No one here can know why for certain, and yes.
If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or something else.

    Can you unlock an iphone 4 without a sim
    card?

    What are you referring to in regards to unlocking. Are you talking about unlocking the screen with a passcode, or unlocking the device from the carrier the phone is locked to?
    If you are referring to unlocking the phone from the carrier so it can be used with other carriers, you need to make contact with the carrier it is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking services and if you qualify for the unlock. They will provide you with instructions on what to do after that.

  • Can you start a iPhone 4S without a SIM card? Because mine is arriving next week.

    Can you start a iphone4s without a SIM card? Because mine is arriving next week.

    Turning an iPhone or any phone for that matter on has nothing to do with a SIM being installed.
    All iPhones require a SIM card for activation.  The SIM does not need to be active, but it must be from the carrier the device is locked to.

  • Can I activate an unlocked iPhone 6 without a sim card?

    My iPhone 4s was stolen in Mexico and according to my find my iPhone app, its offline. I am assuming I will never see it again. I am currently in the USA but am originally from Australia. I will be in the States until mid February. I kind of need a phone and was thinking of just purchasing an unlocked iPhone 6 whilst in the States. A lot of retail stores don't seem to sell unlocked phones, but I see I can purchase one from the apple store. I was just wondering if I purchased an unlocked iPhone 6 from the apple store with no sim card, would I be able to activate it without a sim? I have my old phone backed up on my laptop so I am hoping just to restore it to my new phone. Then I plan to use the phone with no sim until I arrive back home in Australia where I can purchase a sim with my home carrier and transfer my number back. Am I able to do this? I only intend to use my phone when connected to Wi-Fi. Any help is great

    I'm not sure if it comes with a carrier. It was given to me by my travel agent but didn't really intend to use it. It says JT - Jersey Telecom (not sure what that means?). I have to activate the sim on a website called www.rechargeminutes.com. But looking at the sim, I am unsure if it would fit in an iPhone 6 because I was reading that they are different sizes?

  • Why can't i connect to any gamecenter on my iPad?

    Why can't i connect to any gamecenter on my iPad?
    When i play,  i use my gamecenter to play with my friends. But it won't work!
    And sometimes when i play a game, my screen get out of the game.
    I really need help to fix this!
    And i use iOS 7 on a iPad 2

    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.

  • Why can't i connect to any of my bluetooth devices that i have already paired?

    Why can't I connect to any of my Bluetooth devices i have already paired with?

    You say "I am paired" but unless you are a Bluetooth device yourself, what device are you trying to send files from? A computer? A mobile phone? If the latter, which one?
    To send files Mac to Mac, Bluetooth Sharing needs to be enabled on both Macs in the Sharing system preferences pane.
    If you are trying to send files between a Mac and an iOS device via Bluetooth, then that won't work as iOS devices don't have that functionality.

  • Why can I not import pictures any more? Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

    Why can I not import pictures any more?
    Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

    PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
    What I have done:
    I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
    I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
    I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
    Trouble 1:
    Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
    Trouble 2:
    I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.
    Help:
    I would very appreciate if anybody can help me, either to trouble 1 or to trouble 2. Thanks.

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • Im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?

    Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article?  If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
    Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one?  If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
    Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.  That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur.
