OK, so here's the scoop regarding my Internet conductivity issue after upgrading to Mavericks, followed by a memory upgrade question.
Last night, after upgrading to Mavericks I was showing my WiFi connection but could not connect to the Internet. I tried using Diagnostics and the Assistant, the latter after having deleted the service and inputting information manually. No matter what I did, however, I kept getting a self-assigned IP address. I called my ISP and they told me to call Apple. After work, I did so: 1. Because this was an update, the MacBook was using my key-chain to try to connect, but because the router often changes, the upgraded computer was using old info, and I needed to clear everything out . . . every network I ever joined, and start fresh. 2. After selecting and deleting all services and profiles, I added my WiFi network after finding it in the table of offered networks, putting in the password, and joining. It is now working fine. However, my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook has only 2GB of memory, and can only be upgraded to 4. It is running horribly slowly, from applications loading to response time when typing. There also continue to be some mini-freezes. The Apple rep told me when I upgrade the memory I will achieve a substantial difference. I have a Genus Bar appointment scheduled for tomorrow, at which I originally believed I would be faced with the decision to replace the battery or get a new computer. Now I am thinking of getting the memory upgrade and trying that on for a while. However, and here comes the question: According to my MacBook specs, I've got 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. In the Apple store, the only and only 4 GB memory module listed says "4 GB 1866 MHz DDR3. Is this doable? If not, what can I do? Thanks to all for the suggestions and support.
