I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

Wifi option is greyed out in my phone. Please help me to fix this
Start by working through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if that doesn't resolve it, some have found it helps to go to Settings and set Airplane Mode ON and Do Not Disturb ON. Power down and wait 5-10 minutes and power up. Got to Settings and set Airplane Mode OFF and Do Not Disturb OFF

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan. I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining. However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover. Thanks much for any support that can be provided.

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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Trying to get cd onto ipod touch but snching options are greyed out - I've opted to manually manage.
I'm trying to get CD onto ipod touch. copied it into ITunes library but when I get to synching 'selected playlists etc' all options are greyed out. If I try and clink sync in bottom right hand corner it gives me warning msg that everything already on ipod will be deleted and I don't want that. any ideas?
Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on your iPod Touch and make sure that restrictions for app installations are turned off.

Recognizes Network but 'Join' Option is Greyed Out
Hi All!
I'm visiting my parents in Brasil for the next 4 weeks. They have WPA wireless internet in their house. My MacBook Pro's (OSX 10.5.8)airport sees their wireless network and allows me to type in their passowrd. BUT, the 'Join' button is greyed out. So I can't log onto it. Why is it greyed out? I've tried restarting a few times but to no avail. I've also tried other networks but I have the 'join' option with them. Ummmmm...I'm stumped.
I've checked a variety of different forums and did some google searching but can't find anything. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.See this https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131119125513AAtRloc

I recently updated my phone software to iOS 6.1.3 and for the first couple of weeks, it was ok. but then until monday, the option to turn on the wi-fi has been greyed out so I can't turn my phone's wi-fi on which means I have to keep using my 3G coverage which will eventually cost me a fortune if I don't get the wi-fi greyed out problem sorted out as soon as possible. If anybody could help me with this problem (without having to take it apart or putting it into the freezer) please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks
alexmac92 xI have seen a few searches that indicate some people have had success by changing their wifi security settings. Using none (not recommended) or using WPA2 with a strong pass phrase (longer than 8 characters) seems to work for everyone I've talked to. I've not had this issue myself on any of my devices (2 iPhone 4, 2 iPhone 5, 2 iPad 2, all running iOS 6.1.3, and 2 iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1), but then again, my home wifi has had a strong pasphrase, and WPA2 for 7-8 years now. I beleive that some people have had luck with performing a reset of network settings (but others have not, and claimed that it actually made things worse some how). Some have had luck performing a device restore in iTunes, while others have claimed that did nothing but cause them to lose everything.
I know there is so much wifi congestion in my neighborhood that it is hard to find a channel that doesn't already have 2-3 routers using it. It is possible that resetting your wifi router might help. I know that when my iPhone wouldn't connect to my wireless network, it would usually clear up if I restarted the router. -
Wifi option is greyed out. need fixed ASAP. nuff said. have tried EVERYTHING
My wifi option has been greyed out for the past two weeks. so annoying. Ive tried every option possible, blow drying it, all the restores, resets, turn off turn on.. nothing works. I want this fixed ASAP.
Blow drying it? Did you get it wet?
Have you considered maybe taking it to the Apple Store to have them look at it to determine whether it's a hardware fault? If the hardware failed, you can dance naked around an Oak tree and sacrifice small animals if you like, it still won't fix it. -
My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?
If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

I dropped my ipod classic and i tried turning it back on and it asks me to plug it in. I did so and it said the data was corrupted. I tried resetting it and it said something about fire wire? I looked on the internet and tried setting it to "Disk mode" and plugging it in and trying it that way, but it doesnt come up on my itunes. I tried diagnosing the issue on the ipod itself and I get to the "Accessorize test" and it says I dont have a FWPWR. How can I fix this??
Ok you got to make sure that you are the adiminstrtor on the computer. After you do that right click on my computer and hit properties. Make sure under the general tab that you are running windows (2000) service pack (4) or Windows XP Home or Pro service pack (2). After you have established that type in on the support search box uninstall itunes and quicktime for windows. Then once you have downloaded itunes restore the ipod and see if this fixes your problem.
