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 still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in
Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

I clicked on Sky go app to install on Sat .It is now Monday night and the app Icon is greyed out and displaying "waiting". Anybody got any ideas?
Often, rebooting, or deleting the waiting app and re-installing, will do the trick.

I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing
Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

Songs bought on iPhone appear in Laptop library...but greyed out and unavailable to be played
I am subscribed to the cloud service. I bought songs on my iPhone and can play them there. On my laptop, they appear greyed out in my library. There is no slash thru the cloud icon...but when I click on the icon to download/play song, the Play option is greyed out.
How do I play a song on my laptop?
Seems the advertising is very misleading: Buy song on any device...pay more money for a service...no longer be able to play it on other devices.Hi,
Are you signed into iTunes match? If so, hold option key whilst turning of match. Close iTunes and then reboot laptop. Open iTunes and turn on match, do so. Once process is complete do you have access to the new tracks?

TS1398 why has my 4s wifi slide button greyed out and won't let me turn wifi on?
My 4s will not connect to wifi anymore. Completely randomly after an overnight charge I think, the wifi slide button is locked at off and will not let me turn it on.
Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if fixed. If not, Restore iPhone with iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.
