No Wifi symbol in my menubar, network preferences or utilities. Can anyone help?

I have a Mac Pro from early 2008. I am running Yosemite 10.10.5. I want to connect to my Panel solar sitter to the Mac via Wifi, but I can't, for the life of me, find any reference to Wifi anywhere on my Mac. There is no symbol in the menu bar, nothing in the applications, utilities, or anywhere where I can see. In ' about this Mac' Panel, it shows Wifi under network, but non-material. Network, in the preferences system, it shows no reference to Wifi or Airplay anywhere, so I can't allow it. I used the search on the Mac, but it returns no results. I am connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable. I would assume Wifi will present on the list in Network preferences, but there is nothing. Am I missing something or is there no Wifi on this machine? Any advice would be appreciated.

Go to System Preferences > network.  Basically, there should be a box that you check: Show Status of Wi - Fi in the menu bar.


Ciao.

  • can anyone help with an Airport Express set to existing wifi if it is not recognized in utility?  I fired several times by default.

    I have Airport express 802.11n and can not make it appear in Airport utility.

    Which version of AirPort Utility?   If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility and click on the menu of AirPort Utility in the upper left of the screen. Then click on the utility AirPort post back with the version number that you see there.

    Is the Terminal AirPort Express 802.11n have an Ethernet port, or both?

    Is the existing WiFi provided by another Apple AirPort router?

    You try to get the AirPort Express to connect to the network using a Wi - Fi?... or... the AirPort Express will connect using wired Ethernet wired, permanent access to the existing wireless router?

  • Can't buy the home network defender after the trial. Can anyone help?

    I get an error page that says: we cannot process your request due to the instability of your Internet connection. Please try again in a few minutes, I have talked to 2 live technicians and still no help.  The first guy said that I had to buy for the hnd network magic to work.  I told him that in the FAQ page, it is said that you do not have purchase Network Magic to use hnd.  He said that it was inaccurate and it will work if I buy the program.  So I paid for the magic of the network, and you know that I always get the same error page.  so I talked to the second live tech and they gave me the support for network magic number.  When I called them the guy said that I had no need of magic network to use hnd.  He was kind enough to give me my money back.  He said I need to talk to someone to linksys support to help me.  Well, I think I'm done with it.  No one knows how to help me and it looks like they don't care to help me buy their own product.  I used during my trial and loved hnd.  I also talked to trend micro and they said that they do not support hnd and just give me a web link to the linksys support page.  Thus, it seems that no linksys or trend micro can help me buy their product.  If someone is there who can help me to let me know.  They have a customer waiting at their doorstep.  Or maybe I should just return the router as well as another brand.

  • Network preferences keep resetting, cannot change or update

    This has been fixed, but I couldn't find where someone else had a similar problem, so I thought I would describe the problem and how I got around him.

    The problem is after the installation of El Capitan (upgrade from Mavericks), upgrade wiped out my network configuration. It took me a while to realize that he had activated my WiFi and erased my wired ethernet config. When I went into system-> Network Preferences and tried to enter values, I couldn't enter anything, because he would have reset my entries or interrupt me with a dialog box until I can finish. I couldn't change any settings, even the manual settings.

    The cause of this problem is that, my Mac Pro for a reason, not connecting not reliable to my gigabit switch Gigabit speed. My other computers do, but not the Mac Pro. The easy solution is to manually configure the adapter to use 100 Mbps and it then connects reliably. (I tried different cables, etc..) El Capitan wouldn't let me configure the adapter for 100 Mbps. He kept just reset the config on auto.

    After reboot and around hunting for preference files to remove, I diverted the ethernet connection to my 100 Mbps router, so the adapter would choose 100 Mbps. Once I did that network preferences has allowed me to enter an IP address, subnet mask, router, DNS, etc., while I couldn't before. I went to the hardware configuration and selected manual config/100Mbps on the adapter. He may also have worked just to unplug the cable and configure the adapter when you are not connected. It seems that the system continuously tries to connect to 1000Mbps and reset, which resets the pane preferences constantly, not to let whatever it is automatically registered.

    As far as I am concerned, this is a bug. I have not encountered this before El Capitan. However, it is unlikely that Apple will resolve this anytime soon, because it requires you to have some sort of marginal hardware configuration that causes the adapter to think he can connect to 1000Mbps and then immediately fail to do.

    This has been resolved.

  • Slow network preferences

    Hello

    For some reason any, whenever I click on the icon WiFi at the top right that it takes a good 2-3 seconds for the menu to appear which shows the currently connected network, etc... and then when I select "Open Network Preferences" on the bottom of this menu it takes forever for interfaces to appear. For 20-30 seconds, it appears as below:

    Finally, all interfaces appear but it is really slow to change any settings here. It's the same if I go into the system preferences-> network. All other components are preferably fast and the rest of the operating system is fast and behave normally. It started when I upgraded to 10.11.5.

    This is what appears in the console until the interfaces to load:
