Airport: Not Configured after 10.4.7 update

I just bought a new macbook 2.0Ghz, proceeded through the first-time installation wizard setup my wifi settings, and everything worked fine.
At first boot in macosx i had my wifi working and i was able to browse and download things.
I installed the 10.4.7 macosx update, restarted, then lost my wifi connection.
The signal indicator reads
Airport: Not Configured
and in the network settings under 'Network Port Configuration' I see a greyed out 'AirPort' configuration. I can"t enable it. I can't add a new one either since the only choices are Bluetooth, Builtin firewire/ethernet, 6 to 4
I found a knowledge base article describing a similar problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303437
But the described workaround doesn't seem to work.
I also tried to reinstall the 10.4.7 update using the combo installer, the issues remain.
I ran also the permission repair utility at various stages in the process, it never detected any errors.
In the System Profiler under network/Airport section, i see:
Airport Card Information:
Type: AirPort Extreme [..]
Locale: Worldwide
Firwmare: 0.1.24
Current Wireless Network: AirPort is currently turned off
I know the card is there and working, since linux happily uses it when i boot in linux.
Has anyone any clue about what's happening ?
Is there a simple 'enable' button somewhere, or is that a known isse with 10.4.7 updater, how can i revert to 10.4.6 then ?
Thanks a lot!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It's actually a bit more weird:
When stepping through the first-time boot wizard, it asks to select the wifi essid from a list, the scan is ok and shows my network, and i type the WEP key in the box, click next. The 'Configuring your computer' blinks then the setup goes on and asks for my .Mac account and so on.
After the wizard completes i'm able to surf the web and connected BUT !
The signal meter is always empty and clicking on it states 'Airport: Not Configured'. When i open the network preferences it says under 'current status' that i'm using the builtin ethernet device ??!!
The IP and dhcp re-lease stuff work in the UI even if it's clearly not the builtin ethernet card that i'm using since the IP is from the wifi router, and there is no cable plugged in, and i can access the internet.
No mention of Airport port in the setup, so i can't configure it.
As soon as i restart the connection is gone, and the setup created by the first-time wizard is gone.
So the situation is now i have a 10.4.6 os with no airport..

Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update

Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update. My subversion access was also overwritten and no longer works.

if that was a bug report, then Apple might or might not see it here. There's a Provide Server Feedback in the menus of Server.app, if you'd like to let the Server.app folks know about the upgrade problems I've encountered.
If you're looking for help resetting the web sites (I'm not clear if you're reporting a bug or looking for help with this), then check Server.app for where the files should be (the default location is under /Library/Server/Web/Data directory) and see where your current sites are stored in the file system, establish the Site via Server.app (usually with a directory under the /Library/Server/Web/Data path) and move the contents over to the new location.
As for the Outlook comment in your footer, Microsoft Outlook also generally needs to have the FQDN requirements removed in the SMTP HELO processing. Outlook doesn't send that, and the default Postfix configuration will reject those connections as spam. Here's a discussion of how to do this. (I don't see a path to the HELO processing via sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix commands.)

Airport not configured under snow leopard

whenever I select my wireless connection in the menu bar, it states the following 'airport: not configured'... i tried to re enable it within network preferences, but I couldn't. what should i do?

That wasn't my issue at all. what had happened was that somehow or another, the service 'Airport' (in the list of network connections) became corrupted, so I made a new 'Airport' connection file for the list. it was the weirdest thing, but it actually happened, so go figure!

Hot spot s not visible after latest iOS version update on my iPad please help

hey personal hot spot is not visible after iOS latest version update on my iPad mini please help

Hey Devinder from chd,
For most issues with Personal Hotspot, try out the basic troubleshooting in the article below. It does talk about iPhone but the troubleshooting is the same for your iPad. If you are still having issues, let me know and I can see what else we can do after that.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203302
Basic troubleshooting
See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Install the latest version of iOS.
Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
Take it easy,
-Norm G.

IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

Hello, 92.romil.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad. If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help. The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad.
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Airport: Not Configure

Can someone explain this problem?
First of all the airport works just fine thanks. Even though the menu icon shows an empty wedge, and clicking on it says "Air: Not Configured" I can perform a software update, receive and send mail, and browse the web.
However, I have to reset every re-boot. This means that I have to select the airport, and choose a network name. The result is that after a re-started (say after a power failure) the Time Machine backup to Time Capsule will not restarted and so on.
Any solutions?
I found a similar question but I only have an Automatic location.

I found that I had to delete the Airport and reconfigure it. Once started it has been working fine. i found the suggestion by googling the web.

Thanks in advance!
