Hello Richie,
In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear "grayed out" or dim. If this occurs, you will not be able to turn Wi-Fi on. You may see the following:

If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please refer to the Additional Information section.
Thanks,

Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after Win 8 upgrade - cannot turn WiFi on/off

After many months biding my time I have just embarked upon upgrading my Portege Z930-11G to Windows 8 Pro.
Largely this has gone to plan with the exception that after running the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I've lost the Fn key display and about half the keys no longer seem to function at all.
The only key I ever used routinely is the Fn+F8 option to turn WiFi on/off.
So now I cannot enable the WiFi on the machine.
There must, surely, be a mean to do this but I can't find it. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now as I have a wired LAN in the house but once I get out on the road I'm going to struggle without WiFi.
Before running the upgrade assistant the Fn key brought the key display up across the top of the screen and I surely wish I'd turned WiFi on at that point.
The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the ability to do anything other than disable five on screen notifications for keyboard backlight, power plan, touch pad, cursor overlay and numeric overlay.
All help gratefully received.
Andrew

> So now I cannot enable the WiFi on the machine.
First of all you can enable and disable the WiFi using function key but you can also enable the WLan in Windows 8 settings
Win key + C -> Settings -> Change PC settings -> Wireless
Now you can use the wireless devices slider to enable or disable the WLan.
But to get the FN key working you have to install the +Toshiba Function Key Utility+ for Win 8 and +Toshiba System Driver+ for Win 8

If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby since this is a hardware problem.

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations. On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

Try this DNS server ...
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

TS1398 My Ipad was working but I now can't access the internet. I have tried resetting and turning Wifi on and off. It is just showing as buffering all the time? Please help

My Ipad was working on the internet but it now won't connect. I have tried resetting the network and turning Wifi on and off. When trying to connect it is continuously buffering. Can anyone please help?? Thanks in advance

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I cannot turn on the wifi for my 4G. The button is visible but non functional. Suggestions?

Hello! Does the wifi button look greyed out? Here is a link regarding this issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
What you will need to do is to first to reset network settings by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, NOTE: When you do this all bluetooth/wifi passwords will be forgotten. If the issue persists then we need to do a simple backup and restore.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 on how to backup and restore, when you restore please restore as new, do not restore the backup just yet if the Wifi is greyed out then there is a hardware issue and the device needs to be serviced. Please check your local Apple Store or call into Apple regarding service options and warranty status. Hope this helps!

Once i turn off the wifi i cannot turn it back on.

Once I turn off the WIFI I cannot Turn it back on. I need to restart my computer then it starts working again and if got stuck then if i switch off then I cannot switch it on unless I restart the computer again.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]'''
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
'''[[Firefox hangs]]'''
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit (Mozillazine article)]'''
'''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

I cannot turn on wifi or icloud

i cannot turn on wifi or icloud

What Apple says about this issue is that it happens "in rare instances"
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
What the heck Apple...can't you read a whole bunch of "Greyed Out" wifi problems posted in the communities and still you claim it happens in rare instances? This issue makes iPhone a dumb phone and not a smart phone anymore. If this issues is isolated, then not a hundred people should be experiencing this kind of problem. But no, I see lots of people with the same issue. And what does your Apple Care centers do, especially here in the Philippines? They say they cannot help those who beleived in Apple products and bought one. What these people can only say is that "sorry". The saddest part here is that, the problem in my iPhone 4S happened exactly a week after my warranty expired. Isn't that fun? This means iPhone hardwares only have a year of lifespan. #@$#%#@#$ after paying a huge amount of money, this is what Apple will give back to its customers. A bullcrap of aftersales experience.
I really hope Apple will look into this. After my experience, I am presonally campaigning my friends not to try Apple. Definitely Apple products are not money-worth.
