Reset Network Settings does NOT affect any data on the device.
A reset of the device (holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears) does NOT affect any data on the device.

if i reset network settings to get back my wifi will i lose everything on my ph ? should i back up everything first on pc ?
No you won't lose anything, however you would need to re enter your password for known wifis.
You should already be backing up your phone on a regular basis. -

I cannot turn on my WIfi, if do this as advised: "3.Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings" will my email accounts be erased?
No, you will only have to rejoin all wifi network and re-pair any bluetooth devices.
However, I think this is your problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
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.

My first apple purchase was ipad2, which I loved so opted for iPhone 4S for my mobile upgrade. I used the same apple Id when setting up my phone as the apple ID that I created on my iPad which means that ultimately I am sharing the free 5gb between the two devices. The iPad is used by the entire family So i dont want to interfere with that and the purchase stored on there however I would not mind creating a new apple ID/account on my iPhone as I am struggling for space. And as I have two apple Devices I would like to take advantage of the 5gb free for each.
If I delete the apple ID from my iPhone and create a new one wil I lose all my phone contacts already created? Someone help me please :-)Hello misscej,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

i need to know whether or not i will still be able to get my contacts back if i reset my phone to factory specifications
If they are synced to iCloud and appear on icloud.com, they will reappear on your phone when you sign back into your account. As a precaution, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back them up before you restore if you wish. I would also recommend as a precaution that you import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer before restoring, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do? If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks x
Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had? -
My iPad got disabled and once I waited the 15 minutes I logged in, but from then on I could not connect to server dispite having 2-3 bars of wifi signal. The same thing happened to my iphone5 at the same time although this had not been touched by my 3yr olds. My wifi is very intermittent and often it goes from 3g to GPRS on my iphone. I have reset network settings, turned devices off by home button and off button, removed sim card in phone, etc. I'm stuck.

Since updating my iPhone 4s to ISo 6 my wifi setting is a pale grey and can not be turned on. Have tried restore, reset network settings and updated to ISP 6.0.1, anyone have any suggestions as this is really frustrating.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I started getting a Timed Out error message on my iPhone 5 when trying to browse the internet tthat reads Page could not be loaded. Connection timed out. I performed a Reset Network Settings and am still getting the error message. What is the fix?
Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me. -
Hi, I have iphone 4s and since yesterday my personal hotspot will not work. It's always worked fine in the past and I have a plan with three uk which includes tethering. I've tried everything I can think of including resetting network settings, resetting the phone as a new phone but nothing works. When connected to the pc it shows on the iphone screen '1 connection' but the pc says 'no internet connection' I've spoken to three who say it must be a phone fault. Any help appreciated. :-)
If you have restored as new that pretty well covers software issues
Looks like a trip to an Apple Store and a likely Out of Warranty exchange unit £159 over the counter
May e consider an upgrade with the money ?
