WiFi quit working on Mac Air

The WiFi on my Macbook Air suddenly quit working. I have tried everything to get it to read the signal including deleting the settings and starting over. My two iMacs and my iPad all read the WiFi fine. Can anyone help?

Wifi not working on mac air windows 7

i cant get connected to internet after installing window 7 on my new macbook air no wi-fi bars in the tray,any help will do

Have you installed the Windows support software?
If not, restart your Mac, hold the Option (Alt) key while your Mac is starting and choose your OS X volume.
After starting up, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), press Continue, and tick only the option to download the Windows support software. Then, follow its steps to burn it into a USB drive.
When it has finished, restart in Windows, access to your USB drive from Windows Explorer and run the installer. Your drivers will be installed, and after a simple restart, you will have Wi-Fi

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I have pages and keynote on my iPad, how to i make them work on mac air i have bought later

i have Pages and Keynote, and others of course, on my iPad, how to i make them work on mac air i have bought recently ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The iPad uses iOS, and your MacBook Air uses OS X, which are different operating systems with different apps.
iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers) have got two version: for OS X and for iOS. You already purchased Keynote and Pages for iOS, so you can install them in all your iPhones, iPads and iPods touch for free, but not in the MacBook Air, because the iOS version isn't supported. You have to buy Keynote and Pages for OS X in the Mac App Store for your MacBook Air.
To access to the Mac App Store, press its icon in the Dock or go to  > App Store

FaceTime worked not working on Mac Air

FaceTime is not working on Mac Air version 10.9.4. Was working fine before. When logging in with Apple ID it will not Verify. Seems like it is corrupt. I can't reinstall app because when I throw it in the trash I get a message "FaceTime can't be modified or deleted because its required by OS X".

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the OS X 10.9 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

WiFi Quit Working

I have had my iPod touch for a long time. I have an older generation, and a month ago, my wi-fi just quit working. I get a message that says "unable to connect to" which ever network that I am trying to connect to. I have restored it completely, and I have tried everything else that I can think of. My friends and family connect easily with their iPod's. I am not sure why mine won't connect. Any help would be appreciated!!

Have you reset your network settings? Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. When your iPod restarts, try to log back onto your network by tapping Settings > WiFi > Other and entering your network name, security, and password.
You might also want to power cycle your router.
Does your iPod connect to any networks - like free hot-spots? If it does, you can rule out hardware problems. If it doesn't you will need to have it repaired.

Can the mavericks update be done on my mac air?

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Wifi quit working after upgrade

Wifi Quit after upgrade - Will hook up after a long time but is very week...

I think you should ask a different apple genius, sometimes that can make a big difference. Go see the folks at your phone svs provider store. They are more genius than others - they deal with ?'s everyday all day.

You'll have to back up to itunes. In what way does wifi not work? Can't find a router, can't log in successfully, doesn't stay active once connected?

Verizon Wifi now works on Mac?

Read this blog and would love to know if any qualifed Verizon customers can verify if this change actually works.
http://wyang0.blogspot.com/2012/01/verizon-wi-fi-for-all-devices-mac-linux.html

Is there an answer to this?
(please no uninformed answers from people who do not understand the issue)
This is a sore point for Verizon hight-speed FiOS subscribers who are promised Version Wifi Hostspot access as a "free" extra benefit of paying extra for high-speed FiOS.
Macs can access "Verizon WiFi hotspots"   (in fact often (always?) provided by Boingo, but not accessed as a Boingo user) with Verizon's special Windows-only access manager *IF* running Windows natively (bootcamp), but *NOT* with Windows running in a Parallels or VMware virtual machine running under OS X.
This is because the Verizon access manager connects directly to WiFi hardware using the native widows WiFi driver, while a virtual machine only has a virtual network interface to the Apple WiFi driver that runs when the machine is booted into OS X.   (The native windows wifi driver in the virtual machine is not connected to the WiFi hardware, so the Verizon access manager fails)
I used to have a bootcamp installation of windows *just* to access the "Free" Verizon WIFI access (in aiports with boingo) that comes as a "free extra" with high speed VerizonFiOS subscriptions.    (Native OS X access to "free" Verizon WiFi for high-speed FiOs subscribers has been "coming soon" for at least three years!)
Is it here yet?
(I suspect "no")

Wifi not working latest mac update

I Have just done the latest software security update and now my wifi does not work I have tried turning it off and on and everything in between but I am having no joy at all. I can access the internet through my phone using it as a hotspot for the same WIFI network the the system just won't let me access the Wifi through my MAC.

Try Wireless Diagnostics.

Charger not working on mac air

I have a charger that work in some outlets like at work but very dicey on working at home all the time. Any suggestions?

if all the outlets that you tried are known to work fine with other devices, the problem might be the charger. Also, if your mac is a mid 2013 model, the charger is also covered under the warranty.

Airport extreme quit working with mac,dell etc.digital cable the issue? or?

Hi! I had luck here before, so I'm hoping I can find luck again! I'm with my folks, who run a Dell Desktop with WIndows XP Home Edition with cable modem, my Airport Extreme running wireless with my Macbook (listed) and an older than old dell notebook with a wireless card. It has been running fine for the last year.
Now, the new problem: My parents upgraded their phone to digital- so for the first week or so, every time the phone rang, I lost wireless- I presume from interference. On Monday, I was online, and was abruptly cut off. I was not able to get on again for the rest of the day. As sometimes the cable goes out- I didn't think much of it. Until the next day when I couldn't get back online, and the dell desktop could not get on either. My father called in to TW who walked him through several different solutions- none of which gave me wireless. I'm left with an old dell desktop to work on- (I'm a mac girl- I'm going insane). I need the stuff on my macbook- job applications to be sent, book writing for uploads- and my sanity back. Is it possible my Airport Extreme went? Is it the modem itself? Is it the wireless phone interference? My mac will show it can see the network- but can't connect to the internet- Any help at all will be greatfully accepted!
Thank you!!

What is the make/model of the new modem?
Since it sounds like your parents now have VoIP as their phone service, it might more likely be a bandwidth issue as opposed to a Wi-Fi interference issue that you are seeing. This would make sense since the Dell desktop is not able to connect to the Internet either.
One thing to try is to perform a complete power recycle of all the network components to see if this resolves the issue of connectivity. The simpliest method would be to first power everything off. Then, starting with the modem, power it back on; wait 10 - 15 minutes, and then, power-up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS); wait 5 - 10 minutes. Finally, power on the computers.

My WiFi quit working when I ran Firefox updates. How do I regain access?

Firefox takex an exceptionally long time to load, I had to call my internet provider to regain access to the net and no longer have access to wireless. It looks as though there is a connection but I cannot access WiFi.

Might be corrupted network preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.
