Help!! iPhone 4S Cannot Turn On Wi-Fi. The button is gray (setting is shown as "off") and does not allow me to turn it on.
My iPhone 4S will not allow me to turn on wi-fi. The wi-fi on / off button in the settings menu is stuck in the off position. It is gray color and is inactive. Meaning that it will not allow me to turn wi-fi on and off. It is stuck in off only.
My phone has the latest iOS 6.0.1 installed.
I've tried resetting everything, I've tried hard reset, nothing works.
Any help would be appreciated.
A hard reset will not resolve this issue. Attempt to restore the device as new (not from a backup) using itunes on a computer. If it still happens on your newly restored device, it's a hardware issue and the device would need to be replaced

My iphone 3gs all of sudden turned off and does not want to turn back on.
Charge it with a wall charger for 15 minutes, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.

Hi kamalkumar,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone.
The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

I had my iphone 4s synced to itunes on my work laptop. The IT group at work stripped out that installation and will not allow me to reinstall. My iphone insists it has to sync to my work laptop itunes. How do I change iphone settings to look at an itunes installation on my personal laptop?

You cannot.
By Design the iPhone can Only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time. -

Try some maintenance actions:
1) Reset Printing System:

2) If that doesn't help, repair the hard drive and permissions after booting from the recovery partition:

10.9.1 installs, then system turns off and does not restart.
10.9.1 installs, then system turns off and does not restart. When I eventually turn it back on, it installs again, then turns off.. Endless Cycle.. I have booted to restore disk, found errors that needed to be repaired and tried to repair them but system told me, after a few minutes, its not possible to repair. When I restart back to main disk, it shows the install AGAIN and then turns off. Much appreciate any Ideas?
All I can tell you is that:
Antivirus software, aside from being next to useless on Macs, is a common source of problems with Mavericks.
Google Drive was incompatible with Mavericks last time I looked.
WD hard drives have software that comes on the drives that is incompatible with Mavericks, software that comes with the drives that they want you to install on your mac which is incompatible with Mavericks, and in some cases firmware in the hardware of the drive enclosure itself which is incompatible with Mavericks. And all of this software is completely unnecessary. The good folks at WD have really worked hard to ensure that their products won't work with Mavericks. Bless their little pointy corporate heads. I'll bet that's the last WD drive you'll buy.
Basically you would need to get all this stuff uninstalled from your hard drive before it will reliably work with Mavericks. But even then, it might not work, because old/bad/incompatible software can alter your OS and the kernel such that uninstalling it won't help- the OS/kernel may be damaged such that you have no alternatives other than to erase the HD and start over. And anyway, currently you can't boot your HD to be able to access the Finder so unless you're going to spend a weekend with the Terminal you won't be able to uninstall that stuff in the first place. If I were you I'd just go ahead and erase the HD and install Mavericks from scratch.
10.9.1 doesn't come on a CD. If you had another (working) mac you could make a bootable installer flash drive with DiskMaker X and an 8 GB key drive DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) , but then you'd still have the same problem, the incompatible software would still be on your HD, unless you erase it first before you try installing Mavericks again. So there's really nothing to gain by having the Mavericks installer on a disk.
If you have a third party utility like Techtool Pro 7 you might be able to boot from the TechTool disk and repair your HD enough for it to boot.

Since yesterday I am facing problem,when it goes in sleep mode it actually turn off and does not come up after pressing start button but every time I have to hard reset it to turn it on .It is 4 gen running on 4.3.3.Please help
so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

In "Settings" Wi-Fi is "Off" and will not allow me to turn it ack on. I ave turned the phone off but it does not Chang anything.
Try doing a reset on the iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back. -
I already stated the problem above, but I am able to download the file. Yet, when I try to begin the setup it says "trying to connect to server" and does not do anything else. I need help to finish the set-up!

Problem: my iPhone 4S (1yr old) has started buzzing for no apparent reason. I cannot stop it or turn the thing off. The screen is black and does not respond to touch. Any suggestions?
Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
Whatever. Again, many thanks. -

Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support. -
My iPhone was 100% charged. Mysteriously shut off and will not turn back on. Help!!!
My 1 week old iPhone 4s was charged 100%. Worked perfectly one minute, the next it had shut itself off and will not turn back on. I tried putting it on the charger with no change. I hit the power button on top, nothing. I've tried everything is it just dead?
Try leaving it plugged in for at least 10 minutes. Then try to do a hard reset of the device: Hold the Power button and the home button until you see the Apple Logo... may hold for at least 10 seconds if you don't see the Apple Logo popup.
If that doesn't work force recovery mode.
Press and hold the home button and connect the phone to your computer with iTunes open.
iTunes should see the phone in recovery mode and allow you to restore it.
If it still does not work, the phone may need service at this point. Call Apple Care or setup an Genius Bar appointment at a Apple Retail Store.
