I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch.  It does have a sim card in it and it has been reset. For some reason it will not pick up my wireless network in my house, or any other wireless network.  What could be the problem?

Is this the problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • HT204135 My computer is connected to my Epson printer but for some reason it will not print, it has a wifi connection but is not connecting for some reason, what can I do to resolve this matter?.

    My printer is not connecting with my computer via Wi-Fi, want can I do to fix this problem?.

    Exactly what is going on with my Epson XP 810.  I will reset my modem and it will print one or two pages and then say "Searching for printer" and it will never find it unless I reset the modem.  Was working fine last week so I don't know what changed. 

  • I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

  • I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

    I have an old AOL email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure. Any way I can find out what I used it for in the past?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address.  If it is, remove it.  Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
    If that fails...
    Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
    You'll need to speak to someone in account security.  They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information.  If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.

  • IPad2 won't sync with iMac...only my iphone4 shows in the device window on my iMac.  For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network!

    iPad2 won't sync with iMac and only my iphone4 shows in the devices window on my iMac.  For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network!   The iPad will sync when plugged into the Mac however looses connection and disappears from the device window when unplugged.

    You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
    If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
    Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
    Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
    You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

  • So I just upgraded to an iphone 5 from a 4s becaused the screen did not work any longer, however, my 4s still works so I've got everything still but for some reason it will only transfer half my music to itunes so I can't get all my music onto new phone

    Hi there
    So I just changed from an iphone4S to an iphone 5 because my screen didn't work any longer on the 4s but the phone itself still works so I managed to get all my contacts etc BUT for some reason I can't transfer all my music across to itunes and therefore I can't get it onto my new phone, it only transfers about 50% of it.
    Then when i go into music on the iphone 5 it shows the music but won't let you play anything and just flicks through all the songs without playing anything.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you

    Thank you - I thought that might be the case BUT why doesn't the music play that I have bought from itunes - do you happen to know please.
    All that happens is it just flicks through it all and won't play any of it???
    As in I select the song and it just flicks back one screen (if I am making sense).....
    I am really stuck and cannot work out what's gone wrong that's all.
    Considering a reset of my new iphone and trying again but done that once and it's still the same.

  • How do you get password on old .mac account that has been changed? For some reason my iphone updates wants old mac acct password.  Can I change that to new one I've had for years?

    Years and years ago when I paid for an email address with mac.com I opened my itunes account and all.  After getting tired of paying for an email account I made a new one, which I can't remember but I thought I changed it, but obviously the .mac stayed on.  My itunes is a gmail account and I have no problems there.  But today when I updated my iphone, after downloading, iphone asked me to enter password for the .mac account.  Well I have no idea what that is now.  I don't know how to even retrieve it.  I can't find the settings to change it over to my gmail account either on my phone.  I go to itunes and it has the gmail account listed, but when trying to activate some things that involved the update, it still asks for .mac account password.  I'm beginning to think this is why I can't get authorization on some of my itune songs to play, they keep saying can't authorize when I am still within the 5 computer limit.  I think I'm going to get a Droid...

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

  • Iphone 4s and ipod touch when we go into apps store and click on a app whether free or paid it will not register it does nothing.

  • I cannot change my default search engine, despite trying all your suggestions. A friend suggested an add on- google default but for some reason Firefox is not

    I have recently had the problem of Yahoo search becoming my default search engine. I loathe Yahoo having had many problems with them in the past so refuse to use them. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing...no change. I tried all your suggested fixes and none works. There is now no mention of Yahoo when I go to change search settings, but despite this Yahoo is the default search engine. This is intolerable for me and I am seriously on the verge of removing firefox for good. Stop me!!! I am having to send this in a different search engine as in Mozilla firefox this account is inactive...work that one out! It means there is no point giving you troubleshooting info...

    You may have ad / mar-ware changing your settings.
    First, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't

  • I have Oracle Wireless Bluetoth Headset NoiseHush N500 and for some reason it will not connect to my iPhone 4.  Can Apple send me a bluetooth headset that is compatiable with the iPhone 4?

    Can Apple please send me a compatiable bluetooth headset?

    This is a user to user forum.  But I'm sure Apple would be happy to send you a compatible Bluetooth headset if you purchase one from the Apple Store.  You could also order one from someplace like Amazon.com.

  • I purchased an app but deleted it after some time, now I would like to restore the purchase but for some reason it's not showing up in my purchases, it's saying that I have to pay for it over again. What do I do

    How do I restore this app ?

    Are you sure you are selecting the correct app in the App Store? Some apps have two different versions for the phone and the iPad and if you are looking at an iPhone version of the game, then it would show up as having a cost associated with it since it would be a separate app.
