The Nano-SIM slot in iPad Air cannot working

I have iPad Air (WiFi + Cellular) since a year ago. Its capacity is 32 GB (26.6 GB net) and its iOS version is 8.1.3. I didn't have any problems recently, but its Nano-SIM slot is damaged and cannot be used anymore. It happened when I put my iPad on a bed, then it got bounced and fell to the floor. Luckily, the battery is in good condition and able to be recharged. Its WiFi, apps, and other components can be used as usual.

It sounds as if what you have is an iPad 2 WiFi+3G from Verizon. It will have no SIM slot and will only work on CDMA networks (for all practical purposes, only on Verizon's CDMA network).

    You can't. The nano SIM is 15% thinner compared to its previous two generations, so even if it is cut in the same size, the thickness would be different, meaning the cut micro SIM cannot fit into the nano SIM slot.

    Thanks. It needed more pressure than I expected!
    Didn't want to break it when it's less then 24 hours old!

    i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
    That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

  • How to insert sim card in ipad air

    how to insert sim card in ipad air

    You should be able to use the sim eject tool (or something like a bent paperclip if you don't have it) to remove the sim card holder from its slot on its left-hand side so that you can inser the nano sim card into it 

  • Wil ipad air 4G work in the Netherlands on Vodadone network? (A1475)

    Wil ipad air 4G work in the Netherlands on Vodadone network? (A1475)
    i mean on their 4G network?

    May I ask which iPhone you use and which carrier you use whilst visiting the uk.as some still don't have 4g in many areas
    I have an iPhone 5 on Verizon (CDMA). I am not entirely sure which carrier I use while in Europe. A friend gets the SIM and sends the SIM to me and it is GSM. The SIM slot on my phone is unlocked for GSM as are all Verizon phones with a SIM slot. When I leave the US
    I remove my Verizon SIM (required for LTE/4G) and install the European SIM. The day I travel my friend activates the SIM and I have phone service as soon as I land. The data is limited to 3G or less. Not a real problem as anywhere I go I can generally get WIFI. I just use the data when I am traveling on the train to get schedules and platform information.
    Newer models of the phones may support the LTE/4G bands in Europe so that may no longer be an issue. It could also be the provider my friend uses has limited or no LTE/4G service.
    You need to carefully consider the warranty issue. If you buy the phone in the US you will have no warranty in Europe. That may be a very real and significant hassle if you have problems with the phone.
    I suspect the phones cost more in Europe because of VAT and import duties. We host exchange students from Europe and they generally buy an iPhone when they are living here. I tell them to leave the box and any packing here so that when they go through customs they will not be dinged for duties and if asked where they got the phone just say they brought it with them. Although customs figures almost everyone has a phone and will not be at all concerned about a phone that is not in a box.

  • TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

    Cannot send email with new iPad air.  Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.  I have deleted account and reinstalled.

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics. 

  • The glass on my new ipad air was broken one day. I have had it for about a month. 1 day I took it out of its case as usual and the screen was splintered at the top and cracked downwards.  It had not received any bangs, or been dropped or anything.  Help!

    Hi, I have had my ipad air for about a month.  The other day I took it out of its cover and it was splintered from the top with downward cracks.  It is new and under warranty so I rang the support team.  They told me that it would cost about €120 but could be repaired on the spot and they made me an appointment at the local genius bar.  I got there and they told me that I had dropped it or banged it or something.  I said I had not, they insisted that I must have done.  I repeated several times that I had not - it was obvious they did not believe me, they said I must have done.  They then told me they never repaired or replaced broken glass in any ipads, that the man on the 'Support' had been wrong.  They always replaced the whole ipad at a cost of €300.  I was devastated at not being believed and at the amount of money they were asking for.  I left and rang the support again.  I was told their system was down but to call on monday to get a quote for the reparation, I could send it to my home insurance company and they would undoubtedly cover the repair.  I asked how long this was all going to take because, I was in the middle of a big project and this was taking up my time, and also I needed the ipad for my work.  They told me it would be done in a minute.  I rang on the Monday and I was told it would take up to 5 days to send but probably it would arrive sooner (it is now thursday, I have received nothing).  I then rang my household insurance, a big company - and they told me they had never heard of such a cover.  I asked if this was because I had a very basic policy, they said, no it wasn't that - I didn't have a basic policy I had quite thorough policy, but they didn't know of a policy in any comany that would cover this sort of damage.  I was stunned - yet again I had been given false information and false hope by apple.  Yet again I was let down.  I then decided to do a further investigation on the internet and discovered a long trail of comments on Apple Forum of people who have also had splintering and cracking of the ipad air glass for no reason whatsoever.  Some have commented that the glass could be thinner in order to reduce the weight, some have said that the splintering could be caused by a weakness in the casing at the top where it is plastic (the ones that take sims) that might make it more flexible and therefore liable to crack.
    All of the posts and complaints on the apple forum and elsewhere seem to point to a design fault.  However throughout all this I have been mislead by apple support staff constantly who all say different things, I have virtually been accused of lying by denying that my ipad received any kind of impact by apple staff and I have been left feeling incredibly frustrated and upset by the total lack of any kind of real help by Apple.  All this despite being acomplet apple user in my business for the last 25 years, where I have never come across this attitude towards me as a customer before.
    When the screen on my iphone broke, it was because I fell in the street while I was talking on the telephone, it flew out of my hand and smashed on the pavement.  I was rolling around in agony, while my son was holding up the smashed telephone wailing 'Mama, you've smashed your iphone!!!'  This of course, I blamed on noone but myself - it broke because it fell, I paid an arm and a leg without protest to get it repaired.
    This is not the case with my new ipad air.  It has splintered for no good reason at all - and noone at Apple seems to want to help me or to care!
    I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me if there is anything else I can do to ge this matter resolved?

    If it was a refurb replacing one that was under warranty, the warrany is good until the original warranty expires or 90 days from replacement, whichever is longer. In either event, it should still be covered if you've only had it for a month. (assuming you're in the US here). You can try to restore it as a NEW device rather than restoring from your backup, but this sounds like a hardware failure... I think. I'm not sure what you mean by "the top half of the screen slides". If you mean only the top half is touch sensitive, how can you determine that? You wouldn't be able to slide to unlock if that were the case...
    Sorry, I'm a little confused by that description.

  • Can I have a replacement for my Nano SIM tray of iPad Mini?

    Hello, I just lost my nano sim tray of ipad mini 16GB white at a network carrier store. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement? I purchased the ipad in Singapore but I live in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Do I have to write to Apple in Singapore or US to ask for help? I am willing to pay for the replacement as long as I can get one for my iPad. i am afraid that Apple store in Ho Chi Minh would not help me for this stuff. Thanks much for your advices!

  • How can I get the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2?

    I Noticed that I don't have the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2. How do I get it? Cannot find it on App Store.

    Because it isn't there. The app is probably in a folder. Use Spotlight search to find it on the home screen, or check Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it restricted.

  • IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

    Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:

  • Issue with the on-screen keyboard in iPad Air running ios 7.1.2

    The onscreen keyboard on my iPad Air (ios 7.1.2) disappears abruptly while typing in a text field. Each time I was typing in the Spot Light search field (or any text field for that matter) I took great care not to tap the area on my screen other than the keyboard just to be sure the keyboard doesn't disappear on its own. I've also tried the hard reset by pressing down the power and the home button simultaneously. These fixes were only temporary and the issue in question has been coming back rather intermittently. It is very annoying to keep swiping down to open the spotlight search field each time the keyboard vanishes for no apparent reason.

    It is not a bug in iOS 7, as several hundred million people haven't commented on it.  Reset: are you holding down both buttons until the Apple logo is displayed?  If a reset doesn't fix it, try restoring the phone from the last backup. If that doesn't work, restore as a new device. If that doesn't work, take it to Apple.

  • TS1506 I have a problem opening some email attachments. They will not open in the mail application on an IPad Air

    I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
    There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem.  The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
    There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
    All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
    Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?

    What about a work-around?
    Ios 7.1 etc. has a problem with communicating with exchange.  There are lots of reports of problems with pdf files.

  • Are the any possibilities in any country of the world recover photos from IPad Air which suddenly became uncervicable without any reason. In Local Iport office I was told they will give me a new one with a guarantee? But my backup is not full.Thank u

    Good Evening! A few days ago my IPad air was working perfectly as always. In the evening I went home and when I opened the cover to swith it on I realised it doesn't work. I tried to energize the battery but got no response. I tried to make a hard reset but also it didn't help. I connected it to my PC with ITunes but it didn't see my IPad. I went to IPort office of my city, they looked, and told they will send me a new one because I still have a guarantee (my device was about 6 months). I had used ICloud but It happened so that the backup is not full and I have lost many very important for me photos of my family. ITunes copy wasn't full also. If anybody knows any Apple service in any city of the world please give me advice where to go to recover data from memory of my device. I understand it's my fault, I didnt properly take care of backup copy and also understand that the answer on my quetion is close to 100 percent negative, and such a companies probably don't exist. But will be really grateful for any advice. Thank you!

    First of all: Your iPhone "present" was most likely hacked/jailbroken. The update you did bricked it and it is now useless. Apple will not repair this.
    Second: The warranty is usually only valid for the country it was purchased in. Check before you buy.
    Third: You can set English as default language  on the iPhone . iPhone supports a myriad of diffrent languages. If you buy it Poland it doesnt matter.

  • Can I use the nano sim card from my HTC One (M8) for an iPhone 6?

    I am getting a Mac and with Yosemite, it's geared towards iPhones. So, I have decided I want to get an iPhone 6. However, I don't want to spend the extra money to upgrade through AT&T. If I order the iPhone 6 off the internet, can I put the nano sim from my current phone (HTC One M8) into the iPhone 6?

    A lot would also depend on where on the internet you are making the phone purchase from. Are you trying to purchase an AT&T phone from Apple, or something else? I'm guessing you are located in the US?
