Update to ios 6.1, but still no connection to wifi...

im using an iphone 4s, from ios 6 to ios 6.0.1 and finally ios 6.1, never ever got connected to the wifi at home or office....im very disspointed...

Possible solution. After researching this for a friend (iPhone 4S) here and elsewhere online, turned out he had AppleCare and a phone call to Apple solved the problem. The Apple tech told him that this occurs in less than 1% of iPhones, and is almost always related to a glitch during a system update over wi-fi. He said people spend too much time on support boards, and should be calling Apple! (lol).
The solution is to plug the phone with a USB cable into iTunes on a computer and do a manual "Back Up Now" of the iPhone to "This Computer", not iCloud. Then completely reset the iPhone to factory settings, using "Restore iPhone" in iTunes, or "Erase All Contents and Settings" in Settings - General - Reset on the phone. Then "Restore Backup", again using iTunes. My friend said this fixed the "grey-out" wi-fi settings slider, and restored full connectivity, and he didn't lose any data. Hope this helps some of you! (I personally had no problem with my own iPhone 5).

    Hi Blueandpink,
    If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
    If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
    If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding  down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

    I am Using Apple iPhone 4g 32gb and i have Updated to iOS 6.0 but in Maps i am not able to change the angle with two finger why so ? I have also restored it but not getting

    I have an iPhone 4 also.  If you are referring to the flyover view, its unavailble for the iPhone4.  If you want to rotate the map, hold two fingers on the map for 2-3 seconds and rotate them in opposite directions.
    Hope this helps

  • HT4623 i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

    i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

    I had the same problem. I reset my network settings as iOS 8 on my iPad 3 seemed a bit slow. When I tried to reconnect to the wifi the correct password was not accepted immediately.
    after retrying several times it did manage to join the network. The only observation I had was that I had a weak signal and an iPhone next to me at the time.
    make sure you are close to the wifi signal away from any other wifi devices.

    Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.

  • I have an Ipad 2 Model MC775LL, IOS 6.0.1 (10A523) and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1, but the download is taking too many hours. Is it normal?

    You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

    Althrough I have updated my credit card information, but still unable to use the apple ID.

    If you are making use of a "subscription" desktop application the subscription has to be "active" (paid up).
    Once your updated info is processed you'll be able to use the subscription application.
