WIFI GREYED OUT AND APPLE WANTS TO CHARGE 200$....

Seriously,
I've had my 4s for about 2 years now and since updating to IOS 7.04 my wifi has greyed out and will not work. I've tried all the reseting issues(airplane mode, reset network settings, erase all settings), all of these have fixed issue for about 20 minutes and then wifi greys out again. I went to an Apple store and they were willing to change the phone for a 200$ fee. Seriously?? I can't believe that Apple would do this. This is my first experience with an Apple product being defective and I was appalled. I was with blackberry for over 10 years and anytime I had an issue with warranty there was not questions asked and device was replaced and I did not have to pay anything. I was at the Apple store at 9am and there was about 50 customers with issues. WOW!! All that to say that I'm now stuck with a device that has now WIFI. This is just great.
Thank you APPLE for your great support!!

Like I said on my previous post. I am not complaining about the warranty, If the phone becomes defective and it is my fault and I don't have a warranty anymore, I'm fine with paying to get a new phone. I'm just saying, when its become clear that this is an issue with the update that Apple has sent and to no fault of mine that my wifi is not working anymore(and others can concur that they've been having the same wifi issue after updating to IOS 7 and later), it would be very sincere of a company as big as Apple and seems willing to help their customers stay with their products, that they should be abit more attentive to the consumer that spends their hard earned money on their product. Especially when it seems to be that the phone is not working because of their updates that they have sent.

  • Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

    Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

    If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
    The warranty is valid only in the USA.  Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.

  • Wifi greyed out and wont turn on

    just did the latest upgrade in software and now my wifi has been greyed out and wont turn on.
    contacted apple and they let me know that it is my problem and will have to buy a new phone. anyone find a way to make the wifi work if the upgrade has a glitch in it?

    I had this same problem - if your phone is still under warrantly then apple will replace it for you for free.
    Otherwise you will need to pay for a replacement.
    They will tell you to reset and restore etc but replacement was the only option for me.

  • WIFI greyed out and already tried resetting

    I recently upgraded my wifi router and had to reset all of my devices.  When I turned my ipod back on, the wifi button is greyed out.  Apple said to reset the settings which I did three times.  But it is still grey.  Any advice?

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • All drum loops in LE 8 are greyed out and Apple loops utility 'can't be installed'

    Hi
    I installed Logic Express 8 and have loads of loops missing, especially the drum loops.
    Even the Apple loops utility is giving me problems. It looks like the Apple loops utility was installed (because I have the icon for it now), but everything inside that utility is greyed out. When I try to re-install it, i get the error message 'Apple Loops Utility can’t be installed on this computer. The specified message could not be found for the index 0.'
    I have a new MAC Mini OS X 10.6.7
    Help would be appreciated.
    UPDATE: I have looked through other related discussions here but could not find the naswer.
    I also just checked in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops to see if the files are  there and of course they are not.
    In fact, funnily enough, there are 0 files in the apple loops (although I do have plenty of loops that do play in LE8, just not the drum loops), which is strange. Where are all the files?????
    I also found the following interesting point in the discussions here:
    'The standard installation doesn't install all the loops. You'll have to do a custom installation and check the GB extras.'
    The problem is that I am never given any option to do a custom installation when I install. It only offers the normal installation mode.

    Hi,
    1. On the newer Macs, iLife 11 or so, only a part of the loops is being installed, and the other part must be downloaded via software update. GB will tell you so if you select a greyed out loop.
    2. Loops should all be in "(your HD)/library/audio/apple loops/apple", not in the user library.
    3. If you find the loops are installed there but aren't shown in LE or in GB, you might want to re-index the loops.
    4. If loops are still missing after re-indexing, drag the loops folder straight above your loop browser and drop them there - this should add the missing loops.

  • IPhone WiFi greyed out and Bluetooth loading forever...

    What I have is a 32GB White iPhone 4. It came pre-owned but undamaged on ebay. What's happening is that when I try to turn on WiFi in settings I cant because it is "greyed out", meaning I cant select anything or switch the toggle. Also, my bluetooth isnt working either and the option to turn it on is replaced by it showing the spinning "loading" icon forever. On top of all this, when I go to check the MAC address, it shows it as "Wifi Address: N/A".
    I have tried resetting network settings, tried restoring from iTunes, tried DFU mode, consulted Apple about a 125GBP repair (Which I think is too expensive)... And when I got REALLY desperate, I even tried the infamous freezer trick.
    What should I do? How can I fix this cost effectively and determine whether this device is suffering hardware or software-wise?
    Thanks in advance,
    Themankymoo

    I guess if you have already tried it that many times then it really must be hardware. Obviously opening it up is not something Apple supports and it would void the warranty but since it doesn't exactly have one that is really up to you. If you can find a kit somewhere online or if you have some shop near by that will fix it for you for much less than the $149 to replace with Apple then thats a very open option that you have available.

  • Ipod touch 5th wifi greyed out and turned off. Will not turn on.

    I combed through FAQs and communities and see that I am one of the lucky people with 2 iPod touch 5th Gens with greyed out Wifi that will absolutely not turn on.  I have tried all the suggestions out there, resetting heating, cooling, etc.  I have updated to ios 8. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem?  Of course these are no longer covered with Apple Care.  You would think Apple would have a replacement program for this problem since there are plenty of people having this issue.

  • HT201335 Apple TV stopped showing up on AirPlay, and Apple want to charge me $19.00 +tax to ask a question.

    After I updated AppleTV to 5.2 and iOS to 5.1.1 on my iPad, Apple TV stopped showing up on AirPlay. I searched for an answer on the Internet with no luck and I asked support through Apple's website. I was able to talked to someone on the phone from Apple but he said I have to pay $19 + tax. He said I will find answer on Apple support page, but I still don't have any answer. Please help me!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • My wifi is greyed out and won't go on.

    Why is my wifi greyed out and I can't turn it on. I tried turning off my phone and it didn't work.

    Does that mean I have to get a new phone because I am passed my warranty I have had my phone 1 year and three months. This seems to be the software updates problem and I don't understand why I have to pay for a new phone, this is stupid. If I would of known about this problem I wouldn't of done the update. And to think I thought Apple was good.

  • TS1559 my wi-fi is greyed Out , and no solutions works !

    My wi-fi is Greyed Out , no solution works !

    like most others, i've tried every suggested restart, reset, restore - with only temporary success.  the issues always come back and it's either the wifi or bluetooth and most times both that stop working (wifi greyed out and bluetooth constantly searching). 
    i took my 4s into the apple store today and they tried the same steps.  i asked if there was any way to go back to a prior version of ios (to when the wifi and bluetooth were actually working), and he said there was not. he also said that it could be a hardware issue.
    he said there were two options - full restore and dfu rewrite which could be a 'free' fix, or i have to pay $199 for a repair/replacement.  i went with the restore / dfu rewrite as i'm in no mood to pay for an issue that apple likely caused with the 6.1 update.  he brought out my phone and it appeared fine, with both wifi and bluetooth working in the store. however, by the time i got home the wifi was no longer working and the bluetooth was acting up (disconnecting and reconnecting). 
    of course, my phone is two months out of warranty - a $799 piece of hardware that has only lasted 14 months before a hardware failure?  it doesn't take an engineer to realize that something caused this issue and now they want me to pay $199 more for a replacement after bricking my wifi/bluetooth with their update?
    i'm usually a very patient person, but this is absolutely frustrating. i've applied an apple update and now the wifi/bluetooth are not functional.  with so many of these issues (see the 200,000+ views in the forums), apple knows they have a problem and are not being very forthcoming with it.  as a loyal apple customer (typing on my macbook pro) this will definitely have an effect on my future product purchases.

  • Iphone 4s- 6.1.2- wifi greyed out?

    Ever since I upgraded from ios 6.1 to 6.1.1 then to 6.1.2 I have had my wifi greyed out and unable to use it. This has been like this for a month now.
    I have reset all settings, restored from points before this update, restored and set up as a new iphone, deleted all data and settings.
    Still nothing, the problem has persisted.
    Will I have to go to Apple Genius bar now? As its really annoying...
    Cheers

    Call Apple Support or take it to an Apple Store.

  • I pad 2 updated to iOS 6.1.3 and now wifi is greyed out. Apple support engineers say replace but my warranty exited 09/12. Funny how it worked perfectly fine before the update.

    I just updated to6.1.3 and now my wifi button is greyed out. Apple support said it is a hardware issue. Funny how it worked just fine on the previous iOS. Now apple wants me to buy a replace not because my warranty expired 09/12. Seems to me like ios6.1.3 was an update to sell more products. Tried all suggested fixes with no success. With all the noted issues with ios6 there may be another class action lawsuit coming. Apple tech senior advisor unwilling to help. First advisor told me just buy a new I pad. Second advisor wants me to pay for a replacement. Can someone explain to me how an apple approved software upgrade that damaged my i pad is classified as my fault. I've seen some shady selling techniques but this one takes the cake in my book. Anyone have the contact information to higher up executives in apple for me to speak with about my issues?

    Have you check the following?
    Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
    Ensure that your device is using the latest software.
    If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTune

  • Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

    Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

    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.
