Sims card not recognized

I went to update my sister 3gs and after the update from 4.3 to 5.0.1. the phone is asking for a valid sims card and I can't activate it. (its is not jailbroken either.) I was working fine before the update. I bought a new sims and nothing. even checked blow in the slot and nothing. I even restored it in a new windows pc and still nothing. What else can i do to fix this problem?

yes the SIM is from the same carrier, which is AT&T. Took it to the AT&T store and they could not help. they directed me to the apple store. so i sent my little sister to the apple store and she told me that they couldn't help. Knowing that I my work on computer. that might be still a chance to repair this problem with a new software update, that I am also suprice apple has not rolled out with one after the jailbreak that happens weeks ago.

Droid charge SIM CARD not recognized by Verizon Wireless.

every time when i login to pay my bill this comes up first
Your SIM card is in a device that is not recognized by Verizon Wireless. Some services & features may not perform as expected.
and the phones are two months old

Dear zajche,
You are using the "My Verizon" app to try to pay your bill, correct? Once you tap the My Verizon icon, how far do you get before you see this message?
What steps if any have you taken to try to correct or diagnose the problem? Have you removed and reinstalled the SIM card? Did you do a soft reset? Hard reset?
Please provide this and any other information you can think of, so that perhaps someone on this forum can help. Thanks!

My phone was jailbroken but connected through Bell after I bought it. Recently (today) I upgraded to 4.3.4 and now have no date or phone - SIM card not recognized. Any ideas ?

Not really sure how this works, but here goes.
I bought an IPhone on EBay over a year ago.
3GS.
I found out I had to have it jailbroken since it had already been connected to AT&T.
I did that and hooked up to Bell and it has beens working fine ever since.
Today, foolishly, after phoning the Apple Store and being told it was perfectly OK, I upgraded to 4.3.4
Now it does not recognize the SIM card.
Is there anyway to correct this?
My own stupidity.
Thanks
Ben

They don't need to Restore it, you have already done that. Why would you want Apple to Restore it again?
If you are wanting them to roll it back to a previous iOS version that could be jailbroken, no they will not do that.

Have you double checked the SIM is inserted the right way?
If that doesn't help, you might want to contact the seller for a replacement.

GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
pci10de,a:
Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x252
Revision ID: 0x00a3
I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just for clarification:
You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

Iphone 5 SIM card not installed or no service

Hi from lady few weeks I am having this problem where phone says SIM card not installed or no service. Turning the phone on and off does work but it happens at least ten times a day. I have got a new SIM card thinking its a problem with the SIM card.
But now I have noticed the moment I switch on to 3G mode from the settings it does the same thing.
Can anyone tell me is it the problem with the phone or my service carrier. I have been working iPhone for almost two years never had this problem before.
I am using iPhone 5. Thanks

Have you followed all steps in the article below?

How long it takes to repair an Apple iPad with the error "sim card not detected". The ipad is in Apple since 19 January and still has the status "Repair in Progress".

There is no way any fellow user here can know anything specific about your repair status. You will need to call Apple and ask them yourself.

Sim Card Not Found

Each day at random times my phone goes out stating Sim card not found. i was hoping there was a fix in todays update but of course no update. i have been travelling so i cannot back up etc. I have done the reset, the hard reset, and plug into the electric cord, and eventually it does come back but i miss the calls, messages etc. which happen durring this period. What is the fix for this?

If it is an iPhone 4 it is on the side. Bend a paper clip, insert it into the hole, push and the tray will come out. Pay attention to how the microsim is seated and be sure not to bend or damage the tray.

Hai sir, i am using using 3gs, my iphone always showing sim card not installed pls tell me wat to do , in local apple store 3000rs to get reapair for that

Install a SIM card.
If you have and the error is still occurring the a hardware issue most likely exists.

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

SIM card not found message?

Since upgrading to the 2.0 software my iphone has shown the message SIM card not installed. I have had to reboot the iphone to reestablish the connection. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have the same problem, I tried to change to the official provider in Belgium (having bought the phone in USA) but that didnot help either...
The SIM card is working in a normal GSM....

Sim card not valid after update to ios 5

just updated to iOs 5 on an AT&T iphone 4....says sim card not valid

Just to make sure it wasn't a PC/Mac issue I have tried the following on each of 2 different windows PC's and a Mac & a MacBook Pro:
New installation/download of the Software update for iPhone 4, and each time putting the phone into recovery mode. I have also been using a new micro sim from O2 - obtained first thing this morning.
You do the maths on how much time this has taken, and guess what it still doesn't work....!
This has to be the most direct way of getting someone to upgrade to a new phone - the day before a new iPhone comes out - coincidence.......hmmm.
Just as a point of interest the iPhone was replaced in May this year, so is relatively new.
I do find it had to believe that there is no word from Apple as to the reason &/or a resolution.
COME ON

After updating 6.1.2 Sim Card Not Installed

Hi, I updated my I phone 4 this morning and when I turned my phone back on it said "sim card not installed". It was totally fine before the update and I haven't had any issues before this. Please help

I use Skype fairly frequently. The rather appalling rate of dropped calls does not seem to have increased with the update. It also appears to be pretty much the same as the rate of dropped calls when using my MBA.
