  • Bummer. You don't recall removing your AirPort card from your MacBook! Don't worry. We have a few things for you to try.
  • First off, ensure your Mac is completely up to date. Check the Mac App Store for any Software Updates.
  • If updating didn't work, give the good old resets a try.
1) Shut down all applications (except for Finder - leave this open).  To do this, press Option + Command + Esc at the same time.  Then close all apps.
2) Completely shut down your computer
3) While its off, press all of these at the same time Ctrl+option+shift+power and hold this down for around 5 seconds.  Then release at the same time.
4) Power on your device normally using the power button.
