Help! my airport says "No Airport card Installed"!!

My computer has been working fine and now i just turned on and my airport is gone!! it won't let me do anything wireless and when i click on the icon at the top it says "No Airport Card Installed"!!
it was working just fine an hour ago!! my computer is about a year old and full updated with snow leopard.
Could this be a virus? only thing i loaded today, beside torrent files, was the Flip4Mac upgrade.
Would appreciate it if anyone can help me!!
thanks,

It's not a virus. Try resetting your SMC (system management controller). Does System Profiler also show that the AirPort card is not installed?

Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here.
It's highly likely that it is now bricked. The jailbreak most likely did permanent damage. There are lots of reports of previously jailbroken/hacked phones that become unusable when attempting to apply a legitimate unlock.

Original iPad 3G 64GB intermittantly says no sim card installed

My iPad, original 3G 64 GB intermittantly says no sim card installed. There is no pattern as to when this occurs. Retarting the iPad sometimes helps. I have removed the sim card, blown out the sim slot and reintalled the sim card. I have done everything I can think of short of restoring back to factory condition. I have since been lent another iPad (identical to mine) and have installed my original sim card. So far, no issues. This leads me to believe it is an issue with the iPad itself. Can anyone offer any suggestions or help?
Thanks,
Art M.

If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

Had a simalar problem. But we weren't getting any service. AT&T said it was a defective SIM card and pretty much everyone that bought an AT&T iPhone 6 from the online store had a defective sim. had to buy a new sim from best buy because att were sold out because the problem was so wide spread.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted?

My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted. I can't make or receive calls. What can I do to fix this?

Did you already try to remove it and put it back again?
When changing the SIM card, power off the device prior to opening the SIM tray. After you have changed the SIM card for your iPhone you may need to reconnect it to iTunes.
iPhone keeps a record of previously inserted SIM cards, but if the carrier name of your SIM does not show up in the status bar after you changed the SIM you will need to reconnect iPhone to iTunes. If you do not connect iPhone to iTunes after changing or reinserting the SIM, iPhone may not work as expected.
If iPhone does not work with the SIM card after connecting to iTunes, you might need to restore your iPhone. Consult the iPhone User's Guide for more information on iTunes and iPhone.
If your iPhone does not show up in iTunes (on the left hand side of the iTunes window under Devices), please see the following links for assistance:
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If this does not work, contact your provider, maybe your SIM is damaged.

Hi CusMan!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot that issue:

The article is written toward iPhone users, but the steps for troubleshooting on the iPad are the same. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

IOS 6 installed but now it says no Sim card installed....what the??

Ok I believe I got iOS 6 installed finally...... But........I start the ohone up now....it wants me to pick language and then country which I do....then it says there is no Sim card installed ....say what?.....its been in there for 4 years......whats up with this.....does Apple have a cure for this?
I have removed it a few times and reinstalled it....same thing

Most likely your phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock. When you updated, the hack was removed and the phone re-locked to its original carrier. It will now operate only with a SIM card from that carrier.

HT4994 my new i phone suddenly says no sim card installed. Any ideas about whats going on

Help any ideas my I phone says no sim card installed

The SIM card might not be resting properly in the tray which causes the issue. Remove pop out the SIM card, turn off the phone, make sure it's resting properly and firmly into the tray, pop it back in, and turn on your phone!
This should solve your question
