Hi, I accidentally deleted wifi cross sign is shown mentioning wifi not configured. What to do now?

Hi, I accidentally deleted the wifi configuration of my macbook air. It shows wifi not configured. What to do now?

Back up all data.
Open the Network pane in System Preferences. A list of available network services appears on the left. If Wi-Fi is in the list, select it, then from the popup menu labeled with a gear icon at the bottom of the list, select
Make Service Active
Click Apply.
If Wi-Fi is not in the service list, click the plus-sign button at the bottom of the list, and then select Wi-Fi from the  Interface menu in the sheet that drops down. Click Create, then Apply.
If there is a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your administrator password to unlock the settings.
If the above steps don't solve the problem, continue.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist  
Right-click or control-click the line and select 
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Restart the computer and recreate your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Help Please.

    Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Running Windows XP. Help please.

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    ... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

    Help! I have an iPhone 4s, I accidentally deleted a text message and my phone is not synced. How do I retrieve it?

    You can not retrieve a deleted message that was not synced.
    There are data recovery services that "may" be able to retrieve the message.
    These recovery services can cost $1000 or more though.

    Hi:
    I don't think it is a big deal but let's see if we can find a driver for it.
    Please click on the missing keyboard filter in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. In the Properties drop down list, select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post  the top string of characters you see in the window.
    That will give me more information to go on.

  • HT4528 How can I find a Note I accidentally deleted? Is there a recycle bin for Notes?

    I am missing the note I made that was like a journal. I did not delete it but it isn't showing up in my list. I think it may have been accidentally deleted. Is there any chance of recovery?

    Here are the methods to recover deleted notes from iPhone:
    Restore with iCloud backup
    Restore with iTunes backup
    Extract from iCloud or iTunes backup using an iPhone backup extractor;
    Recover directly from iPhone using an iPhone data recovery app.

  • I accidentally deleted iPhoto from my mbp and i do not have the ilife discs because my computer shipped with lion. How do i get it back?

    I do not want to pay for it. I accidentally deleted it because it showed up twice on my launchpad thanks!

    If you don't have an Installer disk then you can't install without a purchase. Do you have the grey SystemRestore disks that came with your Mac? It's on that. No, iPhoto is not part of Lion.

  • My imac says wifi not configured all other devices in house are working please help

    how can I reset the wifi card in my imac

    If the wireless card or circuitry in the iMac appears in the hardware profile, then it exists
    and could be used by the system; the configuration of Network in system preferences is
    part of that. Also the AirPort setup to be able to find & use available wireless networks
    is usually not difficult.

    An older iMac running OS X 10.4 Tiger would be somewhat different, but similar to later:

    However, not knowing what iMac model build version or OS X system version your have
    makes choosing how to reply to a general and vague question such as this. Since a Mac
    does not run an iOS (an iDevice, not a Mac product, would use iOS system) what OS X
    does your computer use? And if the hardware utilizes a core 2 duo or other Intel based
    processor, then you don't have the vintage old iMac version this discussion area is about.
    The answers change, depending on the hardware, since the later OS X versions do not
    run on old hardware. So there is a gap between what you have, and what you said...
    Even so, the general settings for Ethernet, Wi-Fi and other connections for networking
    are in the system preferences; you can also choose to change options in there.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Recover Accidentally Deleted Files in OS X via Terminal, "command not found"

    Hi!
    I am trying to recover a folder from the trash. It was deleted 30 min ago. The command I am trying to use is;
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
    And the response is;
    -bash: com.apple.Finder: command not found
    When I open any Terminal window I get this message, I don't know if this is relevant;
    Last login: Wed Nov 13 08:27:40 on ttys001
    I have found some similar replies on the forum but they do not seem to work in my case. I'm new to Terminal so I would really appreciate the help to find the cause and to resolve my problem.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thank you so much. This is the reply that I got;
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ ls -a .Trash
    .                                        Cherry Blossoms
    ..                                        FLiCKS
    .DS_Store                              Nicholas Nickleby (1977)
    13 Tzameti                              Robin Hood (2010)
    Catch-22 [1970]                              We Live in Public 2009
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ mv .Trash/FLiCKS .
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ mv .Trash/FLiCKS
    usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
           mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
    It is the FLiCKS folder that I am trying to retreive. Does this mean that I can retreive it? And if so, when I use the command mv .Trash/filename, where should it appear? Sorry for not fully understanding the instructions.
    I also tend to empty the trash cumpulsively, which is how this happened in the first place. Trying to empty the files already in the trash but accidentally having had this folder selected I emptied that and kept the files that I didn't want.
    The trash folder still has the size as if the folder FLiCKS is still in there though, if that makes any difference?
    Thank you for all of your help.

  • Accidentally deleted x protect meta.plist and plug in not working even after downloading latest

    Hi all
    Need some help here. It started off like this - after upgrading to mavericks, i had a problem viewing some java stuff. Googled and read somewhere to delete the x protect meta.plist and thus, did so. After doing that, my youtube videos etc all couldnt work. So googled again and did whatever the rest suggested - download latest version of Java, uninstall java and reinstall again, install other versions of java etc etc. all didnt worked.
    Someone just pointed out that I had deleted a very critical security file (x protect meta.plist) and might have more problems that I thought on my hand.
    Im not very technical or IT saavy, so please kindly advise. Most of the problems surfaced after deleting that file. And right now, plug in for videos are still not working even though I have attempted various 'solutions' suggested in this forum (the not too technical ones) and java is still cranky. Pls advise. thanks!

    Anyone able to help?
    1) How did u solve the missing/out of date plugin?
    - Have tried installing numberous times the latest version - doesnt work
    - Tried uninstalling and then reinstalled earlier versions of java - doesnt work too
    read somewhere to delete the xprotect meta plist - realised much later that piece of advice was for snow leopard OS and thus, did not work too. A forummer told me today this file is a critical security file and i should not have deleted it. WHat can I do now?
    current situation:
    still cant play youtube videos and other videos.
    java on some sites still cant work
