    Hi lexipuppy,
    I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

    If these don't work you probably have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

  • My iPhone 4's WiFi button is grayed out after update

    Just spent the last 60 minutes on the phone with Apple support in regards to my iPhone 4's WiFi button being grayed out and unable to turn on. Went through all the steps and suggtions I found on the forums and support. Nothing worked.
    Called Apple Support and was walked through a total factory reset of the phone...still doesn't work!
    I was told that they can not help me because the phone is out of warranty...THIS HAPPENED AFTER UPDATING TO YOUR CRAPPY iOS 7 update! It's your glitch...using the wording from the nice Apple Support gal...she admitted it's their "occasional glitch" in the software. Now I have to get a new phone because of their software "glitch"?

  • Wifi button greyed out and I have updated to ios 7.0.4

    I have a 4S using ios 7.0.4 software and my wifi button is greyed out and my phone is not connecting to any known wifi connections.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    I have gone through the router reset for home network, Router reset at work. Restarted my personal hotspot on my iPhone that is running the same IOS.
    I have performed the Network settings reset on the iPad.
    I have performed a hard reboot on the iPad, (Home button and power button until logo appears)
    Also I had to update the Apple driver on my laptop for iTunes to see my iPad after I had updated iTunes, I'm not sure if I lost wifi after I updated the iPad IOS or updating iTunes.

  • Wifi button greyed

    I have IPhone 4S for a little over a year. Last Friday, I couldn't connect it with my home WiFi and then the WiFi button turned to grey without any reason. It worked fine for a few days after I upgrade to IOS7. So I am not sure it has anything to do with the upgrade. I tried a few tips after reading the online threads, such as drain out battery, reset network, restore Iphone, nothing works. Haven't had the stomach to try the freezer and hair dryer thing yet. The phone is out of warranty now. What should I do now?

  • Why is my WIFI option greyed out!? 4S

    Last week I had my iPhone 4S replaced because my wifi option greyed out and the battery life started to drain really fast. 8 days later it's the exact same problem. What's happening here? I bought the phone 11 months ago!!! Up to date software, reset network settings. I have spoke with several other people with the same problem. I expected more from an expensive apple product...
    Please help me Apple! Thanks

    Your replacement should have a minimum of a 90 day warranty, if replaced by Apple.
    If you've followed all of the steps in the troubleshooting article, and your replacement device is still having wi-fi greyed out, then get the device replaced.

  • Why is my Wifi access greyed out?

    I have been trying to help mom with her WiFi access on her Iphone 4s.  It used to work fine.  Now all of a sudden the Wifi access is greyed out so she cannot get Wifi.  This is a huge problem because we FaceTime to see each other and now we can't. 
    She took it into the Apple store and was told she would need to pay $200 to have it replaced because they can't repair it; I've been on line and noticed there were thousands of complaints about this issue so I'm wondering why it can't be fixed.  Is it a problem with the hardware and if so why won't Apple fix it?
    Has anyone else experienced this issue and were you able to resolve it?
    Thanks

    Additional Information
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    If no change after following the troubleshooting steps included with the link provided including restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem. Apparently this has been confirmed at the Apple Store and if the iPhone remained under warranty it would have been exchanged under warranty at no charge.
