Mac Pro :: New - Apple Store Installed Airport Card - Not Seen By OSX
Mar 25, 2009
I just got a new MacPro 2008 and had the Apple Store install the $50 card before i lugged it back home. I get home hook everything up and OSX doesn't see the AirPort card. I open up the computer and see the card physically there and it is. Is there something i need to do, to enable it so OSX can see it? Do the "Genius People" test everything before they give it to the consumer? Or am i missing something.

is it really worth it to buy a new Mac Pro in the Apple store vs getting it at a reseller such as Amazon? I'd like to save as much as possible, so no tax and shipping saves me over $200 on the low end Mac Pro alone. My concern is getting the Airport extreme wifi card, but I know its not available in the Apple store and from what I understand, the only way to get it is either by bringing in the Mac Pro to the Apple store to buy the airport extreme card and have it installed by Apple, or by buying it from somewhere like ebay and doing a DIY.
I do not prefer the latter option if it goes against warranty, even though it may be easy. But does anyone know how much it would cost to have Apple install it, and if its same day installation? All in all, is it worth it to go through Apple with the Mac Pro, and pay the $200+ in additional tax? Actually, the airport extreme card is the ONLY CTO option that I want to add to the machine because everything else I'll add or upgrade later. So I can't help but feel like thats just so much money just to get the card. Of course, I'm planning all this for the 2010 Mac Pro, which is what I'm saving up for, but I'd like to get someone's opinion on this.

I've recently got a refurbished Mac Pro from Apple, and once I'd set my system up and tried to connect to the internet, I soon learnt that there was no Airport Card installed, so I'm unable to get a wireless internet connection.
Having looked in the Apple Store online, I can't see any internal cards, just base stations. I looked up the Airport Extreme Card, which I thought would solve my problem, but from what I could see that is only compatible with older Macs.

i have a late 2007 macbook which came with pre-installed airport software. it was all fine and dandy up until this week when i got ethernet for my modem so my computer was connecting to the internet that way. i turned off the airport since there was no need and i have no service in the area.
however, around this time the ethernet cable was jammed and i had to tug really hard for about five minutes to dislodge it from the computer. the connection works just fine so that's not the issue.
i tried to turn back on the airport but it wouldn't. so i rebooted, installed all the updates from mac and then the options, even from the system preferences menu, said that there was no airport card installed.
what could be the issue? could the card have been dislodged? would i have to reseat it or did the updates mess with something?

I have a 2010 Intel Mac Mini. The mini has worked great for a solid year plus on wifi, one day i decided to relocate my wireless router and it all went downhill from there. Wireless has worked intermittently since and now says "No Airport Card Installed" I tried it via ethernet as well and it says "Cable unplugged".  All other wireless devices work great (Ipad2, Macbook, Ipod Touch). I have reset the SMC and the NVRAM 3 times to no avail

Last night I watched Netflix just fine, put my laptop to bed and this morning, no wif-fi connection!!. Blank airport icon reading "No Airport Card Installed." Recently installed new battery, not that that probably matters.Do you think my Airport Card died overnight? I have tried restarting twice and nothing. Other devices can connect to the wi-fi just fine.Staying tethered to the modem is a drag especially since I just forked over $130 for a new battery! I have a MBp-17 with OS 10.5.8, Mahalo from Kona Hawaii.

i just got my new macbook 2 hours ago. i came home to set it up and there was no "antenna" or "signal strength" icon on the top right in the menu bar. I went to system profiler and clicked on airport, and it said "no information available", so i assume there's not one installed. thats about my luck. ill be taking it back in the morning.

I transported my Macbook and when I set it up again it does not connect to the Internet and i get the message "No airport card installed". Does this mean the airport card needs replacing? It also does not read a USB stick.

The Airport Card in my 2008 MBP 17" seems to work intermittently, sometimes when waking from sleep or restarting it shows up as "Airport Card not installed". Other times it will switch on fine. I phoned AppleCare (I have 3yr) and they made me reset the PRAM & SMC, which initially worked, but now it back to it's old tricks of not working. Not sure what to do, don't really want to send my MBP off for a week.

So I'm working on my macbook pro (core duo, 2.16, sys 10.6.8) when I notice the battery is running down. I plug it in. Nothing happens, no lights, battery continues to drain. So I go online, when I get the great news that my laptop doesn't think that there's an airport card installed. OK, I try the brick in another magsafe type Macbook, it lights up fine. I try that laptop's power brick in my laptop. No lights, no charge.
This computer was working fine the day before. The battery only has 117 charge cycles.Never had an airport issue. I tried resetting the power thing, (SMC?) the pram, no luck. As far as I know, the computer was unplugged and sitting idle until I started working on it today, transferring some photos from my camera to the laptop.

I have an Airport card installed in my Cube. Whenever I turn it on it says "none of your trusted networks can be found. would you like to join the network named default?" default being the name of the network in our house. none of my other computers do this, they all join automatically. how can I fix this?

I just picked up my iMac g5 20" (2.0 GHz PPC) from the Apple Store for having the power supply replaced. Now I've lost all traces of the built-in Airport Extreme Card: When I click on the now hollow diamond-shaped Airport icon, I get a grayed-out prompt stating "No Airport card installed". Any record of an Airport Card under System Profile comes up with "No information found". My Airport Express does not show up in Network settings either.
Airport Express works fine in my Macbook Pro, so I know it's not something wrong with my Airport Express. I tried installing the "Login & Keychain Update", but can't: "You cannot install Login & Keychain Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". Ran Disk Utility and came up with errors and unable to repair disk. The iMac was fine going in - except, of course, for the random shut-downs from a failing power supply.
