Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4 I do not have the ability to connect to wifi. I can't even move the on/off button at all. Also, the "personal hot spot"
Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4, I cannot connect to wifi. The button is greyed out, so I can't even turn it on. I can't download the upgraded version that fixes some of the bugs because you have to be able to connect to the internet to download it. I also noticed that under "Settings", my Bluetooth and Personal Hot Spot settings are constantly roaming with the circle that just keeps going around and around. I've tried everthing (I think). It was directly related to the 7.0 download because it happened right away. Any ideas? I listen to a lot of eBooks when I commute each day and I need to connect to the internet to download the full versions. I miss my books!!
See if this helps you with the wifi issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

My iphone 5 is not backing up, it's connected to wifi, locked and plugged in. It was automatically backing up regularly until Oct 27, now it just sits in limbo. Now it won't work manually, nothing. Any suggestions out there?
Hi Omanaomi,
It sounds like you may be trying to back up your iPhone to iCloud. Try these methods to initiate the backup first:
iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12520
If you are still unable to back up your iPhone to iCloud, you should see an alert message, the meaning of which can be explained by this article:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages - Apple Support

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Why, after installing IOS 7.0.4 will my iPhone only sync with my MacBook Pro using wi-fi and NOT when using the USB cable? An error message appears citing "Error -50" for which I can find no recent fix online as all the problems are related to some years ago?
Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again! -
Help me solve this please?
I do not want the messages I delete on my iPhone to automatically delete from my account overall.
Cheers!Contact the email provider. That sounds like normal behavior for most IMAP email accounts.

I cannot download the ios 5.1. I'v tried doing it through itunes after downloading the latest itunes. It says that my phone and ipad both have new updates and tries to coonect to update software server. That is where it hangs up and just keeps trying to connect but never does. Then when I try to update my devices over wifi, it tries and thens gives me a download failed message after a few minutes. What do I do?
This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers -

I downloaded ios 6 software to my iphone 4s and ever since i cannot access my sky email, anyone have a solution?
Download latest iOS (5.1.1) to your desktop.
Turn off your iPhone.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone to iTunes while you are holding home button. Hold it until iTunes logo appears on iPhone.
iTunes will show you "Restore message"
Hold "alt" button while you are click on restore.
Now just choose 5.1.1 ipsw you downloaded.
Your iPhone will be restored to 5.1.1
In a future, don't try beta softwares if you are not developer -
Ever since downloading iOS 5 yesterday i keep losing wifi connection on my iPad 2. When it's working the wifi holds for about a minute and then it goes again. I didn't have any problem before the download. Any suggestions would be gratefully received, thanks
I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated. -
TS2755 since downloading ios 7 on my iphone 4 i can't send picture messages.
Since downloading ios 7 on my iphone 4 I can't send picture messages. How do I fix this? I would like to go back to ios 6.1.4 can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks.
If you are a developer you were authorized to use the Beta version of the software and were provided instructions on how to update. If you misplaced those instructions you might get help in the developer forums.
If you are not a developer you have installed unauthorized software on your iPhone. The terms of Use of this forum profit the discussion of unauthorized software or modifications to you phone. -
Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?
At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

I cannot close programs now on my iphone 5 since downloading ios 7. How do you close programs?

hy, does anyone know why my computer doesn't recognise my iphone? I can't seem to make it see the personal hot spot any suggestions? thanks
Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected. -
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes
Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?
Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

Since downloading iOS 7 can't move and scale pics for wallpaper?
Any tips on how to move and scale pics for wallpaper? Cannot be done since downloading iOS 7
I have tried a lot of the suggesstions I've found here and on the web -- the "Accessibility >> Reduce Motion" on/off stuff, editing the original image in Photoshop and e-mailing it to myself (downsized it, changed the overall canvas size of the image, etc., etc.), and I've found that the best fix might just be a combination of some of them, along with some tweaking of the photo...
Ensure that "Reduce Motion" is ON (Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion, set the slider to "on" (green)).
When taking a new photo, take it with your iPhone/iPad, oriented vertically ("Portrait") -- This makes the whole process quite a bit easier.
Access the photo in the "Camera" app.
Tap Edit.
Use the Crop tool to remove excess content from left and right (basically, you want a vertical rectangle, with your subject matter centered in it).
Tap Crop. The image will be slightly enlarged to fit your screen.
Tap Save.
Tap the "square with a vertical arrow" button (bottom left) -- Sorry don't know what this button is called.
Scroll through the options at the bottom of the screen and select "Use as Wallpaper".
Tap Set, then pick which screen(s) should use the photo. Bingo... new, properly-scaled wallpaper.
This is a band-aid at best, but it works. I've also Edited existing photos (taken in Landscape mode (wide)), and if I could crop the desired subject matter to fit in a tall rectangle, it more-or-less worked.
Side note: With "Reduce Motion" set to off, when I applied a photo as a wallpaper, I noticed that, even though I'd cropped it as a vertical rectangle, the image was still force-zoomed, and content was cropped out. Turn it back on, and the image was as I'd cropped it.
Hope this helps!
