Mac book air trouble connecting with wifi

all of a sudden my air wont connect to the internet even tho it says it is. my ipod and iphone have no problem on my wireless network, i can connect with it at my school however. am i missing something?

Have you tried clearing out any saved WiFi networks from your Network Preferences?  Is it not connecting?  Is not showing up in the WiFi menu? 
What steps have you taken to trouble shoot this issue so far? 
Please provide more details, and then we can better help you.

  • I can not get my mac book air to connect  to the net with my broadband

    How can I get my mac book air to connect to the net with a broadband ?

    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few minuets.
    Power off the router. Wait a while.
    Connect the router back to to the wall.
    Power the router back on. Wait  until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

  • My mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.

    my mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.pls help

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

  • Can a latest Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen?

    Presentation at meetings require Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen.
    A Mac Book Pro is possible to get connected to a display screen using a A1307 adopter.
    Does any one know if the latest Mac Book Air connectable to a display screen using A1307 adopter or anyother means? I would be oblighed to know the possibility prior to buy one.
    Regards

    The Thunderbolt port doubles as a Mini-DisplayPort. Thunderbolt is not the same as Firewire. However, Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor so you can connect Firewire devices to the computer. Thunderbolt devices may be daisy-chained, but a display monitor must be the last device on that chain.
    According to what I found the A1307 adaptor is Mini-DisplayPort to VGA. It will not connect to a Firewire port.

  • Buy mac book air in us with portuguese keyboard

    Hi there!
    I'm a portuguese living in Cleveland and i want to buy a mac book air, but with a portuguese keyboard. I tried to buy it online, but there wasn't no option for a portuguese keyboard. I have a friend that contacted with the store in advance and they trade the keyboard when he bought it. But i don't know how i can contact directly the store where i want to buy it, or if i can do it somehow online. I ask this because the store is a little far away from my house, and i really prefer buying it online...
    Can someone help me please?
    Best regards,
    SM

    call 1-800-MY-APPLE.  You can not order a portuguese keyboard online in the US.  It is a special order that must be done via telephone.

  • IPad, iPhone, and Mac book won't connect to wifi

    My ipad (6.1.3), my Mac book (10.6.8), and my iPhone 4(6.1.3) won't connect to home wifi even though all of them did on Sunday night (2 days ago). I have tried forgetting network and reconnecting but didn't work. I have tried to reset network settings on my devices but didn't work. The only thing that works so far is rebooting the router but that's feasible or fair to the other people (who are not apple users) in the house. Everyone else's laptops, tablets, phones, and play station can connect and stay connected. All of my devices can see the network but connection times out. Please help!

    Hey CompeauC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I can definitely understand the frustration, and there are some troubleshooting steps that don't necessarily necessitate rebooting the router. I found a couple of articles that should be able to assist you in resolving the issue, one for your Mac and the other for your two iOS devices:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

    All the best,

Hope I can get support and or help with a step by step walk through for this fix PLEASE HELP !!!! So frustrated cause my computer is my work and life right now.

    I may be able to help you get the ball rolling on this but you are going to have to be patient.  I may not be able to solve your problem but I might be able to help clarify your problem to others.
    What type/brand of wireless router do you have?
    Do you know what type of encryption you are using?  IE none,WEP,WPA,WPA2
    Are there other wireless devices on your wireless network?
    ...if yes, do they work ok?
    Do you live in an apartment complex?
    Some ISP's  (Internet service providers) give you a single unit device which is a wireless router and MoDem in one unit.  You may want to have your ISP come out and set up this device again.  If there is something you don't understand let us know.

  • Mac Book Air HDMI connect Netflix to TV

    Anyone have ideas on how to connect an Air to your TV to stream Netflix?  Have the connector cable and the brushed aluminum piece that connects to the hdmi cable and the hdmi cable port on TV. However, getting no connection - just a screen saver pic of the galaxy
    Thanks..

    If you have the galaxy desktop then it's working.  This is called extended desktop mode, it's a logical extension of your desktop to the right.  Drag the browser off the right side of your monitor and it will appear on the TV.
    You can also mirror your monitor with the TV by pressing CMD F1.
    All these settings are in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

  • Mac book air net connection problem

    My MacBook Air has stopped connecting to the net. It is fine with retrieving emails. What is going on?

    It could be a lot of things. But try clicking on AirPort radar symbol on your top right toolbar and troubleshoot from there. Next, I would check your Internet preferences under your browser pull down menu. You can also try to reset your modem.

  • Does The Headphone Jack on the mac book air also work with microphone

    (MacBook Air) Does The headphone Jack work as a microphone jack like the MacBook Pro does

    The current MacBook Air uses a TRRS 3.5 mm mini jack, just like the iPhone. As long as the intended device (headphone/microphone) is compatible with this jack standard, you are fine.
    TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve)
    You can also buy adapters that will "split" the connections into separate Mic and speaker channels, for use with recording equipment using other jacks. Say, for instance you have a microphone that uses a 1/4" jack.

  • Will mac book air run properly with photoshop when I use the Thunderbolt dispay?

    I would like to get a MB Air 13"; can I use Photoshop with it?  Will Thunderbolt Display work well with at?
    Thank you

    The answer is Yes and Yes. Unless you are editing huge files, Photoshop should run adequately on a MacBook Air.
    You can check it out at an Apple Store before you purchase, and see if it meets your expectations.
    Btw, you may want to consider the i7 version just for slightly better performance.

  • Mac book air battery draining with Apple TV

    hello, my MacBook air battery drains whilst using Apple tv even though I have the MacBook plugged into the power socket
    Could you please let me know what may be the problem? When I'm not using Apple tv the battery is fine whilst plugged in.
    thanks

    That sounds very odd - potentially your MacBook Air battery may be old/failing and charging cannot keep pace with discharge to communicate with AppleTV but I'd find that a little odd if you get good battery life otherwise.
    Do you have an AppleStore locally where you could arrange a Genius appointment to run some diagnostics on the battery?
