I have the wifi gray out issue and have tried all the steps!

This is a hardware issue and Apple SHOULD replace the phone even if out of warranty!!!!!!!!  This is the second phone that has done this and it is obviously an issue according to everyone else's post.  Apple find a solution for the problem before you manufacture another Iphone!!!!!!!

these are user to user forums.  you are not addressing apple by posting here.

  • This is a different type of the "wifi grayed out."

    This is a different type of the "wifi grayed out." My Iphone experiences the same problem that others have, the wifi becomes grayed out and I am unable to click it. However, after five or so days the wifi miraculously returns to full functionality, but then returns to grayed out again. I went to the Apple store, and they said I had water damage (i am skeptical) because my phone has been no where near water. I did the "freezer" trick that some mention, and that got it to work for a bit but not long. I am assuming that  it is a hardware problem and not software, since everything else works fine. I have a 4s on the latest ios. Can someone help me before the wifi turns gray again? I don't want to have to buy a new phone if needed.

    You need to follow the steps below:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    If Apple have confirmed water damage then more than likely you will need to get a replacement.

  • TS1398 when i update my software to 6.1.3(10B329)to I phone 4s the wifi is not working and not auto join the network that i have already connected to

    First, grow up.  Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software.  I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know.  And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working?  It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive.  Not Apple's.
    We're users here, volunteering our time to help others.  Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help.  Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
    Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
    Good luck getting help.

  • We had to change the feed adress and the epsiode adresses. Now all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded (although i have downloaded them already). How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?

    Hello,
    We had to change the feed adress (<itunes:new-feed-url>)and the epsiode adresses in the feed because the feed and the episode-files are on a new server. Now when i open my iTunes subscription of our podcast all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded again (although i have downloaded them already).
    My Question therefore is: How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?
    Maybe have an answer?
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much for your answer
    As I see now, our 'guid' tags contain the episode URLs
    To avoid this problem in the future i would like to change guid tags. Can you please tell me how a guid tag should look like if it is not the URL?
    Thank you for helping us!
    ps now it looks like this eg:
    <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.castyourart.com/podcasts/213_thinkglobal_en.mp4</guid>

  • Does iOS 8 fix the wifi 'grayed out' bug in iPhone 4S?

    Hi.
    I have an iPhone 4S which is running iOS 7.1.2 . Apparently, the wifi was working before upgrading to ios 7.1.2 (from ios 6.1.3). The wifi option is 'Grayed out" in the Settings app and my Mac address is seen as 'N/A' . There are so many 'fixes' for it two of which are temporary (freezer fix and blow dryer fix) It's a really big inconvenience to not have a wifi connection especially when downloading some big files. For those who have used iOS 8 on their iphone 4S (developers et al) does the new and improved iOS version fix this bug? It's nerve racking because I dont know how to save SHSH blobs meaning I cant downgrade from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 6.1.3 just to get my wifi working. My best bet right now is that iOS 8 will have a fix for this problem. Buying another iPhone is not an option for me right now as my cash is tied up in some projects. Please help.

    Ok guys,
    I don't know if these helps but I'm going to describe what happened to me with these, first I must say I have an iphone 4S which when bought, the wifi was working fine. The Wifi grayed issue started happening right after I updated IOS version 7.1.1 to 7.1.2. At first I noticed the phone was becoming slow as **** and that my phone won't connect to any Wifis, so I switched my wifi off and my phone became fast again. If I happened to turn the wifi on again my iphone would just become slow again.
    I went an try to look up the issue solution on internet forums and apple support page but noone seems to have definitive solution. Now I read the hairdryer and freezer method, but I don't trust it since, as apple points out, might lead to hardware damage but it kinda make sense to me that something might be wrong with the wifi chip. I read in another forum that if I just erase or restore (I can't quite remember right now the right name) the network configuration it might solve the problem, but it seems it doesn't work either.
    I ran out of options and just waited for IOS 8 to come out and correct the problem, but it didn't. So I came to the conclusion that this is in no way, a hardware problem unless update 7.1.2 just damage hundreds or perhaps thousands of iphone 4S, which I think is rubbish. This is without a question a software issue, might be some software incompatibility with the iphone 4s wifi chip.
    So to summarize all of these, what happened to me was:
    1) iphone 4S is version 7.1.1 - WiFi works OK
    2) Iphone 4S updates to version 7.1.2 - Wifi no longer works
    3) Iphone 4S updates to version 8.0 - Wifi still doesn't work
    I tried the following to solve the issue:
    1) Reboot the device - Fail
    2) Restore Network configuration - Fail (grayes out the wifi)
    3) Update to IOS 8.0 - Fail
    4) Turn on Airplane mode and after 20 seconds off - (ungrayes the wifi but still cannot connect to any wifi)
    What I am currently experiencing with IOS 8.0 (it happened also with 7.1.2)
    1) Trying to open "Settings" if wifi is on - it is slow 70% of the time
    2) Trying to open "Settings" if wifi is off - Opens up normally
    3) Trying to open "Settings>Wifi" if wifi is on - opens awfully slow and no wifi is listed
    4) Trying to open "Settings>Wifi" if wifi is off - opens up normally
    I hope these helps you apple guys, please fix this issue as my iphone is spending my data plan since I cannot longer use WiFi.

  • Why is the display grayed out? andhow do I increase the contrast?

    I just "updated" from Firefox 3.6.27 to 17. The new look is impossible for me to work with. Everything is faded out, grayed out, no color contrasts...... I tried to find a persona/theme to change this, but the page displaying the persona/themes is so faded out I can't tell what I'm searching for. Isn't there some way to turn off this faded out hazy style?

    The setup is the default that comes with Firefox 17. If I could find any settings to increase the contrast I would have done so already. This blue/gray mess is really hard for older computer users. Every thing was just fine thank you, in Firefox 3.6.27 Well, up until they started messing around with forced plugin update checker. Then it started crashing every few minutes, until i gave in and installed this worthless piece of trash Firefox 17. I don't want to live in a blue/gray haze. I want color differentiation and lots of contrast. And I want all the tool bars and address bar above the page tabs. Meanwhile if I go to get an add-on that will change the color scheme, it gives me thousands, but they are faded out. Apparently Mozilla no longer offers add-on that are compatible with the current browser.

  • My ipod 3g wont allow me to restore to factory because my brother forgot the passode and ive tried all the steps on other questions what do i do it wont work.

  • I have been watching a rental movie and the audio cut out half way through, tried restoring the apple TV now I've lost the rental.

    I have just been watching (The  Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?

    Hi David.
    This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
    It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there.

  • Why has my wifi grayed out? And why can't I connect to wifi anymore?

    A week ago my WiFi just stopped connecting, and anytime I try to turn it on again it is grayed out. How do I fix this?

  • HT1212 I have shattered my iphone 4s screen and cannot backup all the data through itunes because it is asking me to unlock it. I do not wish to repair the screen as I'd rather buy a new iphone, but I need the photos and contacts. How do I perform a backu

    P.S.
    I feel as though I am forced into repairing the iphone before I can backup the information (photos, videos, contacts). If the apple ID on the device is the same as the one on my iMac I do not understand why I have to unlock the iphone by typing in the 4 digit passcode. This is a little ******** as having the screen break seems to be the usual prpblem with the iphone, I want to be able to backup my files when I feel the obvious need to do so (eg. when it breaks)! I also believe I shouldn't have to use other apps for backing it up (which I obviously have to pay for).. I am rather angry with this issue.

    Okay folkes, you were right and I was wrong.. I admit it. But I was pretty mad though when I tryed to backup the last few contacts I needed for work and couldn't do so. Worst things are when something gets broken (by me or whatever) when there is an emergency. I needed the contacts off of that phone real fast and couldn't do it, thats what got me real mad. And btw I am a Russian living in Moscow and instead of having an official Apple store we have shopes called ReStore who resell apple devices with ridiculous prices, same thing with the repairs. It is cheaper to sometimes buy a new iphone then repair an old one.. So there.. but I repaired it and now happy again with my apple device.. Also I know the itunes and icloud are free and I do back it up, this time however I couldn't use them and had to try the iphone extractor app, which is not free. There.. Thanks for the attention every1
