The wifi-icon on the topbar is gone.
I'm still connected to the internet. Also I can click on it, but the icon isn't visible. I have already tried to put on and off the setting in the network preferences. Also in menu extras tried to put it back...
Go to System Preferences & remove the check to show the WiFi icon in the menu bar. Now, launch Terminal from your Utilities folder & copy/paste the following:
killall SystemUIServer
Hit Enter, the re-boot your computer, go back into System Preferences & put the check back in the box to show WiFi icon in menu bar. Does it now show up?

I have iPhone 4s, after i updated my software to 7.0.4 my wifi stopped working. The wifi icon at the top is gone. Its annoying that i have to us my data all the time. I've tried the network reset, it didn't work. My phone works fine, just a lilttle bit slow before i upadated to 7.0.4. And now not only the wifi, the phone itself is slower than ever. I wish i didn't udgrade to iOs 7. There's too much problems. There's this one time that I can't send iMessage at all.
Hi s.kouris,
I'm afraid that unless you are able to contact the previous owner and have him wipe the device, or provide you with his Apple ID password so you can delete the iCloud account, you are out of luck.
With iOS 7, an Activiation Lock was added to deter thieves. This lock prevents anyone but the owner of the device from deleting the iCloud account and restoring the device:

Unless you are able to reach the original owner and get the device wiped or the iCloud account deleted, you are stuck with a brick.

"X" in the wifi icon of the toolbar
Similar to "exclamation" mark that others have seen in the wifi icon in the toolbar, I am getting an "X" within wifi icon and cannot add wifi in settings. Has anyone had this issue that can help?
I am running a mid-year 2011 MacBook Air with 1.7 Intel Core i5 / 4GB ram / 128GB of storage.Back up all data before proceeding.
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. -
hi
Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated. -
How do I delete old wifi networks from appearing in the wifi icon in the menu bar.
Just bought a new Airport Time Capsule and is up and running OK.
When I click on the wifi icon in the menu bar all my old wifi networks appear
which are then viewable by neighbours although the networks themselves are PW protected.
In system preferences>network>advanced I have deleted all my old N/Works allowing only
my new one to appear.
How can I delete the old networks I no longer use from re-appearing in the list under the wifi icon?
AlanWhen you delete old networks in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced, be sure to click the OK button, then click the Apply button in the next window that appears.
You also need to delete the old networks in KeyChain Access as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Click on the name of an old wireless network to highlight it
Click the Delete key on your Mac
Do the same for other old wireless networks that you no longer use, then restart your Mac. -
My other questions were anyone in a similar situation? Should I get wifi in my home? What is the best provider in Chicago?
Since the network obviously doesn't belong to you, we're not going to be able to suggest much you can do to fix it. As for getting wifi in your home, do you not already have Internet access? Wireless routers are cheap if you already have wired Internet. If you don't, the "best" provider may not be a relevant question. You probably have 2, maybe 3 choices. Your cable company, your phone company and probably one other choice that is actually running piggyback on either the cable or phone company. If you're in a high rise, the building may have their own service you can buy into.

Is the wifi part of the board on the mac mini
Hello
Recently my wifi was behaving erratically, took the Mac mini to apple, it appeared the hard drive was the problem, hence new hard drive was put in. A week goes by, wonderful, everything is working perfectly, done diagnostic check all settings IP address etc all present and correct, until today. The wifi does not work, no settings are seen when you go to do the diagnostic check. I keep clicking on the wifi icon on the menu bar and selecting my name on the drop down list, nothing happens as it did before changing the drive. Surely this cannot be a drive problem.
If it is the wifi, can I have the wifi changed or will it mean the whole board.
Thanks.
rachealfromvaI recently added a SSD to my mini & re-attaching the WIFI antenna was a bit of a pain. In the new mini you must remove the wifi antenna to gain access to the harddrive in my case I had to pretty much fully dismantle the mini cause I was replacing the bottom drive.
At any rate if Apple did the repair I would take it back in to them at let them know that the WIFI hasn't been working since the drive replacement.
Here is whats the guts look like (not a place for people with large hands): -

My macbook air will not connect to the internet. There is an exclamation point in the wifi icon and when i go into preferences i see that it is setting its own IP address. I have a macbookpro that is able to connect with no issue. HELP
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install. -
My Wifi doesn´t work. The Wifi icon on top menu bar states there is no hardware connected. How can I resolve this as previously Wifi connection worked perfectly. Is this something that to do with the computer hardware? Please advise.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

IPad Fails to connect to wifi, but shows the wifi icon
My company just installed a wireless network in our building. I was very excited because I can finally use my iPad in meetings and ditch the IBM laptop. However, it does not want to connect to the wireless network. Let me try to explain what happens.
BTW,
1. It is a new network so all the routers have the most up to date firmware.
2. I have tried to connect with my iPad2 and iPad both without success. The iPad was recently wiped clean and set up for my son.
3. I can connect to my home network, my sprint mifi card, and other networks (hotels, starbucks) with no problem.
4. Laptops can connect with out issue to the network.
5. Others have been able to connect their iPhone to the network.
6. One other person could not connect their iPod Touch to the network. He gets the same response that I do. I don't know anyone else with an iPad that works in my building. However see item two above.
7. It is using WPA security.
8. I have reset network settings numerous times on both iPads and rebooted both iPads numerous times.
9. I am able to connect to another wifi network in our building. Both networks use the same security and password.
This is what happens:
1. Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi and choose my companies wireless network.
2. It asks for the password and I type it in (Trust me I am typing it in correctly. I have done it about a hundred times now.)
3. Recieve the message "Unable to join the network," I hit Dismiss and Cancel.
4. I get the Checkmark next to the wireless network I just tried to join. If you click the blue arrow I get an IP address, but NO "Forget This Network" Option. I also have the wifi icon next to the word iPad in the upper left corner of the screen. It will also not load any Safari pages. Safari states "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet."
I have also tried:
1. Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi and choose "Other."
2. Type in the SSID name and choose WPA, Type the password.
3. Hit "Join" & get the message "Could not find the network"
4. I hit Dismiss and Cancel.
5. I get the Checkmark next to the wireless network I just tried to join. If you click the blue arrow I get an IP address, but NO "Forget This Network" Option. I also have the wifi icon next to the word iPad in the upper left corner of the screen. It will also not load any Safari pages. Safari states "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet."
Please help. I have read many articles on this forum and tried everything without success.If you are getting a 169... IP, then you are not connected. That is a self-assigned IP that the iPad is giving itself because the router is not giving it one.
Is it possible that you are not selecting the correct WPA security protocol for your network? -

I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?
If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.
