Why does my iPad keep saying no SIM card installed?

I have an iPad 2 IOS8. It keeps saying I have no SIM card installed, why is that and why do I need a SIM card?

Hi CusMan!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot that issue:

The article is written toward iPhone users, but the steps for troubleshooting on the iPad are the same. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • Why does my ipad keep saying "cannot load video"

    my ipad keeps freezing up when im watching a tv show ive purchased on itunes and then says "cannot load video". has anyone come across this?

    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    How much Available storage space do you have?

  • Why does my ipad keep saying incorrect username or password when i try to set up my mail.

    I have both the iphone and now the ipad. My mail works fine on my iphone, The emails are my own for my own businesses but i have never had a problem with the settings (pop3). My wife has emails also for the same companies and they work fine on her iphone.
    BUT when i try setting yup the same mail accounts on my ipad it keeps telling me the unsername or password are incorrect - i know they are not. I did wonder if it was down to the fact that i wanted to set it up on two devices (couldnt see why this would be an issue but thought it worth trying) so i set up a brand new email account and i am still getting the same response - it will let me send emails from the ipad BUT it will not receive them. I have deleted it and re-installed it but always the same message
    Just upgraded to IOS6 but i still get the same issue
    Help me please as this is driving me mad

    how are you connecting to the internet?
    think is many mobile network providers block various ports which some mail services rely on

    Why does my cellphone keep saying that "estimating time remaining" when I try to upgrade the system?
    Is there anyway to fix this situation?

    Hi Eric_Sun,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to update your iPhone using iTunes on a computer if your device only shows "estimating time remaining" when you try to update wirelessly:
    If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
    If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
    Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    Plug in your device to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
    Click Download and Update.
    If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.
    You can find these steps here:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    It might be because the billing address you provided doesn't exactly match your bank records.  It has to match your statement exactly.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.
