1 Gen Shuffle front orange light not working but all else does - ideas??

The front L.E.D. (light) will not glow orange when charging and will not flash (blink) when downloading songs. The rear light (below the on/off switch) does work correctly. The green L.E.D. works properly and the iPod functions correctly in all other respects.
I have used the iPod on both a Mac iBook G4 and a Windows laptop quite successfully since I purchased it 195 days (6 1/2) months ago.
Am using iTunes 7.0.2 and iPod software version 1.1.4
This is a 512mb iPod Shuffle.
Any ideas and help much appreciated!

You could probably get it replaced under warranty, and that would be a good solution. It will work fine without it (and no sort of a software fix is going to make it work, in all likelihood), but the amber light does provide some fairly important indications and warnings that you'd do better to have available.

    and gps navigation is not proper..can u help me
    thanks in advance

    Sorry but I dont have a solution. I do however have a similar problem in that my microphone has stopped working since upgrading. Well at least it doesnt work when making calls, voice memos or skype calls. I have to speak directly into the mic for the person I am talking to, to hear me - and even then it is very feint. I dont think its a hardware problem as when I record video the sound it perfect. Although I have seen that some believe the video recording used the noise cancellation mic. But, I downloaded an app which is used to measure sound power which I confirmed that the bottom mic is working properly.
    So this post is to add my voice to your concern really.
    The worst part is, I did not save a SHSH blob to be able to downgrade to 5.1.1 so im kinda stuck.

  • I have a nano 5th generation and buttons do not work but click wheel does

    My buttons often do not work. Until today, if I toggled the move button I could get it to work after 3-4 minutes of trying. I restored the  nano 1 hour ago. It turned on to teh menu, I moved to shuffle and selected that. SOngs are playing. But now none of the buttons work. Battery is charged, I toggle the hold switch, nothing helps. If I press the play-pause, the screen will light up for a few seconds. But that is all I can do. I can't go to the menu, go forward or reverse. I can't reset by pressing menu and select.
    The only way I can stop the music is to plug it in with iTunes open - sync starts - music stops. But when I disconnect it after ejecting, it still is on - menu screen.
    Is the nano toast?

  • Orange light keeps flashing - but all seems to be OK!

    HI,
    just got an Airport Extreme Basestation and I set it up with no trouble and everything (for now the internet...have to check the printers and drives soon) runs OK. So why is the orange light still flashing? It says in the manual that it has no connection to the network - but then I shouldn´t have internet access...?
    Also - how can I check if I have the fastest setting on my Airport station. I´m in Germany and the fastest n-version is - as far as I known - not allowed because of interference and some stuff. I´m afraid that when I have choosen Germany in the station-setup that it gave me the "weak" setting. Which setting / channel is he fastest?
    Thanks in advance

    So why is the orange light still flashing?
    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of several potential conditions may require your attention:
    - The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    - You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    - One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    Also - how can I check if I have the fastest setting on my Airport station.
    Theoretically, the "802.11n only (5 GHz)" radio mode would provide the best throughput performance. Of course, all wireless devices connected would have to support this mode to not cause any throughput degradation. The next best would be "802.11n only (2.4 GHz)."

  • My wireless key board does not work but wireless mouse does?

    I can not get my wireless keyboard to work again after i changed the batteries, It work sonewhat before I chaged the batteries but don't work at all now. I tried removing the thing pluged into the usb port and i pushed the connect button on the bittom of keyboard but nothing works. The wireless mouse works fine. What could be wrong?

    Not sure which KB you have, but I'd check a few things.
    1) You might have a dead battery or two - perhaps try batteries known to be working in another device, such as a TV remote control.
    2) The KB shouldn't need to be re-synced just via a battery change.   However, if you do resync - you might need to hold the sync button longer.   On my TouchSmart IQ804, I usually push mine about 10 seconds or so.   I can pull the USB tranceiver out of the back of the unit and put it in the side/front port, that way I can watch the LED that indicates sync/transfer better.
    I know that there are some good wireless KB troubleshooting documents on the HP website - here is a link to one of them.

  • Usb 2.0 not working but 1.1 does??? help me

    I just got a new 80gig 5g and it works fine when connected to usb 1.1 but I just bought a new usb 2.0 card and when I connect it to it it doesn't recognize the ipod but the card is working just not with 2.0 devices any ideas? tried updating drivers but the ones i got didn't help.
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem. The iPod would connect but would not sync and sometimes would not be recognized by iTunes then drop from Explorer. After several frustrating days I ran across a post about Toshiba laptops not working with iPod using USB 2.0. USB 1.1 works like a charm... but is slow.
    Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated!

  • Guest access on E2500 not working but everything else is fine.

    HI.. I  did not use the CD to set up,  and instead set this router up manually. We are using this router right now as a hotspot only.. and all is good. I can see both new networks and the WIFI laptops are talking  no problem. Only  issue I have  is that guest access is not working - by that I mean it can't get out on the internet. I can see it as available and connect to it. Guest access and SSID broadcast are both enabled obviously.
    Is there something special guests have to type into a browser? Or did I need to use the CD? (I read on a google search that cisco connect on the CD must be used?)  Any help very much appreciated!

    Really appreciate your help with this. I am a bit of a novice here.. but.. After some more searching on this issue I notice your comments (cut/pasted  below)  with respect to this router and bridging mode. You mentioned that I should update my firmware on this router and that this would (if I am interpreting your reply correctly) facilitate my LAN to LAN connection and of course using this router simply as an access point and more to the point -  having the use of the guest network. So my question is even if I did update firmware,  seems I would still require 3rd party software to make this work? (re your last sentence in your comments below)  Just need to understand the process and determine whether or not it is worth it (or maybe I should upgrade the router) but I don't want to change the configs of the network wired router at this time... and need to use the E2500 or facsimile as  simply an access point with  guest network functionality,  Thanks much appreciated.
    "Again: some E series routers already support wired bridging in firmware, i.e. to use the router as simple access point.
    This is and was always possible using a LAN-LAN setup instead.
    The problem with the LAN-LAN setup is, however, that you have some limitations accessing the network storage or network printer, e.g. the router doesn't have the correct time and you cannot access the storage from remote using port forwarding through your main router.
    These limitations have been overcome with the wired bridge mode (internet connection type = bridge mode).
    But again: this has absolutely nothing to do with wireless bridging. That's something completely different and is not supported on Linksys routers in any firmware version so far.

    }this program create a GUI containing a "add ball" button to creat a ball and make it bounce inside the window. ( this seems to be stupid example but it is just an example of why we should use Thread for the purpose ).
    Note: in the move() method, if i use canvas.repaint() then the ball is not redrawn after each movement. but if i use canvas.paint(canvas.getGraphics()) then everythings seem to be OK.
    Another question: Still the above programe, but If I create the ball and let it bounce in a separate thread, then canvas.repaint() in the move method work OK.
    Any one can tell me why? Thanks alot !!!

    I don't know why the one method works. Based on my Swing knowledge neither method should work. Did you notice that the JButton wasn't repainted until after the ball stopped bouncing. That is because of the following code:
    for (int i = 1; i <= 1000; i++)
        b.move();
        Thread.sleep(5);
    }This code is attempting to move the ball and then sleep for 5 milliseconds. The problem with this code is that you are telling the Event Thread to sleep. Normally painting events are added to the end of the Event Thread to allow for multiple painting requests to be combined into one for painting efficiency. When you tell the Thread to sleep then the GUI doesn't get a chance to repaint itself.
    More details about the EventThread can be found in the Swing tutorial:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html
    This explains why the button isn't repainted, but it doesn't explain why the ball bounces. I don't know the answer to this for sure, but I do know that there is a method called paintImmediately(...) which causes the painting to be performed immediately without being added to the end of the Event Thread. This means the painting can be done before the Thread sleeps. Maybe the canvas.paint(....) is somehow invoking this method.
    When you click on the button this code is executed in the EvWell in Swing, all GUI painting is done on the Event Thread

  • Contacts not syncing, but everything else does

    hmm. after the initial setup of my iphone4 all my contacts on my mac were copied over. however, now my contact don't sync at all (either way), but my cal and everything else does sync. In itunes i have the sync address book contacts button selected and also made sure it sync all All Contacts.
    Is there something in my Address Book on my mac i need to authorize the sync?

    I have a very similar problem. The first time I plugged iPhone 4 in with USB, it copied only a handful of "contacts" that I previously added via iChat on the MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.4), and ignored hundreds of real contacts that I needed on the phone. Earlier than this, iPhone took a contact from LDAP; at that point, I checked on MacBook. That contact was removed from LDAP for unknown reasons, even though it remained on iPhone.
    Then, I tried and tried and tried. Nothing happened - at least nothing appeared to happen. At the same time, I had been trying to get MacBook to sync contacts with gMail and other Google apps with no luck. However many times I tried to configure and reconfigure gMail sync, a ring icon appeared for a brief period of time but nothing would happen on the Google side. Some time after I stopped trying, however, the bunch of "Contacts from My MAC" magically appeared on iPhone, as well as in Google. The contact that iPhone previously got from LDAP now disappeared at this point.
    But then, when I started to make changes, sync did not appear to happen. Is there a preset timer for sync?

  • Bt sport not working but all Internet channels ok
