HT1414 My wifi is still greyed out on iphone 4s after a system restore.  Help!!

I have done a system restore (via backup and not a new phone) to my iphone 4s to try to get my wi-fi button to toggle again.  It is greyed out and won't respond! I would love to fix this.  Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Wi-fi greyed out on iPhone 4s after updating to ios 6.1.3

    I was given an iphone 4s after a friend upgraded to the 5, I plugged in to itunes to set up and it said there was an update which I did and now the wi-fi is greyed out and will not turn on. I have tried the suggestions that apple give, the reset network seting etc and nothing has worked. There is no warrenty with the phone as its ran out. Is there a fix that actually works or has the update destroyed the phones wi-fi? 
    Been looking on here and there are loads of people with same problem and a lot are saying they ended up getting a new phone as covered on warrenty, but is there some way to fix this problem for those of us who can not get their phone replaced????

    So ,,,, I have iphone without wifi ?!!!! and I have to wait someone in apple co thinks about me ?!!! is it justic ???
    today is the worst day over my life ... and I don't know why this problem's occured ?!! and apple doesn't care about me ?!!!
    PLEASE find the solution soooooooooon

  • Wifi is still greyed out after quite a few weeks.

    I first contacted O2 online and tried everything with them.  They said to contact Apple as it sounded like a software issue.  I made an appointment with the Apple store.  The guy who dealt with me said that because my warranty had now run out (still got another 12 months to go untill my contract ends), I was unable to have my 4S replaced.  Instead I could pay £120 for them to fix it.  I decided not to do this because if it was a software problem then surely Apple should be responsible.  I am now constantly stuck in 3G and it is using up all my data.  I am absolutely disgusted that Apple are not prepared to replace my phone.  Does anybody have any ideas of my options?

    If you go to the Apple store, they can replace it for a fee since this will be an out of warranty replacement. That is your only option as you know

  • I cannot turn on my wifi and have tried everything its still greyed out

    I reset network settings, reset all settings and made sure my phone software was up to date however it is still greyed out and i cannot switch it back on. is there anything else i can do? or do i need to take it back to the shop

    Is this true for all WiFi areas or only at home?  If all WiFi then it needs to go to the Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.
    If only at home, have you worked through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

  • Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

    Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks & Happy New Year :-)

    First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
    That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • Hi, i am using iphone4s.. 2 days ago i had a problem with wifi.. button greyed out, it was suggested to keep phone in freezer, worked temporarily and i updeted to ios7.1 but still facing same problem.. wht to do? cant afford to throw off :/ huhh..

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen and it updated by itself to iOS6 without a wifi connection. When I unlocked it, it told me to connect to iTunes. So, I updated the software and when the update was finished, my wifi button was greyed out. I'm cant turn on wifi

    My iPod updated by itself without a wifi connection. It told me to connect it to iTunes so I did and I updated the software and everything. After it was updated, my wifi button was greyed out and I don't know why. I sent it in to get fixed and the Apple store did NOTHING. I still have about 48 days left on my one year waranty and I don't know what to do to fix the problem. Please, does anyone know how to fix this issue without selling it or replacing it? I've tried all the troubleshooting techniques and nothing is working. Someone help.

  • Wifi is still dropping out after 6.1.2 update

    Recently received a new 4s from the apple store due to moisture damage on original 4s which was very much bug free, but this phone has major wifi problems. Basically it does not scan for wifi connections. It drops out all the time, the wifi tab is greyed out sometimes and cannot connect to a network under settings. I have reset the network settings many times, have rebooted many times, sometimes it works intermittently, but not for long as it then transfers over to Edge or 3G. Very frustrating.

    I was having this problem on my iPhone 4S as well while all of our other devices were not.  I changed my router channel setting to manual & selected the highest number channel setting available.  It solved the problem for my iPhone & all other devices connected to the network are still fine.. 

  • Upgraded my iphone to ios 5 now the wifi settings is greyed out saying "no wifi"

    Hi today i update to IOS 5 on my Verizon iPhone 4 and now my wifi doesnt work. When i go to configure my wifi place next to were it says wifi in the settings is greyed out and says "no wifi". i obviously cant tap it and configure it. I dont know what's going on! it was working on IOS 4.2.10 literally 2 minutes before updating and now it doesnt work! i have NOT dropped my iPhone or spilled anything on it. The update seems to have "killed" my wifi. if anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated seeing as to how i dont have unlimited data and need wifi

    I'm having the same problem with my AT&T iPhone 4.
    After installing ios5, WiFi was greyed out in settings. I turned my phone off and back on, and wifi was back. It saw my 2 routers, and allowed me to input my WEP passwords for them, but then, when I went to an app that used wifi, Safari, it wouldn't connect, and listed "Not Connected" Going back into WiFi prefs, it appeared to be searching for networks, but didn't find any. Not my 2, nor any of the neighbors. I usually see 3-4 networks other than my own.
    Turn it off and on again, WiFi greyed out again.
    Reset all settings - Wifi back, but with the same results as the first time.
    Reset network settings - Wifi still greyed out.
    I see this has happened at other new iOS releases, but never to me. Hopefully there will be a patch soon. I do have unlimited data, but dang 3G is slow.
    I'm going to back up my phone this morning, and do a restore to factory settings, and see what that does, besides totally screw up all my apps.

    Hi Holliecollie93,
    It sounds very frustrating that you are unable to use wifi with your iPhone. I do have an article that I would like you to use in order to troubleshoot this, though it sounds as if you have already done some of the steps provided -
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Specifically -
    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.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
