Hello
This is my first posting. I have been having problems with my iPad and just cannot figure it out. I have the last OS on my mac, the latest iTunes and the latest iPad firmware. I own a 32GB Wifi+3G UK iPad bought in the UK via Apple. Here is the problem:
So, I have changed my iPad, changed my SIM but still the same problem. If I restore the iPad without the SIM and use it as a Wifi only version, it works fine. The problem is when I try and use 3G/SIM card. I am happy to use it as a Wifi only version, but having paid extra for the 3G I would quite like to use it.
I'm at a loss - any ideas welcome!
This is my first posting. I have been having problems with my iPad and just cannot figure it out. I have the last OS on my mac, the latest iTunes and the latest iPad firmware. I own a 32GB Wifi+3G UK iPad bought in the UK via Apple. Here is the problem:
- Received new iPad and activated OK via iTunes
- iPad SIM card arrived from Orange. Put it in iPad and activated it.
- Worked for a few days but then iPad displayed 'connect to iTunes' screen.
- Connected to iTunes and received an error message (attached)
- Had to restore iPad and go through activation again.
- This happened around 20+ times in two weeks
- Took iPad to Apple Store and after testing it they agreed to replace iPad with new one
- New iPad arrived and used it for several weeks without any problems without SIM in it
- Requested a new SIM from Orange (in case the SIM was faulty)
- When new SIM arrived put in in iPad and activated it via iTunes (including downloading latest carrier settings)
- After 2 days was presented with 'connect to iTunes' screen again - did this and had to restore
- Same cycle started repeating itself etc with me getting 'connect to iTunes screen', having to restore etc etc
