    Thanks for your efforts. My MacBook didn't have some of the texts that you said to click on. I have "no airport card installed" when I click on the non-active wi-fi icon at the top menu bar. I admit that I'm a klutz when it comes to computers. I also called the Mac help line with no result there, either.

    When i try to turn my wifi on, it doesn't turn on for some reason, like it keeps turning off no matter how many times I turn it on. So I changed my location, and restarted my laptop, and when i changed it back to automatic, it worked for sometime. But later, it automatically turnes off again, and it won't turn back on.

    @latinlady1584 Před 8 měsíci

    This video you did explaining adding a "Test" wifi location is great. But do these same instructions also work for hardwired "Ethernet" connection? I used to be able to go to my Ethernet connection setting and turn it "Off" (and it would turn yellow) whenever I wanted. Then, when I'd simply go back to turn it "ON" again whenever I wanted and it would turn green. However, something happened to my Ethernet connection and when I turn it "OFF", it actually doesn't turn it off, it just stays on. So just wondering if you have a solution for my particular issue? Thanks and blessings !

    Very good explanation; thanks. My problem was that if I restarted my MacBook Pro (OS 10.14.6) it would connect to the internet and work for a few minutes in which I could get on the interenet and receive and send mail. Then it would appear to be connected but nothing -- internet or mail -- would load. I am hoping this works! Thank you!

    • @EvanBobbitt
      @EvanBobbitt  Před 3 lety

      Best next thing to try is to fully shut down the computer. Then right after you push the power button to turn it back on hold the following 4 keys all at the same time: Command + Shift + R + P. You should press and hold them right after pressing the power button then keep holding them until you see the computer turn off, keep holding, then it will turn on and you will hear the apple chime, keep holding, and it will do this process a second time. Then you can release and let the computer boot normally. This process is called a PRAM reset and although it is not needed often, it does fix lots of minor hardware issues which may be happening. Hope that helps!
