Green light stays on

I bought an ipod shuffle for my wife and it was working just fine at first. But now the green light stays on and nothing happens. Help!!

I'm in the same boat, I think the ipod is the best thing since sliced bread. I don't want to go back to carrying around a cd player, and CD's. Where are the BIG wigs while were having these problems. Since this Discussion is on the Apple Web page I would think, someone from the apple camp would be reading their consumer reports. I'm really unhappy, I'm not trying to pay for tech support, and I can't figure out what the problem is on my own. I'm actually e-mailing a guy back and forth, he's giving suggestions on what I can do. It seems as if every problem stems from apple downloads. Apple should send me another ipod. I have a mind to contact my local newspaper, just to see if they can get some answers.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Why does the green light stay on at the top of my screen where pictures are taken?

MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.2 - at the top of the frame of the screen a green light stays on - I think this is the camera. Is there a way to shut if off?

This procedure may show which program is using the camera. It makes no changes, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. It will only work while the green LED is on. The instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo lsof -Fc +D /L*/Cor*/*/*/AppleCamera.plugin | sed '2!d;s/^.//' | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Shuffle 2nd generation green light stays on

My ipod shuffle was kinda working (songs would skip along as they played). Now, when turning it on, the green light stays on. I can sync it with itunes and transfer songs like normal, but I cannot play them.

"Hi,
I like you had many problems getting my ipod shuffle to work properly. I finally got a very helpful apple tech guy to help me, and now it works. Here's what we did (these are instructions for windows xp machines):
1. Go to apple.com/ipod/download, and download the latest software updater 2005 - 11 - 25.
2. Once downloaded, install the software updater.
3. Restart machine, with the ipod inserted in the USB port, power setting to OFF position.
4. Once cpu is restarted, go to Start -->ipod-->ipod software updater.
5. Click on "Restore" when the ipod updater window invites you to.
6. Once finished, disconnect Ipod, and turn the power switch to one of the "on" positions (it doesn't matter which).
7. Green light should come on and turn off. Turn off power switch a second time and wait 10 seconds.
8. Insert ipod back into USB port; it should automatically start itunes, which should then offer to setup your ipod.
9. It will automatically begin downloading all songs from your itunes library onto the ipod. WHen complete, you can disconnect ipod, and hopefully the thing will work.
NB: unlike other mp3 players, you MUST use itunes to download your music onto the ipod. you cannot click and drag music using windows.
Hope this helps, and shame on apple for making it so complicated." Try it, worked for me just a few minutes ago, and I had the SAME EXACT problem, seriously.

Droid X won't charge, has green light staying on.

My Droid X just started today not charging and the green light stays on when it is plugged into the wall, PS3 or laptop. How can I get it to charge and stay on?

Macbook Pro Mid 2012 w/ Thunderbolt built in display - Green light stays on constantly...

Just recently this week, the green light next to the isight/webcam built in on my Thunderbolt 27" monitor just stays on mostly all the time. I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps of resetting the PRUM and MCU, placing the computer to sleep, waking it up, shutting it down, doing a hard shutdown (holding down the power button on the laptop itself)   Shutting down the computer, unplugging everything, unplugging the power cords. I have TRIED EVERYTHING..... and for whatever reason the green light next to the built in webcam on my Thunderbolt 27" monitor connected to my MacbookPro (I've always had the laptop lid closed) the light stays on......
I beg anyone who has had this problem, please respond and help.    Also, FYI   I have NOT downloaded any new software or uninstalled anything... I work from home and this is my WORK PC. The only thing I tired doing when this started happening was join a google hangout.... and that's when it started
since then, I have uninstalled google chrome from my mac and also uninstalled the googlevoiceandtalk   application using a script from google that I ran in the Terminal with SUDO.
I'm a owner of a Macbook Pro 15-Inch, Mid 2012 with OS X Mavericks Ver 10.9.1
Processor 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Software OS X 10.9.1 (13842)
Apple Thunderbolt Display with a built in HD webcam   2560x1440

MANY MANY Thanks,

I hope to hear from someone.

Took it to the apple store. The problem was my logic board. I sent it off to be replaced.

I Have A Solution To The "Green Light Stays On"

One day I unplugged my shuffle from the USB port and the green light would just stay on and the shuffle would not play. Here's how I fixed it.
Leave the shuffle on without recharging it until the green light goes out. If you press the buttons the green light should flash like normal or flash with a small red light underneath it. Here's the important part, make sure the shuffle is always turned OFF before plugging it in to recharge and the problem should not reoccur. If you accidently leave it on when charging, and the problem happens again, just do the above steps. Someone let me know if this works for them also. Thanks.

You have to eject your iPod manually (either in iTunes or on Windows, clicking Safely Remove Hardware in your system tray) if you have it set to disk mode.

HP1300 laserJet printer - can't turn on machine off; large green light stays on

Old printer, bought used, has given great service.
Printed great til this evening.
Small green and orange lights stay on; also larger green light "frozen" on (it is the on and off/restart button). Can't turn the printer off using the button.. It will not print at all.
Checked everything, went through problem solving procedure on "Help" menu. Unplugged, also restarted computer, changed USB ports. Still won't print.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks : It worked.. I find it strange though as my playbook was charged to more than half way when I left it. And I only left it for an hour or so. Maybe my memory is wrong though that does happen with me.43 maggie

Green light but doesn't work

I have 2 original airport expresses. They are both doing the same thing. I reset and use airport utility to set up to join my existing network (to run amplified speakers). The green light comes on, it works fine for maybe 15 minutes and then stops working and disappears from airport utilities. The green light stays on. I can reset and start over and it does the same thing. Both expresses act exactly the same. Please help. Thanks.

PS. I have a new Airport Express hooked up to another set of speakers and it works fine. And I have had it hooked up to the speaker's the old express is having trouble with and it worked fine. Do these airport expresses just wear out?

Airport extreme will only get or send e-mail messages, or allow Safari to function for about 5 minutes. After that it doesn't respond even though the green light is on and diagnostics says there is nothing wrong. Have to unplug again to get a response.

For the past 2 days Airport Extreme works for about 5 minutes and then will not receive or send e-mail messages, or let Safari work. The only way I can send or receive is to unplug Airport Extreme for a few seconds, reconnect and then work frantically for 5 minutes before it does the same thing. The green light stays on and the diagnostics tells me nothing is wrong even though no mail is moving.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

Why has my built-in camera stopped working? The green light is on, but no picture in photo booth or Skype.

I have rebooted, but to no avail. The green light stayed on right through the reboot.

Glad all is sorted. It's very normal for your Mac to get quite warm, especially when used intensly for a long period of time. If the room temperature is very warm, it's well worth switching off or putting it to sleep whenever you can.
Believe it or not, it gets very warm here in the UK once in a blue moon & when it does, I try to keep the room temperature as cool as I can.
Best wishes

HT3275 the light on my time capsule keeps flashing orange and green. I know it is supposed to be green how can I get the green light to stay on

the light on my time capsule keeps flashing orange and green. I know it is supposed to be green how can I get the green light to stay on

Orange and green flashing is unfortunately a failure indication.
How old is the Time Capsule?

My macbook(2008) has been working well until a few hours ago. I tried plugging it in to several outlets but the light stays green no matter what, It will not charge. Also it will not stay on or turn on if I unplug it from the outlet, anyone have any idea

My macbook(2008) has been working well until a few hours ago. I tried plugging it in to several outlets but the light stays green no matter what, It will not charge on any outlet. Also it will not start when it is unplugged when my battery is at 50%. It also will shut down immediately if I unplug it from the charger, even though it says it isnt being charged by it. Can anyone help with this problem?

So you have the 13" aluminum notebook that just says "MacBook" on the display, correct?
You can get a new battery for $100 from Other World Computing here.
Alternatively, you can get one through Apple for $130 here.
I personally would go through OWC - they're a highly-recommended third party for these kinds of parts and their batteries work just as well as Apple's.

I can't get my printing job to abort. I've tried your suggestion of turning off the green light on the front of the printer (1560) and it continues to stay on and when I add paper it continues to print like crazy. Any other suggestions?

Try cancelling the print job from the computere as described in this post.
