Why is my wifi slider greyed out on the iPhone 4s?

It's been messing up for 3 weeks now, and I'm getting real ******. I cannot adjust my wifi settings to on. It's stuck on the off (greyed out) position.

See if this helps

if not, it is a hardware failure. Contact Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Why is my WIFI option greyed out!? 4S

    Last week I had my iPhone 4S replaced because my wifi option greyed out and the battery life started to drain really fast. 8 days later it's the exact same problem. What's happening here? I bought the phone 11 months ago!!! Up to date software, reset network settings. I have spoke with several other people with the same problem. I expected more from an expensive apple product...
    Please help me Apple! Thanks

    Your replacement should have a minimum of a 90 day warranty, if replaced by Apple.
    If you've followed all of the steps in the troubleshooting article, and your replacement device is still having wi-fi greyed out, then get the device replaced.

  • My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S

    My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S and tried almost everything like putting it in the freezer and the hair drying method and draining the battery and restore my phone and I even contacted the Apple Store and they said I had to pay $19.99 to get it fixed but they dont guarantee that it will work. So I dont want to pay for something that they arent even sure about. I have been looking for a solution to this for weeks now and I dont want to keep using my cellular data and get charged for going over my limit! HELPPPPP!

    It seems you contacted AppleCare who would have charged you a fee of $19.99 for troubleshooting the issue as you must have been out of your 90 days complimentary phone support. The $69.99 would have been for AppleCare Protection plan which would extend your hardware coverage for another year making it 2 from the date of purchase.
    To have your phone evluated at an Apple Retail Store is completely. Also if you are still within your 1 year limited warranty and you need a replacement that would be free of charge. The only time you need to pay for a replacement would be if there was physical or liquid damage to the phone or depending on your country/region if you are out of your 1 year limited warranty.

  • Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

    Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

    I have an update to my issue above, with a Semi-solution found. I brought my Macbook Air back to the Genus bar today and they were able to identify (using “Activity Monitor”) that when the particular iPhoto library was being launched through iPhoto both Photostream and iPhoto's CPU% usage was excessively high (between 100% - 200% each). She discovered that if we turn off Photostream in iCloud settings iPhoto then behaved fast and snappy and CPU% came back down to a healthier level. When we turned Photostream back on the problem continued. After an hour of trying to trouble shoot why Photostream was causing the issue they recommended I keep Photostream turned off until a future software update/fix comes out. The particular Genus I worked with was not familiar with this issue. I’m very happy to at least be able to use iPhoto again, but if anyone has ideas or theories on how the Photostream conflict can be fixed please share. Thanks.

  • HT201077 Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel.

    Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had the same problem. I think it must be caused by the fact that i bought a charger in Apple Store Tokyo, and then entered my email address on the warranty form. Ever since emails in Japanese started appearing. When I now enabled Shared Photo Streams, my friends got invitations from me in Japanese too.
    I was looking everywhere for language settings, but they all seemed in order. On iCloud that is.
    It turns out it was the language settings on my apple-ID, not my iCloud-ID that was wrong, after a purchase at Apple Store Tokyo. Who would have thought that these two IDs were related? Or maybe they should be, but then why are they not even more integrated? Duplicate language settings?
    This solved the problem:
    1. Log into appleid.apple.com
    2. Set the language.
    The real problem however, is that Apple changed my language after a visit to an Apple Store. Come on! I already had a Norwegian apple-ID, a Norwegian credit card, and a Norwegian address. What could possibly make you think that I suddenly spoke Japanese? Ever happened that a tourist visited an Apple Store? Companies needs to learn that customers can make their own decisions, and often do, or want to do it, if they are allowed to do so. Examples of features that was designed not considering this fact: The play button on a Mac always launching iTunes, even though I'm already playing music in Spotify (and never use iTunes for music). Or Spotifys obsession with reporting everything you listen to, turning off the Private Session after 6 hours, so you have to make that setting every time you start playing music.

  • Why is my Wifi access greyed out?

    I have been trying to help mom with her WiFi access on her Iphone 4s.  It used to work fine.  Now all of a sudden the Wifi access is greyed out so she cannot get Wifi.  This is a huge problem because we FaceTime to see each other and now we can't. 
    She took it into the Apple store and was told she would need to pay $200 to have it replaced because they can't repair it; I've been on line and noticed there were thousands of complaints about this issue so I'm wondering why it can't be fixed.  Is it a problem with the hardware and if so why won't Apple fix it?
    Has anyone else experienced this issue and were you able to resolve it?
    Thanks

    Additional Information
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    If no change after following the troubleshooting steps included with the link provided including restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem. Apparently this has been confirmed at the Apple Store and if the iPhone remained under warranty it would have been exchanged under warranty at no charge.

  • Why is my wifi symbol greyed out?

    Hi,
    As the title suggests - my wifi symbol is greyed out (as it used to look when no wifi was available). However - my wifi is working well (I'm on it now!).
    I've done a bit of searching, and the closest problem I can see to this is when people have an exclamation mark on their wifi symbol. However - this isn't the problem I'm having.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks.

    When I click on the symbol, all available networks are displayed. I can click on another network and connect that that fine too. Often, when I swap around wifi networks, the symbol becomes 'blacked out', as I'd expect, rather than greyed out.
    When I click on System Preferences - Network, I see a green light with connected underneath.
    Typically - yes, the symbol is greyed ouf from when I start the computer.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why is 'Print crop marks' greyed out in the Print dialog?

    This is an option in the Print page, so you know where to cut your images aprt. I though this tick-box would become active once I had selected a border size, but no.
    I notice in the training video it's greyed out too, but in the next scene, it's active.
    Any ideas?

    Ian,
    I was trying to make a contact sheet, woth several images on a sheet. (My next question is 'Can I specify the sizes of individual prints?').
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Why is mercury playback engine greyed out on the r9 290

    hey everyone so i just got the r9 290 and i thought CC was meant to enable open cl but the mercury playback is greyed out

    Just a side note, probably ... that's a pretty decent card from "base specs" but on a system with barely enough RAM to operate the programs. You might want to go to the Hardware forum (from the panels on the side of the "Overview" page) and check out for info on that card & the Adobe DVA's.
    I'd also recommend going over to ...
    http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page
    And looking around. Massive and detailed info (accurate, from intensive testing not from specs comparison & theory) on how computer builds and the Adobe DVA's interact.

  • Why Apple is silent about 4s wifi getting greyed out and not responding to this issue? many ppl suffer from this and this is absurd!

    Why Apple is silent about iPhone 4s wifi getting greyed out with iOS updates 8.0.2 and 8.1 and did not respond to this issue officially? Many people are suffering from this affected service. How can you trust us to buy new iPhones when you stop supporting us with the ones we have since they are still upgradable to the latest iOS.
    Is there any chance that we will be given the support and would this issue be fixed with any upcoming updates? My iPhone when its battery is drained totally and I start it again the WIFI works until I try to choose another network or somehow I disable it then blackout!
    This is definitely a software issue that we never had problems before this update.
    Show us that you care for your products at least and provide us with a solution please.

    That doesn't help at all.. I can only have it enabled if the battery gets drained out totally then when I restart it the WIF is on. then back greyed out.. that is not a serious reply, really!
    Yes, it's a serious reply. Did you actually read the information at the link I posted? Especially the last sentence? The fact that it appeared when you updated to iOS 8 has no bearing on the validity of the article. It is not specific to any version.

  • TS1398 My Wifi has completely gone, the option on the slider is greyed out, and the slider won't slide. Tried all the fixes on the forums, (except the fridge/frezzer method), none work. Grrrrr!

    My Wifi has completely gone, the option on the slider is greyed out, and the slider won't slide. Tried all the fixes on the forums, (except the fridge/frezzer method), none work. Grrrrr! This has been an issue since installing new IOS! How long will it take apple to come up with a fix. My carrier offered me an early upgarde at a massively inflated monthly cost (how kind of them!).
