IPhone 4S(hit) WiFi disabled

Soon will schedule a 3rd trip to 'Genius Bar' for a new iPhone 4S that has either a working mic or hopefully working WiFi.
Another few hours hustling around, putting important things on hold to attempt to rectify Apple's QC issues. I think I'm done. Samsung?
Probably not but keeps popping to mind.
Apple is a nightmare right now as far as quality control. I Miss Steve Big~Time.

You are not the only one facing this problem, millions of people have this problem including me from very first day . Now you are also welcome in this coummunity.

Please help me.

Have you tried pressing the round button and the on/off switch at the top at the same time and holding them till an Apple icon appears? If that doesn';t work, take it back, you are still under warranty.

HT1688 iPhone 4S no WiFi anywhere iOS 5 after Apple Tech help same issue on iOS 6

ISSUE - can not connect to any WiFi hotspot at all
Several weeks ago my daughters iPhone 4S AT&T (on iOS 5) phone number failed to connect to any WiFi hotspot on her college campus including: campus wide WiFi, Starbucks or her Cisco 1500 WiFi in her dorm room. She has an iPhone 4S under warranty (I think now in the range of 30-20 more days).
The iPhone couldn't find any WiFi at all, but her roommates iPhone 4 worked perfectly everywhere on all hotspots.
So I have been paying for massive data overage charges with AT&T because the iPhone 4S is broken.
AT&T and then APPLE tech support first call 4 hours long
She rented a car and drove home 47 miles (94 miles round trip) and spent the afternoon a few Sundays ago and I spent 4 hours on the phone with AT&T and then Apple support.   I was weird I pointed our that her phone was 0.06GB over capacity e.g. a yellow caution alert in iTunes - but the Apple tech on the phone said just back it up and we would reset and restore it.
We did all the usual stuff with AT&T and then they gave up and moved us to Apple (backups, resets, then a full system factory revert, and restore) - it was brutal I hadn't seen my daughter in 2 months and her entire visit was a tech support nightmare.
Despite saying I did not want her to upgrade to iOS 6.X - the apple tech wanted to do a full restore BUT the restore procedure triggered an unwanted iOS 6.X upgrade (and wiped the phone and started a massive download) without my permission - it was a slow painful 1 hour 40 minute download. Worse yet I kept thinking that if she is 0.06GB over capacity and the iOS 6.X is "bigger" than 5.X what was going to happen to her phone ? The apple tech got testy with me when I pointed this out I had to say "you know if a glass of water is overfilled by 0.06 and you want to replace 2 oz with 3 oz (e.g. the iOS upgrade form 5 to 6 ) then obviously it will spill some more - she didn't get it.
So I have a near 2 hour download - scheduled a call call back but was hung up on (Apples IP phone system couldn't here me talk) and had to go back through AT&T's 611 support number support to get an Apple technician since the Apple line said it was closed - her iPhone was in a limbo 1/2 upgraded state waiting for user input in iTunes.
During the restore (I say during not after) that her WiFi did start working while the apple tech was on the line BUT the restore was still gong on in the background - her camera roll took 16+ hours to restore ( yes sixteen hours !!!) - during which time she left the phone tethered to her Mac-book didn't use it and left her Mac-book attached to a power source.
Overall she says that lost some data and her also her music playlists on her phone, and it did connect to WiFi when the rep was on the line and when she first got back to the her college campus.
Comments (not related to the issue at hand):
1. Overall this was a very very time consuming experience - I am a computer guy (not stupid but not super Mac knowledgeable either) but it seems to me that we should be able to attache the iPhone to iTunes and Apple should be able to remote control everything instead of saying click her click there and having Apple technicians say there is a non-existent menu (she was mixed up between Mac OS-X and Windows PC iTunes) here etc. etc.. Seriously why have the end user involved this is 2012 and if the iTunes is on the Internet there is no excuse for not granting access to Apple Tech!
2. As for iOS 6.X (I loaded it my IPhone 4) your maps are crap and useless I hate it thanks for giving me a worthless mapping system - I gout out my old GPS unit and put it back in my car. Seriously give us back Google maps. My other daughter gets pop-ups upgrade to iOS 6 but can not load iOS 6 because it then says not enough space. What a joke !
---------------------------------------ISSUE recurred after 1-2 days can not connect to any WiFi at all
But it only worked for one (1) or two (2) days and then under iOS 6.X the same issue started happening.   Her iPhone 4S failed to connect to any WiFi hotspot on her college campus (LMU) including: campus wide WiFi, Starbucks or her Cisco 1500 WiFi in her dorm room. The exact same thing.
I keep getting hammered on over use cellular charges from AT&T despite she should be cooked due to all the WiFi radiation coursing through her body on campus form both her own Cisco 1500 hotspot and the campus wide network.
---------------------------------------AT&T tech support second call AT&T said the phone was broken Apple should replace
So it only worked for one (1) or two (2) days despite my daughter driving almost 100 miles and being sucked into a a marathon 4 hour tech support nightmare with Apple. The net result the exact same thing started happening again no WiFi capabilities again. So I had her call AT&T at 611 and the AT&T technician talked to her looked at the lengthy case notes from the prior call e.g. the history and said that the iPhone 4S was defective phone no point in wasting another four hours of every one's time. She was told by AT&T to go to the Apple store get the iPhone replaced as it was under warranty.
Problem is that she has no way to get to the Apple store (no car) so I now have a 94 mile round trip to pick her up and go to an Apple store before her one (1) year warranty expires - as such I made this appointment.
I did some more research and this seems to be a pretty big problem for people - Apple is hiding the issue hoping people just go away and they have no concept of cost and time that they force down customers throughts to debug problems.
It even seems like Apple actually hid a known problem from me during my initial four hour tech nightmare that Tim Cook admitted publicly on Sept 24, 2012 (last few links) see below links for further research:

All in all Apple is really dissapointing me 5 iphones and the newer they get the more bugs 3G worked great no issues, iPhone 4 no major issues, iPhone 4S buggy WiFi - never want to use an iPhone 5 form what I am reading.

No one is going to read your lengthy post.
If the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide don't work, then bring your phone in for replacement.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

Iphone 5 no wifi

Ok, have iphone 5 for like 5 month. This summer it dropped to water.... and i turn it off... left it to dry...etc.
After that, obviesly my iphone was out of garanty, so i took it a part and try to clean it and fix it cause i had a bit of knowledge on electronics. Before i put it a part iphone didnt show any signs of life. After i clean it and put it back together i notice that screen was flickering and later when i put screen a part i found there was a scracth on lcd (probobly from hit on rock in water)... so i boght a new screen from apple and assemble it all together. The important thing to remember is that then wifi was working. Now, when i bought new lcd everything is fine, i can call, take pictures, use iphone as new, but there is no WIFI icon or i can find any available networks. No icon on screen and when i click on wireles search.. its like searching for a couple of seconds then finds nothing. I tried reseting network settings and iphone settings, but nothing, So i figured its dead wifi antenna. I bough the new used one but same thing. Oh, important thing that in general settting wifi has MAC adress!
Oh and this is picture, as you can see there is no sign of wifi icon, but on general it shows mac adress?
I cant figure what is wrong? Please help!
THX

Ok, new moment...
last couple of days i found out that the bluetooth was faulty too...it couldnt find any bluetooth device. But strange thing happenned last day, i was walking near sea harbour, with lots of yachts, ships near by ... then i dont know why i took out my iphone and scanned wifi networks and iphone found 2 networks but locked, named Astra and Astra 1 with fool signal strength. So i walked around a harbour but i couldn't figured from where the signal was coming from. So i took my other phone, HTC and scanned again and i found maybe 6 wireless networks from coffee shops and locale stores, but there was no Astra network on HTC. I searched on iphone again, and again i found only Astra and Astra 1.
My conclusion is maybe my iphone for some reason scans on complete different frequency wireless networks. I dont know why but it can not scan any wifi network in urban area, but maybe signals from radiostations of the ships, boats, maybe they use different frequency? I dont know, maybe just a stupid thought, but still i couldnt fix my iphone problem.
Oh, one more thing, on cellular internet works perfect!
If any of you have any idea please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Wifi disabled

after last iOS update (version 6.0.1), ipod touch (4th gen), any appl. update turns out to be slow until wifi disables itself.

I had this problem with my iPhone 4S and I tied everything, even two restores. The new iOS burned out the wifi thing. I had to get a replacement phone from my nearest Apple store. My phone is still in warranty, but if yours is not, you have to pay the price you bought it for. I bought my iPhone 4S when it first came out so I would have to pay $199 for my 16GB. If you do end up bringing it to an Apple store, make sure your stuff is backed up to iCloud! I made the mistake of only backing it up to my computer and then when I got there, the guy advised me not to restore from the old update because of corrupt data.
if you need a quick fix before getting it checked out, you can take it out of the case and stick it in the freezer for a couple of minutes. As soon as the phone heats up, the wifi grays out again.
Hope this helped!

Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

No, I would recommed to use two separate iCloud accounts for mail, calendars, notes, reminders, contacts etc.
