Iphone 4s- 6.1.2- wifi greyed out?
Ever since I upgraded from ios 6.1 to 6.1.1 then to 6.1.2 I have had my wifi greyed out and unable to use it. This has been like this for a month now.
I have reset all settings, restored from points before this update, restored and set up as a new iphone, deleted all data and settings.
Still nothing, the problem has persisted.
Will I have to go to Apple Genius bar now? As its really annoying...
Cheers
Call Apple Support or take it to an Apple Store.

i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.
There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

IPhone 4S 6.1.3 wifi greyed out
I tried with airplane mode but still not working.How can I do it again?Help me plz
My WIFI on 2.4GHZ has been random for about six months with the IPHONE 4S. It works fine for a while, then starts to get all glitchy and fails to connect. Thought it was the router, but 5GHZ works fine. Only the IPHONE has the problem.
Have read of others having random WIFI failures. Then read that there is a fix. Apple will try heating up the WIFI chip soldered connections near the earphone side of the motherboard where the WIFI chip is installed. Point is that Apple Genious Bar has this as a known issue, and they should take you seriously. there should be no questioning of your settings, nor should there be attempts to adjust settings. Not sure if Apple Genious Bar has some kind of test for the IPHONE 4S wifi signal strength, but will find out tonight when I visit them.
Others mention they did that themselves with a heat gun or a hair dryer. somehow the expansion of the metal seems to fix the issue.
Am trying this fix mentioned here. will also try putting the IPHONE 4S in the freezer. Either way am going to break it perminant or fix it perminant. My situation never had the GREYED OUT wifi connection, just random failures. -
Is it worth paying to have iphone 4s fixed after wifi greyed out
Hi all my iphone 4s isnt connecting to wifi greyed out since updating ios7 tryed all troubleshooting tips etc its 15 mths old so not covered but after contacting apple i can send it for repair for €211 this seems harsh seens its their fault issue only started due to the update have read why , read loads discussions and so many with same problem So have repair set up is it even worth it or as anyone done this what was outcome ??
Some folks think the problem is due to poor solder connections of the WiFi chip on the card. Heating may expand the joints to cause temporary connectivity. The chip itself could be of low tolerance, and the iOS update causes it to fail the threshold. If you have tried the software resets, then the cure is to reflow the solder of the chip to the WiFi card, or to replace the WiFi card. Apple will not "own" this problem, even though it seems to be widespread. Apple offers to renew your contract for a new iPhone at $199. Certain repair shops will tackle this problem, although many local shops will not. In the US try iFix Miami Beach. See them on eBay <http://www.ebay.com/itm/iPhone-4S-Grayed-Out-Wifi-Wireless-Fix-Repair-Service-Tr usted-Specialists-/161160765436?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1120> for a $69 fix. They fixed my iPhone 4S and returned within a week (even over the Memorial Day holiday weekend). In Europe, I have read about, but have not tried PodMod <http://www.podmod.org> Hope this helps.

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.
This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
Got the dreaded no wifi on my wife's iPhone 4S. Wifi greyed out and no luck with the reset network instructions. Why isn't Apple addressing this issue? We are a family of Apple product users, 2 ipads, an ipad mini, 4 iPhones but one isn't working! Issue began whenwe upgraded the operating system.....
Come on Apple.....get this issue sorted out!Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.

Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy
Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get
If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
The warranty is valid only in the USA. Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone. -
Hi have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix pls
have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix tried everything but not working... what would e the cost of repair ??
It has no correlation. You do not have to have an Apple ID in order house an iPhone. An Apple ID is only needed to use iCloud and iTunes & App Store on an iPhone. You can have an iPhone set up as new, no user data whatsoever, and still connect to wi-fi.
Making a new Apple ID had nothing to do with fixing the wi-fi on your iPhone. It's like saying that putting a new driver into a car suddenly fixed the transmission problem. -

Same exact problem, and the linked how-to repair, does not fix the problem.
Wifi is grayed out, iphone 4s, iOS 8.1.1 update (11/29,14) just killed the wifi dead. iOS 8 updates killed Bluetooth....
I just don't understand this at all.... -
WIFI GREYED OUT AND APPLE WANTS TO CHARGE 200$....
Seriously,
I've had my 4s for about 2 years now and since updating to IOS 7.04 my wifi has greyed out and will not work. I've tried all the reseting issues(airplane mode, reset network settings, erase all settings), all of these have fixed issue for about 20 minutes and then wifi greys out again. I went to an Apple store and they were willing to change the phone for a 200$ fee. Seriously?? I can't believe that Apple would do this. This is my first experience with an Apple product being defective and I was appalled. I was with blackberry for over 10 years and anytime I had an issue with warranty there was not questions asked and device was replaced and I did not have to pay anything. I was at the Apple store at 9am and there was about 50 customers with issues. WOW!! All that to say that I'm now stuck with a device that has now WIFI. This is just great.
Thank you APPLE for your great support!!Like I said on my previous post. I am not complaining about the warranty, If the phone becomes defective and it is my fault and I don't have a warranty anymore, I'm fine with paying to get a new phone. I'm just saying, when its become clear that this is an issue with the update that Apple has sent and to no fault of mine that my wifi is not working anymore(and others can concur that they've been having the same wifi issue after updating to IOS 7 and later), it would be very sincere of a company as big as Apple and seems willing to help their customers stay with their products, that they should be abit more attentive to the consumer that spends their hard earned money on their product. Especially when it seems to be that the phone is not working because of their updates that they have sent.

how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album. trash can is greyed out.
You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

Hey All:
I have an .ipa file that is legit and "signed" (at least I think so) but for some reason will not work on any device. I basically drag the .ipa file into itunes app section and it will show there as a working app.
I select the button that says "install" so that when it syncs it puts it on my ipad or iphone. Once I move over to the iphone or ipad the icon is greyed out with the words waiting or installing under the icon.
Waiting for a half a day at one point before I finally gave up and deleted it from my devices.
Can someone point me in a direction as to what I might be doing wrong? The only thing I can think is that its' not io7.1 compatable but that is all I got.
Thanks
PaulI am assuming you where generating the .ipa file using a UniversalDistribution Provisioning Profile with an iOS Developer Enterprise Account. If so I had the same problem - turned out it was a Certificate issue - what worked for me was when creating the Certificate which I did manually using Keychain Access I left the Common Name field blank and the .ipa installed properly on my devices. Hope this helps.

IPhone from UK can't be replaced in India :( wifi greyed out
My friend gifted me a iPhone 4s last year from UK, after using it from a year the wifi suddenly greyed out/ ocassionally gets connected to wifi but most of the time its out, Now i am in India and have no plans to visit UK, is there anything that i can do as store here says that it would not be replaced in India and i have to visit UK for repair or replacement. Please help
Apple is "answerable", but as has been said, Apple will provide no service, paid or warranty, for an iPhone outside of its country of sale. With just about every country requiring a different model/configuration of iPhone, Apple has apparently decided that it is not feasible for every service center to be able to provide every model, hence the restrictions. Most smartphone manufacturers have the same policy.
This is Apple's policy and there's nothing further any of us, your fellow users, can tell you.
