Mar 24, 2015 7:02 AM in response to nickfromwestfieldby brenden dv,Hi nickfromwestfield,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Air. If you are having issues with your WiFi connection when using your USB 3.0 external hard drive, you may find this note in the following article helpful:
I sometimes have difficulty with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices when USB 3 devices are attached to my computer. What could be wrong?
Some USB 3 devices, hard drives in particular, can generate radio frequency interference that can cause Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices operating in the 2.4GHz band to have issues communicating with your computer. Do not place hard drives or other USB devices behind the rear of your Mac near at the hinge of your screen. The antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are located there, and USB 3 devices placed there may interfere with your wireless connections. See this white paper for more information.
