Help us to solve this problem.

Depends on whether or not the machine is under warranty or not. If it is, just take it to an applestore and let them worry about it. If not, your airport card may have failed and may need to be replaced. It could also be that the card needs to be reseated, which is what I would check first. Look for a guide at ifixit.com.

My Macbook Pro is not connecting to the network and reads no airport card installed

This morning all of a sudden my mac has no network connection. When I run the cursor over the area to select it reads that no airport card is installed. I was online last night nd everything was fine. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am having the same problem. First on a new ViewSonic, which I sent back thinking it wasn't working. Now the same problem on my new Powerbook Mac with a new Epson projector. Apple support hasn't been helpful.

MacBook says no airport card install suddenly

My MacBook suddenly lost wifi connection and says that no airport card installed. How can I reinstall the card?

There are a couple of things you can try to get your AirPort card working again.
Reset the Parameter RAM - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
Reset the System Management Controller - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If neither of those works, you probably have a dead AirPort.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.
Best of luck.

I tried to restore my MacBook account password. It put me to the restoring menu and asked to enter my Apple ID and password. The problem is when I am in that menu MacBook cant connect wifi. I tried to connect it during the loading (holding ctrl), but in this way it disconnects and puts me to that menu again, so I cant enter any menu to connect wifi, it only asks me to choose the language and than continues with this password resroring menu.

I cant connect to WiFi on my iPod Touch 1G?

I have had an iPod Touch 1G for quite some time now, but I recently upgraded the iOS firmware to 3.1.3, and I just noticed that I cant connect to wifi! Nothing is grayed out, but it cannot find any connections. Ive tried resetting my router and wifi settings, but that diddnt seem to work either.

So it is not this problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Teh try:
Does the iPod connect to other networks? (noit clear if you have access to more than one)
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lumia 520 cant connect to Wifi

For heavens sake .Lumia 520 is a smartphone that cant connect to wifi. very useless. I have tried all those steps abt settings on the router without success. i love my fone but i feel disappointed with it..Feel like i can return it to shop

Is it just your wifi that you have problems connecting to or is it all wifis? What router settings have you checked? Router settings can be a complex maze but there is no reason why the 520 should not connect unless there is an issue with your specific handset.

HT4623 i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

I had the same problem. I reset my network settings as iOS 8 on my iPad 3 seemed a bit slow. When I tried to reconnect to the wifi the correct password was not accepted immediately.
after retrying several times it did manage to join the network. The only observation I had was that I had a weak signal and an iPhone next to me at the time.
make sure you are close to the wifi signal away from any other wifi devices.

I cant connect to wifi unless i am near the modem

Cant Connect to Wifi

Ever since I updated my iphone 4s, I cant connect to WiFi.
I've read various threads on WiFi connectivity issues, and tried numerous things to fix it, but none have worked
In my household, there are 2 iphone 4's, mine and my girlfriends, which are both connected to eachother on a shared plan. Hers 100% works, all the time. Mine, does not work, will not connect to anything, and most of the time will not even find any networks available.
I've tried resetting network settings, I've tried restoring my router, I've tried fidgiting with the channels and speeds, somethings wrong here and its just with my specific phone. Is anyone else having this issue and has anyone resolved it?

Try update firmware of router.

I need help I cant connect on wifi just "unable to join the network"

I tried all solution but still i am unable to connect to my wifi. It started yesterday when my ipad cant connect to wifi.

It's hard to provide help when your question starts out with, "I tried all solutions" however here is some troubleshooting advice.
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

I have a problem with my iphone 4S. I cant connect to wifi a week ago. Can somebody help me please?

I have tried everything but my iphone continue without connected.
Thanks.

Hello.
My iphone doesn't recognize any signal wifi.
I have rebooted the red options as indicated on apple portal.
Also, I have turned off my iphone and when I turn it on don't enable the wifi option, and then I have to turn it off and turn it on again.
I have restored to the factory settings but the problem continues.
I don't know anything else to do.
Regards,
