carrier...have you tried logging into your carrier account online? To do this will require the sim number on your sim card, as well as the phone's IMEI number...you get the sim number off the sim card & the IMEI number, for the phone, is printed on the box.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.
Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup. -
My iphone 5 broke so had to get a sim card and put it in my husbands old iphone 4. i can not figure out how to get my imformation on this his old phone; contacts, apps ect. i have switched my icloud account and apple id on the phone but nothing has changed. please HELP!
You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first. -
I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for a program or app that I can sync though iCloud that will allow me to us all of these devices to track time spent on projects each day along with the ability to add specific information about each project. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
I recommend you consider Omnifocus. It is a task management program which runs on the Mac, Iphone & Ipad. I use it for task management and project management. It let's you store additional information as well. I sync all three devices through a Mobile Me account and I can enter data on any device and it is available on all devices. I believe you can also sync through Dropbox. I'm not sure that you can sync through iCloud yet. The link to their website is: www.omnigroup.com. There may be less expensive alternatives, but this one meets my needs and syncs very well across all devices.
