HT1766 my wifi antenna isn't working....the phone has icloud but without wifi it cannot back up any information!!!

wifi antenna isn't working and need to back up phone throught icloud but how is that possible to do if the wifi isn't working???

Hello Bren,
Thank you for details of the issue you are experiencing with backing up your iPhone to iCloud. I have a couple of suggestion to help with getting your iPhone backed up.
If you have not tried troubleshooting the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone, I recommend reviewing the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If you have tried those steps and it is indeed a hardware issue with your Wi-Fi antenna, I recommend backing up using iTunes:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Additionally, the following resource provides information on getting your iPhone serviced:
Service Answer Center - iPhone

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

with my thanks

The Help page you came here from gives you all the information; without the previous owner's password or his removing the phone from his list of devices you cannot proceed and I'm afraid your phone is useless.

Hi, I was given an iphone 3gs. Upon trying to sync with itunes I discovered that the phone has actually been jailbroken. I cannot get my iphone to work at all now. Does anyone know what to do?

The phone has given me a 1015 error - unknown error has occured, during the firmwre comfirmation.
We have tired the tricks with holding the home button down for 10 secs etc, we have tried installing a number of different versions of itunes, but no joy.
We did do a backup of the phone before trying to sync it but can't re-install that either.
I have been told the only way to get the phone functional again is to re-jailbreak it, do a back up of that and try to udpate back to the apple IOS from there but the phone is not responding.
It turns on, and is in emergancy mode only, wehn I put hte sim in it's not recognising it, all it wants is to connect to itunes, which it wont do when you try.
I don't know what to do try next, at a dead end here.
I don't want a jail broken phone, I just want it to function like its meant to but at this stage I will settle for a phone that works at all.
Any suggestions,,,,,,,,, anyone??
Thanks for reading and considering my problem.

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems?

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...

Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

When you add a WiFi you can't get into any websites??? But if you turn WiFi off you can access websites?
You can access websites without WiFi? Do you have a 3G/4G iPad?

My on off button on my iPhone isn't working and it has been for several months but i went to the apple store today and the warranty was only 16 days over is it possible to get it fixed for free

If the genius at the Apple Store did not offer repair under warranty then NO
12 months is 12months asume you did not have AppleCare

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

How do i fix my wifi if it connects and the bars are blue but no check sign appears next to the wifi name and does not connect to the internet???

Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

Hello! Does the wifi button look greyed out? Here is a link regarding this issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
What you will need to do is to first to reset network settings by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, NOTE: When you do this all bluetooth/wifi passwords will be forgotten. If the issue persists then we need to do a simple backup and restore.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 on how to backup and restore, when you restore please restore as new, do not restore the backup just yet if the Wifi is greyed out then there is a hardware issue and the device needs to be serviced. Please check your local Apple Store or call into Apple regarding service options and warranty status. Hope this helps!

Why not? If you are under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let Apple deal w/hardware problems. If you mess up, your warranty will be voided!

When I try to get into the app store it tells me my password is incorrect. How can I correct this? I have been emailing support but so far they have been no help

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked and can't slide to unlock it. Several of the icons are not working as well. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up or synced with another device?

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

I wish to transfer all the music on my ipod (synced with my home computer) to my itunes on my work computer. Is this possible? I am concerned if I plug my ipod into the work computer, which has itunes but no music content, that it will automatically sync and wipe all the content from ipod. Can anyone advise?

Only if you use a third-party utility such as Phone to PC and only if you use the same Apple ID for your other computer.
