Wifi option is greyed out. need fixed ASAP. nuff said. have tried EVERYTHING
My wifi option has been greyed out for the past two weeks. so annoying. Ive tried every option possible, blow drying it, all the restores, resets, turn off turn on.. nothing works. I want this fixed ASAP.
Blow drying it? Did you get it wet?
Have you considered maybe taking it to the Apple Store to have them look at it to determine whether it's a hardware fault? If the hardware failed, you can dance naked around an Oak tree and sacrifice small animals if you like, it still won't fix it.

Wifi option is greyed out in my phone. Please help me to fix this
Start by working through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if that doesn't resolve it, some have found it helps to go to Settings and set Airplane Mode ON and Do Not Disturb ON. Power down and wait 5-10 minutes and power up. Got to Settings and set Airplane Mode OFF and Do Not Disturb OFF

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone. -

Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.

I recently updated my phone software to iOS 6.1.3 and for the first couple of weeks, it was ok. but then until monday, the option to turn on the wi-fi has been greyed out so I can't turn my phone's wi-fi on which means I have to keep using my 3G coverage which will eventually cost me a fortune if I don't get the wi-fi greyed out problem sorted out as soon as possible. If anybody could help me with this problem (without having to take it apart or putting it into the freezer) please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks
alexmac92 xI have seen a few searches that indicate some people have had success by changing their wifi security settings. Using none (not recommended) or using WPA2 with a strong pass phrase (longer than 8 characters) seems to work for everyone I've talked to. I've not had this issue myself on any of my devices (2 iPhone 4, 2 iPhone 5, 2 iPad 2, all running iOS 6.1.3, and 2 iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1), but then again, my home wifi has had a strong pasphrase, and WPA2 for 7-8 years now. I beleive that some people have had luck with performing a reset of network settings (but others have not, and claimed that it actually made things worse some how). Some have had luck performing a device restore in iTunes, while others have claimed that did nothing but cause them to lose everything.
I know there is so much wifi congestion in my neighborhood that it is hard to find a channel that doesn't already have 2-3 routers using it. It is possible that resetting your wifi router might help. I know that when my iPhone wouldn't connect to my wireless network, it would usually clear up if I restarted the router. -
My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem. It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey. I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e. network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing. I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem. Please please what do I do?

Are you able to connect to a Wi-Fi network and then try to do the update again or are all connection settings grayed out?

My Ipod touch 5th gen has been disabled because I can't remember the passcode and has no wifi connection and when I plug it into itunes it says an error has occured. How do I fix it ?
What error do you see when you connect it? This support document provides instructions on how to recover an iDevice that has been disabled because of a forgotten passcode. You need to restore the device. Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

My mac wont connect to the wifi in my apt. it will connect to other networks elsewhere just fine, however. All my other devices still connect anywhere in the apt. Help?
The apt is very small. But i ran istumble and it said the router was giving around 64% and it appears as though no one around is using the same channel as us. Either way, if other comps can pick up on the signal, why isnt mine all of a sudden?
