3 status lights flash rapidly only after unplugging it stop

Whenever I use Airport setup assistant to make changes to my existing setting, and when the base station should be restarted it stops sending a signal and then all three status lights flash rapidly and also simultaneously. This is a replacement base station as the previous had its wan port fried. When it was first plugged in it gave this same problem. Only after plugging out the power chord and waiting for say 1 minute, then plugging it back in did the flashing stop and the base station started sending a signal again. This also occurred during the first set up using airport admin utility. It hasnt happened since (when using admin utility)but continues to happen when I use airport setup assistant. Is it sumthing I should be worried about?

Sounds like your Airport Base Station is operating just fine - I wouldn't worry about it.

Apple TV loses picture output and status light flashes rapidly after 5 minutes hooked up via HDMI - DVI cable

Apple TV connected to a 2005 50" plasma monitor with DVI input via belekin HDMI to DVI cable. Unit worked perfectly long enough to get it connected to the wireless network and begin the itunes registration process when there was a loss of signal message on the screen from the monitor and the Apple TV status light flashed rapidly and continuously. Reset and reboot yeilded flashing rapid status light and no output detected from the monitor. I contacted support online and was told to return the unit to the apple store. I returned home with another brand new apple tv and connected it in the same manner with exactly the same results. Is there something with the HDMI - DVI interface that is causing this? Are there known issues with the HDMI - DVI connection to Apple TV with older plasma monitors?

The Apple TV doesn't actually support DVI. Some have managed to get it to work others have had varying issues with it.

My airport time capsule did not set up successfully, and then status light flash amber

Hi, Guys
I am the first time user of the time capsule, please help how to proceed?
I have set up the first time and my airport time capsule does not set successfully, then I try to reset to factory setting. After this, although I use the ethenet cable to connect the router to the airport, the status light flash amber, always, even after the reset.
Also, I can see that airport time capsule base station from the wireless network when airport is plugged in. However, when I want to access to it.

Thanks for your guidance, but the product is really anoying. First, I am sure that the airpor utilities is 6.3.
and I also follow your instruction that to set the IPv6 as local link mode. But still get the same error as mentioned in my first post.
Therefore, I have tried to use the bridge mode but could not find it, and therefore still can not set it up successfully, even though I reset the factory again(press the reset button 5 secconds at least).

HT204492 If you're using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn't with the remote.

If you’re using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn’t with the remote.
Then what is the problem since I have troubleshoot my remote, it is working but cannot do anything on apple TV?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

I was checking another thing, usually the switches we use here in my work supports a maximum of 14W per port or 15.4w, this wap is consuming 15.2w
Is this the problem??
the strange to me is that,in this same sw I have several WAP and they all use 12.2w
The device type in sw for WAP usually appears as LAP1131AG-AIR-E-K9 ... but this WAP appears as Ieee PD ...
What problems do you think is it?

AP Express status light flashing amber for no apparent reason, network works fine

AP Express status light flashing amber for no apparent reason, network works fine, any ideas?

It flashes amber when there is some kind of conflict. If the internet is working but the amber light bothers you, airport utility ahould tell you why your airport is reporting a problem.
If airport utility thinks your airport is normal and the amber light bothers you, do a hard reset on the device

Status light flashing

My Apple TV was set up and working fine. I attempted to move it to another TV and now I have a fast flashing status light and no picture. Imoved the device back to the original TV and still have the same problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.

N96 V30.033 Status Light flash

Hi there, I wonder if someone could help me, since the V30 upgrade of the firmware to the N96, the "breathing light" has been renamed to "status light" but it doesn't "double flash" when there is a new notification like a text message or missed call. Is there any way of reinabling this? also I've noticed that the options seem to be inverted. If i click on the status option to toggle on and off that's fine, but if it's set to off, and I choose menu then change, in bring a little table up where you can choose on or off, but when it's set to on, the radio button is in the off selection and vista versa, could this be another bug?
hope someone can help!
dave

hmm it could be possilbe that it is in two parts now and you could also have the notification light option and events that you want your phone to notify you of. i am not sure tho as i do not have this particular phone
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Xserve will not boot up, all lights flash rapidly

Just bought a lightly used Intel Xserve. This unit was in a business that failed, and was set up, but never used. Was powered off and unplugged for approximately 18 months. When we tried to plug it up to check it out & configure it, we noticed the following:
System will not post and won't boot
Hard drives do not appear to spin
CD Drive appears to have no power - will not grab disk
All fans do work, and run on high RPM
All lights on back of server and front of server, as well as next to SDRAM slots, and on back of main board flash / flicker (regular quick flashes, no pattern evident). The only light that does NOT come on at all is the light next to the power button.
Anyone heard of a similar condition? Is this server toast?
Thanks,
Rob Hogan

I'm sorry to say I don't have a solution, but I can commiserate.
I have a G5 and two G4's, and so far within a few days / couple of weeks of getting them home and getting them up and running, they seem to fail.
Usually spectacularily.
The G5 operates very much as yours in that power on, fans rev high, and no post or other activity; I don't get any system light status action however other than flashing. I've replaced CPU's and logic board on this.
The single CPU G4's does much the same, but this I've had up and running and then it went down when I upgraded the memory to max (very careful to make sure it was within Apple spec's), and despite swappinbg the original memory back in,nothing.
My latest, a dual core G4, was bought in working order, and I upgraded this from 10.4 to 10.5. Running nicely as a internet gateway. Went away for weekend so put it into sleep mode. Came back, power button on front panel stopped working, and one of the raid slices on the system drive failed.
Tried to repair this and system now no longer boots, but freezes on loading OS (spinning disc stops in mid spin) and it will not boot from installation disc via firewire or internal DVD drive (swapped in a replacement to ensure it works). The installation disc stops at the apple splash screen, but goes no further.
I can, helpfully, get into Open Firmware mode, so something is working on some level. Sadly, I can't seem to find a copy of the Apple Hardware Test for this machine (see my post on this) to check it out.
I can tell you that I'm getting very adept at working with Xserve hardware, if not very effectively.
My working hypothesis on this is that there is some issue with these units being used 27/7x365 for however long, and then being left 'off' for a prolonged period.
Thinking that whilst they are designed to operate reliably as constantly on and working under load, so facet of being 'off' breaks 'something'.
If really pushed to go out on a limb, I'd theorise that under load the electronics/IC's settle into position, but then when switched off things cool down, contract, and causes weaknesses in electrical connections to occur. When next used, these then start to fail, giving a pattern of initial operability followed by delayed failure with a cascade of increasingly servere symptoms until terminal failure is reached.
But that is wild, uneducated, conjecture.
So, no help, but I comiserate.
XD Andy
btw, is anyone has some useful advice for me on where to find the AHT 2.0.1 for Xserve or even just the part number ... ... ...

Web Banner with Video: How to start a flash animation ONLY after .flv is finished loading.

Hi,
I am making a 10 sec. web banner and am required to use a video that is on an external server. I had no problem getting the video file converted, uploaded to the external server and it is now playing back perfectly after exporting the .swf file.
The problem I am having is that my animations (mostly text items, which are placed very carefully throughout the .flv movie) aren't matching up with the movie's movements (due to the .flv starting later due to streaming – I am assuming).
How would I go about syncing these two things, so that the animations always line up exactly with the video's movements? Something like a preloader would be totally fine. I've also read about 'Cue Points' but they seem to be a little unnecessary for what should be a simple 10 sec. banner.
Also the .flv itself is exactly 10 sec. long, but the banner is 13 sec. long so that the last screen (with the most important information) is shown statically for 3 sec. Should I be doing anything to compensate for this other than simply adding the 3 sec. in the timeline in flash, and letting the .flv restart when the entire .swf starts looping?

use cuepoints in the video to sync your swf movieclips/timelines with your video.

G5 - light flashes 3 times with - but only 1 time without RAM

Hi,
recently I bought a broken Power Mac G5 (M9032LL/A) which won't start anymore,
so now I'm trying to fix it:
When I turn it on the white LED will flash 1 time every 4 seconds while there is no RAM installed.
After installing 2x or 4x KHX3200A/1G (Kingston Hyper X, DDR, 1 GB) the light flashes 3 times. (unfortunately I havn't got any original RAM strips...)
Today I found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2541581&tstart=0
which says:
• 2 Flashes: No RAM is installed or detected.
• 3 Flashes: Incompatible RAM types are installed.
• 4 Flashes: No RAM banks passed memory testing.
• 5 Flashes: No good boot images are detected in the boot ROM (and/or there is a bad
sys config block).
• 6 Flashes: The processor is not usable.
I didn't try the hair dryer trick yet
-> but why is the light flashing once only without any RAM?
Any suggestions?

old comm guy wrote:
"Instead, there is a single tone, and the
computer’s front LED flashes continuously."
-> there is no beep or tone at all...
-> The front LED flashes once every 4 seconds.
What I forgot to mention:
One of the end snap-in bracket holders of the upper/inner RAM-slot is broken...
(was already when I bought it)
However - the stick still fits in perfectly.
