Having status light problems.

I plug my iPod into a USB port and everything works great, except the light keeps blinking orange. When I start up iTunes it stops blinking and goes to solid orange, but never goes to solid green. Yesterday, I had only used it for about 10 muinites so plugged it in just so it would be fully charged next time I used it, but after about an hour, it never stopped blinking orange. Am I just not waiting long enough or something?

Where is "enable disk use" in settings? I see a
few
options, but "enable disk use" isn't one of
them.
Scroll down OR make window bigger...
Oh duh... Well I did that and the light is still
solid orange (it went to solid orange when I started
iTunes. But now I seem to have another problem. I
plugged to USB dock into to back of my computer
instead of the front, but when I go to My Computer,
it comes up for about 5 or so seconds and then turns
into removable disk and then just disappears. It
still shows up on iTunes but not My Computer. I've
never had that happen before...
Windows XP
Ok I actually fixed that last problem, but I took it off the dock and back on it and now it's still just blinking orange.

Status light problem

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, or if there is even a fix for it but here goes. On my 8330 I have this strange problem with the blinking status light. Whenever I turn my phone off (at night, or to recharge), then turn it back on the status light will work for a while and then stop. I have to go into options/screen (or whatever it's called) and change the status light option to "off", then save my change (which by the way makes the status light start blinking again), then change it back to "on" then save the change and all worked fine until I power it off (at which point I have to go though the whole convoluted process again). This is not that big of a deal (just kind of a pain in the butt to have to do all the time). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
On the status light what color are you referring to?
Green is the coverage indicator
Blue is Bluetooth
Red is the message indicator
Amber is the low battery/charge indicator.
Thanks,

HT204492 If you're using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn't with the remote.

If you’re using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn’t with the remote.
Then what is the problem since I have troubleshoot my remote, it is working but cannot do anything on apple TV?

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)

HT3728 No status light at all on Airport/Time capsule. I can plug internet cable directly into bac of my MAC and have internet access no problem. Is my Airport dead and need to be replaced??

I have NO status light on my Airport/Time Machine, I unplugged the internet connection from back of Airport and plugged directly into my MAC and am able to get to the internet just fine.
The Airport is almost 6 years old
Is my Airport dead and just need to get a new one??

Is my Airport dead and just need to get a new one??
Unfortunately, yes. On the upside, your Time Capsule lasted about twice as long as normal.

I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express. I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express. I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express. I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express. The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
I have internet and everything seems to be working.
I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
How do I make it Green?

If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
Click on the amber dot in the small window
It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

My Apple tv status light is blinking fast - how do I troubleshoot?

my Apple TV gen 2 status light is blinking fast and I am not able to see anything from my Apple TV - how do I troubleshoot? What I read on the Apple site is that my Apple TV has issues. My Apple TV is hard wired to my Ethernet network. It is connected to my TV using an HDMI cable. It worked in the past but when I turned it on today it did not work. I have not used it in several months and we had a bad thunderstorm here a couple weeks ago.

I'm having the same problems as you. Any solutions? This is what i'm facing
1. No video signal at all
2. Plugged in power cable only, there is no light
3. Plugged in micro usb, there is flashing light
4. Restore via iTunes is sucessful but problem still persists

Interpretation of status lights colours when starting up a new time capsule

Time capsule documentation on the booklet included in the packaging about the light status is relatively uncomplete and leading to confusion when interpreting the colours on the fisrt start up.
The light indeed may not come green at all despite the fact that the Time capsule is already connected to the Internet. It may flash slowly amber and you may have as well the Airport section connected. Consequently the amber flashing light is not only reflecting an Internet connection problem
The status light in fact reports about to main activities 1 the Internet connection status 2 the network status.
Using a home DSL modem to connect the Time Capsule with an ethernet cable, open Airport Utility, waiting a few seconds. One can see two leds on the screen. Top one is for the Internet status and left bottom one for the Network status.
If the Time Capsule flashes amber, it may have a green status led on the Internet connection while having an amber status led on the Network side.
When being on the Airport Utility screen clicking on the Capsule will bring up a comment about the problem, asking to change the parameters of the router.
Choosing the bridge disconnected mode will clear the problem and the status light of the Capsule will finally turn to green colour. On the Aiport Utility screen both ledswill be then green.

By default, it should use Ethernet if both are available, but if the "service order" in your Network Preferences gets shuffled, it may not.
Be sure it's really using Ethernet (turn WIFI off briefly).
There's a single, fixed partition on the TC's internal HD -- you can't partition it.
Something is clearly wrong; you should get something like 20-25 GB/hour (overall, with a lot of variation), in that configuration. See #D2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Status light wont go out

Hi all - I bought a new ATV V3 at the weekend. The white status light will not go out. I can hold in the play button on the remote and the ATV appears to go into sleep mode (Picture goes off), but the Status light remains on. I can select sleep from the menu - same result.
I have another ATV I used to use on the TV with a different HDMI cable and didnt have the issue. Could it be a problem with the HDMI cable ? Any other suggestions gratefully received ?

Greetings Kalebj80, and welcome to Palm Forums
Are you having any other issues with the device? If everything is still working and you can deal with the flickering light I would just ignore it, How wet did the phone get was it submerged in water? If you want the device fixed call in and do a repair/replace 877-426-3777. You could try leaving the phone out no battery in it back cover off to dry out a little more may still be damp still. Unfortunately electric and water don't mix very well.

Status Light

I purchased an ATV 160GB last year 04/14/2008. It's been working flawlessly, and still working great, since I set it up. I just found out that the status light has meanings. The problem is, the LED light is not on. I recall seeing a light when I first had it going, then I never saw it again. Since everything was working great, I thought not having a light on was normal. I think something with the connection to the light went wrong. Should I live with this or get it fixed? Is there someplace else where I can get its status if I really need to know it?

The little white light has faded on some of my tv's (some haven't and some can't even be seen in the dark) when the unit is operating normally. It still seems to manage to work though when it is trying to tell me something. Are you sure your status light is not working at all or could it just be faded during normal operation.

My computer and phone both can not find the airport wireless connection even though the status light is green whats going on?

I have cox as my internet provider and the last couple weeks i have been having a ton of connection problems. The status light on my airport express is green but my computer is saying the connection is timing out and my phone is having issues connecting to the internet even though it says it is still connected to my wireless network. is it my airport express or something else?

Manually mount the TC in the computer..
In finder use Go/Connect to server.
Type in the name of the TC or its IP address.. I recommend you use all names of SMB standard.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric. That will give you much less trouble.
So AFP://TCname.local (where you use the TCname replaced with the actual network name of the TC. local is the domain by default.
You can use alternative AFP://TCIPaddress like AFP://10.0.1.1 (default IP of TC as router). This is only useful when the TC has a static IP.
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in all the network adapters in the computer and the TC.
Then go to TM preferences and you should see the TC listed as a possible target for TM.

Solid amber status light on ASA 5505

Hi,
I have a Problem with a ASA 5505
when i power on the ASA the Power LED change to green and the Status light to solid amber.
There is no Console output or anything else.
Is this a DRAM or Flash Problem?
What can i do ?
thanks a lot!

Had the same problem, and this fixed it for me. If i plug the power supply into the ASA then plug the power supply into the wall, i get the amber status light and green lights flashing failure. However if I plug the PSU into the wall first, then wait a few minutes and plug the tiny little adapter(Fail on the adapter design Cisco) into the ASA 5505, ta-da it works! It seems like the PSU needs to build up the power before being plugged into the ASA. I don't know for sure, but this works for me. I never wanted to plug in the tiny adapter first because i was afraid of it arcing in the adapter and that causeing problems, but this method works for me, hope it helps.

Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

Apple TV 3 Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?

Since I updated my Apple TV 3 to 5.1.1, the Status Light turns ON and stays ON when I turn ON my Broadband Modem. How do I stop this ?
At the moment I have to go to the HDMI channel that my ATV 3 is connected to, wake the ATV, then put it back to sleep, to turn OFF the status lght.
When I first got my ATV I did not have this problem, when it was running 5.1.0.
I sent in a Feedback form, but they only as the option to select the OS version of a NON iOS device.
Is there a fix to this that wont involve me leaving my modem ON all the time ?
I turn my modem OFF when I am not using the Internet because I am a bit paranoid about the security of the data on my devices, and if I leave the modem turned ON all the time it might make me an easier target for hackers etc. { This is NOT part of my question, just explaining why I turn my modem OFF ( I feel safer ) }
<Edited by Host>

The ATV3 does that to me when I turn on my TV. the light goes on and stays on. If I switch to the ATV3, it seems to be half asleep with the light on ... I do wish Apple would enable the HDMI CEC and then everything would make sense. I've turned off my wireless and on again but the ATV3 light does not turn on automatically for me.
As you pointed out, I guess this could be a small glitch on the new firmware/software update... I wonder if this could be fixed by doing a restore from the iTunes app. I might give it a try tomorrow and see what happens...
Cheers!
