Green light on, strength good, no wifi on all devices, circular icon keeps spinning.

Have an Aiport Extreme, green light is on, network is recognized, strength is good but wifi will not engage on all devices, circular icon keeps spinning.

I have this exact same problem. My internet is awesome when connected directly to my MBP or Apple TV from my Cisco DPC3010 modem. My setup has been working for about 7 months with no problems. I have a somewhat newer airport express whose serial number is C86J40TADV2R. When this one stopped allowing me to connect to Internet I replaced it with my older express that I had set up for network extension and airplay in another room, but the same exact thing is happening. Created a fresh new network on this one, green light, no internet. Any thoughts on what could be going on?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, restart your iMac and your Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve the problem.

Lenovo Yoga disables WiFi for all devices

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 that connects fine via LAN cable, but when i disconnect and try to use WiFi it disables my wireless router for all devices. The wireless router works fine for windows phones, android phones and other laptops. The Yoga disables WiFi every time it connects - is there some setting i can change to fix this? how do i diagnose what is going on? I've checked Ipconfig /all but it looks normal. Any ideas? thanks

I have macair bought 2009. Bluetooth connect with mouse and keypad not working. It used to work. Batteries are good. Green light flashes on each device, but no connection. Any suggestions to help me here? Thanks.

Dear Community,
I have a macbook air bought new in 2009. Since 2011 I only use it occasionally as I now mainly use my iMac. The mouse and keyboard that came with the macbook air used to work fine with bluetooth connection to the macbookair, but now they don't. The batteries are good. The green light flashes showing it is seeking other bluetooth device to connect to. But they wont connect to my macbookair. What could the problem be? Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. Yes I checked that already and BT enabled. Yes, external keyboard. But I just moved the computer to different part of room and bingo the devices paired and connected. So problem now solved. Thanks for offering your help.

Device not recognized by Windows or iTunes - Blinking green light

When I try to connect my iPod shuffle to my computer (Windows XP), it's not recognized by Windows or iTunes. (i.e. device does not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes) While in the USB port, the Shuffle's green light blinks incessantly. My wife uses an iPod on this machine (under separate user name) and has no problems.
I've tried updating software (iTunes, iPod), restarting my computer and resetting the iPod to no avail. My machine is not on a network. The USB port(s) work fine as I can use my memory stick (no USB cable) with no problems. I've tried connecting my Shuffle under my user name as well as my wife's. Same problem.
Also, I had my Shuffle setup on an old computer (PC, Windows 2000) and it still works fine plugging into that. (I'm getting rid of it soon, hence why I'm discovering these new problems).
Please advise. Since my Shuffle is over a year old, I am not eligible for online chat or phone support without paying for an Apple Support agreement.
I know there's another thread with the same issue that was not resolved on the discussion board.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Recently I used my ipod at work all night, just like normal. After work on the way home, like normal, I plugged it into my aux port on my car's head unit, and plugged it into power. 10 minutes later, in the middle of going over Ortgea Highway(hiway 74 between Orange and Riverside Counties), it just suddenly stopped working. When I plug it into any of my computers at home, nothing happens, it is not recognized or seen. When I plug it into power, it displays either a "sad ipod icon" or a battery with exclamation mark(!) icon. I have brand new power adapters both for the car and home, plus brand new usb cables, thinking that would help. It hasn't and now, since I opened those packages, I am out that $$ and ******. Since I received this unit as payment for electrical services rendered, I have no idea how old it is. Does anyone have any ideas? ([email protected])

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

Green light blinking continously on Airport Express

Hi,
since 2 days after software update on Mac OSX10.6.8 I've got my AEB down.
The green light is blinking continuously.
I tried all what i could find on the net :
- reset via utiltiy : Airport Utility 5.6.1 doesn't show any network, neither options, tab, buttons or what so ever.
- software reset of AEB : green light still blinking
- hardware reset of AEB : the same, no orange after 1 second
- reset AEB to default : the same, no orange after 1 second
Internet is ok via Ethernet cable thru the DSL modem.
I would like to understand if it is a hardware trouble or firmware/software trouble.
After pushing reset button of AEB, it is written that led blink orange after 1 second. Does it mean the hardware is kaputt?
Or is it an update of the firmware that went wrong?
Thank you.

I saw this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/17298925#17298925
though i'm still in wonder.
Because status light don't mention green blinking as a fault but as "normal" :
"Si vous choisissez l’option Clignotement en cas d’activité dans le menu local Voyant d’état (dans la sous-fenêtre Borne d’accès des réglages AirPort de l’utilitaire AirPort), le voyant d’état clignote en vert pour indiquer un fonctionnement normal."
that i translate in :
if you select blinking option in case of activities in local menu Status led (in sub-windows "Borne d'accès" of tuning Airport Utility), the led blinks green to say working normally.
But operating guide says "Flashing green : AirPort Express is starting up. The light flashes for one second."

Airport Express has green light but won't connect to remote speakers from Macbook or iPhone

Hi,
I have a 6-7 year old airport express that I have used frequently as remote speakers for my macbook and 2 iphones. I am currently having problems with getting this to work in my new flat. It worked for a few weeks and now he green light is on but the remote speakers time out when i try to connect to it.
Sometimes the airport is visible in itunes/iphone and sometimes it isn't. when it isn't if i unplug it and leave it a while it appears again but i cant connect but the green light is always on.
It's all set up properly so I don't know if it is just getting old and I need a new one or whether this can be solved.
I have reset this numerous times
Thanks in advance!

I've solved this by resetting my wireless internet connection at the box and then setting up airport express again.
I don't know whether that will help you.....

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Apple TC drops wifi but green light glows

I have a 2 TB Apple Time Capsule as my primary wireless router. Recently the TC has started to not send out any Wifi signal at all. All Wifi devices that are connected to it cannot even see the TC nor can the Airport Utility. The green light continues to glow happly! I can reset the device by unplugging and replugging the power, it then reconnects and everything works wonderfully until the next random time it happens.
I read some support threads that suggested fixing the WiFi channels as this may be happening when it switches channels, which I did. The problem still occurs.
Any input?

If it is in warranty, I would certainly be looking to get Apple to replace it. It does sound like it is faulty.
Does the TC get hot? They can be warm to hot during a backup.. but with the disk spun down should not be over hot.. stick it up on feet.. the rubber base does not help much in getting rid of the heat unless you sit it on a chunk of copper or aluminum. Otherwise put a set of bottle tops / pencils / rubbers. whatever you can find to elevate it and allow air underneath.. you want it >8mm off the bench at least (about 0.3-0.5") Make sure it has plenty of air access around the sides and is not in a restricted access area where the local environment is heating up as well.
How long after each restart does it take to stop working? Is it a fairly consistent time.. ?? That could be helpful info.
Have you tried a full lock down of the wireless?
I am deeply suspicious of devices that auto everything.
So use SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Use a different name for 5ghz.
Use fixed channels which you are doing.
Use a fixed wireless mode.. this is not something we usually touch. But worth it in your testing.
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
So normally something like this.
But now add radio mode into the mix.
This does reduce the wireless at 2.4ghz to G.. but it is just a test. See if wireless still drops out..
Does 5ghz also drop out at the same time? Since you can now force some of the devices to 5ghz.
if so I would be blaming hardware.
But iStumbler may show you more.
And the v5 utility can show you log info of the wireless clients.
You will need one computer linked by ethernet to get the chart when wireless drops naturally but you can also check the main log.
v5 utility being of course useful tool cf v6 useless toy.
To load v5 utility into ML.. do this.. although there are plenty of methods if you do a google for the info.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

Time Capsule has green light, connects with wifi, but no internet

After a recent cable outage in my area, I no longer have internet through Time Capsule.
The cable company's "maintenance" has been corrected/restored.
My cable modem works fine and connects directly to my MacBook via ethernet just fine, as well.
When I connect the cable modem to the TC (via ethernet), the green light eventually comes on and my MacBook can access the TC via wifi just fine, but I cannot access the internet.
Thanks, in advance!

Please try the following to get the TC and modem communicating again:
o Power-down the modem, TC, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).
Computers connected to the TC, either by wire or wireless, should now have Internet access. Please post back your results.

Green Light When Join Wifi Network But...

my question is on my airport extreme model (MB053LL/A) I have asked it to join my 3g wifi router on setup, which it has done with a green light appearing, but now I can't see the base station in my wifi and it looks like my wifi is only connecting to the 3g router not the base station.
What is happening in this situation?
What is the base station connected to as it has a green light?

I think you answered my question with the green light and "no routing connection" when you said:
The setting is virtually useless on an AirPort Extreme, because the Extreme has no audio capability, and it performs no routing functions when it is configured to "join" a network.
Since I thought the base station had connected to my 3g router and I saw the green light I assumed the base station could be used as a wifi extender. I know I'm wrong now.
I have read others who also thought they could get a 3g router's wifi to be repeated without wires through the express and extreme base stations. It seems such a pity Apple hasn't an option to do that or to let a user have the ability to use a 3g dongle in the usb port yet. I hate wires and love wireless. I do have another 3g router from Tp-Link that has an ethernet cable which I can insert into the WAN port of the extreme.
So in essence you should have one extreme base station connected to the internet through a cable with an external appliance like a printer or external hard drive in the USB port if you wish and then one or more airport express's to repeat and extend the wifi signal if needed.

My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Help!

My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Can anybody help?

Sorry, you have lost me since it appears that you have two completely separate issues here.
All that I can suggest is you start over and try to set up the Time Capsule again first...and then, once that is done and the Time Capsule is working correctly on the network....then, try to troubleshoot the separate Time Machine issue.
If you decide that you want to do this, we'll need some basic information:
Make and model number of your modem?
You are using OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), correct?

Green light on, strength good, no wifi on all devices, circular icon keeps spinning.
