My wireless icon is gone

My ipad 2 works beautifully at home, and was working fine at work - we have one of those 'hotel' like pages you have to sign in to to use the Internet here, which I still see and sign in to, but then can't open a browser page or get Internet. All the settings look right, same as at home, WiFi on etc. But now, here at work, there is NO ICON in the utmost upper left corner by the word Ipad - something isn't on. Whatcould it be?

Hey there. Boot your machine from the disc Macintosh OS X Install Disc 1, that came with your computer. As you boot, hold down the "D" key. The computer will start up in hardware diagnostic mode. Run the diagnostic and see if anything shows up.
This sounds like a hardware problem. I have read reports elsewhere of some users having issue with the Airport card pre-installed in their MacBook Pros before. If you can, take the machine in to your local Apple Store, or call AppleCare and describe your issue.

  • Exclamation Mark on wireless icon

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook 5,2 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz 2GB Memory running snow leopard. I connect to my personal wireless at home and a wireless at my university campus (set-up on campus).
    Since my upgrade to snow leopard I have had no issues at home however on campus the wireless icon shows an exclamation mark with a message on the drop down menu "alert: no internet connection". this happens on my university campus only (at least so far). The strange thing is the internet is working and I can browse/download etc. I have contacted the IT department on campus and they have said the issue has only started with people with snow leopard and have no idea. To clarify, the internet is working but I am being told it is not (on campus only, not the case at home). It is not a huge issue as I can access the internet but the exclamation mark is driving me crazy and cannot find a solution.
    Any ideas? anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks for your help!

    We too have similar problems. I have an older macbook with leopard and it's fine - but a new MBPro with snow leopard has all these problems.
    I was prompted to respond here in particular because when we tried to wirelessly connect the MBPro to my home router (it worked for about 30 seconds initially - internet connection as well, but then died) it not only doesn't work (and shows the exclamation mark) but it hangs the router - ie: the old macbook loses connection as well. The only fix here is to restart the router.
    This result is completely repeatable. Now (because we successfully connected for a few seconds with the correct wep password) all we have to do is open the lid of the MBPro and my old trusty macbook stops working as well!! (I can't ping the router at this stage either) Power cycle router and comes good again (having turned off airport on the MBPro).
    Now, at a different location our BT broadband has gone pear-shaped (almost brand new homehub looks as if it might have died) one wonders if the MBPro is suspect again..
    I do hope an OS update will fix this annoyance.

  • I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

  • The icons in the bookmark tool bar are blank and the text that use to be below the icon is gone. I now have to cursor over the blank icons to see the text and the one I want. Can the icon/text customization be returned?

    In the Navigation Toolbar, the icons "Back", "Forward" etc. show the small icon and the descriptive text below the Icon. My Bookmark Toolbar use to have the same icon/text format but at some point, possibly a browser update, that changed. Currently, I do have a visible Bookmark Toolbar BUT the icons do not show the website icon, as previously, and the text below each icon is gone. I an cursor over each icon and the text becomes visible next to the icon. This is a bit of a pain to find a bookmark. Can I do a customization to return to the icon/text format.
    Was this changed because browser users requested this option, or was it an internal decision.? If the later why make such changes when not requested?

    That wasn't a change in Firefox. It sounds like something is broken in your Firefox installation, or you are misunderstanding the different between the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other Toolbars.
    In the Bookmarks Toolbar the text appears next to the website icon, not below the icon as with the other two Toolbars, and it's not switchable between text and no text as with the other Toolbars. With both the bookmark icon and the Bookmark name missing, something is broken in your installation. You need to do a little troubleshooting.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes]
    If your problem isn't related to an extension, your bookmarks data base file (places.sqlite) is probably corrupt. <br />
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite <br />
    Be aware that if you delete the "places.sqlite" and similar files, your bookmark website icons won't automatically appear (the JSON backups don't have that icon data) when you restart Firefox and the places.sqlite is rebuilt using the backup data file, but the icons should be saved the first time each bookmark is used for the first time.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Wireless option is gone!!!

    I have a HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw.  The blue lit wireless icon used to stay on steady and all was fine for quite a while, then the Blue icon would start flashing like it lost it connection to the wireless router.  I would just recycle the power on the printer and let it reboot.  Usually it would connect with the router again but, it's been getting worse lately.  I figured I would try to the latest firmware to the printer as maybe there was a clitch with the original firmware.........Well, now I get no blue wireless icon and the wireless menu disappeared from the touch screen.  I tried to access the wireless settings in the web browser, the program said "this product does not support wireless connectivity.......WHAT?!!!!!  I tried a "cold reset" on the printer to clear everything and still have no wireless option.  I suppose its going to stick with the same firmware that was last installed.  I did notice that the printer lists itself with an "N" at the end of the model # on any printed report instead of the "NW" its supposed to be.  I did download the printer firmware from the Pro 200 color MFP M276nw support page.  it's acting like it now has the firmware for the non-wireless version of this printer.   This is the firmware I used
    file name:
    M276_colorMFP_Series_FW_Update-20140521.exe [1/1, 14.32M]
    .  Any Ideas how to fix this?  Seems like this is the wrong firmware for this printer.  Everything else appears to work ok.
    Bob

    ****UPDATE****  After running a few copies through the printer the wireless feature showed up again.  The printed reports started to show this printer with the "NW" at the end of the model number instead of just the "N".   After a few minutes it all went away again.  Seeing the correct model number show up for a few minutes made me believe the correct printer firmware is installed.  To make this a short story, I ordered the wireless PCA assy (Small internal wireless circuit board, HP part #1150-7940) and replaced it.  It's been working great for the past few days( since the board was replaced).   Apparently,  if the system does not see a working wireless board it defaults to the non-wireless model number and the wireless option disappears from the menu screen.  The other thing is there apparently is no fault code that covers this type of failure.....frustrating, to say the least.  I will update if this is not the fix but, it looks like I got it!
    Thanks!!!!!!!

    I just had the same problem. Took the first unit back and the problem is still occuring on the second one. I solved it by setting up again with the USB, but it keeps dropping out every few days.

  • Preview icon was gone from dock

    Hi everyone
    I have a problem with Mountain Lion. When I opened a pdf documents with Preview, it worked fine. After I closed the document (without quitting Preview) then I clicked on desktop, the Preview icon was gone from the dock. But when I opened Force quit menu, the Preview app was still on.
    What should I do? It didn't happen before
    Thanks

    Right. This is how Applications are supposed to work. So you want Preview to behave the same, but in your situation it is disappearing from the Dock even though its clearly still running in the background (ie, as is evident when you open the force-quit window)?
    This could be a problem with the Dock's settings, or those for the Preview application itself.
    If you create a new user account for testing purposes (in the Users & Groups system preferences) and log into that account, does the same problem happen when running Preview?

    The icon for his library was there and was not updated when you left his house.
    When you tried to reconnect, it updated and correctly removed the icon.
    To get it back, go back to his house and get on his local network.

  • IPad 2, ios7, all but 4 random icons are gone.

    Overnight, all but 4 of the iPad icons are gone, including Settings, Safari and all the default icons that came with the iPad. The device is not jail broken or modified. Tried a reset (home/off) and 2 icons came back - texting, and a random game - so now I have six. Tried searching the iPad and they're not there. I had the iPad backed up to my PC (Win 7), which of course due to Murphy's law was recently wiped by my IT department (and they also nuked iTunes that wasn't supposed to happen) and the iPad weirdness happened before I had a chance to reload iTunes on my PC. Any thoughts? The device has never been dropped or harmed. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks!  I was just figured this out myself too.  I was moving the app around and accidentally move one app over another and then it asks to create a folder name.  Wow, I wasn't think that possible but this is way too easy.  I can completely manage to organize my apps in my PB.  Hmmm...I better dig into the user guide for more tricks.  I love OS 2.0 now.   Way to go RIM...

  • My address book icon is gone from the screen on my black...

    my address book icon is gone from the screen on my blackberry pearl..please help me recover. Thanks

    Make selective backup
    save only data that you need to be saved.
    After that on the device go to Options - Security Options - General Settings
    Hit the menu button and select "Wipe handheld"
    It will wipe the device memory.
    After that restore the saved information to the device.
