My IPhone 4S wifi won't turn on. Wifi button is gray. I have tried restart and very briefly the wifi will work. Any ideas??

My 4s also grayed out the wifi setting a couple of weeks ago. I called technical support and the guy _insisted_that there is no known problem with phones with respect to IOS 6. He told me to reset the phone and restore and that would probably solve all my problems. Really, there is nothing wrong with the phone, he told me. I had tried just about everything else I had found on-line. The complete erase and restore did not work.
Then I went to the Genius Bar and they tried a few things (more resets) and they concluded wifi is not functioning but since it is out of warranty, they want $199 to replace it. $199 is not the cost of a new phone so obviously there is some concession here but not a complete acceptance of responsiblity. The Genius Bar told me that - in fact - that there is a known firmware problem with the phones and IOS6 that crops up randomly. Not with a lot of phones, just the unlucky few. If it is out of warranty, you have to pay. Fortunately, I had an extended warranty with my credit card so I can get reimbursed.
My next purchase is going to be an android tablet. I'm going to wean myself away from the Apple orchard. I want to expand my options for my next phone purchase.

I used a clorox wipe to clean my macbook keyboard and some of the keys stopped working. I tried restarting and then all the keys stopped working. Now it won't turn on. I took the battery out and flipped it upside down to let it dry. help! what do I do?

It really wasn't that much liquid but now I'm freaking out. I've always used clorox wipes and this has never happened to me. I'm going to leave it for a few days to dry just so I don't mess it up anymore. I'm debating putting it in rice. I just can't believe that small amount of liquid could ruin my macbook

The traces (copper connections) on the logic boards are pretty close together. It wouldn't take much to short two critical points out.
I hope putting it away for a few days (maybe in the warm sun) works for you. Because that is all I would have suggested.

A reset has nothing to do with Internet access or data access.
A reset is simply pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
What are you really trying to do?

Hey mjmsurrey60,
It sounds like the iDevices have gotten out of sync with the home network. I would advise a full power cycle of the circuit involved.
Unplug the 8600 while powered on
Unplug the power from the router
COMPLETELY power off the iDevices, not simply put in sleep mode. Click here for information about how to do so on an iPhone. The steps are similar for other iDevices.
Wait 30-60 seconds
Plug the router back up and wait for it to completely power back up
Plug the 8600 back in for power
Power the iDevices back up and wait for them to sync with the network again
Try to print again
Let me know the results.

Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

After updating my iphone4s to ios7, i cannot get my wifi to work, any ideas?

after updating my iphone 4s to ios7, i have been unable to access my wifi, i cant switch wifi on. any ideas?

That's because the forum rules state that surveys are prohibited.
I'm just suggesting that everybody take a good look at what is installed on their phone. Maybe remove all 3rd party apps (you can reinstall later) and reset the phone to see if the problems go away. At least that is a start. I think you will find that most people are not having problems.
Another suggestion would be to take the phone to your local Apple store (if you have one) and let them try to get it working for you.

My iphone will not connect to my home wi-fi and have tried every solution given on the internet. anybody got any help?

So i have had this iphone for under 2 months and i never usually have a problem with its wi-fi. One day suddenly it wouldnt connect to my home Sky wi-fi although it would connect to my college wi-fi which is manually connected by an IT consultant. I also tried to connect it to my dads wi-fi and it connected and then disconnected. Everytime i try to connect it just says 'Unable to connect'. Tried everything, erased everything off my phone and rebooted it, nothing will work. Someone help because im using all my 3g!!!!

TS2776 Updated iPhone software and lost all my contacts. Previous updates worked fine. Phone backed up, installed software and the music, apps etc, but no contacts. Have tried several times but no data at all. Any ideas?

Updated my iPhone with latest software and all my phone contacts have vanished. Phone backed up as normal, then installed software then re-installed music, apps etc, but no contacts.
Have updated software before with no issues. Have tried using tips from help page with no change - just a blank contact list.
Any ideas?

SimonPG63 wrote:
Sync via PC - Thought I'd backed up as it said it was backing up the phone. Having searched through here I see that the contacts aren't automatically saved! Why is that when everything else is?
Contacts are made to be synched to your computer or a cloud service. There is therefore no NEED to include them in your backup. Same reason iTunes media is not part of the backup. It's already on the computer.
SimonPG63 wrote:
Seems I've lost everything - Supposed to back up via Outlook address book I read - So why isn't that made obvious....?
Had you read the User Guide before using your phone, it would have been obvious.
Your data loss here is clearly user error and you have no one to blame but yourself. The User Guide CLEARLY outlines the way your phone should be used to minimize data loss.
Sorry, but it's time to put on your big boy pants and accept responsibility for your inactions.

Hi teinefob9,
So let me get this straight. Are you saying that when attempting to access applications that you have downloaded to your iPhone, they don't open at all no matter how much you tap on them?

Cc won't install on imac, says its damaged and to download and reinstall. tried that and can't get it to install, any ideas?

Bought a new 27" mac and did a data migration from the old mac. The creative cloud app will not install as it says its damaged, and prompts to download it. Every time i try to install it crashes and says cc is needed for this problem, and i go round in circles....Any ideas please?

Please try to download it by enabling the root user:
Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X - Apple Support

After enabling the root user, refer to Troubleshoot CCM Applet installation and download

TS1702 I have been using "Numbers" on my ipad 2 for about 2 years. Today it kicked me out a few times and now won't let me in at all! I have tried restarting the application but don't want to uninstall it as 2 years of data on there! Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me get back into my numbers App please?

I have simply been backing up to iTunes using the sync function.
My most recent backup using that method was a bit too old. To get a more recent backup of my data, I decided to do another sync backup before uninstalling Numbers from my system. (I did have the sense to copy the previous iTunes backup to another file folder on my PC before making that last sync - just in case I need it.)
Is there some way to extract Numbers spreadsheets from the iTunes sync backup? I haven't found any way to access these spreadsheet except by using Numbers. Since Numbers isn't working, I seem to be stuck. I did find some software that extracts a variety of data from iTunes backups but it doesn't extract Numbers data.

HT1725 why won't my movie completely download? I have tried restarting and updating. It says it is a corrupt file

my movie it not finishing download, cause says that is a corrupt file

UPDATE: From reading some other post I believe that my large video files in iphoto are lagging my imovie so I guess I should have never imported the thumbnails, but the question is now how can I delete them from imovie? (so i can just import them manually when I work on a video) I go into the iphoto folder and see a folder labeled "thumbnails" and in that are 3 folders labeled 2011 2012 2013 and one more item (not a folder, but a piece of paper icon) but its labeled imovie data. I really dont want to delete anything but was wondering if this has anything to do with it.

Iphone camera shutter not opening.. I tried restart and resetting to the factory settings.. It didn't work..What should I do?

Restore your phone as a new device, not from backup. If that fails, then you need to bring your phone in.
