Help!!  Suddenly..no airport hardware found!  Please help!

My 17" powerbook fell and now claims that no airport hardware can be found. I'm thinking the card dislodged or something but how do I re-secure it??
Please help.

I don't think they do loaners, since I've never been able to get them to do that when I've asked, but you can sometimes ask for a replacement machine if the repairs have been enough that they can't solve the problem. Never wait for them to call you back. I've never gotten a call back. Hold onto a case number and if you need to reach them for any reason call them on the case number. We can't really discuss Apple policy here, though I can certainly tell you what I've experienced.
A loaner would technically be a machine you can borrow while yours is off to repairs. The machine you'd ask for a replacement would be yours to keep, and you'd never get back the original machine. Hence the good reason for a backup so you can restore to the replacement machine.

    Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
    If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

  • X201 Wireless switch Hardware problem - PLEASE HELP

    Hello everyone,
    I have been a regular reader of this wonderful forum and have also participated on a few questions. I have an x201 which I bought from UK 6months back. 
    After a smooth sail for many months and just when I thought life was going good, I have a wireless switch problem that pops up out of nowhere. I never use hardware switch and had to do it only last week because of checking for my internet connection problems.
    Only once in my entire experience with this laptop that I put it off, now it has become so sensitive that even shaking the laptop while typing turns off the laptop.  On reading about this problem I found out that it is quite a common problem with x-series and has many users affected from it. After confidently calling the customer support they ask me to pay 200euros just to "TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM"????. Apart from at least acknowledging the persistent problem across all the models they end up asking me to pay for everything and cannot tell me how much it will cost me or even tell me how long it will take to replace this. 
    Is there any other way to do this? The support told me that the only other way to repair this will be to buy the Base switch myself and then replace it. I am a biologist doing my PhD and have no knowledge of all these. Apart from all the appluad this laptop got from my colleagues, now they all think this is a joke by Lenovo to be charging for something that is entirely their mistake. 
    Can anyone point to a solution please and help me. I was really looking to buying an ultrabook next year but looks like replacing a switch is going to cost me 1/4th of what one would be for an entire laptop.
    PLEASE HELP

  • Laserjet 1020 printer doesn't work through airport express. PLEASE help me

    Hi everyone. I've just bought a laserjet 1020, and though I can perfectly "see" it through the airport admin utility, there is no way to have a page printed. Works perfectly when connect it to the laptop through usb though. I have already tried every iFelix solutions, changed drivers (HP 1022, etc.), bonjour for windows, manual configurations, etc. Is there something else out there that I didn't figure out? Please help me. I'm in one of those moments where there are no more ways left to check out in google. I will really appreciate any advice.
    Regards,
    Martin.

    There are issues with regard to HP and Apples.
    I take it that your Laserjet is plugged into the XP computer and that you are tryiny to print to it over a network.
    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences> click on "+" to "Add Printer", at the next page click on "More printers", this should then bring up a box with the name of your network in it. It will then show the name of your Apple and that of the PC into which the LAN cable from the router is plugged, click on this PC and the next box should throw up the name of the printer, click on this, then DON"T click on ADD but on the slot with "Generic" showing, you can then scroll down the list to Laserjet, click on that and find the "Gimp" version of the driver with your printer's model number, this is the one you should ADD.
    Now this may work first time, unlikely given Apple's track record of network printing foul ups; you may have it print only a 1/4 page. If this happens, try "ADDing" a driver from higher up the Laserjet range; this is what I had to do to get my Canon iP3000 to work (I use the iP8000 driver with reasonable success)
    There are also CUPS+GIMP drivers in the list; with the Canon these just printed a 1/4 page of solid black, nice for the ink manufacturers, but expensive for us!
    The Gimp drivers are a third party product, 2 years out of date, and for which Apple accept no responsibility.

  • My computer does not recognize the Airport Connection.  Please Help

    I just purchased the Apple Base Station and Apple Extreme. My internet connection is made through a DSL Modem(My carrier is Frontier Communications). I am having a very hard time getting my computer to recognized the Airport. Can someone please help me. Thanks

    Unplug the modem power. Connect an ethernet cable from the modem to the AEBS WAN (circle of dots port. Connect an ethernet cable to the LAN (<->) port, and to the ethernet port on your computer. Run the AirPort Admin utility. Configure your base station, giving it a name, administrator password, network name (SSID) and a password. Select a Configure option (ethernet or PPPoE, fill in any ISP information. Update the base station. Disconnect your computer.
    Shut Down the computer. Make sure your AirPort Extreme card is firmly snapped into its socket, and that the antenna wire if snapped into place. Boot up. On the computer, go to System Preferences>Network and make sure PPPoE is disabled on your Ethernet Tab. You should now be able to see your network in the AirPort Menulet. Log on to your network and see if AirPort Admin Utility can be run (it should). Quit AirPort Admin Utility.
    Plug in the power to the modem and run a web browser. Can you connect to the internet (you should be able to)?

  • Original file could not be found ----PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    I have 4,000 MP3s on an extrenal hard drive.
    When I open iTunes, I would double click on a song, and it would play.
    NOW, for whatever reason, when I double click on a song, a window pops up and says: +Original file could not be found, would you like to locate it?+
    I then have to manually locate the song, for it to play.
    I do not want to do that for 3,999 more MP3s.
    I went to EDIT>PREFERENCES>ADVANCE>GENERAL andmade sure the file path is my F Drive (external hard drive) where my MP3's are.
    Still no luck.
    The 2 or 3 songs, that I've manually located have a speaker by the title. The other 3,900+ MP3s have and exclamation point by the title.
    Can anyone PLEASE help me?

    I went to FILE> ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY and selected the folder where my MP3s were.
    This updated my itunes library and now allow me to play every song, but it also made a duplicate of every song.
    Example:
    Kanye West - Stronger
    Kanye West - Stronger
    1 plays and 1 doesn't.
    I just have to go and delete the songs with the infront of the title.

  • How to properly install airport extreme?please help

    please help me install this airport extreme
    i think im doing everything right but i dont know
    please help
    thanx

    When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • Powermac g5, Hardware Problem PLEASE HELP - I MIGHT GET FIRED

    My work computer, G5 powermac, case was damaged. Ordered a new one, transfered all components, but now it won't start up. I am so screwed. When I plug it in, I hear a click. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. Any ideas. Please help. I might get fired over this. Are there any specific hardware related reasons my mac wouldn't start up? Please help.
    Adrian

    If the power supply was out the computer would be
    just dead. Nothing. no noise nothing. I agree that
    you should double check your connections. Is the
    clicking noise comming from the power supply. The
    only thing that could click in my mind is the HDD
    when the pin is striking the side of the HDD
    well it seems dead. but when you either unplug it or plug it in i hear a click that is definantly coming from the power supply. I have rechecked all connections.

  • My PC won't find my airport extreme.  Please help so I can access external hard drive and printers and internet.

    airport extreme (newest version)  has external HD connected and two printers.  everything works fine from my MBP.  My PC on the other hand wont even access the internet while connected to airport via ethernet.  Please help me.

    Sorry I don't really understand.... there are no partitions on the drive.  How do I repartition it?
    And should I use "erasing free space" or "erase" for wiping clean my drive of everything?  Erase seems to be faster last tiem I tried.
    Thanks!

  • I have several magazines saved in my documents. My husband bought me a tablet for these. I was sending these to my tablet email without difficulty. Now Adobe send has suddenly stopped. Why? Please help!

    I have several magazines save to My Documents. My husband bought me a tablet for these. I was emailing them through the Adobe Reader without difficulty to the tablet email. Some of them had carried over when I put the magazine app on the tablet but all that I purchased did not. Now Adobe has suddenly stopped sending them. Why? Please help. It says "Learn More" but only brings up a lot of Adobe services. HELP! PLEASE!

    Hi,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems, but it's not clear that you are using the Adobe Send service. If you are, could you tell us about how you're using it and where it's failing for you? The more detail you can provide, the better.  Thanks.

  • Images in slideshow became BROKEN CHAINS. Suddenly won't work. Please Help!

    I need to give this iDVD to my friend who's leaving the country TODAY. Your help is much appreciated:
    I made the DVD and it was all running smoothly and seemed to burn OK, but when it was done burning most of the pictures (but not all) in the slideshows turned into a broken chain with black and yellow stripes on the top and bottom. Why did this happen?? I don't know why they became this, there was no problem before. Some of the pictures are OK, seems random.
    If you could tell me how to get my pictures back to replace these broken chains so I can reburn the DVD where all the pictures work. Please Help!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iDVD 5.0.1

    Yeah I realized I had moved images to a different folder. I moved them back and am burning a new DVD right now. Thanks for the quick response & have a great day! :]
