Wifi option is gray can't click on it to connect so what do I do to get on Internet ???
I have an iPod Touch. I spilled some coffee on it while in the car. I dried it off with paper towels right away and when I got home I put it in a bag of rice for 2 days. When I took it out to use it the wifi option in Settings is gray and not black. When I try to click on it nothing happens. No wifi connection. I tried connecting it to my computer and resetting the software following directions on iTune. Wifi option is still gray.
Do I have a problem with software and or hardware? How do I fix the problem. Now I can only use the iPod Touch for Music and I would like to use it on the Internet. Any home solutions for this problem?
Try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Wifi option is grayed in my iphone 4s
wifi option is grayed in my iphone 4s, pls help as apple team is not responding properly at all...
I have done everything from "Reset Network Settings" to "Erase All Content and Settings" and finally restoring the iOS Software (7.0.6), but the Wi-Fi settings are still grayed out. Bluetooth is also not getting enabled. Can anyone suggest what can be done?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.6 -
If i back up my phone due to the wifi option being grayed out it says to connect to itunes and reset my phone but everything will get deleted that wont happen if everything is in my icloud account correct
If Wi-Fi is greyed out, it is not possible to backup to iCloud.
If the device is backed up to iTunes and contacts, calendars, notes, etc are synced to a supported application or cloud service, and media and pictures are on the computer, then a restore will not cause any data to be lost. -
Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's
LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
THANK YOU!If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing! -

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) 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 or Channel 6 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.

I got a new appli id an i'm trying to change my id in my phone but in can't be change. i wasn't able to click in my old id in the settings to put in the new one. please help. thanks,
For iCloud, you have to delete the account: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account...now set things up with your new ID. For iTunes/App store: Settings.iTunes/App store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your new ID.
Turn off iMessage & FaceTime before you do the above. -

I want to Sonos or Bose wireless speaker with hdtv connected to macbook pro. I think apple tv might free my tv from being tethered to macbook pro. PS Im new with this. Thanks for any advice.
I'm not exactly sure what it is that you are asking, however I feel that if you take a look at the Apple TV manual, it may answer the questions that you have.

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If all or most of the files have a common extension, say "jpg" or "tiff", and no other file
on your desktop has that extension, you could try removing them in a terminal window:
startup up Terminal (in Utilities), then execute (typed on individual lines, after the prompt,
followed by enter/return):
cd Desktop
rm *.jpg
(Use whatever extension is appropriate, if jpg isn't.) Of course, this would remove ALL
of the jpgs on your desktop, so be careful. -
Does anyone know why this is I've tried resetting but doesn't help?
Are you on a home or open network? Sometimes when you're in a hotel, for example, you may be 'on' the net but not allowed to access it until you agree to their terms.

-Thank you in advance'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.'' -
I have updated my I phone 4S and need to login to in to be able to use my phone. I am able to access and log in to Apple on the computer with my password and username although not able to do this on my phone. It keeps saying invalid user name or password. Please help me so I can use my phone. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.

I would like to set Firefox up so that I can enter a password to allow my children internet access. I don't want them to be able to get on without me knowing about it. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Katie[[Block and unblock websites with parental controls]] might help. You can most likely find an extension that allows something like this. [https://addons.mozilla.org/ https://addons.mozilla.org/]. You may also want a content filter such as SafeEyes, Netnanny, etc.
