WiFi button is Inactive

my WiFi button is inactive and I cant change its state to be disabled or Enabled. How can I resolve the problem by activating the Key button

First, go to Settings/General/About and scroll down to WiFi Address. Is there a value there for it? If not, restore your phone; connect it to your computer, when it appears in iTunes click on it, the click the Restore button.
If it still doesn't appear after a Restore take it to an Apple store so the geniuses can try to diagnose it. They will exchange it if it is defective.

  • My wifi button isn't working and my iPhone 6 doesn't letme connect to wifi so I have been using 4G for the last 2 days! How can I fix it ?

    OOkay so yesterday my phone kept stuffing up and blacking out so I had to keep rebooting it
    i think it did this about 5 times, the first time it did it and I turned it back on
    eeverything was fine , but then my wifi button went blue and even in settings the option to turn it on isn't available

    Try doing this:
    Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Connections
    Phone will reboot, you will have to enter your WiFi Passwords again - BUT should resolve the problem.

  • IOS 6.1.3 WIFI button disable problem on iPhone4S - It is definitely a BUG

    Hi Apple Fans
    I have a full house of Apple products from iPhone -> iPAD -> iPod -> Mac -> AirPort, and I am suffering from WIFI button disable problem after upgrade to iOS 6.1.3, without any clue after calling Apple Support, factory reset and reload iPhone for more than 10 times.  I also try all tips on Apple Support Communicties except put it into a freezer, still no any luck.  Apple Support suggests that my iPhone may be factly!
    Tonight, I can get my WIFI back in below sequence:
    1. Switch to English language from Chinese
    2. Turn Cellular Data Option to off
    3. Reset Network Setting
    After the phone reset, the WIFI row show 'Not Connected', and I can select my home WIFI (Airport Express) without trouble.  To prove my finding is workable to all case, can you try the same and update here if it works for you?
    Good Luck!
    PS: I always believe it is a BUG.

    Hi,
    I sympathise with you as my iPhone 4s is 7 months old and is also greyed out.  I tried everthing except the potentially stupid one of putting the iphone in a freezer!  I took the phone back to the vendor who sent it away and repaired it.  But alas after a month it is greyed out again.  I have again returned to the vendor and he will repair it again.  I asked him how and he told me it is a software conflict and he has to spend around 9 hours downloading a patch repair.  Apple are aware of this issue and I feel completely let down because they have not posted a fix on the net.  Presently I am living and working in Dubai, back in the UK I am sure my iPhone would have been exchanged for a new one.  I need my iPhone for my work and cannot afford to just buy a new one so I have been let down and despite for years being a supporter of Apple and their products I shall think twice before investing in any more Apple products.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen and it updated by itself to iOS6 without a wifi connection. When I unlocked it, it told me to connect to iTunes. So, I updated the software and when the update was finished, my wifi button was greyed out. I'm cant turn on wifi

    My iPod updated by itself without a wifi connection. It told me to connect it to iTunes so I did and I updated the software and everything. After it was updated, my wifi button was greyed out and I don't know why. I sent it in to get fixed and the Apple store did NOTHING. I still have about 48 days left on my one year waranty and I don't know what to do to fix the problem. Please, does anyone know how to fix this issue without selling it or replacing it? I've tried all the troubleshooting techniques and nothing is working. Someone help.

  • Disconnect from WiFi Button in Yosemite (Faster File Transfers via Airdrop)

    Hi all! Just thought I'd share a great new pro-tip I found that's pretty handy.
    Sometimes file transfers through a complex or busy network with a  (think hotel lobby or coffee shop), Airdrop file transfers can run extremely slow vs. it going from computer to computer via no network (Ad Hoc). I was determined to find a work around for disconnecting from a WiFi network without turning off Wifi.
    Anyways, Yosemite introduced a much asked for feature - The disconnect from WiFi button! Just hold down option while you select the WiFi indicator on the menu bar and click disconnect! Your WiFi will continue to be on and it simply won't connect to that network again. If you now search for other computers in AirDrop, it will find them and be a much faster computer to computer connection.

    Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Test Markup in Mail using the iCloud account.
    Continue testing to see what works in the new User.
    Do you still see the issue?
        If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
        If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
    Finder - my iMac name is - iMacs iMac. All of a sudden it become iMacs iMac (2) and latter iMacs iMac (6). What are these numbers ?
    In System Preferences > Sharing you can see name. When Finder adds a number it indicates it's seeing another drive with the same name. You can select to rename but this could also be an indication of issues at the base level.
    Do you have an external drive that could be used to clone your drive in case you need to do a clean install?

  • Buttons became inactive Flash Builder 4.7

    Hello !
    I realized an application on Flash Builder 4.7. This application has links which dismissals(cross-references) towards plans, maps of various formats (.tif, .dwg...).
    it is situated on a server (Windows 2008) and since a few days, buttons became inactive for those who point at a file (\\ localhost\SIG\image.tif, for example) but continue to work on links URL (http://SIG/...).
    Yet, no evolution of program was recently realized.
    Further to the tests that I realized, I wonder if that would not come from updates Windows.
    Indeed, buttons are inactive on all the PC (Windows 7) which undergo updates frequently. Only my computer PC (Windows XP), connected to no network (except in this case of test) downloads no update and the application works correctly (buttons open the window to 'Download' or to 'Open').
    Maybe that I get lost
    After multitude of researches, I don't too much know what to do any more. Would anybody have had this problem? Does he know how to solve it?
    Thank you in advance for your help. And sorry for my English.
    Good day in all

    I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
    Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
    Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

  • My iphone  3gs does not have a wifi button how can i get one

    as my tittle states i dont have a wifi button can i get one ?

    First things first: you bought this iPhone second-hand from someone you know. That person must have used his iTunes account to activate the phone. Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your computer (Mac or PC, doesn't matter) via USB and have it recognized by iTunes on your computer? If not, you'll have to activate the iPhone first. iTunes will do that for you, provided the former user has notified Apple he has sold his iPhone to you. Then, there's the question of your mobile phone provider: iPhones are network-locked. You can't buy an iPhone from someone who's, say, an Orange customer, then use it on another network than Orange's (in the US, of course, that point is moot). Only way to unlock your phone is to jailbreak it, but it's risky, and frankly, I don't think you'll find a lot of info on this forum on the subject... First off, check on which operator network you friend was.

    After I upgrade my iphone to ISO 7.0.2, wifi button is inactived and I can't activate it. I try to use new screen but it doesn't work. I try to restore ISO 7 to ISO 6, but I got the message "could not be restored. An unknow error occured(3194). If you know how to solve this problwm, please let me know.

    If you're trying to ask if you can downgrade from 7.0.2 to 6.1.3, the answer is no.
