Troubleshooting

 Make sure you are within antenna range of the other computer or the network’s

access point. Nearby electronic devices or metal structures can interfere with wireless

communication and reduce this range. Repositioning or rotating the computer may

improve reception.

 Check the AirPort signal level. There are up to four bars in the AirPort status icon in

the menu bar.

 Make sure nothing is placed on top of your computer. Objects on top of the

computer may interfere with the AirPort signal.

 You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven, cordless

phone, or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station. To

minimize interference, move the base station away from the device.

 For more information on using and troubleshooting AirPort, choose Help > Mac Help,

then choose Library > AirPort Help.

If you have trouble ejecting a disc
 Quit any applications that may be using the disc and press the Media Eject key (C) on

your Apple Keyboard. On other keyboards, you may be able to use a key combination

to eject discs. Check the documentation that came with your keyboard.

 If that doesn’t work, open a Finder window and click the eject icon next to the disc

icon in the Sidebar, or drag the disc’s icon from the desktop to the Trash.

 Make sure nothing is placed on top of your computer. Objects placed on top of the

computer may keep a disc from ejecting.

 If that doesn’t work, restart the computer while holding down the mouse button.
