Since Snow Leopard Unable to turn off Airport on MBP

Hi folks,

I've been pretty much in the background with this problem, i had the same issue BUT I COULDNT CONNECT FULL STOP! To ANY network! I was at the end of the teather and about to pay the £35 JUST TO SPEAK TO AN APPLE EXPERT! (What a joke!) I echo what people have said about this community, it is a life saver!! seeing as it's a nightmare to speak to anyone with any apple knowledge!! I just feel sorry for the people with this problem who don't know of this amazing community, with such a simple solution Apple had better hurry up with a solution!!

Did creating a new location and then deleting the older location work for any of you guys ?

Raphouille,
Did you try deleting your current Location and then recreating a new one ?

I had the same problem as the people here described. In my case I was unable to switch on the airport. What helped for me as a workaround was creating a new location/environment and there adding the wireless network once more. Worked like a charm, although it is somewhat of a workaround. 🙂

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I noticed the problem with my iMac when all of a sudden I had no WiFi connectivity. I thought I had tried just about everything. Then, I created a new location (called it "Home"), and voila! The Airport connected and started working right away.

Thanks again! I hope I can pay this favor back someday.

I had the same problem but I fixed it. Here is the solution:
delete the following files:
1- com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
2- NetworkInterfaces.plist
3- preferences.plist

from the folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

and then restart ... problem solved !!

I tried that myself and I am able to turn on and off the AirPort whenever I want.

Since Apple didn't solve the problem yet ... I did my research and found that solution from another website.

Enjoy your Mac folks !!

Thank you, this works & is so easy.
