Can not turn on the wifi card in this notebook. The f12 key has worked in the past. Not now
Just ran into this today while updating my virus protection. The g72-250 note book lost connectivity to the wifi network and when i started to reconnect it I noticed that the NIC/wifi led was amber. Toggling the f12 key only disables or turns off the nic and stays amber. It appears that the nic will not turn which is supposed to turn the led blue. How do i troubleshoot this further? or should i order the Realtek RTL8191SE wifi adapter?
Hi,
Try a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for a full minute. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter, start the notebook and see if the f12 key will now enable the wireless card.
Regards,
DP-K

My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????
You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

ps i cant do any of take it apart my self and install it i just wan to know how much it will cost going through apple
thanksWhy do people think they are postiing in a notebook forum when if you look around, this is clearly something else.
If you really want a new Mac you have to buy one. That is part of the fun of owning laptops, they are not upgradeable. -
Many users complained some wifi cards missing the
/configure/Advanced „Network Address” funktion.Without this function
does not work normal MAC adresses which begin for example
„00”.There are many
forums people write about (indignantly)
the problem.

I'm curious about the Windows 10 users
experience with different
wifi cards.
This function working perfectly, all linux platform,Mac,already in android,the old windows XP,windows 2000,
it's a basicthing.This problem affects some reason only are newer Windows platforms and directly the wifi option.well....it doesn't matter whether the MAC add is 00-14-BF-93-D2-66 or 00:14:BF:932:65 or any other format .. the most important thing is the hex decimal numbers are the same ... so not worry about it...

I am trying to connect to my uni wifi, and when i click on the wifi, it directs me to a log in page. However, the two boxes to enter the username and password do not appear. Can anyone help me with this???
You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.

i just got my ipad 2 and when i go to trun it on it has a picture with itunes prompting me to sync up. When i do this it does not sync up with my itunes. I can not turn my ipad2 on. Any one out there got any answers. Appreciate the help
The first thing that has to be done with a new iPad is to activate it via iTunes. What version of iTunes, and what spec computer, have you got ? The iPad's minimum requirements are (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) :
Mac :
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
PC :
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account

I tries to backed up and storage on iCloud but its just shows down below "Estimating time remaining" but theres no time remaining !!! And i connect to the Wifi already and i buy a storage capacity !!! But its not backing so what should i do in that case !!!?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers. The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card. This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled. If,you take your tablet to a Verizonstore they will upgrade your data plan to cover the overage and credit the upgrade. You will then have to remember to downgrade your plan or continue to pay for more data. Verizon, how would you feel if I walked into one of your stores and started filling my pockets with merchandise? If cought can I just give the product back and say "oops, sorry"
Today, my FCC complaint hit the same person working on the BBB complaint. Jimmie has been very nice and seems willing to work with this problem. We have been able to come to an agreement. I paid the purchase price for the phone and he returned my upgrade and unlimited data plan. This is what would have occurred if Verizon had given me correct information to begin with. I am happy with this result. He also brought quite a few instances concerning the handling of my transfer and upgrade that did not follow proper procedure. I am also confident that I would not have resolved this without complaining to BBB and or FCC. Verizon had no interest in solving the problem nor did they show any propensity to keeping a 20 year client. Even though this last CSR was very polite and helpful, his sole job is to respond to formal Federal and State complaints. He is required by law to address every complaint and report the reporting agency the agreed upon results - good or bad. Again, I suggest - If you are not getting the proper customer service, complain to someone outside of Verizon. Jimmie had not received any complaints registered with Verizon directly and I still have not had any contact with any other management representative that I was told would call.

Where is the WiFi card in a 2010 MacBook Pro 15' I5
So today i had turned on my 2010 MacBook Pro 2.53GHz Intel i5 15', to notice that the wifi bars are no longer there. I suspect there being an issue with the wifi card, but with this unit, i'm confused as to where it is. I have looked around on the internet and google images and some are in different place than others. I also heard from somewhere else online that it is a built in wifi card, if so where is that located? By the heat sink or is it the antenna looking cables? I'm desperate to get this thing fully functional as for i need it for school and work in the morning and my only source of internet is via wifi.
Well this unit was once water damaged and with significant time and dedication i brought this unit from the dead to life. So maybe this is one of the minor things that has finally given out, the water damage was a few months ago and it was working fine along that entire time, but tonight maybe it has given. Do you by chance know what the visible card is that is next to the heat sink but is not covered by it?

Can I use a usb wifi card on my MacBook Pro?
I'm having trouble connecting to my old router (d-link di-714p+). The matter has been discussed here in other threads and it seems that no one can connect a MBP to this old router.
I don't want to buy a new router, yet, and running a long cable throughout the house is sturting to bother me.
I also have a dwl-g122 wifi usb dongle and I thought this might be an solution: I'll stick the dongle into my MBP and have wifi...
BUT: Does anyone know if connecting 2 wifi cards to a mac can damage it in anyway? Can I temporary disable the AP card ? How?If you have a driver for the USB stick then yes it will work, however do a search in the forums for the USB stick you have and you will see that some people have had problems.
It won't physically hurt your Mac to have two wireless adapters, though for simplicity sake you may want to remove Airport from the list of possible network connections in
System Preferences > Network > Configurations
