Airport Express shutting down by itself

My AirPort Express is still shutting down by itself after using it for a while! I get a connection from my MacBook Pro for a while (green light), afterwards the LED is yellow and my Mac can not find the AirPort station anymore. So I restart the AirPort Express every time by switching it off. After this procedure it works for a while. Also restarts with the restart button do not help. The firmware is the new one; also the Mac has the latest version of OS.
Please help - Thanks!

So, the restart takes about 40 to 60 secounds. After restarting, the green lamp appears for few minutes and then restarting again (yellow lamp) and so on and so on. When I take the station off from electricity for a while the green period takes longer.
Generally, the same problem appeared a couple of month ago, after playing around (I can't remember what) the station worked again, until I changed the place two days ago with disconnecting from power.
So, maybe it's a software problem?

  • Airport express shuts down after december update firmware

    can anyone advise me on AEXpress which shuts down very soon after powering up, all since i upgraded firmware earlier in december? this is a replacement model which i got new in summer 2010...out of warranty now. it was fine on XP as client mode connecting wirelessly to Linksys WRT160N router; since upgrade, the airport express shows green light for 2 seconds; then amber for 1 minute; then no light at all. sometimes i plug it in and no lights appear at all. i doubt it's hardware as it followed the software update immediately. Should I somehow try to reinstall the previous software? but don't know how to do that since it won't stay powered on and doesn't show on airport utility. thanks, pdoyle

    Your best option is going to be to try to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express to see if that will clear up the difficulties. If this is successful, you could rollback the firmware to an earlier version or reconfigure the device again with the current version of firmware.
    o Power down the Express for at least 20 minutes
    o Hold in the reset button and keep holding the reset button in as you plug the Express back in to power
    o Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light blink more quickly. Hold another 3-4 seconds when you see this and release the reset button.
    With luck, the Express has now been returned to default settings so you can try to reconfigure it again.
    If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and the Express is still having difficulties, I'm afraid there's been an internal failure within the device and it will need to be replaced.

  • Airport Utility Express shutting down and ip addresses

    Just this last week all of a sudden my internet connection starts and drops off randomly. Not only do you have to unplug both it and the router it only stays connected with a green light for a short period of time.
    As well, we have had for the past year, my MacBook, an Acer NetBook, my iPhone and iTouch all using the Airport Utility Express. The Acer NetBook had been used in another location for about 2 weeks, when it came back to this location all of a sudden the Airport Utility automatically changes it's IP address to match my MacBook and generates the following error message: Another device on the network is using your computers ip address 10.0.1.3. Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems, change the ip address of this computer or the ip address of the other device. Contact the network administrator if you need more information. Does anyone know how to change the ip addresses? I understand that this is one of the reasons why the airport utility shuts down but now it is shutting down when only one computer is being used as well.
    Thank you for your ideas and thoughts

    To minimize confusion, first let's be straight on terminology.  "AirPort Utility" is a software program.  You seem to have an "AirPort Express", not an "AirPort Utility Express".
    When you say "the AirPort Utility (presumably the AirPort Express) changes its IP address to match my MacBook", how do you know that?
    It's not AirPort Utility or AirPort Express that "generates the following error message: Another device on the network is using your computers ip address 10.0.1.3."  That message has to be coming from the networking software in OS X on your MacBook.
    I doubt that this IP address conflict is causing your AirPort Express to shut down.  What exactly happens that you describe as that?
    Is that Acer Netbook configured to configure its network settings using DHCP?  If it's configured to use a static IP address, that could explain what you're seeing.  If you're not sure how to check that, I won't be able to help you figure it out, as I don't know much about Windows.  However, I'd start by looking in the Settings/Control Panels for something involving networking.

  • After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot  turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available

    My Iphone 4s  shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?

    On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

  • SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself

    Hello Gurus
    A few SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself and this is happening
    for systems which have a version 4.6c and 4.5B in our landscape like PCX.. Analyzing the log of one of this agents the
    message below is informed:
    Mon May 9 04:41:10 2011
    CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: no permission to
    read /usr/sap/PCX/SYS/profile/PCX_G34_zonepcx
    CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: Please check sapccmsr.ini
    I tried to find the profile mentioned in the warning but with no
    succes. The cause of the shutdown of the agent is that because the
    correct profile is PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx instead of PCX_G34_zonepcx but
    why it is looking for the wrong one when everything is configured with
    the profile PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx . I also checked sapccmsr.ini but
    found nothing.
    I  can start the agent normally choosing the correct parameter
    (PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx) but sometimes the agent shutdown by itself
    after 3-4 days with the error message above.
    Why the agent search for the wrong profile and where can I change it to
    the right profile ?
    Or is there any other way to resolve it.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ashwini

    Thank you Mani, I will make this test in only one appl server and monitor.
    I will let you know the resul of my tests.

  • Why my 2009 desktop with OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself

    Why my 2009 desktop using OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself?

    When it shuts down, the screen blanks (more like turns grey, like the color of the background when on the log in screen). It reboots immediately, so at first the problem was presumed to be restarting, not shutting down and powering back on. The computer is usually very warm, and definitely gets hot easily. A test was run determine when the fan would turn on to start cooling the computer by running digits of Pi, and the tester concluded it was too close within the safe temperatures before it would permanently affect the computer. (I believe this was within 5ºF, but I am not 100% sure.) The times when it will turn off and reboot do not seem coorelated with much if anything. It has done this at multiple times, among running varying amounts of programs and for different lengths of time: right after logging into the user, within a minute of after it has turned off and rebooted, within 5 minutes, 10, 30, even 60 minutes of turning off and rebooting, when only running one program such as Firefox, when running various programs such as Firefox, iTunes, Microsoft Word, Sticky Notes....
    Basically, it makes no sense.

    SathThere is but a more important question is why does it quit every few days. Solve that problem and you'll be more ahead than with the solution you asked or originally.
    You can put the program on a timer and have ti launch every so often; you'll have to have it check to see if it's in memory when you do and if it is, then close the launcher and just let the previous running instance continue.

I have to press and hold the wake/sleep button with the Home key at the same time for it to start. It works for a while, but then it happens again. Can anyone help? Appreciate it much.

    Hello there gilcelis99.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • MBP shutting down by itself

    Help!
    I don't know why my MBP shuts down by itself,
    the first time it happened was when i was burning something from idvd
    then it happened again when I was just typing something, then again when I was just surfing. Then when i tried to turn it on, it went off again..then finally it is working now.
    Is it possible this is happening because of the replacement batteries? i bought my MBP last february when it went out, so it is part of the battery recall. right now im using the replacement. what should i do?
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It's not the battery. Many of the Mac Books have a far more serious problem with their internal hardware.
    The first thing i suggest is repair your permissions.
    Secondly, make sure you have updated firmware.
    Thirdly, try reseating your ram.
    Last, alert Applecare. Tell them your problem, and the steps you have taken.
    It is likely that you will need to:
    a.) have your logic board replaced (it will take about a week, including shipping)
    or b.) need a replacement.
    I just went through all of this. If you want me to walk you through anything, just let me know.
