Will a new sim card erase previous owner apple id
I have a new preowned iPad. The ipad was reset but when I try to log in it is asking me for the previous owner apple id. My question is, if I buy a new SIM card for my iPad will that fix that issue?
Thank you,
Maria Esther
No, if the iPad is on the activation screen then only the previous owner's id and password can remove the iPad from their account (either directly on the phone or by he/she logging into their account on http://www.icloud.com) : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account.

iPad 2 started saying no sim, exactly 1 yr old. Went to get new sim which also failed to work, seemed to be a Lot of people experiencing same problem. 3 store said apple knows its an issue. Tried everything suggested in forums, took it to apple store for full restore. Nothing helped. Apple store said I had to buy new iPad as mine was 10 days out of warranty. Please help, surely this. Can't be the case. I thought apples customer service and products were good. I am fixed into a 2 yr 3 g contract with a year to go.
Hi Debbie, it was a nightmare tried 3 new sim cards non worked. Apple refused to help as it was 10 days out of warranty and i hadnt extended the warranty I hunted Internet and asked couple of American techie guys from my geeks . It seemed to be issue with latest iOS upgrade and my problem happened after I upgraded to its 5.1.1 eventually I had to sit in Apple store with printout of all other affected users. It seemed Americans had been offered new iPads and problem was being acknowledged but not here. Although network providers said they had a lot of customers with same issue. I did get new iPad after long battle and had to pay for extended warranty. Good luck

WHICH CARRIERS WILL ALLOW ME KEEP MY PHONE NUMBER WITH NEW SIM CARD?
WHICH CARRIERS IN USA WILL ALLOW ME TO KEEP MY PHONE NUMBER WITH NEW SIM CARD ON AN IPHONE 5S?
thank you.
i did not know that it was different from normal writing where one might use all caps to cull the attention of the public---as in a newspaper advertisement selling an item and the caps would be intended to make the ad stand out from other advertisements. i'm old school i guess but im learning & i thank you.
Did not intentionally try to yell at the readers. Hope i didn't wake anyone up!!! Again, my apology. Thanx. -

I found an iphone over one year ago. Its locked with a passcode. I kept waiting for the owner to call it. They never did. I went to an AT&T store today, they put a new sim card in it. and told me to go home, log on to itunes, and restore the phone to "factory settings".But itunes says the phone is locked and it needs the passcode to reset it to factory settings.
Any workaround? Or, am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks so much.
JoeSounds like you may be the owner of a new phone! If you don't need or want it and no one claims it you probably can sell it. Check eBay to see what the going rate is.
You are to be commended for at least trying to find the owner. Many wouldn't.
Best.

I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??
Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first. -
I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone? There seem to be differeing opinions on this.
Iphone 4s only has one version so it should work world wide in any carrier..As long as it's and unlocked version ofcourse.

Help! - iPhone 2g will not activate with new sim card
I have been given an iPhone 2g for my son. Have activated a new sim card as 02 said this was the reason I could not activate on iTunes. Still cannot get the phone activated. I have reset all settings so am now lost as to what to do next!
I have tried that but the phone is not being recognised when I connect it to iTunes. I keep getting a message on the phone saying "new sim detected - please connect to iTunes". When I connect to iTunes I get the message "unable to activate - please try later - disconnect the phone" - very, very, frustrating. Didn't have any problems at all when my older son took over my iPhone 3G and put a 3 sim in it (after being unlocked).

Hi @Jenny7733! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
You need to perform a security wipe on the device first before you can login with a new BlackBerry ID credentials. Please see: How to delete all data and applications from the BlackBerry smartphone using the Security Wipe optio...
Don't forget to perform a backup because it will delete all your data. Goodluck!

"Unable to load network list" on new sim card overseas on unlocked iphone 4
I recently bought an Iphone4 (unlocked) from australia. While traveling overseas I inserted a new sim and got the message "unable to load network list", and could not activate my new sim card. Could not find the answer on the discussion board here but got in touch with my provider back in oz who helped me.
Solution: You need your laptop with Itunes on it. Turn the phone off, then connect to your laptop with Itunes already running and then turn the phone on. When you click on your phone icon in Itunes it will say "Congratulation, your iphone is unlocked". You can then eject your phone and your new sim is activated.
Hope this helpsSorry not sure why your new sim card isn't supported...not sure if it helps but I had my laptop connected to wifi at the time also, but I don't think it should matter. Its worth a try connecting to internet with ITunes on, connect your phone and then turn it on and see what happens.

" fault code,,,,,waiting for activation, this may take some time,,,,," O2 gave my gf the contract and the new sim card to go into my old iphone 3g which was with O2 previous, O2 have assured us that the phone's imei number is not blocked, they have also said the sim is activated and there is no reason why the phone should not work. the phone is out of date warranty. the sim card does work in other handsets, also my sim from my iphone 3gs does not work in the iphone 3g. i have spent hours litterally on the phone to O2 and now to apple, but because i am out of warranty apple want £25 just to even listen to me over the phone. someone please help me. i am getting very frustrated for hopefully what might be an easy fix for someone. i have done all the resets that are possibly humainly possible, i have done all the resores you can do, have sync'd on many occasions all to come up with the same fault. i am still getting O2 in the top left corner but with no bars and when trying to call it fails imediately. wifi is fine, it works as an ipod.
ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS 5, it refused to read my att SIM Card. I went to the Apple store (Lennox Mall, Atlanta Georgia) for help, they told me that it was an Att problem, and needed me to get a brand new Sim Card from Att. I went to Att and replaced my SIM Card to a new one. I later returned to the Apple store, but the phone still didn't work. The apple techs blamed the att network, and stated I needed to go home and wait for 24-48 hrs, and retry the att network again, and hopefully the phone will work. The next option they gave me was to pay $200.00 to get a replacement because my phone was out of warranty.
So I basically I have a phone which has never been dropped, not abused, no water damage or what so ever. Prior to my IOS 5 update, it worked perfectly without any problems. Now, that its not working as a result of either Apple's or Att's fault, no one seems to be helping or standing behing their product. Both parties are blaming each other for the problem. Can someone help??I've seen a number of reports of this on here. In most cases where people took their phones in to the Apple store, they were given a replacement, even if the phone was out of warranty.

I have changed my account to SIM only and when I put my new SIM Card into my iPhone 4 it just says 'no service' in the top left corner, also iMessage has stopped working too. I can only use my phone on my WiFi at the moment, does anyone have any idea?
I already have, I contacted Orange yesterday and they said I will receive a text to confirm the registrastion for my new SIM Card, they said the text would arrive between 2 and 24 hours and its been over 24 hours with no text recieved

Returning iPhone 4; new SIM card
I returned my phone today and it was simple and quick. Painless, aside from returning the parts of the phone that weren't reception-related, because it is awesome in every other way.
Though I was told ahead of time, and I accept it, I will have to buy a new SIM card for my old phone. So it's not exactly a full refund, in the sense that you are out 20 bucks for your troubles. I give Apple credit for waiving the restocking fee though.
In the end I don't mind the way they handled this so much. Essentially they're saying take it or leave it and making it easy to leave it. Fair enough.Your mouth to G**'s ears. Still won't stop all the ranters and ravers out there from complaining.

I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?
You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.
