Hello ebulloc,
It sounds like you are getting the flashing amber colored light and cannot connect to the internet with it. According to this article:

Flashing amber
Startup is complete, but the Wi-Fi base station has detected a condition that requires your assistance. To resolve flashing amber status light conditions click here to learn more. Launch AirPort Utility to find out what conditions are being reported.

    Did you solve your printer connection problem?  I have the same issue.  When I first turn the system on, it is connected.  But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI.  I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac.  Very frustrating.  I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

    My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
    For a test, change your router so there is no security.  See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

  • I lost my wireless connection everytime

    Hi,
    I have a little issue. When I start up my iMac intel I always lost my wireless connection. Same thing when my iMac goes into suspend mode. I then have to click on the wireless icon then on the network I want to join.
    How comes? Why the iMac is not able to reconnect automatically to the correct network?
    Thanks

    Doesn't seem right,and I'm not 100% certain, but I think you need to try dragging this file to the Desktop, then log out and back in, then setup the connection again... keeping an eye out for something like "Save in Keychain", or "Save Password"
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    The reason for moving it to the desktop is that you can always drag it back if this doesn't work. Logging out/In will cause a new fresh one to be made.

  • Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

    My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest  ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

    Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check  your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
    If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
    As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

  • My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

    My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
    This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
    The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
    What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

    I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
    if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

  • Can I use the Time Capsule strictly for system backup and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs

    I want to use the Apple Time Capsule as an external drive and continue to use my Airport Extreme for all my wireless needs. Can I do that? The reason I ask is that my Time Machine utility cannot find the TIme Capsule - it only shows me the Airport Extreme, even when I "Rescan". SO I am unable to use the Time Capsule.

    You will need to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds, then give it another minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Time Capsule tab located below the row of icons to assign a name to the Time Capsule, a device password, and adjust Time Zone settings.
    Next, click the Wireless tab located to the right of the Time Capsule tab
    Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update at the lower right to save the settings and allow 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    You are all set

  • Problem with combo boxes and the reset button in certain situations

    Hi Everyone,
    i have a problem to make the reset-button function properly in an what-if analysis dashboard.
    The dashboard uses two combo boxes that are not visible at the same time. In my application the second combo box only appears when a dedicated menu (label based menu button) has been activated.
    So i have combo box 1 when menu A is active an dand combo box 2 when menu 2 is active.
    After starting the dashboard initial values are fine. If you then directly change to menu 2 (seeing combo box 2 with
    the correct default value) and press the reset button, the dashboard returns to the initial view, showing
    the menu 1 with the correct default value. If you now switch back  to menu 2, you will see, that the combo box 2
    is empty (i.e. nothing selected).
    I also tracked the destination cells for the combo box value results as well as the source cells for the "selected item" and the
    destination cells for the "Insert Selected Item". All this values seem to be correct. Therefore i assume that
    this is an issue of event handling. Maybe the combo box 2 does not refresh its selected value because it is already
    invisible when the values are restored.
    This case can easily be simulated by placing two combo boxes and a push button (that changes the visibility of
    the combo boxes) and the reset button on the canvas.
    Maybe someone can help. I am able to provide a test xlf, if neccessary.
    Thanks,
    Oliver
    P.S. I am using Xcelsius SP4 (Version 5.4.0.0)

    Hello Debjit_Singha_86,
    thank you for your support. At the moment i have the following setting:
    label based menu
    - General: Insertion Type "value" from a list of ID's for the menu-items to a dedicated cell (current menu ID, say tab1!$A$1)
    - Behavior: Selected item (position) fixted to item 1
    hidden combo box
    - General: Insertion Type "position" to a dedicated cell with the current choice (say tab1!$B$1)
    - Behavior: Selected item (position) to the same cell (tab1!$B$1)
    Can you give me a hint on how to connect the two components according to your solution, so that the label based menu sets the default for the hidden combox box only in case, that the reset button is pressed?
    Thanks,
    Oliver

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it.  As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

    The steps to try would be to:
    1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
    2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
    If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

    Yes, I am connected to the Internet through my wifi. Everything is working fine with the e  eption of youtube.  I have reset all Internet settings and have tried synching to iTunes followed by rebooting.  This is all the advice I have found although none of it has been helpful.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
