Hello there, user10103.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some practical instruction for troubleshooting the very issue you're describing:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Has the easily scratchable backing on the iphone 5 has been sorted out for the 5S?
Does anyone know if the scratchgate issue has been sorted out for the 5S? Im thinking of getting the black one. Also the Apple site doesnt really give a good feel of what the leather cases will look like - anyone know any better sites?
What other issues with the iphone5 were there that should have been taken care of in 5S? over heating, battery, etc
Also,
I have an iphone 4 - I havent updated the ios software since version 5 I think. If I back up my phone and when the new 5S comes out I restore it onto that will it mess up my contacts, messages, apps etc? Or is there an easier way to transfer the settings and everything as it is on my current phone to the new 5S? Since its a nee OS I wondered whether the apps may end up in different folders etc.
Thanks guys.No one here has gotten their hands on a 5S or 5C as they have not been released yet.

I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?
Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!
You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

So basically, my Ipod5 was working normally earlier today but then the screen just randomly went black and I cant get it to turn on. The problem though, is that for the past 15 weeks, it has been telling me that it is unable to save anything to the cloud due to a lack of space. I don't really care about anything other than my pictures and I'm wondering if there is any way for me to get them back even if my Ipod doesn't work?
Likely not but
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does my itunes shut down by itself? it has been doing this for the past three days.
For the past 3 days my iphone has been shutting down itunes by itself. Every time i try to open it it closes. what should i do?
Hi mcminn_sarah97,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like either the iTunes Store app or Music app are quitting unexpectedly on your iPhone. I recommend restarting the phone first:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, there are a few more steps that you can try.
If the iTunes Store app is quitting unexpectedly, try the steps in this article next:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
If the Music app is quitting unexpectedly, try this step next:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.
Reset iPhone settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

iTunes: Restoring iOS software

My ipod has over 7,000 pictures and there are 5,00 i could easily delete but it wont let me do anything! it just has a loading symbol that converts into an apple logo and then back again. Ive tried pressing down the home and sleep/wake button down at the same time for 10 seconds. The apple logo does appear, but it goes back to the loading symbol or a white screen. Its been like this for 24 hours and is unresponsive. Please help.
- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
I was importing photos yesterday. iphoto has been importing them since yesterday. It won't let me stop the import or exit iphoto. Any thoughts. I am a very new MAC user. Thanks!!
Force quit iPhoto by typing Command+Option+Esc or using the Apple ➙ Force Quit menu option and selecting iPhoto in the Force Quit window.

Firefox has been crashing randomly for the past ten or so hours for me.
When I got home from work I installed the latest Flash update when it popped up on my desktop. I watched a few videos on YouTube and Twitch and when I attempted to stream a video I started having the issue. At first I thought it was Flash or video related so I stopped using those for a bit. Then it happened on Facebook and several other sites. I've run in safe mode, turned off hardware acceleration. Filed numerous reports via the crash box. When that comes up I can't get any details on the crash and when I go to the about:crashes it mentions TlsGetValue in the signature for the crashes, starting around 9:49 pm central. Please help as this is getting extremely annoying.
Thank you for the input madperson, hopefully this will work and I can update back when the situation is fixed.

The WiFi button is not greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up or connect toany of the networks I have previously been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck. Any suggestions?
If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.
