No Wifi or bluetooth after 3.1.3 update,gray

I have read the different suggestions to fix this problem,but none work. If I do a back up and restore on my computer to an earlier date,and restore my iPod to the original settings then hook it up to iTunes before the update will this help the problem? Just wondering. At this point I'll try anything,the wifi was a big plus for the iPod,right now whithout it,it's no better than my Sony Walman mp3 player,which by the way has never given me any problems. It seems everytime I have to do an update something happens. I have learned to fix the most common problem with an update,but this time I didn't have to do that,and I was suprised that everything went so well,until I found out that the wifi was missing. If someone know how to fix it,I would be very grateful. Apple should test these updates on their own iPods before they screw up ours,and I mean more than one iPod,not one,it worked,lets roll!!!

This was one of the first articles I read when searching for an answer to this problem. I started with a clean iPod several times but still had a grayed out Wi-Fi. I was hoping to not have to send it off for repair,or visit the Apple Store since it is well over 100 miles away. Everything else works fine with the exception of this. Thanks for the help, if you have any other suggestions on how to solve this problem,I will try anything. Thanks

Iphone 5 will not connect to home wifi or Bluetooth after iOS 7.1.1 update! Using unnecessary data please help!

My iphone 5 will not connect to my home wifi or Bluetooth after I completed the iOS 7.1.1 update. Before the update I was able to connect to my home network with no issues. Now it rarely finds my home network (unless I'm right in front of the router and even still the signal is weak) and when it does find my home wifi network it frequently disconnects from it. I followed previous suggestions to turn off router or forget network settings and re-establish them but it continues to happen.
This also happening with my Bluetooth connection. My iphone 5 would automatically connect to my home phone Bluetooth prior to the iOS 7.1.1 update. But now my device no longer connects, which means my home phone no longer rings when my cell phone is ringing.
I probably would be less worries if I did not have to monitor my data usage with Verizon. However, I do have a limited amount of data to use and I recently reached the max and had to pay extra money due to my wifi being unable to connect. Can anyone please help me with fixing this?

If you have Applecare take it back to the shop and demand a replacement. If not you're stuffed. It's a bug that they've put in the software to get you to buy another iphone. You can maybe warm it up with an hairdryer near the speaker and then turn it off and put it in the freezer for 10 mins then retstart it and wi-fi is there. It could also be a problem with the chip, if you do the freezer thing it comes back.
Apple knows its a problem as there are millions of people out there that it is happening to, in my opinion get shut and get a Samsung!!!! That's what i've done and love my new Samsung S3 Mini miles better than the iphone!!!!
Go on youtube atnd look how many millions of people this has happened to.
Someone needs to put this in the media so they will actually do something the robbing bleeders!!!!!
Also whatever you put on these discussions will get it wiped if Apple don't like what you put!!!!

My iPhone 4 wont tether via WiFi or Bluetooth, after installing Lion

I have not had any problems tethering until after the Lion upgrade. I have tried WiFi and Bluetooth and it looks like Lion is dropping the connection attempts from the phone.
Bluetooth: I deleted the pairing on both iPhone and Macbook and redid the pairing. The PAN connects for a subsecond (green light) and then drops.
WiFi: I removed the phone wifi from known networks and rejoined but no luck. The iPhone thinks it has a valid connection but the Mac wireless connection symbol is a pair of overlapping circles. It appears that some protocols are getting through but many are not.
Nothing changed recently in firewall settings...
Puzzled,
Keith

Sorry, but downgrading the software is not supported by Apple.
Try to set up the phone as new device, as explained in this article:

No WIFI or Bluetooth after 3.0 update

After updating today to 3.0 on my 3G, the Bluetooth and WIFI is unavailable. When I updated, there was a problem which required me to Restore. After the restore, these items became unavailable. I read it might be because I updated on a Windows machine with a Firewall so I restored again with my MacBook, but no luck. When will there be a patch! I need my Bluetooth when I'm driving! Help!

I am one of the victim losing WiFi and Bluetooth (grey out) after OS 3.0 upgrade. I spent hours searching internet and finally recover my WiFi only (but not yet bluetooth). Would like to share if this helps other victims of OS3.0 upgrade.

Not able to switch on WiFi and Bluetooth after upgrading to Windows 10

I was using Windows 7 Home Basic preinstalled with the laptop since 2011. The laptop was working fine. After upgrading to Windows 10 the WiFi and Bluetooth is not working. Tried help from Microsoft remotely. According to them the drivers are not working and there is no updated drivers available for Windows 10 on HP website. The driver installed presently is "Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter".Please help and advise whether to stick with Windows 10 or to roll back to Windows 7 as I have an option to purchase a removable device to use WiFi and Bluetooth.I love the lightness of the new operating system. Please help!!!

If you have already reset your iPad the next would be to restore it agin. After that talk to Apple. Also see previous threads:

Iphone 3gs has no wifi in grey after 4.3.3 update

I have had a 3GS since launch and it is long out of warrenty and when i recently updated my iphone to 4.3.2 firmware i found my wifi in grey reading "no wifi" i was unable to access the wifi menu so i rebooted my phone a bunch of times and the wifi worked again but after a couple of weeks it has stopped working again i have done the following:
Soft reset,
deleted safari history, cache and cookies,
Reset network settings,
Restore and update to 4.3.3,
rebooted a bunch of times.
and still no results i am positive it is not a hardware issue as the bluetooth works fine and as far as i am aware the bluetooth and wifi share the same chip i have never experianced any wifi bugs with ios 3 and ios 4 has killed my wifi completley. I think it is some sort of software issue but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Nouman

i would like to share with you how i fixed my iphone 4s after ios 7.0.4 update and lose of wifi, bluetooth greyed out.
Ive resolved the grayed out wifi bluetooth issue, i just wanted to share thia with you and hope it works for you as well.
Firstly i was innocently upgrading a fully working Iphone 4s no problems ever, after the ios 7.0.4 update i lost all wifi and bluetooth which was grey out.
After having contacted apple they told me like everyone else hardwear issues, i never beleived this from the start as the iphone previously worked fine before the update. Also if you check settings - General - about phone - wifi has no address where as before it was fine.I almost believe in my case the ios 7.0.4 has deactivated the wifi hardware by not re-entering a address upon updating as a issue.
As the iphone is out of warrenty apple informed me if the item has a issue we could replace for £166 for out of warrenty, "what for downloading apple software thats prevented a perfect phone from working"! I informed apple this is a common issue and on the apple support communities site many people have this issue, the response was dont believe anything online.
Literally i searched the entire internet for solutions, from trying to downgrade software and use tinyumbrellas software to alter the host settings to enable itune to download without a popup message of 'this device isnt eligible for the requested build' basiscally a block download. To more obscure solutions such as placing the iphone in a freezer or using a hair dryer. Please check these online for further reference.
I would just like to share the fact if all else fails and you dont believe the obscure solutions work please have another rethinken, as they did in my case as id like to share my resolution with you.Please check online for further references if you prefer, but i to was doubtful about this idea and melting the phone etc.
Fix iphone greyed out wifi bluetooth problem - worked on a iphone 4s with recent ios 7.0.4 update worked fine before update on 7.0.3
1.Place a hairdryer 6 inches away, apply heat for 10 sec.
2.Then remove for a few seconds BE CAREFULL KEEP CHECKING.
3.Then repeat, till phone gets hot and upon the screen the iphone will say to hot to use.
4.Switch phone off and let cool down.
5.When you switch on it reactivates the wifi hardware with the software and you can use wifi and bluetooth again.
Im just a normal person thats had apple products for over 15 years due to being a designer, ive been messed about by apple and tried everything on the net and the only reason i post this is to offer a solution that may work for you as it did for me.
If any one has another opinion then that is there opinion, but this worked in my case and what i state is my experience and thoughts on this issues.All i intend is to try and help others as other online advice helpped me.

WiFi keeps dropping after 10.4.7 update! Is this an isolated incident?

I have no clue what causes this but what I can swear by is that this shlt started happening right after I applied the update. It seems as though when it is in use it is ok but when it is idle it drops connection. I had a black MacBook which was plagued by the same problem. I returned it and upgraded to the MacBook Pro which worked beautifully up until I installed 10.4.7. Anyone have any suggestions?

YUP!
Go with Lincoln's suggestion... the Coconut Wi-FI solution. I use Coconut and have not dropped a connection for a good while.
** Here's a twist to the dropped connections saga: Just for kicks, I stopped using Coconut Wi-Fi to see what would happen; and lo and behold, still NO dropped connections (Ya, it's weird, in a GOOD way, but what the heck is going on?).
So I reviewed all my network Airport settings and noticed that somehow a "$" symbol has appeared in front of my WEP password. Don't know how it got there - I think Coconut Wi-Fi might have put there.
Don't know what the "$" symbol in front of my WEP password means or is intended to do. All I know is that since using Coconut Wi-Fi (and then stopped using it) the dropped connections have ceased in a big way.
So, I'm thrilled with this work-around.

No more wifi and bluetooth after a restoration OS3 to OS4

Hi,
My iPod touch 3G 32go (MC008NF) was updated to OS 4.2.3 and everything was working OK, one day it gave me the screen "connect to iTunes" with the usb cable symbol. I had to make a restore, and I did not pay attention that my last backup was on OS 3.
It works fine, but I lost the wifi and the bluetooth, even after an blank restore, and all the steps mentionned on the apple official assistance guide.
I have then made an upgrade to OS 4.3.5 (8L1) to check if this problem was solved, but no and I still have the same probleme.
The informations menu gives me "Wi-Fi adress : N/A" and "Bluetooth : 00:00:00:00:00:00". The network menu gives me "no Wi-Fi" and the bluetooth menu says "unavailable" (in French...)
I had tried to se someone at the apple store from Paris, but they told me I need to buy a new one.. As this is not my fault but more a problem in the update system I was wondering if someone had a solution for that ?
Thank you
Thibaut

If you tried everthing here, then it is a hardware problem. I know of no solution for fixing the broken one.

Problem with WiFi and Bluetooth after iOS 7.0.4 update

Hello.
Since the iOS 7.0.4 update, I've lost both my bluetooth and my WiFi connection. As some other users has said on previous reviews, the WiFi button stay grayed and the bluetooth shows a spinnig "thinking" wheel, and that's it. Before that update, both services were working just fine.
I was hoping that the 7.0.6 update could fix those errors, but my problem remains.
Any Official comment from Apple about this issue?
Thank you.

IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year. After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore! I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7. The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone. The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone. Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello algee1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility. Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
2. Update software and firmware if necessary
Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

No Wifi Network Detection After 4.0.1 update-Loader Keeps Spinning on & off

All Mac addresses are there Bluetooth Wifi IESN etc, it shows WIFI is on but the circle loader keeps spinning trying to search for networks. No luck.
Ive tryed everything mentioned here, Restore, rollback to 3.1.3 OS reset etc.
The funny this is, the circle loader thing next to WIFI keeping spinning then disappearing. No networks are being detected.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated. Im leaning towards a hardware issue here,isO4 fried my wifi chip?
Thanks,
Joe-

Joe,
I have a 3G, 4.0.1.
I'm having the same problem with my wife's phone. It does not even detect the networks, just spins and spins and spins. I can set my phone (exactly the same set up as hers) right next to it and it sees all the networks with no problem. I have even restored hers with my settings, with no luck. I have searched everywhere and tried everything. I usually get stupid answers like reset your wifi, really, when it works on my two computers and my iphone? I've also seen the put it in you fridge for 10 minutes. I'm about to give up.
About the only real answer I found is that its a hardware problem. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near an Apple store.
