TS1559 I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and my button is still greyed out?
My wifi button has been greyed out ever since updating to iOS7, is there anyway to undo this update? I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and it still doesnt work!! Any help?
Thanks.
You are correct. This is a very bad hardware error of the WiFi Chip on the Logic Board. The Chip malfunctioned or was previously damaged, but the initialization error was not detected until you Update/Restore the iPhone recently. The Problem was there, just not detected yet. The repair or replacement of the WiFi Chip is very difficult. Because Apple does not repair iPhone 4S, they only replace iPhone 4S, it costs $199.

When I got back from vacation my iPhone stopped to connecting to my home Wi-Fi, also it won't connect to any other Wi-Fi. It will not notify me when I have available networks to connect to. I've reset the network setting countless times and still nothing is working.
Try restoring your phone, first from a backup & then as a new phone.
If you still have issues after restoring as new, the phone has a hardware issue and needs to be replaced. You'll have to bring it to an Apple store to be evaluated.

The wi-fi in my iphone 4S is 'greyed out' and i am not able to switch it on. I have tried resetting the network settings but nothing happened. I can't even download the new iOS7 version as it requires WI-FI to do so. Please help.
I had same problem. I removed the back cover, and warmed wi-fi module by hairdryer of my wife). five days wi-fi works great. I do not know what will happen next.
during operation iphone must be turned off. time of heating is near five minutes. wifi module is located upper the battery, on the upper right corner of device. -
The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning. I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory. What else can I do?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at

4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support. -
Personal hotspot has dissappeared from setting, I tried resetting my network setting but that didn't fix the problem
Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.
FWIW, we are all other users here - you are not addressing Apple. -
I am having a similar problem with my new iPhone 5. I just bought it few days back but unable to use the internet. I am getting a message "not subscribed to a mobile data service". I have reset mobile network setting several times. But the problem doesn't go away.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!
The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

Today my iPod touch 4 generation was dropped. now it just has a white screen. i tried reseting it by clicking the home and lock buttons but nothing helped. what is my problem and how do i fix it?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I bought a second license and I can't find the serial number, I have tried to contact adobe like 4 times and got no luck. Any help on where to find it? is it the same serial as the first copy we have?
Hello,
This order no is for subscription of Adobe Captivate 8. In order to install subscription you need not to enter any serial key .During the installation it will prompt you to enter your Adobe Id and it will validate your subscription after validating your Adobe Id from the server. I mean you have to sign in with your Adobe Id during the installation which you have used at the time of purchasing the subscription.
So for installation and activation you dont need any serial key . Just sign in and it will automatically activate your subscription .
For more information on subscription please click on the link below.

I have tried this at least a dozen times and nothing happens....the dialog box comes up but no signs of downloading occurs even after 3 hours!!
Try to download your MobileMe galleries directly from the Internet:
Go to the System/MobileMe preference pane
Press the button,Visit me.com,
this will bring you to your MMe galleries and you can download the photos from there.
Usually this direct way will be faster.
To be able to use Aperture again, don't press the ok. button, when the MM panel appears, but the "learn more". then you can open the "File" menu in Aperture and use the "Web Accounts" menu entry to "Edit Web accounts" and disable MobileMe in Aperture by deleting it from the accounts list.

installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?
You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.
