Flashing Orange Light - but everything works fine

Hello I've found other discussion posts regarding flashing lights, however they seem to most/all be associated with a problem connecting. I'm connected as always just fine, wirelessly through my TC. I did a software update check and everything is up to date. So not sure why the orange light is flashing. Any help? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions!
Open Airport Utility, click Manual Setup
Click on the word "Status" and a window will open with a message about the reason for the flashing amber light.
If all appears to be well on your network, the flashing light may be an indication that a firmware update is available for your device. This would be separate from any software update notices that you may have received.
Let us know what you find.

SG300-24P (SRW2024P-K9) System LED's will not light but switch works fine

I have two SG300-24P (SRW2024P-K9) switches installed and working fine but the system LED on lower left front corner does not come on. Any suggestions for us to get these lights to properly indicate the system is powered up and working?

These switches come with limited lifetime warranty. I think your best bet is to contact support: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-small-business-support-center-contacts.html

Googlemail and leopard todo list frustration but everything working fine

Hey guys
My mail seems to be working fine, i have 4 accounts setup all receiving emails fine (I hope) all i done was did a clean install from the snow leopard disk and manually backed up using time machine copying over the folders i wanted i.e. itunes / iphoto / calendar etc (Not mail)
i then started again with mail adding accounts although i did have to quit mail do a restart to get my emails back that were stored on google etc
Now my problem...
I select in preferences to always use the "on my mac" todo list under composing but i keep getting the googlemail todo list under neath on the sidebar. Although it doesn't do anything, is there a way i can delete it from view as it's very much a pet hate.
Thanks

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Getting a green sceen and sound, but everything works fine in chrome.

I have a new computer it uses Windows 8. According to the Adobe website I have the latest version of flash player installed (16. something). I usually use Google Chrome for my browser, but my kids use internet explorer. I noticed about a week ago that when I played my one game the ads came up green and the kids said videos came up that way too (on IE). However in Chrome they work great. The real problem is Skype. I got on today and only get the green screen to see my Dad who I was talking to, but I can see myself in the playback video at the bottom perfectly fine. I have tried everything on the Adobe site that I can. I can usually fix things on the computer but this has me stumped. I am still getting used to the new operating system too, so that doesn't help me.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

[SOLVED] Failure when loading modules, but everything works fine

I've updated Linux from 2.6 to 3.0, everything seems to be working as before, but I'm getting this when booting:
Loading modules [FAIL]
I don't see anything relevant in dmesg output, everything seems to be loaded fine. Is anybody else getting the same error since the kernel update?

What's strange is that Tp smapi's functionality seems to be there anyway... It's a module for battery control in Thinkpads and my battery indeed doesn't charge beyond 80%, the way I want it to be.
I'm having the same issue. I think you will find that the "functionality" isn't provided, as you said, /sys/devices/platform/smapi doesn't exist, and that your battery is actually remembering the last charge limits you sent to it. Try to remove the battery and put it back, I'm nearly sure that it'll lose them. This is what happens to me on my second battery, the ultra-bay one, which I occasionally have to remove to insert my CD drive.
No idea why tp_smapi doesn't load when put in MODULES in rc.conf, but workarounds should be easy. Alternatively, if you only use it to update your charge settings, you can just manually load it each time you need to.
EDIT :
Have just found out that by manually adding thinkpad_ec before tp_smapi in MODULES in rc.conf, everything loads. Strange, since thinkpad_ec should be loaded automatically with tp_smapi. But hey, it works.

Part of screen froze but everything works fine

I was trying to bootcamp my mac and install windows 7. When I restarted the computer, while things were loading (before and during the apple logo in startup) I could see like the shadow of some of my desktop icons, the looked like the were printed in the screen. I restarted several time but they are still there. How can I fix this?

Take the iPhone into the nearest Apple store for evalution. Make
a GeniusBar appointment to avoid delay:
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Bring cash or credit/debit card. It sounds like there is damage inside
the iPhone. An Out of Warranty replacement for iPhone 5 is $269 US,
If you have AppleCare+, cost will be reduced.
If you have Verizon insurance or other coverage, contact them.

A liquid damaged iPhone 4 can be replaced by Apple for $149.
By the way... and electrical short can be dangerous, creating a fire or explosion hazard. You can see the short that's affecting the flash... It's the short you may not see that's affecting the battery and/or charging circuitry that's the problem.
Get it replaced.

Problem with a Dell Monitor - stopped working yesterday, just a flashing orange light. Monitor or Mac Mini issue?

I've been using an old Dell monitor with my Mac Mini ever since I got it, however yesterday evening my monitor stopped working - however I'm not sure whether the issue is with the monitor or the Mac Mini. It just doesn't seem to respond when I try to bring the Mac Mini out of sleep. I can hear that the Mini is responding to the keyboard - I hear the right noise for pressing return on the password box without entering anything.
I've made sure all the cables are plugged in properly (power & connection to the Mini), but all I'm getting is a flashing orange light on the monitor.
I don't have anything else to test the monitor on, nor do I have access to another monitor to plug into the Mac Mini - I only have an old iBook G4, so don't have the right adaptors to plug the VGA from the monitor into that.
So before I run out and buy a new monitor, what is the best way to determine where the problem lies.

Hi, I've actually never had any issues waking this monitor from sleep, this is the first time that it has been unresponsive and I've had it for years - probably over 10! (E151FP) so probably overdue for replacement.
To be honest I'd rather not just switch the Mini off unless it's a last resort given that other than the lack of a picture everything else seems to be working ok - still hearing all the normal noises of Skype, Mail and TimeMachine etc.

Help! Turned on my macbook, everything works fine, but it beeps every 4 sec

I have a Macbook pro 2.4 ghz. Bought it about a month ago, and everything worked fine until I turned it on just now. Everything works fine, however the computer beeps ever 4 seconds at a consistent interval. tried to look it up on the support page, but couldn't figure out what's wrong. Any ideas. Please help!!! I have tests coming up and can't afford to send it in to get diagnosed. Thanks.
David

Does it Beep once or 4 times at each Interval, they imply different problems?
Does the front button light flash at the same time ?

It does sound like a RAM problem, you could try re-seating the card(s) in the slot(s).

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?

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

HT4600 i Get a solid amber light sometimes, bUT all works fine. I have to unplug the airport extreme to reset it and then it turns green and starys that way for a week or so and then turns back to amber. why is this and how do i fix it ?

I gat a solid amber light once a week on my airport extreme, but all works fine. I have to unplug it to reset it and then the light turns back to green and it is good for another week and then it happens again. why is this and what can i do to fix it ?

Solid amber on an AirPort Extreme is an indication that the internal power supply is starting to act up.
If the AirPort Extreme is in warranty, it shouid be exchanged for another AirPort Extreme.
If the AirPort Extreme is several years old, keep any eye on things. When/if you find that you are having to reset the device several times a week, it's time to start thinking about a replacement device, as the end is near.

I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine. I am looking for the cheapest solution to get the stuff running on another machine... is there any way to do that with the Acrobat SDK, or do I need to purchase a full version of Acrobat XI ($$) ?

The Acrobat SDK is nothing by itself. It is just information on how to automate Acrobat - just as the Office SDK doesn't include Office, but is for people who already have purchased Office but want to automate it.
These automation things are MARKETING TOOLS FOR ACROBAT. Consider this and the technical limitations make a lot more sense.
So, yes, you need to buy Acrobat. Standard is cheaper than Pro.
