Wifi icon greyed out, but connected
Just got a new iMac and everything was running smoothly, until I noticed the wifi icon in the menu bar is greyed out. When I click on it, my connection shows with all darkened bars in the list, but the icon at the top is still greyed out. Can anyone help with this?
Have you by chance moved any system files?
Click the AirPort icon in the status menu bar to make sure it's turned on.
Could be your router. Check out this article > http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/wifi-dropping-in-os-x-lion-fixes/

My iPad 2 3g wifi is greyed out. Bluetooth connection and celluar work great. wifi address N/A...
Wow... I've researched so much about this topic.
The story is, the ipad was on top on a car and it fell off while driving down the road. The driver realized what happened, but it was to late. Several 18 wheelers were behind him and it was TOAST! Luckily he turned it on and it worked! So, he asks me to fix it.
I replace the shattered screen and everything was great! Except the wifi was greyed out... I did almost everything from hard reset, to updates, to reformat it etc.
No luck... then I bought 2 new wifi replacements and no luck... except when I installed the first wifi replacement, it worked! I connected it to my wireless at home and left for a little bit then came back and it wasn't working! I've tried everything... reconnected it to the chip onboard...
So, I decided to take it apart again and install the 2nd wifi antenna i bought, still no luck.
Not sure... maybe the wireless chip it connects to is bad.
Just wondering why the bluetooth is working and the wireless isn't...
Thanks for any help!!!Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

If fault continues, get the iPhone changed. -
wifi greyed out but can turn on via control centre but now cant entre wifi passwords as i restored my phone
I would try a restore, but more than likely this is hardware.
I would call apple, and i hope you're covered under warranty because it sounds like your wifi module is no good. -
i hav an iphone 4s and its wifi is greyed out (dimmed). I tried by resetting the network settings and also restarted my device but it didn't worked. but i haven't unlocked my phone yet and im running it in ios 6.1.3. now wat to do?
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.

About three days ago my ipod said i needed to sync and so i did . when i did it stop working and the wifi is grey out and says no wifi . Ive tried rebooting it , reseting , restarting but nothing seems to work . Can anybody help me ? Please !
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information -
i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.
There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

My iPhone's WiFi was working great on iOS 6.0.1 till 13th Feb'13 no problems whatsoever, until yesterday it failed over night without me knowing. The WiFi option was still available but unable to connect to my home network and when I rebooted the phone, the WiFI was greyed out. It has not been working since.
Somehow i manageed to install 6.1.1 and i thought it may fix the problem but same problem...the WiFI is still greyed out. I do not understand why it has failed. I bought this 4S in July and have never dropped it .The WiFi was working great till yesterday and suddently this happened. I won't understand what kind of application/phone Apps have released. Its seem they are just want to stay in the market instead giving a good service to their customer.
I have reseted the network settings, restored the phone and even tried using the phone as new and this has still not fixed the problem.
Never expect such kind of phone from a company like Apple.It takes two to Tango. But it was technically a Software Error in the boot sequence, but the Hardware is actively reading the boot information and has to respond accordingly. Sounds like it was a one time glitch. Keep an eye on it. You iPhone still has full Warranty.

My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
Do you have any solution to my problem?
It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
Thank you so much.Your Service and Support Coverage

My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S
My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S and tried almost everything like putting it in the freezer and the hair drying method and draining the battery and restore my phone and I even contacted the Apple Store and they said I had to pay $19.99 to get it fixed but they dont guarantee that it will work. So I dont want to pay for something that they arent even sure about. I have been looking for a solution to this for weeks now and I dont want to keep using my cellular data and get charged for going over my limit! HELPPPPP!
It seems you contacted AppleCare who would have charged you a fee of $19.99 for troubleshooting the issue as you must have been out of your 90 days complimentary phone support. The $69.99 would have been for AppleCare Protection plan which would extend your hardware coverage for another year making it 2 from the date of purchase.
To have your phone evluated at an Apple Retail Store is completely. Also if you are still within your 1 year limited warranty and you need a replacement that would be free of charge. The only time you need to pay for a replacement would be if there was physical or liquid damage to the phone or depending on your country/region if you are out of your 1 year limited warranty. -
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.

Exactly. The transfer job starts, collects the information on new purchases ans finishes without any error messages. New files are shown in itunes with the 'sync' icon on the left and are greyed out ... it is the same with puchases (movies and tv shows only!) on my iphone 4 and ipad2.
