4x Orange flash

Hi,
I have a problem with my iPod Shuffle. It won't turn on and when I connect it to the computer it won't recognize it. Nothing happens on the computer. The iPod flashes oranges four times.
I tried to reset the unit with out any luck.
Anyone who knows what is wrong with my iPod? And how to fix it?

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I noticed that myself on the Apple support page but it doesn't make sense since neither Windows nor OSX can see the device.

How do I create an orange flash transition effect using Adobe Premiere CS6?

I am trying to create an orange flash transition effect using Adobe Premiere CS6 with my MAC computer.

Try this:
Add Cross Dissolve, cut and nest
Add a Fast Blur to the nest and tweak as in first screendump
Superimpose orange Color Matte and tweak as in second screendump
Make (fixed) effects into presets for future use.
Good luck.

Red orange flash on startup then black screen

My macbook was working well one second, and thewn the screen went black. I tried rebooting, but i get a quick red/ orange flash on startup and then a solid black screen. The computer still works, I'm listening to music from it as I write this...
Based on what I've read so far, it seems the only solution is connecting an external monitor or paying out about £200.00 to have a motherboard reinstalled?
Has any one got any thing else on how to tackle this problem?
Thans for any advice!

You need a new screen or new GPU depending on what has gone bad. If the motherboard/GPU is bad then you will not be able to use an external monitor. So if you can use an external monitor then it's more likely that the screen is bad.

Airport express works for a few minutes then orange flashing light

I was given an Airport Express as a Christmas gift to stream music to my stereo whilst in the same room. I configured the AX as per the instructions. A green light showed and streaming worked fine for a couple of minutes before cutting out and the light flashing orange.
I reset the AX and tried reconfiguring but I had the same problem. I also tried configuring via ethernet but the same problem occurred again. I don't think it's a bandwidth or signal issue, as although I am a couple of rooms away from the router, my Macbook shows full signal in the same location as the AX.
If it helps I am using a Netgear WGR614 router with WPA personal security. I hope somebody can help.

The "bars" really don't give you an accurate picture of the signal strength, and they tell you nothing about noise.
You might want to download a utility like iStumbler to get a different look at your network and also identify other wireless networks around you that may be contributing to the Wireless Interference that is likely causing your problems.

Constant Purple & Orange Flashing light on BTHH3

We're currently experiencing problems with our line. No internet.
As mentioned on the subject, the light on the Hub3 is constantly flashing purple and orange. On the white Openreach modem, the LED light labeled DSL will blink for a few of seconds, then it stops and moments later, it does the same thing over again. For the record, we also do not have a dial tone on our phone.
This happened about 2-3 days ago, midday. I remember seeing an engineer from some company checking the lines in the house for the Flat opposite ours. That's when our internet got cut off. I didn't suspect him at first until later that day when I went out and saw some cabling exposed(I know those cables are connected to our flat as I saw the previous Openreach engineer checking them when he was fixing our line some 6 months ago). Picture below.
I'm currently tethering using my 3G phone and using the free BTwifi on my laptop which really helps a lot in this kind of situation.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Thanks for replying quickly.
I went to BT fault page and was reading through some information regarding the £99.00 charge if I ask for an engineer to come/visit. Now, from what I have pointed out in my previous post is merely speculation that the engineer I mentioned actually did the damage(I did not see it for myself except for the cabling I found later). Since those cables are within our home, I may be liable for that fee and obviously, I'm not willing to pay for as the problem wasn't caused by me.
Cannot really blame anyone except for that someone who was checking those lines.
Is there a sure way to find out whether I'll be charged or not?

Canon i550 is not working. 7 orange flashing lights

Our Canon i550 stopped working. Green light followed by 7 flashing orange lights. I cleaned out printer head and all ink cartridges are new. I have tried resetting printer and still not working.

Uninstall the device using Canon's instructions. Then assuming you are using a USB connection to connect it to your computer restart the computer in Safe Mode to clear some caches. Then restart the computer normally. Then connect the printer to the computer via USB and turn on the printer. The printer should then be seen in the Print & Scan preferences. If not run Software Update. To scan use Image Capture (it's preloaded on your computer) and scan using the Image Capture tool.
If you still have trouble then follow the instructions in Printing Overview OS X Lion.

Orange flashing light when I put iPod (2nd generation) in dock

I have set iTunes so that it won't start up when I put the iPod in the dock. I thought I could just charge up my iPod without having iTunes open, but when I put the iPod in the dock it just flashes the orange light and I don't think it's charging. The only way it'll be a solid orange light is if I open iTunes and have it "detect" the iPod and then it charges. Or maybe I'm wrong - is it charging when the orange light flashes? I'm confused. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'm having a similar problem but I don't think my
shuffle is charging. I can't ever get the orange
light to be steady no matter the setting. Sometimes
it is blinking orange and other times there isn't a
light at all. I left it in the dock for about 8 hours
today. Once I disconnected it and turned it on the
light was Red and it only lasted about an hour. I
just bought this 2 days ago...any ideas?
IF the status LED is NOT lit when your Shuffle is
in the dock and the dock is connected to a USB port,
it CAN'T charge because the connection doesn't carry sufficient power.
Make sure the Shuffle is firmly seated in the dock AND
the USB connector is firmly in a high-power (500MA) USB port AND the computer is NOT asleep. Orange LED (so;id or flashing) indicates a good connection and that it's charging.

Hold on... Alternating green and orange for 2 seconds means there's no playable music on it. Alternating green and TWO orange for 10 seconds means that it has to be restored. WHICH light pattern are you referring to?
What do you mean it's not recognised in iTunes? Does it NOT show up in the left most (Sources) panel?

AX Orange Flashing Light--different, but the same

Okay so I am only trying to use the AX for Airtunes. I plugged an audio cable in, then the 2 RCA's to the input on my receiver and I plugged the AX in. (I tried it in every order so that can't be it) The first flash is green but then it goes to a solid amber then a flashing amber. I have tried it on a normal stereo; same result. It cant be the signal strength because I've got a full signal in my room. And can someone also tell me why I cant install the AiportUpdate2006001 file?

Did you plug it into a REAL USB port (as opposed to the USB "convenience" port) on the keyboard? Take a look at what Apple System Profiler says about the USB tree when the Shuffle is plugged in.

Orange Flashing light, ipod is recongnized

Alright I have had my ipod for about 10-11 months now, and just in the past couple days it has started acting up. When I plug in my ipod shuffle, it shows up in itunes saying that "Updating ipod, do not disconnect" and then it goes on to say "ipod update is complete". It's like my shuffle is updated but not completley. I think it happened after i downloaded the latest itunes software but then got it to work briefly after i downloaded the latest ipod updater. I don't know what to do.

Well I did what B Noir had to say here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2665631#2665631
and now I can put songs on my shuffle, take them off and the update process completes so I can safely remove my shuffle from my computer but I still can't turn my ipod on dispite it be fully charged.

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

Home hub 3 broadband light flashing orange & purpl...

Hi,
Broadband has stopped working with a flashing orange & purple broadband light (7 days and counting)
Have phoned bt but they failed to resolve the issue over phone - resetting, power off/on etc. Tried 4 different branded adsl filters, alternative router but still no connection. Only 1 main socket, no extensions connected, doesn't have a test facility(older style socket). Tried 17070 quiet line test - sounds clear. Phone line test reports zero faults.

I suspect the issue is at the exchange, has bt disconnected me and plugged someone else in? Any thoughts welcome.

you appear to have tried everything suggested by BT for purple/orange flashing constantly and not solved the problem. the help pages then say if that has failed then contact technical support but I would contact the forum mods instead for help
contact mods
can take up to 3 working days for mods to contact you

Flashing Orange Light

Hi, currently having problems with my BT Home Hub 2.0.
Everything has worked fine the last 12 months but over the last week my internet connection has dropped and the orange flashing light has flashed then reconnected (blue) a minute or two later, which happens every 10-15 minutes, more frequent when using XBL.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Flashing grean and orange light

i charged my new ipod shuffle over night and when i went to get it this morning i pressed play and it flashed green then orange then green then orange and it did that about 4 tiems before it stopped .. with no music playing or anything ... what should i do?

I keep getting the flashing orange and green light
then when i press and hold on the play button i only
get a constant orange light ! I have tried resetting,
restoring everything but i still getthesame message !
I am trying to sync from windows media player - does
anyone know how I can export this music onto itunes
????Please help !!!!
Import it into iTunes or burn it to CD as mp3 and Import/Add to iTunes library...
Regarding the lights: green and orange flashing sequence means you have NO playable music on your Shuffle.
Pressing and holding PLAY locks the Shuffles controls, signified by the orange light.
Have you read the manual?
