My iphone wifi icon won't allow me to turn it on

I got this new iPhone 4S about a week or two ago and my wifi refuses to connect! It won't even let me switch it on! This has never happened to any of my old iPhones before.
I've tried:
-turning it off and on
-rebooting it

I've found you need to sync something and then all your audio is available for streaming in the photo settings.

    Restart your phone, hold the home and off button at the same time until the apple symbol comes up.

  • E72 WiFi Icon Won't Turn Off

    Eversince I installed Whatsapp on my E72, the WiFi icon won't turn off. I've tried uninstalling Whatsapp to no avail. I've also installed NetQin to use it to manage resident apps. I've disable all non-core apps and the icon still appears.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I'm hoping that this won't drain my batteries excessingly.
    Many thanks.

    This is not a solution...this is just closing your eyes to a problem...
    When you set Show Wifi Connection to Never..it just stop displaying the icon...
    After setting value to Never, just go and connect to WIFI...now the wifi icon will not be visible...
    So if you are connected to WIFI then you will not get notified.
    I would suggest dont install whatapp unless you are sure as it does some internal setting in Nokia so that wifi remains connected even after you remove whatapp...

  • IPhone 4s connected to home wifi but won't allow connection to internet etc...

    We recently received a new modem from the cable/internet company and although the iPhones indicate they are connected to home wifi they won't connect to facebook, yahoo, google, update email. Basically we are using our data in our home with a working internet. The computers are working fine. I have spent a few hours with the cable company and the phone company trying to solve this issue. They both say it is an issue with the other party....we have not update to the new OS yet... could this be a setting issue within the phone not responding to the new modem? Should we try updating the phones OS?
    my kids are running through their data...any advice would be helpful. I have already had to pay for the unsuccessful help of the cable company.

    My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi. It won't light up for me to slid on. And the few times it does light up, it just sits there and loads and loads.

    Hi there Ashton1334!
    I have a couple of articles here for you that may address your issue. It seems like from your description that this article is going to be the most relevant, and it deals with Wi-Fi settings being greyed out or dim:

  • My iPhone 4 (iOS5) won't allow me to update apps

    When I originally got my iphone 4, I originally synced my phone to a friends computer and got his apps. I later set up my own appleID and started downloading new apps again. However, now my iphone is getting confused about which apps are owned by who, and what my apple ID is. Whenever I try to update apps via my phone it says that i should reset my password via iForgot. I have done this numerous times and it still makes no difference. ( it should be noted that all the apps I got off a friends computer were deleted and I redownloaded them myself before any problems started to occur).
    Interestingly on iTunes, I can log into my account and buy stuff perfectly normally. However, if i want to update apps, its says that there are 22 to update, but then i click the button and there are only two. I then tried logging in on my friends account, tried to update the apps again, and there they were. HOWEVER, these were apps that I had bought, not him. For example, when I originally synced my phone with his laptop, 'Where's my water?" was not even out, but now it won't let me update the app. I have tried logging in and out of the app store on my phone and that works fine, it is just when i try to update old apps that it wont accept my password.
    This problem only seems to have occured since iOS 5 came out. Please if anyone has any ideas, or possible soutions, please let me know.
    thanks.

    Also, just as a note, I restored my iphone last night, and it has made no difference.
    One last thing... On itunes, when i click 'info' on apps that are said to be under my friends account (ie they will only update when he is logged in), it says that i purchased them under my account, yet it won't let me update them.

  • IPhone USB Receiver won't allow iTunes to restore

    My iPhone 4 (5.1.1 OS) won't go into recovery mode and is stuck in DFU mode, even when trying to hold the home and hold buttons for ten seconds, letting go of the home button and holding the hold button. Every time I try to restore in iTunes, it will prepare the iPhone for restoration, and will immediately give me a 1600 or anything between 1600-1604 error (USB disconection errors) when I never physically disconnected it. I've tried it on multiple computers and multiple USB cables.
    iTunes does not recognize the phone unless it is in DFU mode, and my phone will not go into recovery mode.
    I'm passed the desire to get my full backup onto the phone now, and would like to at least just have a functioning phone so I don't have to spend another $200.
    Thanks for all help.

  • Desktop icon won't allow me (administrator) access without me giving permission

    I am the administrator of this system. For a month or two, my clicking on the firefox desktop option requires "administrator's permission." (Private home system)
    Security Certificate is out of date also.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

  • I installed the upgrade with icloud but now i go to settings to changed the "location serives" it won't allow me to turn it "on" ..i can i change this?

    i need up in changing the "location serivces" in my settings..it doesn't allow me to change it.

    If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • My ipod won't allow me to turn the screen sideways anymore. how can i fix that?

    recently i found out that my ipod no longer lets me turn the screen horizontally while typing or surfing safari. i have the ios5.1 update and i wonder if this is a problem or is there somewhere in the settings that lets me change it because i tried looking for that and i couldn't find anything. right now it's getting disturbing so pls help.

    Next to the battery indicator icon is there an arrowed circle with a padlock inside? Id so that means you have the screen-rotation lock turned on. To turn off, double click the Home button, swipe the dock row fully to the right past the music controls and tap the icon.
    Otherwise try the standard fixes:
    - Rest. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Icloud won't allow me to turn off an alias (not delete)

    As a Mobile Me customer, I've beeen waiting for several months to be able to disable one of my aliases. I've moved to iCloud and have tried repeatedly to disable one of my aliases. Every single time I click the check box to disable an alias I receive an error, "Your changes cannot be saved due to a server error, try again later.". I've tried 'later' for days now. What's the problem?

    Reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 touch screen, power light and wifi lights won't turn on

    I bought my HP Photosmart 7510 over a year ago, just past warranty. I've printed less than 50 pages total at home and only 3 photos. Just as of two days ago, the touch screen decided not to work anymore, and the lights that usually come on next to the power button and wifi icon won't come on either. However, when I turn it on, the same tones sound out and the scanner and ink jets move around in their usual set-up. I've troubleshooted with trying several different ways of restarting it, but to no avail.
    HP tech support phone line was a joke, I got told by the first representative (before telling him which product I had or even offering to troubleshoot) that he was going to send a repairman to my house for $149. Over the price of my printer. So I tried calling back and spoke with a young woman who, when I asked if she would help me troubleshoot my printer, said "you can't troubleshoot that, only software". Then insisted that I pay $130 for a new printer. When I asked to be transferred to her supervisor, I was yelled at, told to again buy a new HP printer, and pushed off the phone.
    I have had several HP products, I always seek them out for the brand name and have trusted the merchandise. But one year of life in a product is just silly. And unforturnately, I won't be able to convince myself to buy another one for that kind of lifespan unless I can fix this. I know I'm not the first one with this issue, is there a RECALL I'm not aware of? How can I get this puppy working again?

    Hello cbroomhead,
    I am sorry to hear about your Photosmart 7510's touch screen showing blank and not working. I understand you can still hear the printer warming up when you power it on. I would like to post you a troubleshooting guide below to try in hopes to correct the issue.
    If you have tried all of the steps and the screen is still blank, you can also try another power cable if you have one.
    Blank Control Panel Display
    If you are able to have the screen come back on, also check for a Firmware Update.
    I hope this helps!
