Why does my iPad says no sim instead of saying iPad on the top left?

I don't have a sim card but Usually the iPads without the sim card say iPad on the top left corner but mine says no sim. Please help me out.

Try taking the SIM out, blow in the hole, and then put it back in.

    Turn your iPhone off, then on again.
    Remove the SIM card and verify that it's a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it isn't damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    Have a nice day,

    My ipad display at the top left is ""ipad" vs ATT. What does this mean?

    ok.. I've had the ipad 3 years and it has always displayed "zero to 5 bars ATT" or "no service" and recently "no sim"
    It does display the fan when at home but not out of wifi range.

  • My Iphone 5s can not connect me to my network. It just says searching in the top left corner for 2 days now.

    Yesterday morning, my phone decided to kick me of my network and not let me back in. In the top left corner, it just says 'Searching...'. I have tried restarting my phone, resetting all settings and resetting network settings and nothing has decided to work for me. I then went to reset my phone but it will not let me log out of 'Find my Phone'. Therefore it did not allow me to reset my phone.
    Please can somebody help.
    Thanks.

    You'll have to unlock the phone in icloud.com/find to be able to get pass the activation lock.

  • Why does my iPad loose the connection to VPN in Stand-By?

    Hey!
    I got a problem with VPN and iOS (on iPad 2). When I connect to a VPN-Server (I tried it with different protocols exept the 'Cisco IPsec'-stuff) and the iPad goes into Stand-By, the iPad looses the connection and I manually have to reactivate it in the menu. I am very sure that this is not a problem of the server (tried also different services). Can I fix the bug myself or do I have to wait for an update?

    Sorry, that's Adobe, not Adoby.

  • Why does my iPad lose the Internet connection ?

    Why won't my iPad battery recharge?  Sent this message before & would

    I didn't do the most recent upgrade as I had problems with it when I did the previous one.  I have the  IPAD WI-FI 32GB .  It seems to be charging ok .  I did a Sync yesterday and now it won't connect to the Internet although it was working fine last evening and I didn't change any settings. 
    When I plug it in to my iMac, the iPhoto applicaiton opens and I have to open the iTunes application even though I have it set to open when I connect the iPad. 
    Appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.  Thank you in advance.

  • Why does my iPad lose the network I'm on when it goes to sleep?

    I Just moved in with someone and I have to manually join the network every time I turn my iPad on. Now all of a sudden, every time my iPad goes to sleep it loses the connection all together. I've already tried resetting the network and also location in the settings. Any other ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Why does my iPad open the app store whenever an add comes up when I'm on the internet?

    When I'm on my iPad and on the internet whenever a game app add comes up on the side it forcibly takes me to the app store to download the app without me even touching it. I have tried different browsers and they all do it.

    That's because the ad contains JavaScript which activates a URL. That URL causes the App Store to open.
    Avoid those sites which cause this. Complain to their webmasters.
    Using "Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data" may help.

  • Why does my iPhone say "Damaged" on the home screen where the date should be?

    I have never dropped my phone and it doesn't have water damage, not even exposure to high humidity. I always have it in a case and it still have the original screen protectors on it! There is not a scratch on this phone and it's only 6 months old! I didn't buy the extended warranty but I should still have the regular 1 yr warranty though right? How can I use this with out being charged for the darn phone call to apple?

  • HT1338 Why does my mac desktop screen have black smoke like areas at the top of the screen on both sides?

    I have had my IMAC now a little over a year and now all of a sudden there is black smoke like marks on the top of both sides of the screen. Like exactly where the fans are. Is this telling me the fans have caused the screen to do this? I see I am not the only one with this issue. What is going on with these computers? I am begining to think its an APPLE flaw. What a shame for those of us that didnt have an extended warranty plan. Apple I believe this is your issue and it needs to be fixed for everyone. So what am I to do with this now? Makes it very odd too look at and its spreading. What are the soulutions here?

    Do you smoke near your computer?
    The fans pull in outside air and whatever is lingering in it. The stuff in the air settles on the backside of the dislay glass.
    The "fix" is easy. Clean the glass.
    Buy two 4 inch suction cups from a hardware store. Unplug the iMac and rest it on its back on a carpet. Apply the suction cups and gently pull up. The glass is held in place by magnets.
    Clean the glass and allow it to dry. Hold it with the suction cups and set it back in place. Clean the rings made by the suction cups.
