Help with flashing green light on Express

I am trying to set up an airport express in my office to use with my a windows laptop and my iPhone. I had it working yesterday and took it home to set up a home profile on it. Everything was working fine in both places. Today when I plugged it in it went to a steady green for a second or two then amber while it booted as usual but then to a rapid flashing green. I tried everything I can think of including resets and it still does the same thing. It keeps flashing green and never appears in my network lists. Any ideas?

The rapid flashing green light has happened 3 times to me since I first set up my Airport Extreme in fall 2007. The problem is always fixed by unplugging the LAN cable that connects through my hardwire network to my Airport Express. If I plug the LAN cable back, the rapid green returns and I can't access the network. Unplug it, and voila, the network is back. (I only encounter the problem when I have unplugged the Extreme and plugged it back in - if I leave it alone it is fine).
I think the problem is a conflict in my Airport Express being set to act as a wireless bridge by my computer-tech friend, but I had it set up to be hardwired in the network so as to never lose my iTunes to hi-fi connection if there was a wireless problem. I've yet to sit down to resolve the Express issue; however, I suspect that if your case is similar, the Extreme is in conflict with another network device. If you can isolate it the network to just your Internet connection and Extreme, see if that solves it.
Good luck.

I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.
See here, "How to fix the Apple Magic Mouse!":

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

The model 2,1 MacBook has an easily removable battery. You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Or for $129 from The Apple Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Removing the battery:
Shut down the computer. Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
Turn the computer over.
Locate the battery latch on one side of the battery.
Use a coin to turn the latch a quarter-turn clockwise. The battery should pop up slightly.
Lift the battery out.
Installing the battery:
Place the right side of the battery into the battery compartment at an angle, as shown below.
Gently press the left side of the battery down until it sits flat.
While holding the battery down, use a coin to turn the latch a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. The battery should lock into place.
Note: Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer.

My old Dell is connected to the Internet thru a modem. My time capsule will only flash yellow from the same modem. I cannot get it to oprate with steady green light

I have hit the reset button multiple times. I have moved the cables both on the back of the Airport Time Capsule and the Modem, without achieving progress.
I have followed the instruction in the Time capsule directions multiple times. and still cannot achieve the Green Light!
I am stuck and unable to sign on with my MacBook Pro that does not recognize the Time Capsule, because it clearly is not properly functioning.

How old is the TC? Is this the AC version.. then you are stuck.
If it is gen4 or earlier download the airport utility 5.6 for windows and use that on your Dell.
If you have ipad/iphone with iOS 6 or greater you can download the latest airport utility for iOS and use that.. it is much better apparently than the Mac version.
What OS is on the Mac?
It is well worth buying the Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.. do you happen to already have it.. so you can plug in by ethernet?
Otherwise just do the process again.
But this time do it in isolation.. turn off the modem.
Hard reset or factory reset the TC.
Wait for a few minutes for it to come backup and then open the wifi and you can locate the TC listed in the wifi.. click on it and the airport utility will come up. Setup in isolation so you can then select it and change it to bridge mode.. then plug back into the modem and turn it on.
What modem is it BTW?

I've got a green light but express not connecting to speakers

I've configured my express to my home's wireless network and its attached to my stereo and speaker inputs via rca cables, but when I try connecting to them via iTunes Airplay drop down menu, i can't get no satisfaction, or connection. There is a solid green light on my base station. Am I being stupid and missed the obvious? I have tried setting the base station up as a wireless network itself and connecting that way, this didn't work either. I created the network but got no connection, all I got was intermittment amber flasing lights on the base station. Anyone have a clue? The basestation is plugged a metre away from the the amp and speakers on the floor, will this have anything to do with issue?

Hi markwmsn,
Thanks alot for your comments! I've responded below IN CAPS. Short but by no means sweet, as I think I might have to buy some AirTunes enable speakers, and maybe a new express?
I don't think the distance between the express and the amp or the fact that some of the equipment is on the floor is relevant so long as they are wired together correctly (usually express output -> amp input & amp output -> speakers) and the correct amp input and output are selected. I'M COMING OUT OF THE EXPRESS VIA A MINI STEREO TO DUAL RCA CABLE INPUT
The flashing amber light when you put the Express in "Create a network" mode just means it couldn't find the internet any more. Rejoin it to your home's wireless network or connect it by ethernet. YEAH I REALISED STRAIGHTAWAY AND CHANGED BACK, WAS TRYING ANYTHING
When you try connecting via iTunes AirPlay, does the express not show up in the list of speakers, IT SHOWS UP BUT DOESN”T CONNECT does it show up but not connect, or does it connect but not play?
Have you enabled AirPlay on the express? YES
Have you selected on the amp the input to which the express audio output is connected? I CAN’T DO THAT ON THIS AMP, I PLUGGED RCA’S INTO THE EXTERNAL INPUTS
Thanks again, if you have anymore thoughts, they'd be much appreciated!

Help with initial setup for AirPort Express

Now, before we decided to go wireless, our internet was configured like this: cable cord to router, ethernet cable connecting the router to CPU. This worked fine and our internet has never really had any sort of problems. However, we have had problems with our new AirPort Express. I've tried taking the ethernet cable that's connecting our router to our CPU, and using it to connect the router to the AirPort Express.
However, I keep getting the flashing amber light. When I go into the diagnostics, it says that it cannot pick up an internet connection, even though I'm able to get internet when I plug in directly. If I try to ignore this and set up the account anyway, I can get my computer to connect to the AirPort Express, but I can't get the AirPort Express to connect to the internet.
Please help!

pen22, Welcome to the discussion area!
Did you configure the AirPort Express (AX) to use the same settings as your CPU to connect to the internet?

"You are not connected to the internet" with a green light on Airport

Using airport extreme with my MacBook, The airport shows a steady green light, but I cannot connect to the internet and my Safari shows "You are not connected to the internet".
I tried getting a direct connection, but didn't work, I will be taking my MacBook to have it checked tomorrow.
I called my ISP, thought had to do with my DSL modem, but it works fine with a direct connection to the PC.
I have my network checked with a check mark beside it.
Any help?

For future references, I have come to solve my own problem and I'm now on line.
After I reset my DSL modem, I went into my System Preferences, Network, then Sharing.
Clicked on Internet tab, and chose " Share your connection using Airport".
In my Airport Options, I checked the inputs to make sure the settings match.
And viola, I'm online and 2 floors away from my Airport Extreme.
Hope this comes in handy for future users.
I'm still going to get my Ethernet card checked tomorrow.

Home Hub 5 flash green light.

Our internet has been dropping out a bit lately and getting home today now all that is happening is the light on our hub is flashing green constantly. We've restarted the hub a couple times both turning it on and off and unplugging and plugging it back in again but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

I suggest you try a factory reset of the hub

Ipod keeps giving me the flashing Green light when connected.

I think my first gen shuffle is dead. It's the long white one with the built in USB port. It connects via USB and when I plug it into the computer the computer doesn't recognize it at all. It completely ignores the ipod, the green light on the front of the ipod is flashing continuously. Any ideas? Itunes or Windows won't see the ipod. I'm stumped.

Nevermind people. I figured out what it was. I had got a new usb cable and I've been trying to plug the shuffle into it and it never would work. Well I tried plugging the shuffle into the usb port itself and it still didn't work. But just for **** and giggles I dug out my old usb cable and sure enough my computer and itunes will see the ipod. It's weird cause the new usb cable worked earlier today with my little cousin's ipod. I don't understand why it won't work with mine and I really don't care. I'll keep using the old one. Thanks away guys.

Help with flashing message envelope in the home sc...

Hi all
I was hoping if someone could help with the flashing message envelope in the home screen (next the the key lock, blue tooth, car kit symbols., which will no go away...Just keeps flashing
I have checked that I have no message in any of my inboxes, out boxes..ect
I have set-up email, sms etc. and cleares all boxes
I have tried a reinstall to factory original setup
Any ideas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What do you mean by "repeats every few hours"? Does the flashing message icon pop up all of a sudden, without receiving any messages? Sometimes it happens that messages that are received as many parts will be read by you before all of them have been correctly received. So, as and when a new chunk arrives, you will see this icon even though you had 'read' the message.
If you try the method described in the above post, you will not have any messages in your SIM, and I assume you have no unread messages in your phone either.
I would suggest you to change the Memory in use to Memory card (Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Other -> Memory in use) temporarily, see if you have any unread messages there, clear everything, and then revert it back to Phone Memory.
If it doesn't work, try a factory reset (*#7780#). This will reset your messaging settings also.
