Wifi disabled

after last iOS update (version 6.0.1), ipod touch (4th gen), any appl. update turns out to be slow until wifi disables itself.

I had this problem with my iPhone 4S and I tied everything, even two restores.  The new iOS burned out the wifi thing.  I had to get a replacement phone from my nearest Apple store.  My phone is still in warranty, but if yours is not, you have to pay the price you bought it for.  I bought my iPhone 4S when it first came out so I would have to pay $199 for my 16GB.  If you do end up bringing it to an Apple store,  make sure your stuff is backed up to iCloud! I made the mistake of only backing it up to my computer and then when I got there, the guy advised me not to restore from the old update because of corrupt data.
if you need a quick fix before getting it checked out, you can take it out of the case and stick it in the freezer for a couple of minutes.  As soon as the phone heats up, the wifi grays out again.
Hope this helped!

    I have an iPhone 4S WiFi disabled. I can not turn on WiFi it does not allow...
    Please help me.

    Have you tried pressing the round button and the on/off switch at the top at the same time and holding them till an Apple icon appears?  If that doesn';t work, take it back, you are still under warranty.

  • Wifi symbol on notification bar with wifi disabled

    Hi,
    since a few days I have a wifi symbol on my notification bar with 1 (number) on the left of the symbol.
    I have wifi disabled but the symbol doesn't disappear.
    Selecting the notification bar I only have calendar entries, nothing else appears that could be related to wifi.
    Any suggestion on what to check ?
    Thanks in advance
    ciao

    Sorry,
    I should have read first entry of the forum :-(
    A simple battery removal and reinsert solved the problem.

  • IOS 7.1 update problem. Wifi disabled, no longer works. Disappointed with apple response

    I have several IOS devices and updated each of them to Apple's release of IOS 7.1.
    Unfortunately my iPhone 4s did not update successfully. It was affected by the widely reported issue regarding WiFi being disabled permanently. After the update to IOS 7.1, wifi is no longer an accessible option on the IPhone 4s.
    After doing some online research and identifying this as a common problem, I tried some of the suggestions available online such as resetting settings and restoring from backup. None of these suggestions worked.
    I brought the iPhone 4s to the apple store at the Rideau Center in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and spoke to one of the employees. He stated that it was not an apple issue and that it was a problem with my phone that would cost $200 to resolve. He said that it was not a problem related to the ios 7.1 update and that it was a "coincidence" that it happened at the same time as the update to ios 7. 1 and was probably an issue with the wifi chip.
    It is surprising to me that applying an update recommended by apple and using the iPhone 4s in the manner in which it was designed (using wifi) would cause this basic function (wifi) to cease to function.
    Wifi is an essential part of my day to day use of this device. I am appalled that apple is denying the problem and has no resolution for it.
    If anyone else this problem, please go to your nearest apple store and let this forum know your experience in getting the issue resolved.

    Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

  • IPad 2 wifi disabled with ios 7

    I have an disabled iPad 2 wifi , and I don't know why.
    I tried to restore with iTunes, but I need to switch off "Find My Phone" but I don't know how, because is impossible to log in the iPad.
    Anybody could help me?

    Just got an android tablet for less than $250. Less powerful processor, but what would you know? Runs VPN and the same streaming apps perfectly for some strange reason. Can AirPlay to my Apple TV and use it as a remote for the Apple TV. Internet works faster than my iPad 4 too. I wasn't going to wait months for an update/fix with not new functionality and only minor aesthetic differences (plus iOS in the car!).
    Hasn't crashed once in 2 days. Haven't been able to say that about my iPad in nearly 6 months.
    Good luck guys!
    2 mac book airs, 2 iPhones, 2 apple TVs, 2 iPads, Mac, TimeCapsule and bunch of crappy cables that break every six months. Let's see how the software updates go for those.

  • Internet Sharing Ethernet to WiFi disables WEP password on Mac Network?

    Hi all,
    I have a curious problem, I'm trying to use internet sharing to share the ethernet connection to my iMac with my iPhone and iPad over wireless (no wifi where I live).
    I can create a network with WEP fine, name it whatever, encrypt it with whatever, my iPhone can connect to it etc. but as soon as I turn the tick box for Internet Sharing on, the network loses its WEP encryption (so it's unprotected) and its name reverts back to "My Name's iMac", even if I set it up as "3423rfgdfgfdg" with WEP.
    Basically turning on Internet Sharing overrides all the options I set up on the network, name, security etc and my WiFi turns into an unprotected internet source and a broadcast of my name, something I don't want where I live.
    Am I crazy in thinking this is a bug not a feature and there must be some solution?
    I honestly look forward to seeing what you guys think, I'm stumped.
    This all used to work perfectly on Snow Leopard, I remember quirks during Lion but I got it to work in the end but I'm on ML now and it just doesn't want to work.

    Hey, thanks for the suggestion but that's exactly what I'm doing.
    See how after you've selected Ethernet in 'Share your connection from' and WiFi in 'To computers using' you then have to click the tick box ( http://cl.ly/image/1v191f2R1F1i ) on the left hand side to actually start the whole process?
    Well regardless of whether I start it up in the 'Sharing' pref first, then set up Wireless options, or set up wireless options, then start it up in the 'Sharing' pref, whatever settings I choose get overriden as soon as I start the sharing.
    The network just defaults to 'Asad's iMac', without protection. I don't understand why.
    P.S. on a side note when creating networksI'm not offered a WPA2 option. Only WEP 40-bit or 128-bit. Dunno if that's connected: http://cl.ly/image/2X2g3w3y0B34

  • IOS 6.1.2 wifi disabled?

    What's up Apple? Fix the Wi-Fi bug that disables Wi-Fi in iOS6

    FishNighy wrote:
    It greyed out.
    It seems it usually happens on 4S
    Correct.
    Whilst Apple has not released any official information on the issue, the general consensus is that there is a Firmware compatibility issue on some models (note: not all) of the iPhone 4S.
    This occured during the jump from iOS 5 to iOS 6.
    The only concrete solution is a device replacement.
    Apple should be assisting with this matter.

  • Iphone 4s on iOS 7.1.2, wifi disabled when phone is locked

    Hey, So i do not have 3g connection. So whenever my iphone is locked the wifi seems to drop until i turn it back on. It never did this before now im receiving iMessages LATE, im talking 5-45 minutes late. What can i do to change this?

    More than likely that is the reason. The only way for you to receive an iMessage is if you are connected to the Internet. If your Wi-Fi is off, as it is when the phone is asleep and you have no other data connection, then messages will not be delivered until you connect to the Internet again. So if you only data connection is Wi-Fi, then you would have to have the device connected to power to maintain a constant Wi-Fi connection. If not, then the connection will go to sleep. If a person that is sending you the message has "Send as SMS" activated on their device, an iMessage failure would result in the message being sent/received as an SMS (regular text message).

  • IPhone 4S(hit) WiFi disabled

    Soon will schedule a 3rd trip to 'Genius Bar' for a new iPhone 4S that has either a working mic or hopefully working WiFi.
    Another few hours hustling around, putting important things on hold to attempt to rectify Apple's QC issues. I think I'm done. Samsung?
    Probably not but keeps popping to mind.
    Apple is a nightmare right now as far as quality control.  I Miss Steve Big~Time.

    You are not the only one facing this problem, millions of people have this problem including me from very first day . Now you are also welcome in this coummunity.

  • Wifi disables when locked, and prevents receiving notifications

    My 3gs running 6.1 turns off wifi when it is locked, i usually keep data usage off when i'm connected to wifi. when i go to unlock the device, it takes about 5 seconds or so to reconnect to wifi, this is annoying, but not important. the true issue i cannot bare is the fact that i do not recieve notifications because of this problem. i would prefer options other than updating, reseting options, ect.

    How can iPods and iPads with no cellular data recieve notifications, facetime etc
