Apple Store does not install the card."I've connected my iPhone to WiFi network. If you decide to use GeekSquad, call your local Best Buy-if they're even still in business when you're reading this-and contact them that way. If you want to hire someone to install the card, GeekSquad told me it would take about two days and $49. Besides the exception noted above, I followed the procedure described here: d-in-an-intel-mac-pro/ The antenna connections are snug so it takes some patience to get them seated correctly. Based on something someone said on a thread, I connected wires labeled 1 & 2 to the antenna terminals on the card. On the later models, the Airport slot is close to the drive bay. Mine was an early 2009 model and I found out that the location for the Airport card in those models is underneath the RAM/CPU block which is easily removed by pulling on the two tabs. So, I recommend having a pair of tweezers close by to pick up dropped screws. For me, the trickiest part was getting the set screws in I lost one, but got the other one in.

I was able to install an Airport extreme card that I ordered from Amazon in my 2009 Mac Pro and it worked as soon as I booted up. 😕įor anyone who is reading this and facing the same dilemma, here is what I did to resolve it. That was very confusing for a while as I thought I was having problems with a weak WIFI signal. I was getting the same "Wi-Fi card is turned off." dialog box that you described, even though there wasn't even a card installed. Thanks Bangarang143, I'm glad it worked out for you! It turned out that the Mac Pro I have is from 2009 and Airport was just an option not all of those models came with the card installed. Hopefully this information helps! Thank you for your help I really appreciate it! I entered their credentials manually, but it still wouldn't connect. BUT I clicked on "assist me", went through a couple of steps and received this notification:Īfter clicking OK, it brought me to a screen of wireless networks, but it couldn't detect either of the two that should be accessible. So then I tried creating a new admin account and loggin into it. I did everything you suggested and here's a screenshot of where I got stuck:Īs you can see in this screenshot, there is no wifi icon to click on. No, there is no wifi icon up there like on all my other macs. Wow, thank you for the quick reply! I'll quickly answer your questions and then give you an update.

Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account. To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this. Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list. System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order. System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

Is there a Wifi icon in the Menubar? If so, is it OFF? Hello, & a warm welcome to the forum, great 1st post! 🙂 I'm hoping there is a simple explanation for this and if anyone has one, please help me out! Thank you!
If a screenshot is needed of that, just ask. I'm not an expert on Wireless settings, but it seems right. Under System Report>Wi-Fi, everything appears to be installed and running correctly.

When I click the "+" button to add a network, under the "interface" dropdown, the options available are: FireWire, Ethernet, Bluetooth DUN, VPN, PPPoE, and 6 to 4 (no wi-fi obviously). When I go to System Preferences>Network, the only things shown in the left sidebar are Ethernet, FireWire, and Bluetooth PAN. The External Modem and Wi-Fi options are grayed out and un-clickable. When I open Network Diagnostics, the only two options available are Ethernet and Other. After troubleshooting multiple times, here is some information that you will probably need to help me: The problem is that I moved into a house and the owner's wireless router is located in the living room. It hasn't been a big deal until recently because I prefer a wired connection anyway. From day 1, the WiFi hasn't worked and I could never figure out why. I bought my late 2011 iMac used from a good friend that barely used it.
I can usually find solutions to my problems myself, but this one has got me stumped! Hello, this is my first time posting in Apple's discussions, so please bare with me.
