"No Airport Installed" but it came with Macbook & has worked for 1.5 yrs?!

I am not sure if this is Airport Express? It came w/my Macbook, already installed.
It has worked fine w/ no problems till this morning. Was working fine last night. Did nothing but turn it off last night, this morning turned it on, & says no internet connection. Clicking on Airport icon up by clock says only "No AirPort Card Installed."
Followed troubleshooting on this site, which lead me to the Apple Menu, About This Mac, More Info, Network: Airport Card: "No information found." Troubleshooting says this means I need a new Airport Card.
Any idea why this happened? $$ is super short right now- are there any other possible solutions? How much is a new Airport Card going to run me?

I have had the same problem!
Within the 1 year warranty I took my MacBook Air into the store I bought it in as I could not connect to the net due to "No airport card installed" Strangely, when instore, it suddenly worked!
A friend of mine bought a new Mac and I was lucky enough to be given her old IMac, and so did not use my MacAir for a while, when I did, and passed the warranty date, I had the same problem.
It recently reared to life all by itself, without doing anthing. But died again after about a week. I now have too tried all the suggested fixes I can find - nothing works.
This is clearly a widespread problem. You only need search "No airport card installed" and thousands of forums come up. Is anyone from Apple reading these forums? Surely if this is an Apple default customers should be entitled to a replacement, or at the very least a lasting solution to the problem?
I live in Dubai, and unfortunately there is no Apple store here, and no information on this site provides any help as far as support goes for the Middle East!
I am utterly disappointed. My Mac has harldy been touched, and is a rather pricey decoration!

MacBook Pro early 2011 System information shows only 2gb Ram installed but it came with 4gb ??

I have an eary 2011 model of Macbook Pro. It had 4gb of ram installed on it but i recently checked the system information ans found that it only 2gb installed
Please help me resolve this issue .

I'd say either a module fell out or died or was removed.

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast. Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

HT3777 if i restore my macbook back to its factory settings with the grey install disk that came with my macbook, will this wipe out the bootcamp partition? (i don't want it to)

i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?

Install Snow Leopard from CD that came with MacBook Pro to different Mac

I need to re-install Snow Leopard on an older MacBook of mine I want to clean out for my wife.
The problem is the Snow Leopard CD (family pack) I purchased months ago is scratched, damaged I believe by an iMac at my business. I want to see if it is possible to install 10.6 from the CD's I recently got with my new MacBook pro. I tried to use them in the MacBook (Intel) I'm trying to hand off to my wife but after I selected the language option I got an error message stating I couldn't install that disc on the computer. It already runs 10.6 so I know it's not an OS issue. Is my MacBook detecting that the installation CD is not the same one that came with it?
Sorry for the wordy post and thanks in advance for any help.

From what i can tell, the media contains only the necessary files to install to that model-specific hardware.
This is both for licensing & technical reasons. Licensing because that disc is licensed for use only with that specific Mac (not model, literally just that Mac) & technical because pre- & post-install scripts & other installer features on grey system discs are designed just for that model.
Curious. I know i've used system restore discs from one machine on another due to the fact that we used to - for reasons unknown to me - allow users to keep their restore discs, at which point they subsequently lost them.
Perhaps it's just older models that allowed it?
No matter. Thanks for the clarification.

Upgrading iMac to Leopard using Leopard disk that came with Macbook Air

I recently go a Macbook Air. I would like to use the Leopard install disks that came with the Air to upgrade my Intel iMac. When I try to install using the Air install disks I get an error saying that the upgrade is not possible.
Not sure if its not possible because of certain configuration restrictions or maybe I'm not supposed to upgrading because of copywrite restrictions.
Thanks,
Joel Simkhai

No problem Rodney. I an understand your frustration with the issue.
Hopefully this reminds you that education is probably the best way to combat piracy. The second best way, in my opinion, is to give consumers one of the options what they want - the ability to download software, movies, music, etc without cumbersome restrictions. Probably doesn't make sense for most people to download a whole operating system-but the day is approaching. Personally, I think the future of installed software that needs to be manually upgraded are numbered. Instead we'll probably see the operating system and all needed software customized for the user hosted on centralized (hopefully encrypted, secure, backup-ed and private) servers.

I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:

With an Iphone 4s you have maps installed but is this with voice guidance? I don't have my own iphone yet but I would use it as a GPS if there is voice guidance on the Iphone

With an Iphone 4s you have maps installed but is this with voice guidance? I don't have my own iphone yet but I would use it as a GPS if there is voice guidance on the Iphone

There is no built in navigation app on the iPhone. If you want navigation, with voice guidance, you will have to purchase an app in the app store. While you can use the iPhone maps app to plan/map a trip, it is not a true navigation app & does not provide voice guidance. The iPhone maps app also requires a data connection, as none of the data is stored locally on your phone.

I have installed Angry Birds Seasons HD on my iPad. It has installed, but another icon with a full blue bar with 'installing' written below is displayed. It's not even being deleted... HELP!

Repeating your question in the post doesn't fully explain what the problem is. Are you saying that you installed the game and it is trying to install again?
Without knowing anymore than why you have posted ..... try rebooting the iPad and see if the installing resumes, the download disappears .....
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
