Homehub5 bug? It reboots (flashing green light) ev...

I have had problems with WIFI stability on my Homehub5 ever since I have had it (when Infinity was provided about 3 weeks ago). But yesterday I noticed a url for a particular Internet Radio site causes a reboot. THis is completely reproducable (I've tried this 5 or 6 times) and occurs whether I try to url from my PC WMA application, or from a Logitech Squeezebox device. The url is as follows:
This url: http://www.play.cz/radio/croddur192.asx
This to me this strongly indicates a Homehub5 issue - even if the radio station were sending malformed packets, or my PC laptop were sending malformed IP packets/Ethernet frames - this should the Homehub5 to react in this way.

Try a factory reset of the home hub.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Retina Flashing green light on charger when fully charged (macbook turned off or lid closed)

    Hi there,
    Just got a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014. I have noticed that when the Macbook is turned off or the lid is closed the green light on the charger is blinking. It seems it does this when the Macbook Pro is fully charged and I am not sure if it is a fault with the charger or if it just does this when its fully charged? When the laptop is open and plugged in it doesn't do this.

    You tried the SMC Rest right?

    I don't know what else to do.

  • My MacBook pro won't charge and I have a flashing green light?

    I have not used my MacBook for a couple of days n today realised it needed charging when I come to use it so I plugged it in. I get a green flashing light but it won't charge, what seems to be the problem? I have only had it since April so can't see it being the mac is it the charger itself? Please help!

    Do a SMC and a PRAM reset, if that doesn't resolve the issues, look at the MagSafe links.

    If all that fails, then take it in.

  • What Does Flashing Green Power Cord Light Mean?

    Today, my MacBook Pro Retina charging cord started showing a flashing green light on the mag-safe connector.  What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    This sounds like some sort of power issue.
    Are you using the 3 prong plug or the 2 prong (dusk head)? If you are using the dusk head try the 3 prong.
    You can try a SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Also read thru this and check all that it suggests:
    Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
    Check/clean pins/sockets
    If still no joy there may a damaged conductor in the cable/attachment to the brick issue.
    You can take it to an Apple Genius bar for a free diagnosis/evaluation, bring both the computer and the power supply.
    Make an appointment first, as they can be quite busy:

  • Green light flashing on my power cord

    I used my fully charged mac book today for most of the day with having it plugged in.
    when it notified me that I was running on the last 10 minutes of battery I went and got my power cable and plugged it in as normal to find that the green light flashed when I plugged in the power cable. When I pull out the power cable it stops flashing and turns to sloid green, not once have I seen it go amber like it should when it is charging.
    What does this mean?
    I can still turn my mac on but it isn't charging at all and the screen flickers in rhythm with the flashing green light.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    From the stats you give you should be eligible for a free replacement battery under the following program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
    This provides warranty extension if your 1-yr warranty extension has expired. ( I always recommend paying for the Applecare extension for laptops.)
    To get this you might need to print this page and take it with you. The program is worldwide. Your dealer should cooperate as should Apple (NZ). Be polite but don't accept 'No' as an answer.
    Best of luck.

  • Airport Express has green light but can't be seen in airport express

    I had something odd happen with my wifi network today. I have reset everything and gotten all my Airport Expresses (AE) working again except one.  This AE can not be seen in the Airport Utility (AU) no matter what I do.  I have brought it into the same room as the transmitter and it would still not be seen.  So I connected it to an ethernet cable and when I did the light turned green but still nothing in the AU.  Each time I have changed configurations I have attempted to let the AE attempt to start on its own, I have performed a soft, hard reset and then a factory reset. 
    This is an older device (b/g not n as I recall) - what am I missing? It is difficult to determine if the device actually resets but the light blinking seems to match with descriptions of the process on the web.  This all worked yesterday and this morning until my network went haywire (only the 2.4 GHz signal went out, I changed channels and reset and it has stayed up since). All the othe Airport devices could be reconnected by a hard reset after which they appeared in the AU and I could then reconfigure.  This one AE just will not cooperate.
    Any thoughts will be appreciated.

    The model number is A1084 and I am using version 7.6.1 of AU.
    When I attempted the hard reset the list starts off amber then after 5-10 seconds the amber light flashes rapidly and that is when I remove the paper clip I am using to push the button.  Afterwards it goes solid amber for a bit then flashes amber.  If the devices is not plugged into the ethernet it stays flashing amber, it it is connected to the ethernet it goes steady green
    When I attempted the factory reset it is solid yellow for quite awhile then I get a rapid flashing green light at which time I remove the paper clip. It then goes back to amber for awhile then flashes amber.  If the devices is not plugged into the ethernet it stays flashing amber, it it is connected to the ethernet it goes steady green.
    In neither case does it appear in AU.  Also FYI I am running Mountain Lion although everything has worked fine until yesterday.
    Thanks for the reply

  • I changed my internet box and now my airport extreme light flashes amber what I need to do to get the green light back

    I changed my internet box and now my airport extreme light is flashing amber but I have internet connection, how can I get the green light back

    When you change modem (the internet box I presume) you should reset the AE to factory and redo the setup completely.
    However if you merely want to stop the amber flashing.. find the cause.
    Open the airport utility and click on the AE..
    It will give you a list of faults or problems... fix each one and the light will turn green.
    The most likely fault is double NAT.
    That means the AE should be in bridge mode.. but if you list the fault we can give you further help with what to do to fix it if you cannot understand the instructions.
    Apple does give a procedure to remove the problem although it may not always be the best solution.
    eg Ignore.. the light will turn green.
    Lately Apple is saying to use double NAT and ignore the problem.. I do not thing that is a good idea at all.
    To bridge however may be easier after a full factory reset than trying to do a change to the setup.
    If you run Yosemite.. then I recommend the following.. please read AE for TC.. (Time Capsule is what I mainly use but the setup is identical).
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
    In your case bridge is most likely required.. and it is up to you how you deal with this one.. for now see if it is stable.. if it gives you issues come back and fix it.
    4. Set IPv6 to link-local only on the computer..
    This is strange one in that apple should have fixed this up ages ago.. but we are finding the auto setting even on Yosemite is still giving the wrong setup.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen won't work, light flashing green and orange

    My 2nd gen ipod shuffle won't work and the light is flashing green and orange.  Or green, orange, orange, orange.  I've Reset, Restarted, Restored and Re-installed, so before I chuck it out I wondered if there were any other suggestions to get it working?  Thanks,

    Sounds like it's still under warranty (one year). Take it back for replacement.

  • Extreme Base Station - green lights flashing in back, no light on front

    My Apple Extreme Base Station isn't broadcasting a WiFi signal and isn't creating a network for ethernet. The green lights on the back by each port are flashing about every second, but the front indicator doesn't show a light (no green, no amber, no nothin'). The base station doesn't show up on AirPort Utility, even though it's connected via Ethernet cable.
    I tried doing a hard reset (turning off station for a couple minutes, holding in reset button - plugging in power - and continuing to hold reset button) but nothing seems to be working.
    Is this dead? Or is there another solution to bring it back to life. Thanks if you have a fix!

    An internal power supply has failed on the AirPort Extreme. Unfortunately, Apple does not offer repairs or repair parts, so not much that you can do other than replace the device.
    The A1143 was discontinued in March 2009, so the device is at least 5+ years old, likely older. Unfortunately, 5 years....on average.....is about all that you can expect from routers designed for home use.
