IOS7 install and still NO wifi or bluetooth!

I have an iOS 4s. All location services, wifi and bluetooth were all operational with iOS5, I upgraded to iOS 5.1 - BAM! no location services, wifi or bluetooth. I have tried all the suggested tricks and still get the same results. My cell provider, Fido (aka Rogers) was and still is uninterested in helping to resolve the issue. Apple is just as helpful, only asking me to pay $250 for a replacement phone - ummm, it's YOUR hardware and YOUR software Apple, that is FAILING! Yet, I am still getting billed for services I CANNOT access, because the iOS and hardware on my 4s are failing. The hope was that iOS7 would solve the location, wifi and bluetooth greyed-out / no services - hope springs eternal. With great anticipation, I dutifly and deftly updated the OSX, iTunes and then to iOS7...only to find the same result, YET AGAIN!
I am giving Apple and Fido one last chance to actually take ownership and replace my iPhone 4S with an iPhone 5, and pray that the location services, wifi and bluetooth actually work - one wonders.

Well, if your phone is out of warranty, that is why they are suggesting the paid replacement. That is an out of warranty replacement. If you cannot get the wifi and other services to work and attempted the troubleshooting in the support document, then I say that is a hardware issue. Also, if installation of iOS 7 had no affect on it, then it is a hardware issue. This again supports why Apple offered an OOW replacement.
No matter what, they would not offer an upgrade replacement even if your device was in warranty. They replaced kind for kind.
The is a user to user technical support forum, not Apple, so complaining here to us will do you no good. If you do not have a question, then you are wasting your time here.

  • My iPad 1 is not responding. I restored to factory settings and when it says to hook up to I tunes it still won't work. I have restarted I tunes and uninstalled and installed and still not working. Help!!!!

    I restored to factory settings and when it says to hook up to I tunes it still won't work. I have restarted I tunes and uninstalled and installed and still not working. Help!!!! Before I reset it it would say not charging but it was still charging. This could be a hardware problem with the I pad.

    Explain exactly what "it won't work" means. The iPad does not respond at all? Does it turnn on? It is not recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer?

  • TS1559 4s iphone grayed out wifi and have taken all steps and still no wifi

    I have turned the phone on and off. Reset the network. Reset the entire phone and still no wifi. When I updated it has never worked properly.
    I have read that many people are having this problem. Why does Apple not have a fix for this.  It is obviously something wrong with the phone.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to reset the phone to get back Wifi let me know.

    Grayed out WiFi is almost always a hardware failure that requires replacment or repair of the phone.  If you tried everything in the article that led you here without success, take to to Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.
    FYI, do NOT try the "freezer" or "hairdryer" methods you may see posted.  At best, they are only temporarly fixes and are likely to cause more damage.

  • 13 in macbook pro (early to mid 2011) : after the update, computer freezes with spinning wheel every 30 seconds first with safari and now with all the applications. I don't have any programs installed and still had good enough memory on the RAM.

    After the update of my 13 in mac book pro (early to mid 2011) , it freezes every 30 seconds with the spinning wheel and now it just freezes. Ive never had this problem until I recently updated. Also, I just checked now for available update ( which there was one), the update would process till the last step and it shows it cannot be expanded? Now my computer wont even restart (just have a grey screen with a cursor). Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on with my computer?
    I also checked the memory and it showed available memory was over 1.5 GB. I dont have any programms installed and do not have backup yet ( dont really need it anyways)
    Problems: first with spinning wheel every 30 seconds and now whole computer just freezes when I restart, it only shows grey screen after the starting sound or it takes about 8 to 10 minutes to restart.
    This ALL happened right after the update with google chrome crashing. I know my apple care plan expired so I cant even go to genius bar. Do you guys know how much it would cost to get it fixed ? Or any recommendations I can do to fix this?

    Try a smc reset:

  • Clean install and still spotlight problems

    I've been having several problems with my system, including problems with spotlight, and so I decided it was time for a clean install. After a clean install to 10.5.2 and then a combo update to 10.5.6, spotlight still is not working correctly. I opened my sys prefs and saw that right after a clean install, there were still settings in my "privacy" list for spotlight from my previous system. I'm assuming then this info is somehow stored locally on each drive? Does that sound right?
    Spotlight starting indexing like normal, but it got to the point where it hangs on 7364159 hours remaining. This was the same issue I had before the clean install.
    so, two questions.
    1- How can I get spotlight to work? I've tried "spotless" and others and it never seems to work correctly.
    2- I've got 4 internal drives, could it be that the drives are two large for indexing? Seems strange but at this point I can't figure out why indexing never finishes.
    Stock 320gb
    seagate 500gb
    2x seagate 1.5 TB
    I really would appreciate any suggestions. I've been really frustrated that spotlight hasn't worked since buying this new Mac Pro.

    I did as suggested and enabling them one by one allowed me to index my system drive but as soon as I started on the 2nd drive (seagate 1.5TB) it started doing the same kinds of things. It looks like it's working and then gets to the same point and the number starts to go up and the status doesn't move. I ran lsof | grep mdworkder in the terminal and I got this

    After leaving it for a while, it doesn't seem to change at all. This is after it had started indexing the drive and then I restarted my computer. Once restarting, it has the spotlight window that says it is calculating the time and it doesn't do anything.

  • Fresh snow leopard install and still same problem. Please help :(

    hello.
    After 10.6.3 update....
    I had issues with trackpad and keyboard freezing on my early 2008 macbook pro.
    I have tried to reset pram, nvram, smc, onyx maintance everything i could think of.
    So i decided to wipe hard drive clean and do fresh install. Everything was working fine until i applied 10.6.3 update.
    Is there any fix for this yet ?
    It still doesnt work good even with fresh install of snow leopard and 10.6.3 update.
    Thank you

    I've read a lot on the Internet about alien UFO crashes too, but that doesn't mean it is a good idea to take them at face value.
    If something doesnt work after clean install then thats updates issue.
    Not necessarily, at least if you mean the OS update itself. Do a little research. This same argument pops up after every OS update. There are no exceptions -- every one of them has been blamed for all manner of post-update problem, linked to each of several different models, & everything else you have read on the Internet about this one. Users also frequently use the "clean install" argument in support of these theories that the update, whichever one it happens to be, is the only possible culprit.
    The problem is these theories rarely prove to have any merit at all, & like with most such things, even when there is some merit to them, the complete explanation is more complicated. For instance, some users do a perfectly executed clean install & then ruin it by reintroducing the same bit of software that was the real problem in the first place. Some users don't know what a clean install is & mistakenly say they did one. Some eventually find & eliminate a different cause for their particular problems but never report that. Sometimes coincidence is involved -- with millions of users upgrading the chances that in some cases it is not are slim to none.
    Basically, it is like anything else on the Internet. You can find something to support anything imaginable because people can imagine anything & too many of them ignore anything that doesn't support that or just don't make the effort to look for it in the first place.

  • Adobe flash won't work. How do I get flash to work? I've uninstalled then installed and still nothing.

    how do I get adobe flash to work? I've uninstalled then downloaded a Flash it says instll complete and then I still get missing plug-in messages.

    Uninstall Flash, reboot, and install new from Adobe.
    Uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Install: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If that doesn't fix it, download Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome . Chrome has an integrated version of Flash, which is a good test to see if Flash is the root issue or not.

  • HND not even installed and still ruining my day

    I installed the EasyLink router configuration software with my new WRT160N router.  I chose not to install the Home Network Defender.
    In the EasyLink software, there is a page to configure HND.  If I go to that page, it prompts me to install the 30 day free trial.  I have no intention of installing the HND software, trial version or otherwise.  If I do not install it, this screen will not let me adjust any of the settings.
    I have, in fact, uninstalled the EasyLink software.  I can reinstall it if necessary, though I'd rather not.  It's useless.
    And yet, when I try to visit an online comic, I get the a Home Network Defender page with the message: The parental controls block websites in this category: Mature Content
    It asks me for a password to turn it off, but I don't even *have* a password because I NEVER SIGNED UP.  Not to mention that the longest it will let me turn it off is 30 minutes.  Where is the option to turn it off permanently?
    In addition to blocking websites, it is drastically slowing down my internet. I cannot play online games with this garbage eating away at my system.  How do I get rid of all the software that was installed to my computer when I installed this router, entirely and permanently?

    Not to mention that my latency had been at a stable 150-300 ms for more than a month prior to getting this router, and after installing the software that came with it my latency is now at a "stable" 700-1400 ms - even after uninstalling the LELA software, and even when don't use the router and instead plug my computer directly into the modem.
    So I would REALLY like to know how to remove it.  I can't work like this.

  • I have 7.0.1 installed. Everytime I open something like Gmail or Google Plus, it says the version of Firefox is outdated and asks to upgrade to the new version. I uninstalled the whole thing and started with a fresh install and still the same problem.

    Even this website thinks I have Firefox 3.2.

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, it shows that you have Firefox 3.5.3.
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''general.useragent.extra.firefox''' <br />
    Right-click that preference and select '''Reset''' <br />
    Then restart Firefox

  • Dreamweaver crashed and would not reopen. Uninstalled, and re-installed and still will not open files or open any start options.

    When I would use command + Z more than 2 times in a row, Dreamweaver would crash. It generally would just start back up. This time it did not. I looked on many forums and tried a bunch of things from restarting the computer, to un/re-installing the program. One forum told me to clear the cache but when i follow the folders in finder, half of them don't even exist.
    When I try to open the program after reinstalling it, the icon will only jump once, and this appears in the corner: but no other options to open anything.
    Has anyone else come across this and found a solution?

    Yes. Can you please tell us the Dreamweaver version and the OS you are working on.
    Thanks!
