4s won't backup because wifi keeps turning off.

I have an iPhone 4s. The wifi hasn't been working on it for a long time. I finally decided to get a new phone. Each time I try to back my phone up with icloud the wifi will temporarily turn itself off. This has happened every single time. How can I fix this so I can back it up?

If you are backing up automatically (rather than manually by tapping Back Up Now), make sure you are plugging the phone into your charger.  If you don't, wifi will shut off shortly after you lock the screen to conserve battery power.

    in the lenovo wifi driver update link it says b4 u install the new update u should check for the following:
    Notes: If you use ThinkVantage Access Connections, the following software must be installed.
    ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows Vista version 5.21 or higher
    Lenovo System Interface Driver for Windows Vista version 1.00.0702 or higher

    and if all is update - i just need to install the exe file of the new wifi driver? how should i do it?

    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
    Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

  • Mountain lion osx wifi keeps turning to "off" setting by itself.

    Mountain lion osx wifi keeps turning to the "off" setting by itself and when I try to turn it back on again it doesn't change from "off" to "on" Any ideas about whats wrong? The only way I can solve it is by restarting the macbook.
    I have a macbook pro
    2.53 ghz intel core 2 duo
    8gb memory

    You are running a pretty old version of the OS if your information is correct above and there have been quite a few improvements to the WiFi systems in recent releases.
    You may want to try to reinstall the OS. If that does not work you may consider upgrading the OS.

    Help is here to resolve this issue with your wifi connection 88DaveS. Lets try disabling your "Smart Network Switch". Select Settings> Wifi. The 'smart network switch' is in the advanced settings. Locate the Menu icon in the upper right hand corner > Tap Menu > Tap Advanced > Locate and ensure the check box is Unchecked next to Smart network switch. Let us know if this helps.

  • HT1338 My iPhoto won't open, the 'dial' keeps turning & turning.  What do I do?

    My iPhoto won't open, the 'dial' keeps turning & turning.  What do I do?

    If the rebuild doesn't help try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Cracked screen on ipod touch can't get in to it. did a back up with it and tried to put it on new ipod touch 5 and now it keeps talking and won't let me in or turn off.  how can i restore to nothing

    Cracked ipod touch screen and it won't let me in or turn off.  Tried to back it up and put on new ipod touch 5 and now it's not working and doing the same thing. I tried to restore to orginal  but it won't let me any suggestions?

    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 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.

    When the above says to restore via iTunes, restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

  • IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

    iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

    Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
    Follow these steps:
    iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
    If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.
