    Hello Pllumb,
    It sounds like you are unable to turn on Wi-Fi because the option is grayed out in Settings. Use these steps from the following article named:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    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.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • TS1559 i have problem in wifi it's hidden and show a message that : no wifi-fi so how can i fix it ?

    i have problem in wifi it's hidden and show a message that : no wifi-fi

    You said " I tried updating via iTunes but that also produced an error message.".
    What did that error message say?

  • TS1559 i have problem with my iphone as it is disable and need to get all my data as the phone needs at least 40 years to enable accessing it

    I have problem with my iphone as it is disable and need to get all my data as the phone needs at least 40 years to enable accessing it

    If you have never connected the phone to iTunes and backed it up or used iCloud to backup your data, it is lost at this point.
    The only way to get back into the phone is to restore it.

  • TS1559 Is this problem all that rare ?

    This is my second 4S to have this problem, how common is the Wi-Fi failing ?

    Rare is relative. There have been a lot of reports of WiFi not turning on, but there are almost a billion iOS devices, so what percentage actually have the problem?

  • Wifi problems on my iphone 4S

    I have tried everything in regards of having problems connecting to wifi network at home. I even restart the Iphone to its original version. The strange part is that it got connected twice, then it did not work. Either the wifi option is dimmed, or is not recognizing a wifi account to be connected. Do I have a serious issue with my iphone? did anybody else has the same problem? Please help!

    If you can't turn on WiFi on the phone, or if it doesn't connect to ANY networks, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    If the problem is only with your home WiFi, first try restarting your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds. Then there's this troubleshooting article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

  • Why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7

    why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7?
    thankful for answer!

    Well, there are probably dozens of possible answers based on the nature of the problem, so a little more information would be useful.
    Is the WiFi switch greyed out? If so, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Is the problem with only one network? If so, reboot the router by removing all power from it for about 30 seconds. Even if other devices still work on that router (the router and iPhone may have gotten out of sync on the time remaining on the iPhone's IP address lease).
    If the WiFi switch is not greyed out, but the phone doesn't find any networks, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings.
    If that fails, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset All settings.
    And if the problem is not described in this message please provide more information.

  • TS1559 wifi signal strength problem

    my ipad 3 wifi signal strength  is very (increase or decrease) and some time its appear one bar
    please tell me what i do for its solution
    thanks

    Could be a router problem or settings problem.
    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 http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping 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

  • TS1559 none of your resolutions do work... problem came out after 1 year and 5-6 days after i bought the 4s (kind of strange)... hundreds of similar posts are there all over the internet; it has to be a product defect!!! AND NOW??

    i look forward to get a free exchange or at least a free repair service to solve this problem! or maybe it's possible to solve it by releasing some kind of update?? but please do not disappoint all the 4s customers with the same problem as mine, by letting them pay for something which isn't their fault.

    WHAT PROBLEM?  You still have said absolutely nothing about what is wrong!  Nobody here can possible help you solve a technical issue if you won't even say what it is that is wrong in the first place.
    I have zero problems with iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 and iPad 4, and many millions of other iOS 7 users on all sorts of iOS devices are also not having any problems at all, so nobody here has any way of knowing what your problem is if you will not tell us.
    If you have a hardware problem and are out of warranty, then yes, Apple will charge you for an out of warranty replacement.
    And no, you cannot downgrade iOS - Apple has never supported doing that.

  • TS1559 I recently dropped my Ipod and had to restore it i was successful to an extent in terms of just retrieving my songs and not my apps but my real problem is that I am unable to get wi-fi let alone tap on the wi-fi button HELP?

    I recently dropped my ipod touch 32GB 3rd gen. which i had to restore. I was successful to an extent meaning i got most of my songs back minus my apps. but my real issue is that i can't connect to the internet as my ipod says "no wi-fi", the wi-fi icon is also unclickable as it is greyed out. im really lost on what to do any help would be appreciated.

    I think you're right about the hardware problem, i've restored my ipod and the network countless times and it hasn't worked unfortunately but thanks anyway much appreciated. Just one final question, if I take my ipod into an apple store say one in my town centre, are they likely to be able to help me seeing as im not very technically gifted :L

  • TS1559 After performing a software restore in iTunes, the problems remains... I still cannot turn Wifi on as it is still greyed out??? Can anybody help please?

    Have performed software restore and still I am unable to turn my wifi on as the option to turn on is greyed out???
    Can anybody help?.

    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.

  • TS1559 My iPhone 3GS will not now join wifi.  This is a very recent problem and I have tried everything so hope someone can help.  I go Settings then Wifii, it picks up network no problem but then does not download IP Address.

    My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem.  It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey.  I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e.  network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing.  I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem.  Please please what do I do?

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • TS1559 I have a 4s using iOS7. WiFi is grayed out. I had the problem with the previous OS so I upgraded to ios7 with no improvement. I also notice that Airplane mode is not accessible. Tried many online solutions to no avail. Help!-DavidG

    Wifi was dimmed out, (nonselectable), in IOS6 so I upgraded to ios7. Same problem. Tried many "fixes" to no avail. What's wrong with this phone?
