How Can I Fix My Greyed Out Wifi Problem On My Iphone 3gs?

I Have A Iphone 3gs And One Week ago My Wifi Area Is Greyed Out And I Am Unable To Turn It On Nor Off, I Have Tried To Reset My Network Settings But It did Not Work, Can Some One Please Help Me?

There is a high probability that it is a hardware failure. You can try restoring as a new phone, without reloading your backup. If that does not fix it te phone needs repair.

That's an ongoing problem with this recent version of iPhoto as you can see from the topics at the right under "More Like This". The workaround that works for all is to export the photos to a folder on the Desktop and upload to Facebook with your browser until a fix is found.

Hello abyjohn,
I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.

How can I fix my mini ipad wifi?

My wifi is not working

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 droping 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

My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

Short answer is you probably cannot. Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant.

How can I transfer or print out my text messages from iphone 4 to MacBook Pro

How can I save or print my text messages from my iphone 4 to my computer - MacBook Pro?

You need third-party software, like this:

Or you can take screen shots, then email them to yourself or copy & paste into an email, again sending such to yourself. Me? I'd get Phoneview, very handy to keep around.

Does anyone know how much apple charges to fix the greyed out wifi?

it's an ipod 3rd gen touch and the wifi and bluetooth are greyed out.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

How can I remove the greyed out items in iTunes under the devices media list?

As you can see in the photo below I am slowly collecting greyed out TV episodes in my phones list of synced items. Its like they're pending a synchronisation but never actually do.
Things I have tried:
Turning off synching for individual episodes, shows and "all TV" doesn't remove them.
Syncing them to the device and then removing them, they show as copied to the device as normal but when they're removed the grey "pending sync" reappears.
fully wiping and restoring the device, no change if I restore a backup. I would like to avoid a complete "fresh" start is possible just due to the hassle of resetting apps etc.
Since it seems to be tied to some sort of cache that remembers the items pending synchronisation I would expect there is a way to clear that from the backup/phone/itunes without completely wiping the device and starting again. If not i'll work out if the placeholders are taking up space - which it looks like they might be under the "Other" category, if not then they can just stay.

Hi romeisdead,
Happy Holidays! Here are the instructions to remove the U2 album:
Remove iTunes gift album "Songs of Innocence" from your iTunes music library and purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201396
To remove this album:
Go to https://itunes.com/soi-remove.
Click Remove Album to confirm you'd like to remove the album from your account.
Sign in with the Apple ID and password you use to buy from the iTunes Store.
You'll see a confirmation message that the album has been removed from your account.
If you downloaded the songs to iTunes on your Mac or PC or to the Music app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you'll need to delete them manually.
Cheers,

IOS 7 and the 'greyed out' WiFi problem

Hi,
Looking for any solutions to this:
I upgraded to iOS 7 with no problems initially
After about 24-36 hrs I noticed I could no longer access websites via the WiFi connection, so I restarted the phone (a 4S on the Bell Canada network).
Since then, the WiFi slider has been greyed out and I can't access WiFi networks - with the exception of about an hour or two coincidentally around the time of the 7.0.2 release.
The WiFi button on the control centre appears to work, but of course doesn't actually function as designed.
So far I've tried the following:
Power on & off
Reset the phone (home & power buttons until Apple logo shows)
Reset network settings
Various versions of having the phone in or not-in airplane mode while doing the above
Renaming the phone without appostrophies.
Reinstalling iTunes & re sync
Upgrading to 7.0.2
Completely wiping the phone and reinstalling everything from iTunes (painful, I know)
Going into the store that sold me the phone (I won't say here, but they weren't very nice about Apple)
None of the above have worked.
Some reading suggests it could be the phone's chipset, but I'd argue that as it's connected to WiFi just fine a couple if times.
The only idea I've read and not yet got round to trying involves freezing the handset.
Anyone else with any other ideas?
Thanks!

Tony,
I've been reading up on this 4S wifi greyed out topic for the past several days too. I have a 5 and I don't have the wifi greyed out problem (knock on wood).
There's been quite a huge volume of discussion on this issue, with some people suggesting that there is a hardware defect, while others finding it just too coincidental that so many people would have this same problem on the same occassion, ie upgrade to iOS7 or 7.0.1 or 7.0.2.
The strangest thing about this: there's a user, carolinelewis, who is on her second new replacement 4S from Apple but they still show wifi greyed out after a while!
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4638071?start=300&tstart=0
(page 21 of the thread).
Some people swear by the freezer method, some say the hot dryer method worked for them. Some say using either methods would get it fixed, some say the problem returns after some days.
My thoughts is that both freezer and hot dryer methods are actually taking the phone out of its operational temperature range.
Environmental requirements of 4S:
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
This action may have cause the 4S to do a complete initialization when returned to normal temperature, but these 2 methods appear to be last ditch efforts.
What I'd favor is power cycling the 4S, which can be achieved by running it completely out of battery, as shown in this Youtube video: http://youtu.be/o_ws5srnVVM
then plug in power and just may work for you.
I've also come across this person's workaround: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzb5LNB9nIA
which may work for the 4S on iOS7 (it was posted for iOS6).
The steps this gentleman proposed appears to be worth a try. His strategy is to put the iphone into airplane mode, then do a hard reset.
Now, I have had my Thinkpad (Windows7) laptop's wifi freeze up akin to the behavior of 4S on iOS, ie can't turn on wifi radio via software, just simply refuses to see SSID of wifi router, won't join, etc. I've always been able to get things back to normal by power cycling the laptop. In some freak instances, even shutdown won't work, I would pull the battery out of the laptop to get eveything back to normal.
So my thoughts on this 4S wifi button grey out is that there is something in the iOS7 upgrade process that caused the wifi circuitry to freeze up and need a complete restart from powered down state.
The fact that the iphone doesn't have an easily removed battery makes it harder, and I suspect the freezer and dryer technics are an indirect way of acheiving total power off (battery not supplying power due to extreme high or low temperatures).
Furthermore, I've read that some people fixed their wifi greyed out problem by deleting older apps that may not be fully compatible with iOS7 and thus locking it up. Well, if that were true, then it may explain why the problem returns for some people. We won't know who upgraded which app.
And of course, there are instances where the wifi hardware that happen to be in a marginal state. Kind of like a PC working fine, installing updates, then stalling on reboot because the boot sector failed or some driver got stuck during initialization stage. This may explain why for some people the 4S had been working just fine but got broken wifi after the upgrade.
Best of luck to you in your efforts to get this problem fixed.

How can I create an all-day reminder in iOS5 using iPhone 3GS?

When I use the new Reminders app in iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS to create a new reminder for today, the app automatically sets a specific time (e.g. 18:00) for the reminder. But what if I want it to be an all-day event? I still want it to be an event for a specific date, I just don't want to get notified about the event at any specific time. Can this be done?
By the way, this works fine on the iPhone 3GS if I create an all-day reminder in iCal and then sync it to the iPhone using iCloud. Then the iPhone displays it as an all-day reminder. But if I creat the reminder on the iPhone, I can't see how to set it to be an all-day reminder...?

Oh, that's weird. Yeah, it seems to be because the iCal todo has a "Due Date" that's separate from the "Remind Me" date/time -- but the reminders created by Reminders.app don't have the Due Date field.

How can I get my greyed out photos to show up permanently in iPhoto.

I recently had to have my HD reformatted. Am now in process of reinstalling my 3rd party software. So far so good. Some of my photos are missing both on my computer and on my time machine. They appear in my "photos" when I scroll past them, but vanish when I pass them by. Is there a way I can get them to show up permanently. I tried to unhide them but it made no difference.

Me again. I'm pretty sure I found a solution to my problem. I had changed the order of my slides more than once, and it turned out that the "wrong" sequence that Apple TV was using for my slides was the original sequence, not the latest sequence. I found that when I deleted the Apple TV Photo Cache folder and database, it got rebuilt by iTunes and the slide sequence was correct. I have no reason why the order did not automatically get updated. I'm on the rails now!
