Airport express not working (flashing amber light)

I just bought an airport express and have spent days trying to set it up with my Cable modem. I use Time Warners roadrunner as my service provider and know that the cable modem is not the problem because the internet works fine when I hook my mac laptop directly up to the modem via ethernet cable. Originally when I first plugged in the airport express base station I only received the flashing amber light. I have tried unplugging the modem and plugging it back in multiple times, but I continuously get the flashing amber light on the airport base station. My modem however recognizes the airport and is flashing the light that signals that it is linked to a computer.
My computer recognizes the airport, I get a strong signal and the airport utility says that everything is ok but the light on the base station flashes amber and the Internet wont work. Originally I had it set to Connect Using: Ethernet and Configure TCP/IP: DHCP and the light flashed amber so I started messing around with the settings. I changed it to Configure TCP/IP: PPPoE but was not sure what my login and password would be so I used my account information for roadrunner and to my surprise the light stopped flashing amber and turned green. I thought my problem was miraculously solved but the Internet still wouldn’t work, it kept trying to connect to the PPOE server with no luck. I had never expected the wireless to work under the PPOE setting so I was very surprised that the light turned green rather than amber. This is very confusing to me so I put the configure setting back to Ethernet rather than PPPoE and the light started flashing amber again. I have put the airport back to its default settings many times and tried starting over, but I still get the amber light.
I have run out of things to try and do not know a whole lot about wireless Internet so any help would be useful. I know of other people that have set up their airport express with very little hassle and knowledge of computers, so I thought this was going to be an easy process, apparently I was very wrong.

Roadrunner's cable internet service uses DHCP and not PPPoE - so the first thing you need to do is change that configuration back to DHCP on your Airport Express.
Then unplug both the cable modem and Airport Express from power for a while - the longer the better. Try five minutes, and if that doesn't work then try all day or overnight. After you get tired waiting, plug the modem back into power and wait a minute. Then plug the Airport Express into power - and hopefully by now Roadrunner's connection will have been reset and the Airport Express will be able to establish a connection, get an IP address, and show you the solid green status light.

James,
Thank you for the information. I did what you said but it is still not working. My apple box works with my wifi so I think the wife was disconnected and I can't figure out where to go to set up the wifi pass word for the apple box. Any hits would be appreciated if not my next step is to ship back the box to apple.
Thanks,
Marta

Thanks for you response! I have had it for about 5-6 years ... don't know if that is "vintage" or not. I just got back from our local Geneis Bar and they declared it "DOA." So, I've got a new one and getting ready to install. Thanks, again!

Apple tv not working just showing apple icon on tv screen

apple tv not working tv screen just showing the apple icon

Hi spirogro!
I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your Apple TV:
Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
If you can see a picture but Apple TV isn't responding
Note: If the Apple TV status light does not flash white when you press a remote button, the issue may be with the remote. In this case, go to the the "If the remote isn't working" section below.
Press and hold Menu on the Apple Remote to return to the Apple TV main menu.
Reset Apple TV by unplugging it from the power outlet, waiting about five seconds, then plugging it in again or by pressing and holding Menu and down / scroll on your Apple remote.
Power off your TV, wait five seconds, then power it back on.
Make sure your TV is functioning correctly. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Apple tv not working

apple tv not working - message NO SIGNAL for this plasma. Was working before. Major difference a download from itunes 4 g movie yesterday. I have tried rebooting the apple device more than once. Switched off all plugs,checked all plug positions. Can anybody help please? Australia. Maggie.APple tv oroblem

Good morning Winston.
thanks.
i eventually found a one-liner in THE APPLE MANUAL which fixed it.
i.e. Resetting the APPLE TV. The instruction was to use the silver small operating APPLE device,
HOLD DOWN THE MENU BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BLACK DOWN BUTTON UNTIL THE WHITE LIGHT ON THE APPLE TV STARTED BLINKING RAPID WHICH IT DID. I then released the pressure ON THE BUTTONS and within a few moments, the TV screen cleared and it started working again.
The interesting part is that I had thought a reset of the APPLE TV may have taken place when it was unplugged. BUT NO IT DID NOT.
Also, there was much helpful comment in the forums but not this simple solution which I found ON the WEBSITE APPLE MANUAL.
HOPE THE ABOVE IS CLEAR ENOUGH TO HELP OTHERS. Maggie 3/1/2015

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.
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)

In the middel of updateing my IPod the connectione stopd and since then the device is not working. only white screen no connectivity to win or to the Appstore

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Flashing White Light

When I plug my Apple TV (2nd gen) into TV, I get a flashing white light and an iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable on the screen.
I've also noticed there is no micro-usb that comes with the tv either

sounds like a hardware fault.
either get an micro USB cable and restore it using itunes, or return it to apple as a faulty unit.

apple don't provide a micro USB just the same as they don't provide an HDMI cable.

For what reason on my tablet with OS Android 4.1 does not work flash on the sites?

Hi! I recently bought a Google Nexus 7 tablet with Android 4.1 operating system and on my tablet does not work flash sites. Why adobe does not release a new version of flash for android 4.1? Why it was necessary to buy a company Macromedia, if adobe does not want to develop web technology? I think against Adobe can sue for violation of antitrust

I found this for example:

Apple remote not working

My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

Hi Focus,
I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
I hope help somebody.

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

Why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

When is it asking for it ?
If you are updating from iOS 7+ to 7.0.4 then did you have Find My iPod enabled on it ? If you did then it might be asking for the password for your account when you set that 'on'.
