Amber flashing light pls help

Hi, I had this problem when I first got my airport express. Apple tech support talked me through something involving hooking up an ethernet cable to send the aex an address or something. As I recall, it worked but I was amazed and told them I'd have never figured that out myself. The guy said yeah that is beyond what we'd expect the consumer to know. I do not remember the steps. Does anyone have a clue what was done and how can I repeat the process? I'm no longer covered by telephone support for the airport express. I am trying to get it to do itunes again.

I assume you are trying to configure your Airport Express to "join" the wireless network created by your Asante wireless router? If so, follow the advice posted here by David Lovell (which applies equally to Macs and PCs):

Amber Flashing Light

For some time now, I think since I started streaming video files to my Apple TV, my Time Capsule flashes amber all the time. I have looked this up in the setup guide and all around the Apple website, but can't find a good reason for this. The Setup Guide tells me that it means it can't connect to the wireless network. The thing is, I have had no problems with my internet connection and I have been able to successfully use the Time Capsule to to Time Machine backups on two machines wirelessly.
Basically, the amber light it telling me something is wrong, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Does anyone have any idea what it is trying to tell me or if I should just ignore it.
Thanks in adance

From +Airport Utility's+ Help for +Solving AirPort problems > What does the flashing light mean?:+
For information about the reason the light flashes amber, open +AirPort Utility+, select your device, and then choose +Manual Setup+ from the +Base Station+ menu. Enter the password if necessary, and then click +Base Station Status+ to display information about the flashing light.

I have amber flashing light on the airport

I have attemped to resolve an issue with an amber light flashing on the Airport Time capsule & in utilities which also shows a number1 in a red circle

Can you provide a bit more detail about what you have attempted and what the results were......so we can avoid asking you to do things that you have already done?
If you can....list the steps that you have taken....and then what happened after each step.
It would also be helpful if we knew what version of AirPort Utility that you were using. If you are not sure, open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About AirPort Utility. Please post back with the version number that you see there.

Get an amber flashing light wherever I connect

I just purchased an airport express, my home set up is a bt 2wire router...thing(?) which goes into a d-link switch this then goes out to the other computers in the house via ethernet cables, although the 2wire151 is wireless the room I want to use my macbook in is too far away from it. I wanted to use the airport express to take in the home network via ethernet and send it out wirelessly...(if that makes sense) I connected the airport express directly to the 2wire151 via the ethernet cable that leaves it and normally enters the d-link and it flashed amber I had previously tried connecting it to one of the cables that comes out of the d-link upstairs with the same result, wherever I connect the express on the network it still flashes amber!...but if I plug my macbook into the same cables it connects to the internet perfectly!
any help would be great

This procedure shouldn't be necessary with a new out-of-the-box Airport Express, but try following the hard reset procedure described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
If after connecting the Airport Express to your network it still flashes amber, I would suggest you return it for a replacement. The troubleshooting steps you have taken so far certainly convince me that your own network and the cable you are using is not at fault.

I think I found a fix for Yellow/Amber Flashing Lights!

A friend of mine had an Ipod shuffle and it was flashing yellow and amber. I went home and restored it, which didn't seem to do anything. I gave it to him, and he plugged it into his computer. He was greeted by the thing that asks you if you want to delete your music or somthing because it had foreign music. He pressed, no which brought him to his library. He unplugged his Ipod, and sure enough, It Worked!
I do not no if this will work with everyones ipod.
I just want to help other people with this problem.
Thanks ---Mason

Well, I was still showing them after 10.5.2, I'm not sure if this was the case for everybody. I wonder if anyone out there still see the warnings. Ahh, sorry I meant warning not errors.
The only one I had was for the remote desktop and that disappeared with 10.5.2
I also installed 10.5.1 combo update and that took out all but the remote desktop warning.
If you have others, then be careful how you fix them.
Most of us have gotten rid of all of them using the combo updates.
Now, if only it wouldn't take 5 minutes to verify permissions ..
See if you can come up with a fix for that

Not Booting, quick red flashing light PLEASE HELP.

Okay so today i swapped from a 7130e to a 8330 (verizon)
i was able to remove the old security Policy using Jl_Cmder (which worked great) and i got rid of the firewall issue as well.

Amber flashing light on express after setting up WPA security on bebox

Hi,
I have an airport express hooked up to my hifi downstairs , which was working fine. MY imac was linked into an unsecured Bebox wireless broadband.
I then secured my network using the 192 website address (WPA key I think) and that now works fine for my imac and my girlfriends pc laptop.
I have however seemed to sever the link for my express after doing so.
I looked on the 192. page for somewhere to allow the device into the loop (i can see the device in the list of devices - i just can't seem to do anything with it !!).
I also hit the reset button on the express but no diff.
I would also like to create an airport base station as my link to my imac upstairs and link that to the bebox downstairs (the broadband signal is weak downstairs, as the bebox is right next to the imac - upstairs).
Any great ideas on how to resolve the two or even just to get the get the link back ?
P

an addendum to this.
i thought i had cracked at least the airtunes to my speakers component.
i ran factory default to the airport express and then went to airport set up manager and and the express was "seen" by my system - I then connected the express into my wireless system.
The light went green on the express (it still is) and i could see the remote speakers in itunes. Done !!
However, I came back to my itunes 10 minutes later and my remote speakers were missing from itunes but the express was still green.
The express is along way from the bebox modem I use (2 flights up) - could this be it ?
Any ideas ?
I would ideally like to set up a system as follows - express attached to sound system downstairs to play music and which is also an extended part of wireless network, be box in middle of house as adsl modem connection and airport extreme base station upstairs with my imac. Is it possible or is bebox not compatible with all this ?

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,
Alex H.

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?

anyone, pls help - my ipad is not opening, only apple logo is flashing on and off... pls help

Have you tried rebooting your iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not work, you can try restoring your iPad iOS Software.

Make sure that you read the article all the way through and pay attention to the last part that talks about using recovery mode.

HT202118 my 3rd generation apple tv will not come on just a white flashing light my first generation one is working fine? tried unplugging it nothing, any help is much appreciated.

my 3rd Generation Apple TV will not come just a white flashing light i tried unplugging it for 30 seconds nothing tried the menu button and down arrow that did help as well and suggestion? Thank you I'm not very tech savvy.

Click on the blue link I gave. You would need to hook it to a computer running iTunes using a microUSB lead.
If you have an Apple Store nearby take it there and see if they can sort it out.
It is possible the display resolution is wrong - you could try holding menu and up arrow on remote together for 6 seconds which will make it cycle display resolutions - but only if it is actually working but showing a black screen due to wrong resolution selected.
