HT6154 My iPhone 4g wi fi is greyed out. I've backed it up to my computer after having a lengthy discussion with an Apple tech person at the apple store. What should I do next?

My iPhone 4g cannot connect to wi fi. It is greyed out. I've spent the day at Apple, backing up my iPhone to my computer, resetting network, and rebooting everything many times. What is the next best step? The Apple tech at the store said that my phone no longer has a warranty and I should either get another 4G or go to a 5c. I've seen that iPhones generally have a greyed out problem and that it's not software, but a hardware issue. Help!

After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.
I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

It could be the fact that your hosts file is directing itself to gs.apple.com Cydia not gs.apple.com Apple,
Hope it helps

Hey there Mark,
If this is indeed the first time that you have used your Apple ID in the iTunes or App store you do need to have a payment method the first time you set it up:
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment methodafter you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

TS3297 When I try to open iTunes i get that this message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes." I have downloaded the lastest version and it has not changed the message. What should I do next?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

When I restart my Mac, the grey screen appears like usual. But it takes more than 40 minutes (more) for it to load to finish restarting the Mac. What should I do?!

Disconnect all devices from your computer if you have not already done so. Restart again. If the problem has been resolved, you had a peripheral conflict. You will then have to reconnect the devices one at time, restart, to locate the culprit.
Login Items is another culprit. Check your login items.
System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items
Delete/disable all you do not need or want.

In trying to reinstall OSX to our Mac Mini, the computer accepts, reads and then rejects the disc, nothing but blue on the screen. What should I do next?

Our 2009 Mac Mini became quite sluggish and then just wouldn't function. I tried reloading the OS with the original disc from Apple, but the computer rejected the disc and the screen was all blue. Next, I shut down the machine, inserted the disc, turned it on, the screen is a faint gray in color, Apple logo in the middle, the disc came out. What should I next try?

Apple logo in the middle,
The Apple logo is not contained in your Mac's ROM. Seeing it indicates that your Mac found a bootable device, and loaded the initial blocks from that device. I expect you booted from the damaged hard drive.
Use the Option key held down at Startup to get clarity over exactly what drives can be seen, and what your Mac thinks they contain. Wait for it to draw an icon for every potentially-bootable Volume. Deliberately select the device you want to use as the Boot Drive.
You must have a wired keyboard plugged directly into the chassis to use snag keys at Startup. A wireless keyboard that is already paired can be used, but the exact timing is more difficult.

Don't have a cable because of apple store what should I do?

So i went into trinity Leeds apple store and took an iPad and the cable in and as it got replaced I was told that I had never brought in the cable which I did and now I am stuck without the cable and cannot use the iPad the person who helped me offered me a cable for £15 but I said no as I shouldn't have to pay for their mistake.. What should I do?

Speak (nicely) to the store manager and explain.
You don't have to use an Apple cable - there's cheaper ones on ebay and in some electronics stores.
 Cheers, Tom

I was sent an email from a family member that was not her email address with just a link and open the link. What should i do?

I was sent an email from a family member that was hacked that had a link and by mistake open the link, what should I do.

Spammers harvest email address from a variety of sources. Just because your family members name is on the email does not mean that your family members email was hacked. But it's a good idea you let them know you did receive that email. In the meantime do not respond to the email and delete it from your device.

I own Acrobat XI Pro. I installed it on my new machine, but cannot start it because Acrobat says that the serial number I have doesn't match the software. What should I do next? Can' find any FAQ's on this.

I deactivated Pro on my old machine, downloaded from the store on my new machine and tried to open it. A window popped up that said I had a valid product key, but that it didn't match the software on my machine. The drop down box did not list my product. Don't know what to do next.

If I'm trying to change countries and I need to get rid of a balance that is insufficient for anything in the iTunes store, what should I do?

I'm trying to switch my iTunes account to a different country but I have $0.29 left on my account that iTunes is telling me I must spend before I can change countries. Obviously, 29 cents will not buy me anything in the store, thus the money will be just sitting there forever. Please help.
