TS1398 WiFi selection in settings is all greyed out - I cannot choose a WiFi connection

Suddenly my WiFi connection on iPhone 4S is kapput. WiFi selection in settings is all greyed out - I cannot choose a WiFi connection

I have the same issue - and I've tried everything listed in these forums and more. Nothing has worked - and I've had the phone less than 24 hours.
I took it to an Apple store to see a Genius this afternoon. They don't say what is wrong, but offered to replace the phone however BEWARE - when they say they will replace it, they often mean with a refurbished device, they will not replace it with a new device. Because I bought mine from a different retailer, even though it is an Apple device failed less than 24 hours out of the box, Apple will not give me a new phone - they acknowledged that it is a manufacturing defect, and couldn't understand why I was not satisfied with receiving a refurbished device. This seems ridiculous to me - I'm a long-time, repeat customer - but that doesn't appear to matter. I've heard great things about Apple customer service, now that I've needed it, I've found it isn't so great after all.
I got in touch with the retailer from whom I purchase the phone - they were shocked that Apple would not replace it - especially since I have Apple Care. They are now trying to get it worked out and obtain a new phone for me.

but dosnt do for ipod..
any ideas cheers.

Normally a greyed out Wifi is a hardware failure, but with some of the problems I've seen with the upgrade to iOS 4 on 3G phones, I'm not convinced the problem/problems aren't related to software. I have two suggestions, neither of which are guaranteed to work: 1. Restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes & not from backup. But first delete any and all .ipsw files on your computer. This will force itunes to re-download the current OS. The .ipsw file can be found here:
OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP: C:\Documents and Settingsusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
7 & Vista: C:\Usersusername\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
You may have to turn on "show all hidden files" to find them.
Once done, reboot your computer, launch itunes, connect your phone & restore as "new". When finished, DO NOT SYNC, rather eject your phone & see if all is working properly. If it is, sync your content back to your phone. If not, proceed AT YOUR OWN RISK!
2. Try and downgrade to 3.1.3 from here:

Note: Before you try this, bear in mind this is NOT endorsed by Apple & that you run the risk of making your phone inoperable.

Wi-fi option on my ipod touch is greyed out?

Hi,
My ipod touch won't connect via wi-fi and the option is greyed out when I try to connect manually. Two other ipod touches in my house are working fine. I've already reset it 3 times and no change.
Help!

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF

IPod Music Library "Greyed Out" in iTunes when I plug my iPod in... help!

Hi... not sure how to explain this, so I'll do my best... if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!
When I plug my video iPod into iTunes via USB, I can see all of the songs in my iPod's music library in iTunes, but they are all "greyed out." The songs in my iTunes are fine and can be accessed, but when I look in the iPod's music library in iTunes, all of the songs show up but are inaccessible. Any ideas??? I'd really appreciate any help!

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Both my Wifi and my iCloud backup are greyed out.

My wifi and iCloud backup are greyed out on my Iphone 4S and i can't switch them on. I have erased all content and then restored it but it doesn't work. What should I do to fix it?

Use this article: support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Follow all of the troubleshooting steps. You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
If within warranty, it should be free.
If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

The wifi button on my iPhone4s has greyed out. How do I sort this?

Wi-Fi greyed out

Itunes music and ipod music are greyed out, can't click them why?

I have about 2,400 songs and only 5 of them i can click and listen on my new ipod touch 5g. i have itunes the newest one, and most of the songs are greyed out also on itunes. so i cant play them on itunes and my ipod. what the ****? i usually download music and drag the file to itunes and also drag it to a folder where i keep all my song files incase it ever needs a "locate file". When i click sync it syncs the music but when it says a song can't be read or written it stops the entire sync process. What do i do?

Do all the songs play in iTunes? If so then:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My Itunes wont start and at the same time the wifi option on my iphone has greyed out, what is the problem?? This is very frustrating

my wi-fi has greyed out, how can i fix this?

The WiFi radio has failed. The phone will need to be replaced.

TS1559 Why are there so many issues with the iPhone 4S? The WiFi setting on the 4S becoming greyed out is certainly NOT a rare instance.

Why does the iPhone 4S keep losing the ability to connect to a WiFi server? This is a repeat issue with one of our phones!

I had the same problem with my iphone 4S, ios 7.1.2. The wifi button was grayed out for some time now. I tried several methods that I found in various forums, including the reset of network settings, airplane mode, fridge and more. NOTHING!
Then I finally did what I wanted to avoid - the heating method, and it worked as follows:
1. iPhone turned on, I held a hair dryer close to it while keeping the screen on and watching it while heating the iphone with the hair dryer.
2. When the temperature warning came up on the screen, I put the iphone aside to cool up in room temperature (shut off the display). I turned it on/off couple of times until I saw that the warning was gone and normal screen came back.
3. The wifi was still grayed out.
4. I then did the network settings reset,
iphone wifi was back to normal!!

TS1398 My Wifi Networks and Bluetooth Bars are greyed out and unavailable.

How do I get them to turn back on? I have already restored it through iTunes and reset network settings on the ipod touch.

Wifi Greyed Out After OS 4.0.2 Upgrade

Well two days ago I updated my IPhone 3G to OS 4.0.2 and now I wish I hadn't....
OS 4.0 was bad enough but after upgrading to 4.0.2 I have now completely lost the ability to connect to Wifi networks.
Basically the wifi option in settings is totally greyed out and it states "No Wifi".
I've tried hard reboot, double hard reboot, reseting network settings.
Wifi worked fine with OS 4.0 but has now gone grey under 4.0.2.
I've had a good look through the forums and can't find anything in relation to a fix.The OS 4.0 update has killed so many peoples wifi is there a fix available yet for this?
If not looks like tonight I will be trying to roll back to OS 3 if I can and fingers crossed this fixes it.
For those who are unaware to make the 3G phone run faster under OS 4.0 make sure you have no Safarai pages open when not using the internet and have turned off the spotlight search under things where its not needed.
Thanks
Steve

I also have the same issue.
It happens when the phone was upgraded to 4.0.1
I sent my 3G to provider and they said that it is a hardware problem. Anyway since my iphone it is not under warranty they do not replace the phone.
Trying to fix the problem I restore the phone twice today. In both cases the wifi works perfectly only for a few moments and then it is lost permanently.
As a result I think that it is not a hardware problem but probably the update 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 cause the issue. With those updates apple tries to fix the antenna problem in iphone 4 as I can remember
