IOS 7 (7.1.2) Update disabled my wifi ***?? HELP

So I foolishly only have my backups in the iCloud I just did the update on my 4S and the wifi became disabled. So I restored my device to the latest version as there is no other choice. 7.1.2 screwed me. So even now my wifi is now disabled - so what does that mean???
I\ll tell you. It means I can't restore anything from my iCloud. I'm absolutely screwed. The option isn't even available at the login screen. When I restore the device and setup again as a new device. The wifi is available for a matter of minutes and as soon as it joins the network it becomes disabled so I can't select it again.
I have to restore and it just repeats. This update has messed me up. HELP:.
Any ideas??? Its not the phone as it was working fine up until the second I updated. My wife's phone hasn't done the update so she is fine.

Hi ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
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 complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
Have a great day,
-Joe

IOS 5.1 won't update on my wifi but will on another network

I have tried updating to iOS 5.1 on my ipad 2 and iphone 4s both OTA and via iMac but keep getting software update failed. I then completed an OTA update with my iPhone 4s using my brothers wifi??
can anyone explain why my update will not start on my own wifi?
I use sky broadband netgear router. I have tried restarting the router but it makes no difference, all other internet connections via this wifi are working fine
thanks
chris

It would seem that certain DNS addresses are having trouble connecting to the apple servers - including Sky's. People seem to get round this by changing their DNS address to opendns or google. The catch is that you can't change a sky router's dns address, so you will need to change it on your computer.
Check out this webpage on how to configure your DNS address on your computer

IOS 5.1 Email not updating on certain WiFi networks

All of a sudden, all my iOS devices have stopped updating email on my school's wifi network. All other internet connections are fine (can get on safari, youtube, etc), but Mail does not update. I tried changing the port, but it just kept Verifying and wouldn't change. Unsure if there is something with iOS 5.1 (only started affecting me yesterday. I have tried rebooting my iPad, as well as re-adding the network, but nothing worked. Email still works fine on all other networks I use. Any suggestions?

It could be the network, but what surprises me is that nothing else is being blocked at all. And I can't seem to change the port that Mail is on. I tried a port scan, and it came up that that port is blocked (993), but it also came up that every other port I tried was also blocked. I used a Mac to do a Port Scan for my iPad's IP, but it wasn't detecting any open ports. So I don't know if it is an issue with the network, or perhaps with my iOS devices. The network has 802.1X security I believe (I need a username and password to login), so unsure if this would affect it at all?

New network manager update disabling my wifi

Hi.
Just want let you know that there is something wrong with new network manager. after last update my network was disabled and I couldn't turn it on, when downgrade to previous version is working again ok.
My network card:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (rev c4)
if you need any more info let me know please...

Did you remove the network from the phone and then reset the network settings? Or, did you have to try and select the network again? You also just provided a little more information, you said that you are to the point of entering the password. At first it seemed that you weren't even finding the wifi. If you are getting to the password screen and it is showing an error, try power cycling your router. Unplug the router, leave it off for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it is restarted, then try connecting the phone.

I upgraded to Mavericks and automatic updates disabled printer wifi connection

I upgraded to Mavericks and purchased new HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 printer with wireless connection. Has been working fine until today my system downloaded a bunch of upgrades automatically: I didn't know how to stop the automatic downloads (I was accustomed to deciding which ones I wanted in SnowLeopard!) but it downloaded all of them and I don't know which ones to trash and I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DISINSTALL ANY OF THEM! I am really in a quandary and about to throw the new printer and anyone else I can find out the window~
Here is list of automatic downloads:
OS X NTP Security Update; Security Update 2014-005v. 1.0; Safari v.7.1.2./ Remote Desktop Client Update v.3.7.1/ OS X Update Combined 10.9.5/ iTunes v. 12.0.1/ iBooks Update v. 1.0.1/ HP Printer Software v.3
Now the printer won't connect to Wifi (nor with USB cable)... It was working fine yesterday. I read that some updates block connections but have no idea what to do now???
HELP
Rose

Have you tried removing the HP from Printers & Scanners and then adding it back again to see if this will let you print?
You could also try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane thus requiring you to add them back again. To reset, open Printers & Scanners and right click in the section where your printers are listed, A small pop-up menu will appear. Select it and confirm that you want to reset and then enter your admin password when prompted.

Why is iOS 8.2 not updating on iPhone 5S? It got me to Agree and nothing happens. Am doing the update via a Wifi connection.

Hello,
Why is iOS 8.2 not updating on iPhone 5S? It got the user to Agree to the Terms and Conditions but nothing happens. The user is doing the update via a Wifi connection. Current OS version on the device is 8.1.3. User did a hard reboot of the device and still the same result. Not tried using iTunes as a workaround as we want to know why it's not updating via a Wifi connection. Storage space available is 9G.
If you know of someone who is experiencing the same issue, please let me know the fix. Thank you.

1. I do not know if this will help you or not. In researching this issue with my wife's iPhone 5c 8GB, the most common answer you will get is to adjust this or that setting, and disable this or that App. These at best are only a band-aide solution at all. The best reply I got was from a Verizon Rep that stated "By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress, or information is being back-up wirelessly and the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data if it is left on". Afterwards, I discovered the exact same information here on the Apple Support Forum to support this statement.
2. Later onward, I read that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, it will prevent it from going dormant. In which case, this will prevent the iPhone from turning off the WiFi, and keep it connected to the WiFi. So far, this has help the most in controlling the amount of data usage being used, by my wife's iPhone.

My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

You can try updating using iTunes on the computer, but try this first and let me know how it goes.
1. Restart your device.
2. Disable your Wi-Fi.
3. Turn off your device and keep it off for 5 minutes.
4. Turn your device back on and enable Wi-Fi.
5. Try the download again.

I updated my ipod 5 to ios 7 and now it having issues with wifi connection

I updated my ipod 5 to ios 7 and now it keeps saying my wifi password is incorrect. Ive reset my network settings and it is still not working. any ideas?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT1414 using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything was going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though

I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything seemed to be going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process, when an error window opened up and it said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. I tried to disconnect the phone and was going to do the update at a different time when I could investigate what the problem was. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot. After rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well, I just have a dead phone. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot get it to. I am unable to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me. Craig

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
If you didn't sell it in al this time

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!
