The WiFi on my iPhone 4s will not turn on. I need to back up to iCloud in order to replace the phone. A worker at the Apple Store said that if I connected my phone to the computer, then I could back up to iCloud but it doesn't work!
Last weekend I went to the Apple store to replace my phone because the WiFi on my phone is nonfunctional. I need to back up to iCloud before I can replace my phone because I have information on there that needs to be saved. The worker at the Apple store said that, since I cannot connect to WiFi, I needed to plug my phone into my computer in order to back up. I went into iTunes and turned iCloud on, but my phone still will not back up to iCloud. So, I need to know exactly how to back up my iPhone to iCloud without WiFi?

should I restore from an old icloud back up from last month and see if my wifi comes on then?
Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option.

The WiFi button is gray and will not turn on WiFi. When I push the Bluetooth on button, all I get is the spinning gear. It does not go on. What is the problem? Is there a fix?
After trying resets and a full restore, I went to Apple Store. Genius kept me waiting 1/2 hour beyond app'tment time, then had to go through all sorts of tests before concluding the problem was what you said. They replaced the phone. Thanks.

How can i make my wifi turn on my droid maxx
Oh no, ThunderHumper. Let's get your WiFi working smooth. What happens when you go to Settings and turn on WiFi? Does it show turned on but not recognize any WiFi connections? Try turning your phone off then back on to refresh it's services.

My iphone 4s will not turn on or update. I keep getting error 2001
my iphone 4s will not turn on or update. I keep getting error 2001. What do i do?
From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error2001:
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service. -
iPhone 4s will not turn on, a screen shows up telling me to connect to iTunes to restore and update to iOs7, but when I try to restore error 2001 comes up and will not let me restore. I still cannot turn my phone on. None of the troubleshooting tips work, help??
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process.

In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue.

My iPhone 4 will not turn on and is just displaying the itunes symbol not the apple symbol. How do I fix it? My phone died and I went to plug it in and it just displayed the itunes logo. It will not turn on at all. I plugged it into my computer in an attempt to connect to itunes with hoped of it turning on, yet nothing popped up as if it wasn't registering. Please help!

My iphone 5 will not turn on ....I have held both buttons down at the same for a long time and get nothing ...it is fully charged ....and other suggestions?
The screen on my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.3) went dark after unplugging it from the PC. I could still could see a backlight on the screen, but unresponsive. iOS was hung in this state.
I opted to try a reset holding power and home button, which succeeded in turning off the phone.
After that, the screen went completely off. Power button didn't appear to turn on the phone.
Upon plugging back to iTunes, I discovered, even as the screen was pitch black, the phone was actually able to power on, or off if I repeated the reset....I could hear the USB connection chime on the PC every time I powered on or reset. The iOS was in some sort of corrupted state with no screen output.
I couldn't restore to factory settings, as iTunes requires I disable "Find My Phone" on the phone itself, which I couldn't do without screen output. Also tried to put the phone in "Recovery Mode"...didn't work either.
I finally succeeded by:
Logging in via web browser to iCloud, locating the phone with the "Find My Phone" web app, and triggering [Erase]. iCloud reported the phone was successfully erased.
After a minute, the phone rebooted itself and screen output worked again.
I then restored my data and settings from my last backup using iTunes without further issues.
Hope this helps others. -
For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
My iPhone 4 will not turn on. When I plug it into Itunes it says it is n recovery mode. I try to restore it and the error code code 3194. I have tried all the steps what now?
It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.
