My iphone 4S 6.1.3 WI-FI has greyed out?

Played on the phone to find the wi-fi wasnt connected so i [did what most normal people would do] turned the phone off and on again. Saw it has greyed out so googled it. Came across the Apple advice thingy which said i should back it up and restore it. so i did.
It worked for about 10mins then it went again. And now its greyed out. Had the phone for about 1 year 4months.. from new!  Now everyone is saying i should go to my nearest apple store so they can charge me loads of money to fix a phone which SHOULDNT have this problem!
Is there no other way to fix it?
PS. Bluetooth still works great?!?

i restored it but instead of installing the backed up stuff straight away. i did it manually and it seems to be working now. Only problem is adding alll the contact singlely again.
Hope that makes sense.
hope it helps other people!
PEACE OUT.

  • TS1559 iPhone 4S Wi-Fi button has greyed out

    iPhone 4S wifi button has greyed out, though I did resolved it through Restore from backup button in iTunes, but after upgrade to iOS 7.1 it has again become greyed out after 2 days of upgrade.
    And I tried even restore with Firmware update, even this has not resolved. Guys any suggestion how to fix this.
    Apple please help resolve this issue, as this is happening with me again, I had the same problem with my iPhone 3G and even at Apple store they couldnt resolve this. (This was 3 years back) and now again I am facing the issue with my iPhone 4S.

    Read and follow all the troubleshooting steps in the article from which this thread was posted.

  • How do i transfer music from my windows 7 computer to my iphone 4s when it says the device has timed out?

    when i connect my iphone 4s to my windows 7 pc, it says the device has timed out so cannot connect. what do i do? i need to transfer music from my pc to my phone but it wont connect. please help, thank you!

    Temporarily disable any security software on the computer, then attempt to sync content to the device.
    If that resolves the problem, contact whomever supports the security software (not Apple) and inquire how to prevent their software from intereferring with iTunes.

  • TS1398 After the 6.0.1. update on my iPhone 4s the option for wifi has greyed out and cannot be selected. What can I do to restore wifi?

    I have held off updated my iPhone 4s with the 6.0.1 but having problems connecting to wifi I thought maybe being out of date was the problem.
    Having done the update the wifi option is now greyed out and cannot be selected at all.  I have rebooted, forgotten networks and turned on and off so many times.  There is nothing wrong with the wifi at home as other devices connect no problem.  What can I do?

    I'll repeat the Apple support pages linked in the previous post:

    Go through the step outlines there starting at the top and work down until you've solved the problem.

  • 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?

  • TS3992 I am not able to backup my iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed out on my phone. The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do?

    I am not able to backup my Iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed outon my phone.  The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do? I need to save my pics, info....etc, because I have to get another phone.

    Back up to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  (You don't need to delete them from your phone afterwards unless you need the space.)
    If you're getting another phone, be sure to delete your iCloud account and turn off iMessage, FaceTime and Game Center before doing so.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661).

  • IPhone 4s Almost all songs and all videos greyed out and will not play

    I bought the iPhone 4s yesterday and have been beating my head against the wall over this problem all night.  I only have about 2,000 songs on the iPhone and about 10 videos.  Some of the songs will play, but all others are greyed out and all videos are greyed out.  When plugged into iTunes the same problem is there, the same songs that do not play are greyed out while the ones that will play are not grey. 

    I've had this issue before. The greyed songs in iTunes are because the original music files have been moved on your computer and itunes can't find them.  Delete all your grayed out songs (might be easier to select all and delete all) ; then drag them all from your music file/folder back into your itunes... then resync.
    Good Luck

  • ITunes 11.4 has greyed out "sync" button and won't back up iPhone 6?

    I have iTunes 11.4 and when I connect my new iPhone 6 it doesn't have the available option to sync. It is greyed out and will not sync. Also, when I press, "back up," it doesn't work either. I have told my iPhone to trust this computer, (same as my computer), and I have reset warnings and tried that again. iTunes 11.4, iPhone 6, 10.6.8, iOS 8.

    I found the solution on this site, and it worked for me:
    http://www.technipages.com/itunes-app-screen-and-options-to-sync-apps-are-grayed -out
    This problem is usually caused by a restriction setting on the device you are syncing with. You may have enabled this setting to prevent your kids from making purchases while you weren’t looking.
    To fix this problem, disable the restriction with these steps.
    From the iPhone, iPod or iPad, select “Settings“.
    Select “General“.
    Tap “Restrictions“.
    Enter the password that was set on the device. If you don’t know it, ask anybody who has handled the device to see if they set a password.
    Slide the “Installing Apps” setting to “On“.

  • TS1398 Updated iphone 4s to ios 7.1.1 - Wifi Greyed Out

    Updated my iphone 4s to IOS 7.1.1 , 4-29-2014, and every since the update to 7.1.1. my WIFI has been greyed out no matter where I am.  I have done all the resets, but resetting to like new, still no WIFI.  This seems to be a on going problem with lots of others.  There are all sorts of ways to attempt to fix.  Today, a co-worker was not able to receive calls after he updated to 7.1.1 and he took to cell provider and he downloaded a patch, which took all of 2 minutes and he is now able to receive calls.  I called Apple support to see if they could help and they said it was a hardware problem and they could sell me a iphone for $199.00.  I believe there should be a patch or something else to do with the Software issue, besides a blow dryer and freezer method,
    Can anyone Help with a solution or advise what the issue is with the 7.1.1 update????  

    I - like so many - am having the same problems. And they are actually getting worst with the phone starting to freeze. Problems started after 7.1.1 was installed. I have tried all recommendations and nothing works. The only procedure that worked temporarily was putting the phone in the freezer (sounds crazy) but it did work. Why Apple does not want to take responsibility and fix the problem is disappointing.

  • I bought an iPhone charger 3 months back its covering has torn out again. I had the same problem with my previous chargers and now this has started getting on my nerves. Why do your chargers suck so much, and why on earth don't do you guys anything?

    I mean seriously, stop working on your earplugs and look at the cheap quality of your chargers. I'm really really disappointed with apple. I have always loved apple and been an i-gadget freak but your chargers just bring my spirit down. GO WORK ON YOUR CHARGERS AND MAKE THEM STRONGER. Because even you know that apple's going down now and if you still have these shrude means of giving away cheap chargers so you can make more money (by making people replace them every once in a while) then you're gonna fall down to the ground because there are better phones and you have competition.
