Get Message no airport card installed

I transported my Macbook and when I set it up again it does not connect to the Internet and i get the message "No airport card installed".  Does this mean the airport card needs replacing?
It also does not read a USB stick.

It may be a physical problem with the card or it's connections but try a System Management Controller reset first. Instructions are here .

  • Getting message "no airport card installed"

    I can't connect to my wi-fi network and internet. I'm getting the message "no airport card installed" on my 2010 13" MBP. There is a card installed. If the card has come unseated can I reseat it myself or  do I have to take it to the apple store
    Thanks

    I'm having a similar issue.  My airport card was working fine and then, hours later - it does not recognize it on my new MacBook pro.  Not sure what is up here ...anyone from Apple able to solve this one?

    Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem.  On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

  • "No airport card installed" error message onMacBook Air.

    Early today, my Macbook Air froze and I had to restart it by holding down the start key.   Since the, I've been getting a "no airport card installed error messge".  I've tried resetting the PRAM but it did not fix the problem.  I've also tried running the hardware check through a powerdrive but I get a message saying hardware check cannot be run on this machine.  Any suggestions about what to try next?

    Yes, you should remove and reseat the Airport Extreme card. It may just have been jostled in its slot and not be making good contact now.

  • "No AirPort Card Installed" error message

    Please help--
    I have a PowerBook G4 12", recently refurbished, running Mac OX X 10.5.8, 1.33 GHz, PowerPC G3, 1.25 GB memory.
    It works great. But this evening, my daughter dropped it onto a hardwood floor. At first, I thought everything was fine.
    But now, I get a message, "No AirPort Card Installed" message when I try to turn AirPort on.
    I'm typing on it now, so I'm able to go online using an ethernet cable, but I need AirPort connectivity.
    I've been religious about backing up on Time Capsule. Would it help to go into my Time Capsule to bring back an old AirPort setting? Should I remove, then reinstall the old AirPort card? Or will I have to buy a new AirPort card? And do they still sell those for Macs this old?
    Any info you have would be helpful, thanks.

    Yes, you should remove and reseat the Airport Extreme card. It may just have been jostled in its slot and not be making good contact now.

  • No Airport Card Installed - Post 10.6.6 update

    Hey everyone, I have a fairly new iMac (under 8 months old), and it runs beautifully. However, after the latest update 10.6.6, I'm getting a "No Airport Card Installed" when I click on the grayed out wifi icon in the toolbar.
    I've gone to the system profiler and it says connected (see results below). If I go into System > Network it's there and working, and I'm actually writing this post on my iMac. But the buggy thing is that it doesn't show in the icon, which in turn, makes apple-based applications think it's not connected to the internet (like iTunes).
    I can browse the internet, download stuff, etc. But if I want to stream music through iTunes radio, I can't. It's really quite annoying, as I can't find any information on this.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
    Chris

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Do you mean the menu bar, the strip across the top of the screen?
    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • "No AirPort card installed" error persists on MBP even after reboot

    I am getting a "No AirPort card installed" problem on a brand new macbook pro 13 running OS X 10.6.1. First, I experienced applications freezing randomly, until my MBP froze completely on me and had to reset it. This issue became recurrent, and now there is this network card problem. Rebooting does nothing to get AirPort to work again. I will truly appreciate any insights on how to address the latter issue. I am hoping it is simply a software problem.

    Brand new? Take it to an Apple store or AASP. Newer MBP owners post here: MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and 2009) http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=251

  • Re: 'No airport card installed'

    I have just noticed it myself! I use Airport Card from time to time on iMac and today realized I could not connect. When I click on the Airport icon, I see gray message: "No Airport card installed. When I tried to fix it in the network setting I could not. Airport ID shows all zeros as well. Help, I need to re-gain the connection ASAP, I think this happened after the latest OS X update.

    I agree that the machine needs to be off for several days. An AASP recommended no less than 5 days, and this is in the high desert of New Mexico.
    Not sure exactly what is in an Americano, but keep in mind that coffee has acids in it and sugar is hydroscopic. In reality, it would be a good thing to open the machine and look for anywhere the coffee might have gone and consider having it cleaned. Any residue will cause even more problems over time by corroding the traces.
    Apple would be the first choice to clean your machine, but here is another possibility:

    I never have used this outfit, but they seem to have a lot of practical advice posted on their web site.
    Good luck!

  • "No AirPort card installed" message

    I've been using my new 13" MBP for five weeks and the AirPort card has worked fine. Today, however after waking it from sleep the connection was gone and the AirPort icon was blank. I clicked on the menubar icon to "Turn AirPort on" but nothing happened.
    After a quick permissions repair and a restart, the blank menubar icon reads "No AirPort card installed."
    I have tried to reset the PRAM.
    I have tried using my TechTool Pro eDrive to seek problems. None found. (The same AirPort card message was in eDrive mode as well)
    AirPort software specs are available in System Profiler:
    Software Versions:
    Menu Extra: 6.2.2 (622.2)
    configd plug-in: 6.2.5 (625.6)
    System Profiler: 6.0.1 (601.1)
    Network Preference: 6.2.2 (622.2)
    AirPort Utility: 5.5.2 (552.11)
    IO80211 Family: 3.2 (320.1)
    Airport configuration is still available in my Network prefs: "Status: OFF" - although the AirPort ID is zeroed out.
    Console report:
    4/14/11 9:09:04 PM Apple80211 framework[372] airportd MIG failed (PowerEnable Event) = 5 (Input/output error) (port = 29211)
    I suspect this is a hardware error and beyond the means of a software fix, unless somebody knows otherwise.

    So, as my laptop is still under warranty, I spoke to customer support, who were very helpful.
    The problem was that there was not enough power getting to my AirPort card. The solution was to shut down and restart by pressing the power button and then Shift-Control-Option. It started up, and the AirPort card was up and running as normal.
    We'll see if this is a recurring problem with the MBP, but, so far, so good.

  • "No AirPort Card Installed" Message after PMU reset

    My battery memory time was getting shorter and shorter, even after a full re-charge (less than 50 minutes). Apple Care suggested that I do a PMU reset and then recalibrate the battery. After I did that my AirPort icon has disappeared, and when I try to use Airport Setup Assistant, I get a message that says "No AirPort Card installed."
    Yikes - any thoughts about how to get my AirPort working again?

    You might want to post in the Powerbook G4 section, you might get more help there. Do you have built in airport or a card? If you have a card try pulling it out and re-seating it.

  • Why am I STILL getting "No AirPort card installed"?

    Guys, I am really struggling with my laptop. Here's what happened.
    My Macbook Pro 2009 13" was unexpectedly shutting down, freezing, etc. I took it into the Genius Bar and they ended up having to replace my hard drive bracket. Not terribly expensive, not a huge deal. When I got it home, it refused to acknowledge the AirPort card. It gave me "No AirPort card installed" and was not recognizing the hardware. I went back in, told them what happened, and they replaced the AirPort card (free of charge because I think someone there had messed it up since it had been fine before).
    All was well until I had an oopsie moment and it took a serious bump upside while open. The computer wouldn't recognize the AirPort card again so I brought it into the Genius Bar again (and yes, that would be the third time in about a week and a half). They did not charge me and said all they had to do was reseed the card. Wonderful. It worked fine for about a day, then it started acting funny, not recognizing the card, but when I restarted it, all was well. I left it shut and charging last night and when I opened it this morning, yet again, "No AirPort card installed".
    I've reset the PRAM and the SMC, I've restarted the computer multiple times, I've massaged the black hinge some... and now I'm researching USB Wifi adapters because I'm getting really fed up. Anyone have any idea why this keeps happening? Or any suggestions on what to do? The AirPort card is literally less than a month old. I can't go into the Genius Bar every few days to have them reseed my card, plus I'm sure they'd start to hate me.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you are still having problems with your card and a new AirPort card doesn't solve anything, just ask for a new logic board. It will replace everything except the display, memory and hard drive, so this should work without any problem. If they refuse, insist because it looks like the only option in your case. Good luck

  • Why do I get the message "no SIM card installed"?????

    Why do I get the message "no SIM card installed"?????

    That will generally mean that your sim card is damaged and/or corrupted, or it may mean it is inserted improperly, may need to take it out and reenter, or maybe its gone for some reason, lol
    Probably the first one. Hit up a Verizon corporate store and have them give you a free fresh one.

  • Hi.. I keep getting error message " No sim card installed " .. Can somebody help me out in this issue ? please

    This message keeps coming almost now regularly too often .. Please somebody help me how to solve this .. I have tried removing the sim card but it is of no use ..

    Hello henry lfrommiami,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone gives you the message "No SIM Card installed" please follow the steps below.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
    Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided. Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.
    If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you still see the issue, contact Apple support.
    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone
    Cheers,
    Alex H.
