Wifi and iCloud Back-up greyed out
So I noticed the other day that my wifi is greyed out and I no longer have the option to turn on my wifi. I looked it up and people have told me to reset all network settings and turn on airplane mode and shut down my phone, and restart it and what not, but it's still not working. Today, I plugged my iPhone into my mom's Mac for the first time and it asked if I wanted to restore to factory settings or restore and then back-up to iCloud memory. None of my back ups for iCloud were available! I went to the iCloud section in settings on my iPhone and apparently the "iCloud Backup" option is dimmed out too, like the Wifi. Unfortunately, I cannot back up to iCloud without wifi, and I cannot connect to my computer without iCloud and I cannot get my wifi to work without restoring my phone, but I can't restore my phone if I don't have anything to back it up to afterwards! I'm signed into the right account on iTunes on my computer, and when I go to iCloud.com it shows that I have my contacts saved and everything. Can anybody helped? My phone is practically useless right now and I don't have a warranty on my phone anymore. HELP PLEASE!
If you can't find the iTunes store app on your iPad then have you hidden it via Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes Store 'off' ?
What do you mean by 'won't back up to icloud', what happens when you try to backup ?

Both my Wifi and my iCloud backup are greyed out.
My wifi and iCloud backup are greyed out on my Iphone 4S and i can't switch them on. I have erased all content and then restored it but it doesn't work. What should I do to fix it?
Use this article: support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Follow all of the troubleshooting steps. You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
If within warranty, it should be free.
If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax. -
How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!
If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
Everything on the phone will be lost.
You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it. -
Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.
Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

I have apple iPhone 4S upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 and everything was working fine suddenly my Wifi was not connecting and found the wifi on/off button is greyed out and to enable it I tried all resets but still my problem have not solved, still wifi is off
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.

I have an iPhone 4S and for some reason when I go to turn my wifi on sometimes it's greys out and Won't let me turn it on so what can I do to fix this ???
If the steps in the article TJBUSMC1973 linked didn't resolve your issue, then the next step would be to have your phone serviced at an Apple store. Good luck

Forward and back buttons greyed out, no forward or back available in right click menu either
After upgrading to the latest FF14 the forward and back buttons and menu versions of forward and back are greyed out.
Tried the sqllite check and it says all my databases are fine. Tried safe mode, same thing. Tried a new profile, same thing.
Any other suggestions?You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.
Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

TS1559 i have done all of the above wifi worked briefly but is greyed out again what can i do
i have followed apples instructions to solve the problem the wifi worked briefly but is greyed out again can anybody help have done ios7 update
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
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 don't some of the photos I took with my iPhone 4S appear on my iPad 3? Both are connected to WiFi and iCloud is activated on both devices.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back. -

My wife's email settings are greyed out, not selectable?
I'm not sure what's going on but she has a iPhone 4S along with a 2009 27" iMac that is fully updated.
However her email accounts ALL have the password missing and when I put in the correct passwords it says it wrong and it won't stay in there.
And the incoming mail server for her iCloud account is greyed out and will not allow me to put in anything. Now this one won't even let me input anything.
So no matter what I put in there for a password even though it's correct it stays empty and then the iCloud won't let me put in the incoming mail server.
Ideas?Anyone?

Ipod does not play music. Instead of playing the song, it just lists the title (like when a song is playing) and then moves to the next song without playing the song. It's as if it automatically forwards to the next song (song titles displays for eve
