Wi fi Grey out on iOS 8 on iPhone 4S

I have been using iphone 4 s for more than two years. Suddenly the wifi started giving problems and sometimes it used to get greyed out. I tried by resetting network setting after which it used to get enabled. But after some time the problem was the same. I even upgraded to the latest software 8.1.3 through itunes. But it is the wifi is still greyed out. I checked in the internet and came to know that this may be a hardware problem. Can anyone suggest the best way to get the wifi back ?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to get it looked at and be prepared to buy a new phone.

IPhone 4S wifi greyed out on iOS 7 - Apple's in-store response

I was in the Apple Store on London two days ago to complain about my new IPhone 5s having wifi outages and a battery life of about 5 hours (of standby) when a woman came in and asked why her iPhone 4S has a greyed out wifi icon since the upgrade to iOS7. She was told her hardware had failed and that she should buy a new phone, or spend hundreds of pounds having it repaired by Apple. If only I was aware then as I am now that Apple are destroying iPhone 4 phones with their new software;

I presume this is Apple's company policy to sell more units. Sadly I didn't intervene but I wish I knew now that it's a common problem and that Apple are deleting posts on here about it to cover up. This elderly woman's phone was 18months old, so even out of warranty it's with the scope of consumer law for a free replacement.
I hope posting this helps others out there who might be being told similar things.
...my 5s? Refund for me. It doesn't work at all. Worse than the iPhone 4 it replaces in every way.

Is there a technical support question in that conspiracy theory somewhere?

Restriced apps greyed out after iOS 7 upgrade?

I have a cart of iPad2's that I have enabled restrictions on. I had Safari, Camera, iTunes, and Delete Apps disabled in the restrictions. A few weeks ago I upgraded the iPads to iOS 7and now when I go to turn any of those settings back on in restrictions I can not. Any restriction I had previously configured before upgrading to iOS 7 is now greyed out and I can not turn it on or off. This is a nightmare becasue these iPads have TONS of apps on them and are customized for individual students so restoring each one to factory settings would be horrific.
Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

I haven't noticed that issue but I found out today that ever since I updated our student supervised devices, their ability to add an email account under the "Mail" app is now restricted. I have been going crazy trying to see if I accidentally changed a restriction in the profiles but found out that it is only happening to iPads that have had the update done. :-(

Iphone 4s wifi stuck / greyed out at ios 6.1.3

Hey, I just upgraded to ios 6.1.3 and my iphone wifi button greyed out also my processor started hanging a lot so i tried number of methods like software restore, freezer but nothing happened instead i also upgraded to ios 7 and i tried freezer method again which ruined my iphone's audio, now its audio is very less
Can anyone please help.....?

What a a lot of people have been telling me is to turn Airplane Mode on and then reset settings and iPhone, and that should sort it.
I haven't done it myself, But you could give that a go
As for the audio, sorry I don't know about that.
Hope you sort it out soon, my wifi is having trouble also (silly phone)

Greyed Out TV Episodes on My iPhone

Hello,
I use the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 PC to sync with my iPhone 4S, which is running iOS 7.0.2.
Ever since I updated to iOS 7, whenever I connect my iPhone to the computer, it will show that there are 4 new items in "TV Shows" under Devices.
When I click on "TV Shows", there are currently five items listed, but they are all greyed out and cannot be removed. It appears iTunes thinks four of these episodes are unwatched, but I watched all of them to the end.
Anyway, my question is, how can I get iTunes to stop displaying these items? They are no longer on my iPhone, I removed them after I finished watching. They are not in my library either.
All of those episodes are from the iTunes Store, and I should point out that I have purchased more than just these five items since the iOS update, but for some reason the others don't appear like that.
I know this may seem really trivial to some, but it's really been bothering me, so I hope someone can provide some insight. Any help would be appreciated!
Screenshot attached so you'll have a better idea as to what I'm referring to.
Thanks in advance.

There is a high probability that it is a hardware failure. You can try restoring as a new phone, without reloading your backup. If that does not fix it te phone needs repair.

TS3899 Mailbox occasionally becomes greyed out after io7 update on iPhone 5

When I go to mail sometimes one of my mail boxes is greyed out (always the same one). I can see mail in there if I go to 'All Inboxes' but I can't directly access the mailbox until I go to 'Mail, Contacts, Calandars' select the account click on the GMAIL account then click 'Done'. After this the mailbox ceases to be greyed out... until the next time it happens.
I have tried rebooting the iPhone and reseting it. Ihave also deleted the mail account and re-added it but I still get the issue.
Any ideas?

I Have fumbled all day to this resolved, I'll run the battery down and see what happens afterwards. This is not good !

How can I get rid of a greyed out video title on my iPhone 4?

I deleted the video from the phone then trashed it in iTunes. I can't find the video anywhere but it shows up, greyed out, in the list of videos.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

Try checking "Manually manage music and videos on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, click Apply, open the folder on your iPhone on the left sidebar by clicking on the triangle to the left of its name, click on the Movies folder and see if you can click on the video and delete it from there.

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.

TS1559 WiFi greyed out - no WiFi on iPhone 4s with iOS 6.1.3

Two days ago I discovered my phone was suffering from the popular "Greyed out WiFi" syndrome.
On Settings> General> About the WiFi address appears as N/A. Bluetooth is working normally.
I have tried everything I have found on the matter on the Internet: Erasing the iPhone, Resetting Networks Settings, Restoring from iTunes, all of which has only led to my losing all my Apps and most definitely has not fixed the problem.
From what I have read, I believe it is a hardware problem and it cannot be fixed, but I don't undertsand why this happens randomly and for no reason (I updated to iOS 6.1.3 a while ago and only experienced the problem a couple of days ago) and I certainly don't understand how Apple is not responding / taking care of this situation considering the great amount of customers who are not being able to use the WiFi on their phones (which leads to an almost useless iPhone).
One of the most appreciated features of Apple products was the quick and effective technical support it offered, but this kind of issue certainly shows that Apple is changing and will stop treating their customers (who, by the way, pay the highest price on the market for its products) as it used to. The "Greyed out WiFi" is a completely random problem which is in no way caused by the users of the iPhone and Apple should be responsible for it.

hello PH Caulfield,
I had the same problem, I am also a bit disappointed in apple that they never fixed that problem, I had the same thing with my Iphone 4s. You cant fix this problem all you can doe is go to an apple retail seller and show them the problem and they will fore sure swap the phone for a new Iphone 4s

I have a iphone 4s. Recently the wifi greyed out when i was on ios 7.0.4 and itunes said to update the phone to ios 8.0.2 to solve the problem. Today i did it and still wifi is greyed out. In the "About" under Settings, it shows N/A infront of wifi

i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.

There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

Itunes will not let me sync my music after downloading IOS 7 the music is greyed out and will not transfer to my iPhone

Hello, so I have an iphone 4s and just put the update for ios 7 onto my phone but I am having trouble syncing the previous music onto my music app. Itunes will not sync my songs and when i click the "On this Phone" button it shows the songs i want but they are greyed out with a circle next to them. Idk what this means

You cannot drag a song to Touch. It forces you to be organized. Make a list in itunes then drag that list to the Touch icon in the side bar. That should work.

I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
