Solution for greyed out wi fi have done reset settings
any ideas for greyed out wifi have done the settings reset as suggested on apple site
Try doing a restore in iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414. Make sure you make a backup of your device first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 then restore and setup your phone as new.
If that doesn't work you have a hardware failure and you should contact Apple Care for support or go to an Apple Retail Store.

I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!! -
like so many in the past week . . . iPhone 4S . . . had advised friends etc not to update . . .
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

I have just transferred my iTunes library from a hard drive previously connected to a windows laptop to a MacBook Pro and now all my options for editing info are greyed out. I have seen the answers if still using windows but could find a similar situation to this one.

if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media
when the drive is not connected, +iTunes media folder location+ will default back to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)
and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

I am having trouble looking at video podcasts on my ipod touch. they are all greyed out. I have tried removing them and resyncing. this did not work. any ideas?
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 media 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. -
DAQ Solution Wizard greyed out in Labview 5.1
My DAQ board seems to be work correctly when using MAX, but in LabView the DAQ Solutions Wizard is greyed out. I have a PCI-MIO-16E-4 DAQ board, Labview v5.1 and NI-DAQ v6.9.2f8. I am running Windows 2000.
Make sure that the LabVIEW 5.1 support files have been installed along with NI-DAQ. Go to the Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs >> NI-DAQ >> click Change >> select Add/Remove. If there is a red X next to LabVIEW 5.1 support, then it has not been installed. Install the entire feature and the DAQ Solutions Wizard should work.

Private number option is greyed out . I have tried the airplane mode but no change .
the option to allow or not the mobile number to be private is greyed out.
I have tried the airplane mode suggestion but no change. also the idea of taking the sim card out .
I am in spain and using I phone 5.You mean that "Show My Caller ID" is greyed out & you cannot switch it to off? If so, contact your carrier, as this setting is controlled by the carriers & some carriers do not permit it to be turned off.

My iPhone 4 will not connect to wifi...the option is greyed out...I tried resetting network but nothing happens.
Hello there, LTD1111.
It seems you've done some great troubleshooting so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps you may want to review, and it also provides some additional recommendations if the issue persists:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I have been using iPhone 5 for 2months. There wasn't any problem. But today my phone's speaker suddenly stopped working. Earphone and ear speaker is working normally. I have done reset all settings. But there is no change, still not working.
I think it happened after i plugged into computer by USB cable, and plugged of. Then it stopped working.
Also it had became unresponsive few times before, when i plug into computer.
What should i do now?but can you hear sounds with the earphones on? I guess the only solution to fix this prob is to send my i5 to a nearby Apple and let them check what should be done. anyways can you keep me posted about the status of your iphone 5? :)

Hello everybody, I have the following problem: my apple id was desabled for security reason and I have to reset my password to enable the account again, but when I try to do this, using the e-mail, I've never received such e-mail. When I chose to do this by the security answers, it's not work again, because does not accept my birth date. Can you please somebody help with this issue? Thanks in advance
If you have a rescue email address on your account then you've checked the inbox and spam folder on that account as well, and you've tried requesting the email again ? If you still can't find it then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you.
