Continued Computer Issues
While I thought my Wifi problems were resolved, apparently this isn't so. I've even tried an external USB unit, but it wasn't compatible. My Macbook Pro is a late 2009 model running the latest operating system, so options seem to be few. As things stand, I can only get online when I can connect through a cable, so that is very limiting. I'm trying out an app for my iPad in hopes of keeping up with reading and posting. I could try replacing the Wifi card, but the repairman thinks it is a failing motherboard. I've enjoyed seven years of fast, efficient, and trouble-free computing. I've only just now had to replace the battery for the first time. I guess I shouldn't complain, but that song "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" from My Fair Lady is running through my head. :)

My last MacBook Pro lasted seven years. Dave saw how frustrated I was trying to connect to the Internet, so he bought me a new one. I still have a slow connection (according to my daughters), but I feel like I connect at lightning speed now. I know that part of our problem is that we live in a rural area and connecting can be spotty.
Oh, and the biggest plus to my new computer... it's much lighter!
Good luck! We are generally so lucky with Macs that when things turn south we don't know what to do! Wonder how old my MacBook Pro is....
Hope you get this sorted, it seems that computer problems are worldwide
Thanks for the support, my friends. At least I can connect to the internet with a cable, it's just limiting in terms of when and where I can work. I've also been experiencing some frozen screens which is almost unheard of in a Mac. It's probably the motherboard. I'm just hoping it will hold up for a few more months before it has to be replaced. First priority for internet time has to be getting things done for my employer. I still work a few hours each week from home--the perfect semi-retirement.
