    Default Need MacBook Help!!!!!

    Ok I am soooo in a fit of rage and had to stop myself taking a hammer to my MacBook. I swear its doing it on purpose, Ok so my problem is the WiFi on my MacBook seems to be fed up, it seems to only work when it wants to. When I scan for WiFi networks, my network along with my neighbours show up fine but when I click on mine it just dosn't want to connect unless it wants to, we seem to go days and days with it not connecting to it (even though it shows up) and then all of a sudden it connects for about a day then goes back to not doing. Now I thought oh it must be my Hub not working but its not that because my PS3 is WiFi and picks it up fine all the time. I am sooooo tired of this and sooo want to take a hammer to it, but If I did I wouldn't be able to afford antoher one so I won't...

    Can anyone help or know if there is a fix????

    Thanx

    Standard suggestions

    - Rebuild your preferences applications/utilities/disk_utility. Select your hard drive and press 'repair permissions'. Let it run, then restart.
    - Check to make sure the password is entered properly.
    - Remove the wireless card and reseat it

    If all else fails, take it to the Genuis Bar and see what they have to say.

    Hope it helps.

    Real easy once you find the disk_utility program. Think of it as an enima for your computer. Just cleans things up.

    Yep entered correctly
    Had to ask

    Have no idea how to do this one lol
    I'm not a mac tech but have owned many macs over the years. On my MacBook the wireless card is located under the keyboard. Sometimes it is also located under the battery. There should be instructions some where on how to reseat the wireless card.
