Wi-Fi networking greyed out

I installed 10 Tech Preview on a toshiba A660. Everything worked fine until last weeks update, I am unable to connect via WIFI. The Laptop shows that the Antenna is on. However, in windows under PC Settings, Connections, WIFI; it is off
and it is greyed out and will not allow me to turn it on. I can connect with a hard wire, and I have since updated drivers.

Uninstall the WiFi driver from the Device Manager and reboot.
After the restart let the OS to find your WiFi.
Now update the related driver from the website of the manufacturer (driver for windows 8.1 will work) or if required via Windows update.

Windows Deployment Service. Network Profile Radio Buttons greyed out with R2

Hi All
I have downloaded and setup Server 2008 R2 (not yet activated). I have added the following roles "DHCP Server", "DNS Server", "Active Directory Domain Services" and "Windows Deployment Services". I can PXE boot a test client machine and (using the boot.win from windows 7 dvd) multicast a XP Image to it. This setup is connected via a 100 Mb switch and is an isolated network.
Under windows deployment services - if I right click my server - select properties - network tab "Network Profile is greyed out". I have tried running wdsutil /Set-TransportServer /Server:big /Profile:100Mbps but get the following error message: "Windows Deployment Services Management Utility Version 6.1.7600.16385. Error code 0xC110011F This WDS transport server does not support network profiles.
I have tried this on two hardware setups:
An Intel D915GUX 3GHz 2GB RAM and Marvel Yukon 88E8050 ethernet controller.
An Intel D965 Core2Duo 1.86GHz 2GB RAM and Intel 82566DM Network controller.
Incidently I have done the same setup with Server 2008 (not R2) on the D965 and the Network Profile radio buttons are not greyed out. If I upgrade the same test machine to server 2008 R2 the Network Profile radio buttons are greyed out. Is this a design change, does Server 2008 R2 no longer support network profiles as I am now unable to select 10 100 or 1000 Mbs ?
If more information is required or if anything needs further detail please let me know.
Thanks for any help.

Is there any way at all to manually set or control the network profile? In my environment, a SCCM\WDS multicast stream is bottoming out on speed and network utilization when the stream crosses a Nexus 7009 router. Speeds go from 200 Mbps to 20 mbps. I have
a theory that this "new" automatic configuration is placing the clients in a slow network profile that are on the opposite side of the router and I have been unable to find a way to speed of the transmission. I have also ruled out the "master
client" slowing down the stream buy using different clients only connecting to a stream 1 at a time. I have also ruled out the router as the source of the problem by having a VLC client listen to the multicast stream on the same side of the router as
the slow clients. The VLC client (unknown to SCCM\WDS) was able to receive the transmissions at 20 % utilization / 200 Mbps.

Macbook pro wifi symbol greyed out and will not recognize networks

My Macbook Pro has had an issue since this past fall of having its wifi symbol greyed out with an "X". It also does not recognize wifi networks as in simply no networks show up. Talked to Apple last week and they said to upgrade to Yosemite, but I am still having this issue. Help?

Have you used DVDs that have different region codes? It may be that your DVD drive is locked for a region code different from what Netflix is programmed for.

TS1424 When I ave network coverage, my wi if drops out. I am only able to access my music on my phone when I have no network signal, otherwise all songs are greyed out

I can only access my wi if, when I have no network signal. As soon as I move to a better signal area, my wi Di connection drops out.
I have music on my phone, but again, I cannot access this in the gym, when I have a network signal.
I also cannot access some of my apps, as they are greyed out. Please advise

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to connect an iPod to multiple computers, play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Recognizes Network but 'Join' Option is Greyed Out

Hi All!
I'm visiting my parents in Brasil for the next 4 weeks. They have WPA wireless internet in their house. My MacBook Pro's (OSX 10.5.8)airport sees their wireless network and allows me to type in their passowrd. BUT, the 'Join' button is greyed out. So I can't log onto it. Why is it greyed out? I've tried restarting a few times but to no avail. I've also tried other networks but I have the 'join' option with them. Ummmmm...I'm stumped.
I've checked a variety of different forums and did some google searching but can't find anything. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post
http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

Wi-fi icon greyed out and showing "No Network selected"

I have an iMac (20 inch; early 2009) running Lion and use an Airport Extreme as my router. The Airport Extreme is connected to my computer and all others in the home connect through it wirelessly.
Lately, if the Mac has been off or in sleep mode, when I wake it or turn it o, I'm still connected to the internet but the wi-fi icon is greyed out. When I click on the icon, it shows "No Network Selected" and then begins searching for a network. My network pops up as an available network, but I have to choose it each time.
This never happened until a couple days ago. I haven't made any changes to software, hardware, etc. and all software is up-to-date. The only thing I've done a couple days ago was a soft reset of the Airport Extreme, as my Apple TV was acting strangely. I pushed the reset button and everything was fine with the Apple TV.
No other devices or computers on the network are having any problem with the network.
Could the soft reset have done this? If so, what can I do get the wi-fi and the network to work together again? If not, any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Also, how do I determine the generation of the Airport Extreme? It was purchased in April/May 2009.
Thanks very much.
Sheri

Have you tried power cycling your wireless router? First step would be to turn it off, wait a minute and turn back on. Is this router supporting other wireless equipment, such as computers, and how are they working?
Do a hard reset on the iPad, hold both the sleep and home buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
Reenter all of the network settings manually.
Then try to connect and see if it is working correctly.
Problems like this can be hard to separate router issues from iPad issues until you try several things on each.

Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it. How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks

Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,

Can see my networked ibook but greyed out after trying to connect

When I try to connect to my networked ibook everthing looks normal at first - I can see it in the network window, after selecting it I choose connect, enter user name and password and click ok, I select the name of the volume to mount from the list and .... well, normally within moments I would make the connection, see the HD etc. Now, suddenly, nothing happens. If I try again, this time after pressing connect I see the volume to mount list as before but the choices are greyed out. Any ideas?

TS1559 I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and my button is still greyed out?

My wifi button has been greyed out ever since updating to iOS7, is there anyway to undo this update? I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and it still doesnt work!! Any help?
Thanks.

You are correct. This is a very bad hardware error of the WiFi Chip on the Logic Board. The Chip malfunctioned or was previously damaged, but the initialization error was not detected until you Update/Restore the iPhone recently. The Problem was there, just not detected yet. The repair or replacement of the WiFi Chip is very difficult. Because Apple does not repair iPhone 4S, they only replace iPhone 4S, it costs $199.

TS1398 My iPhone 4s will no longer pick up or connect to any WiFi network. The WiFi button isn't greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up any of the networks I have been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck

The WiFi button is not greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up or connect toany of the networks I have previously been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck. Any suggestions?

If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.

Re: Network icon greyed out in taskbar

For some reason, when if I right-click on the taskbar and select properties - turn system icons on and off -, the network icon is greyed out..
How can I enable it?
What I've tried so far:
- Local Group Policy Editor
- Modify reg file
Details of what I tried:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19085-system-icons-enable-disable.html

Thank you for these suggestions, JoeLouis.
Before I go any further I would like to mention a few details:
(1) the same issue affects the "notification" icon. It is also greyed out.
(2) Even when I click on "always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar", the network and notification icons do not show up.
(3) I bought the laptop 2 weeks ago and I set the OS back to before the very first software I installed. No difference.
(4) I reinstalled the LAN driver yesterday. No difference
Under "notification area icons" if I "hide icons and notifications" for the network, and then reselect "show icon and notifications" I see the following message: This notification icon is not currently active. It will be shown the next time it become active. Not sure if this is a generic windows message or if it is specific to my problem.
If I apply Microsoft Fix it for system icons (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945011/en-us) the network and notification icons completely disappear from the "notification area icons" list. This may indicate a registry issue.
Thank you.

Just an update it is a hardware issue and very common for iPhone 4s. I have to get my phone rewired which basically means new wireless chip. The amount of money I spent on buying an iPhone I should not expect to have anyway hardware problems happening. Make sure you have a warranty as luckily I've saved myself from spending more money to get this problem fixed.
