TS1559 my wifi wont turn on, stays grey.Rebooted,restarted, restored.. any suggestions
My wifi will not turn on, stays grey. Rebooted,restored and restarted. Any suggestions?
Everything in that article is prior to restoring as new. If the OP has already restored as new, none of the steps in that article will really matter. This is a known issue in a small percentage of iPhones.
Also, the OP linked to this forum FROM that article you quoted. However, in the future, if the OP has not tried anything, and hasn't linked from that article, definitely refer them to that article.

As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3
As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3
Most likely it's a hardware failure if it's both WiFi and BlueTooth. There are some strange suggestions to try; if these don't work take it to an Apple store for exchange. If it's out of warranty it will cost $199.
Turn off Cellular Data, reboot the phone. try to turn on WiFi.
Put it in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out, then in a freezer for 15 minutes (yes, this is not a joke).
The opposite: Heat it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes.
All of these have worked for someone, but not for most. -
Have tried resetting network, its not in aeroplane mode, have updated software to iOS 4.2.1 and have deleted and reset all functions, wifi and Bluetooth still greyed out. Any suggestions without costing me more $$$ will be greatly appreciated!
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.
A true hardware fix may be found here:

My wifi wont turn on and has no wifi hardware installed displayed. futhermore when i go to turn it on it doesnt let me? ive been reading about mutiple problems with lion which i seem to be having ever since i installed it, but no solutions yet seem to have solved my issue, please help.
Sometimes you can get lucky here with an SMC reset or a PRAM Zap.
Let's try those and see...
This is on your MBP btw? -

wifi wont turn on on iphone
took it to my carrier and the tech guy said that he has seen a couple of cases already after the 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.1.2 updates. There is no fix on the software side since Apple does not acknowledge the issue at all (they make you think you are the moron and not them). The carrier's only recommendation to solve the issue is to buy a new phone! w.t.f....thanks Apple. Now I have to buy a new phone to get the WiFi function back???? just called Apple and since I am over the warranty period by 39 days I am s.o.l. On the bright side, the 6.1.2 did solve my battery drain problem.

My Macbook Pro just randomly shuts down and I have to plug it into power to be able to turn it back on. Anybody got any suggestions?
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. -
in setting-mail,contacts,calendars, all my accounts as well as Add Account shows in grey, non activated. Any suggestions?
Hey Jeremy,
From the Enterprise Deployment Guide:
+Important: When you configure a device to sync with Exchange, all existing calendar+
+and contact information on the device is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer+
+sync contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your device+
+wirelessly with MobileMe services.+
+To change how many day’s worth of data is synced to your device, go to Settings >+
+Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. The default setting is three days.+
