  • Iphone not recognizing SIM card

    Since I bought my Iphone about 5 months ago, a few times it would say that there is no SIM card inserted, when in fact there had been one. I would remove and reinsert the card or do a hard shut down and restart and the problem would go away. Yesterday, as I was scanning my applications a error message came on saying it did not recognize a network. Then I noticed the functions on would not work. Basically it froze. So I restarted it. Once the apple logo went off there was an icon of a USB to be connected to iTunes, with no other functions working. I then patched it to my laptop and the error message on the laptop said that there was no SIM card in the Iphone. thinking its a SIM card problem I inserted someone elses SIM in my iphone. Same problem. I inserted my SIM in another iphone. No problem. It was not a SIM card issue. Without the iphone recognizing the SIM card the phone could not even be reset.
    I took the phone to the Service provider in Malaysia MAXIS. They said the iphone is defective and had to be taken in for repair. The problem is they will most probably replace the phone, However there policy with Apple they say is that I have to WAIT 6-8 WEEKS for a new set. How ridiculous is that?
    The worry I have now is that all my apps that I bought, what will happen to them? All the online games that I have been leveling up for months, what happens there? I could never sync my phone with my laptop when it came to the apps. It just would not sync!
    It is disappointing to think that Apple does not have a solution to customer software and program issues.

    You're right - it is ridiculous however thats not a decision made by Apple, but by Maxis. If Apple were asked to rpovide immediate replacements, they would do so and Maxis would have to pay the price. Under warranty, in other countries we can go into an Apple store and get an immediate replacement.

  • My iPhone not recognizing SIM Card

    I Have an iPhone 4. Since few days my iPhone is not recognizing my SIM Card. I tried all the suggustions for the net but none worked out. How can I recover my iPhone from this problem?

  • IPhone 5 not recognizing SIM card, I can't activate the phone.

    Hi, everybody.
    A couple of days ago, I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. I have an iPhone 4 and, as you know, they both have different SIM card sizes (4 uses micro size and 5 uses nano size). When I got the iPhone 5, I restored it to factory settings, but couldn't activate it 'cause I didn't have the nano SIM card (or SIM nano card, anyhow it goes), so I just turned it off. Next morning, I went to my mobile carrier to buy a nano SIM card (they took like 28 hours long to activate it…anyway) but the iPhone is not recognizing it, so I cannot activate it.
    I've gotten stuck in the white "Hello" screen for like 3 days already and I'm running desperate 'cause I wanna use my stupid iPhone 5…
    Please, guys, any help?
    EDIT: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a way to restore it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes 'cause he said that from iPhone 4S onwards all phones have to be restored with a SIM card inserted. Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…

    EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
    Please, help

  • Not recognizing SIM card.

    I just updated my iphone to 4.3.5 and it said I had to restore my iphone and then after it finished restoring my computer no longer recognized that it had a SIM card in it. I already tried taking it out and putting it back in and it doesn't work! help! I have a macbook pro.

    If it started after an update, its probably something in your software that's broken.
    Try a DFU restore, following the instructions in this document:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    That will help to rule out software as a point of failure.
    If the issue persists, consider making an appointment at your local Apple Store Genius Bar to seek a resolution.

  • 5310 XpressMusic: not recognizing SIM card when tu...

    Hi,
    Just got a 5310 XpressMusic earlier this month. Using the SIM card from my old phone (~ 3 years old).
    If I shut the 5310 off and restart it, it'll come up with a screen that says something like:
    OK to start without SIM card? Accept / Reject.
    If you select Accept, the phone starts but you basically can't do anything useful with it. Reject, and the phone shuts off.
    If I open up the case and press down on the SIM card while I turn the phone on, it starts up normally and the phone continues to work even when I slide the back plate back on and use it normally.
    So my problem is basically solved, but I don't feel that this should be happening with a brand new phone. However, perhaps the problem is more with the SIM card; is it too old? Has anyone else had similar problems?
    thanks
    d

    you may need to update the sim card as some settings such as wap are based on card like to send mms etc bring it to shop with network your on they should update sim for free
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

    i have problem with my iphone, it;s never lock and not read sim card, before reinstaling 6.01, thnx juliany

    If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work.  If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

  • Older iMac not recognizing AirPort card

    I manually installed an AirPort Extreme card in my G4 iMac. I followed the instructions exactly. However, it's not showing up anywhere in the Network Preferences. It's like I never installed it. I think I did everything right, I even went back and did it again, still to no avail.
    Is there something I'm missing here? Remove screws, plug in card, restart computer, right?
    Part of what be my problem is I'm using a newer iMac that does have an AirPort card built-in as a base station, (or, at least, that's the plan- is nothing showing up because I don't have a real base station?). Maybe I'm totally wrong about all this, but I don't think that should stop my computer from not recognizing the card.
    It is an older card, bought refurbished from the Apple Online Store.

    Which G4 iMac did you install the card into? Does it have a clock speed of 1 GHz or faster? Click on the Apple menu and select "About this Mac".
    Assuming the clock speed is 1 GHz or faster, run System Profiler and look in the "AirPort:" field. If the card is not recognized, the field will be blank.

  • Note'3 Sim Card Holder not so User Friendly..

    According to Mr. K the new Galaxy Note 3 has no Spring Loaded mechanism to help Pop out the Sim Card and it Can be a little hard to remove the Card from the Device:. Follow the Link to Droid Life for the rest of the info:. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/15/how-to-remove-galaxy-note-3-sim-cards/

    If the holder cannot be re-inserted even without the sim card, I would suspect that the eject mechanism has to somehow be reset.

  • 400 mhz G4 PB not recognizing Airport card

    HELP!!! i'm a PC girl learning Mac, and bought a used G4 powerbook to try it out. I then purchased a used Airport card to go wireless. However the computer is not recognizing the card. It is installed correctly- barcode up, all the way in, but no go. Is there anyway to test (like will a trip to the Apple store help or will they look at me like i'm from the dark ages?) the computer or the card? I was going to attempt to harvest the card from my snow base station but don't have a star tip for my screwdriver to get into the thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!! THANKS!

    Thanks brody. That is the card I have. I was guessing at the OX I have as I bought this machine used and truly have no idea where to find half the stuff much less what it is. since I figured out where to find it, I'm running 10.4.11.
    I appreciate everyone's help. I've had the hardest time figuring out just which model I have. i've yet to find a picture just like it. I'm not even sure it's a 12, since dummy me didn't realize they're like tv's and measured diagonally. I think it might actually be a 15 inch if that makes a difference. 2 hinges in the back, all the ports in the back under a cover (I must have looked rather comical until I figured that one out) card slot is on the left side, dvd drive in the front. I was told it was a titanium but honestly it didn't matter to me so I didnt' check to make sure. I just wanted something relatively cheap to see if I really liked a mac before i plunked down a couple of thousand on a new one. It wasn't until I had trouble with the card that I found out all these different ones existed.
    also, it looks like there are actually 2 slots to the card reader, although I cannot access it from the battery bay. The slot I can access that the card does actually fit in is from the left outside. the other slot is under it (I can see it with the keyboard off and the card removed) and looks as thought the card would be inserted similar to the one i can use, except the body of the powerbook is in the way. I'm afraid to do much more than I have hardware wise as my PC kicked the bucket so this is my only working computer right now. Let me know what you guys think!!
    THANKS!!!

  • I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

    I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

    Exactly, what do you mean by "does not accept sim card"? Are you saying you purchased a carrier locked iPhone & you can't use a sim from a different carrier? If so, that's the way it works. Carrier locked iPhones can only be used/activated on the carrier's network the phone is locked to. Either return it for a refund or contact the carrier the phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking.
