HT1414 i reseted my iphone to factory setting and Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
So my Iphone Wi-if is grayed out, leaving me no option to turn on my wifi.
I tried resetting and restoring my iphone already..
Please help i do not want to constantly use my data. thanks !
I have the same problem with my iPhone 4S. I called the lab and they told me this can only happen by getting the iPhone wet or hot, my iPhone never got wet so the only option left was that it got hot so I read somewhere online that you can stick it in a refrigerator for some minutes and then the Wi-Fi will get back but I didn't know for how many minutes so put it in the freezer for 20 minutes and then the Wi-Fi came back but only for 30 minutes because it got hot again. The lab also told me that this was a hardware problem with the inner panel of the iPhone. And they can only fix it if it's still responding but if it's not responding they can't fix it, only Apple can, because they don't sell the panel to other stores. The catch was that if they open the iPhone and find out they can't fix it not only that it cost me money also I lose the warranty and Apple won't take back the phone and replace it or fix it, or if they do it will cost me more money.
So if anyone could tell me if they know how many minutes to put it in the freezer or if they know about another solution that could be a lot of help because I don't live in a country where there are any Apple stores.
Thanks, and good luck;)

My Ipod froze and a power symbol came on the screen and I couldn't get out if it. I then connected my Ipod to my MacBook and reset the Ipad to the factory settng. Now I can't connect to the intranet as the WiFi icon in the settings screen appears washed out and does not allow me to access my WiFi.
Any suggestions.DIM/GRAY
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Tried the below and still no good - any suggestions
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. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Last Modified: Dec 9, 2013Your device has a hardware failure and only replacement or repair will fix it. Take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized service provider.

I am not computer expert it happen to me. I think it is not working for a touch on/ off so you have to push using your finger and hold and open to the right (like when you open a door). That worked for me I call it mannual opening. I did not get any help so I figured out the hard way.Let me know but I am for sure

Muhammad luqman nasirIf you did the troubleshooting for greyed out Wi-Fi with no result, this might be hardware related and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or by Apple. You can find the contact info for your country by clicking on this link:

When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button. -
my friend ipad 2 was stolen if they reset the device in factory setting,just wanna ask if we can still locate the device using find my iphone...mobileme?pls help me,...
It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen. You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it.
It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so. Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on. -
How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.
Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault". -
How to reset my macbook to factory setting
I need to reset my macbook back the factory setting and clean it out. How do it do this?
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac is one way. Another is:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
