I am unable to connect to the internet on my laptop. When I try clicking on the airport icon, I keep getting the message ‘No Airport Installed’.
How do I correct this issue?
Thanks.

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds perhaps after reboot will detect your Airport Card.
First try a Parameter RAM reset:
Restart your Mac and immediately press and hold "cmd + alt + P + R" on your keyboard until you heard the 'gong' for the third time. Let go of the keys and boot up normally.
Other options:
(a) open up System Preferences, go to Network and at the top click the drop-down menu and create a new location
(b) force a re-detection of the hardware via Terminal.app
open up a Terminal window, type & run the following command:
/usr/sbin/networksetup -detectnewhardware
(c) delete the following preferences file containing network hardware information then restart your system
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
If all these things fail you could try re-installing OS X, run the Apple Hardware Diagnostics and finally go to an Apple authorized service provider and have them look for the actual cause.
