Hi there, i am having difficulty connecting my iphone 4s to my home broadband, the wifi tab under settings is greyed out-please help!

Hi johno71,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Wi-Fi.
The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
Symptoms
In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear "grayed out" or dim. If this occurs, you will not be able to turn Wi-Fi on.
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
Additional Information
If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library. If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs. It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit selected songs. The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads). Can anyone help? I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.

HT1695 i have a 4S , when i upgraded the software in the previous upgrade my wi-fi button has "greyed out " and i cannot turn on wi-fi, any suggestions please ?

wi-fi button on 4S has greyed out and cant turn on wi-fi , any suggestions please ?

First try a simple reset by holding down the home and power button for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple, then let the device start normally. If issues still persist, you will need to restore and update the iPhone from iTunes on your pc or mac. If after the restore still grey your device may need service or replacement.

TS1717 I have logged onto Itunes and all my songs are greyed out and I cannot play any of them.

I have paid for a year to have Itunes available on another computer but when I go in, all the songs are there but they seem to be greyed out and none of them will play. I cant seem to find out what is wrong here. I have checked my account and its all up to date. I only have the two computers running on this scheme. Any suggestions? (I am not computer literate so please advise for a novice). The main computer for Itunes is XP and the second computer is Windows 7.

Try:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
The grey-out ones may not be recoverable.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

In my Music Library the MPEG format files are greyed out and I cannot edit them, any ideas?

I have imported both ACC and MPEG files into my Itunes music library. On the ACC tunes I can edit information through Get Info command. On the MPEG tunes I cannot edit the information through Get Info command as all entries are greyed out. Any ideas?

Problem solved
Thanks I found the answer in other threads.

Why Apple is silent about 4s wifi getting greyed out and not responding to this issue? many ppl suffer from this and this is absurd!

Why Apple is silent about iPhone 4s wifi getting greyed out with iOS updates 8.0.2 and 8.1 and did not respond to this issue officially? Many people are suffering from this affected service. How can you trust us to buy new iPhones when you stop supporting us with the ones we have since they are still upgradable to the latest iOS.
Is there any chance that we will be given the support and would this issue be fixed with any upcoming updates? My iPhone when its battery is drained totally and I start it again the WIFI works until I try to choose another network or somehow I disable it then blackout!
This is definitely a software issue that we never had problems before this update.
Show us that you care for your products at least and provide us with a solution please.

That doesn't help at all.. I can only have it enabled if the battery gets drained out totally then when I restart it the WIF is on. then back greyed out.. that is not a serious reply, really!
Yes, it's a serious reply. Did you actually read the information at the link I posted? Especially the last sentence? The fact that it appeared when you updated to iOS 8 has no bearing on the validity of the article. It is not specific to any version.

IMEI number is greyed out and unable to activate phone.Apple India is not supporting any suggestions?

I bought iPhone 5 in Singapore in May '13 and then moved to India . The phone worked well in India till end Sep'13. But in Oct '13, while auto installing 7.0.3, the phone started hanging and the signal went for "search " forever. I tried to reset the phone to factory settings and everything went blank. It is stated that the IMEI number has been greyed out in the phone and only Apple Singapore can fix it.
Apple India refused to touch the phone as it was bought in Singapore. Tried with online support without any success till now. I am unable to send the phone to Singapore for repair - as it cannot be send by courier by individuals and Apple Singapore service does not accept over courier.
Tried online support and but it did not work
Please suggest option to repair and make the phone usable in India.
Regret for having bought iPhone at Singapore.

Thank you for the quick response. I understand warranty coverage is only for Singapore ( place of purchase).
Help required: Can the online support from Apple really help in restoring the phone?
1.What is the purpose of iPhone Restore option in iCloud / iTune ? if it user cannot do in such instances
2.Why should the IMEI number get "greyed" after a use of 6 months?
3.Why should a Apple working product fail when updating a new version of the software?
Surely points 1 to3 above are shortcomings of Apple software and its product. Such HIGH priced premium product needs much more reliability. Apple should consider global warranty specifically for people who travel -else the problem will erode its market share. Apple competition too have the same issue.
Having stated the above, I sincerely regret going in for a Apple product and that too buying in Singapore. I have learnth a hard and extremely costly lesson

TS1702 Numbers keeps copying saved documents randomly and saves them to my Numbers desktop on my ipad. They are greyed out and you cannot open them but the original I can open and its happening all the time to eery document

I have numbers on my ipad 2, I have saved documents I have created in a folder so far so good. For some odd reason when I open Numbers before I anything it autocopies every single document saved, and there are about 50 documents. When it saves them the Numbers Icon is greyed out, the originals are still in colour. I can open the originals but cannot open the copies which I have to delete every single time. What is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

TS2998 Help!!! All of a sudden my "send" in Mail is greyed out and i cannot send emails. Any ideas, I can receive them ok.

Can anyone help me......... All of a sudden my "send" in Mail is greyed out, I can receive mail but cannot reply or send a new mail message.

Austin,
Connection doctor says all accounts are connected.
I have two email accounts setup and my business one appears to be ok (can reply and send ok).
The main account has the "send" button greyed out.
And now my F4 button does not open the set apps e.g. calender/calculator etc instead it opens "manage widgets"
This all seems to have started since the system updated OSX to 10.6.8

Our itunes playlists have dissapeared. We hope to be able to bring them back and would appreciate any advice.

Our itunes playlists seem to have disappeared. We hope to be able to restore them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing is to send them feedback. Given the increased popularity of the device for education and special needs people I can certainly see how some control is needed.
If restrictions doesn't help enough you could try separating his apps onto their own page and see if that helps to keep him on task and away from things he shouldn't be accessing.
