I am connected to the internet, but the amber light keeps flashing. What is wrong?
What is wrong with my Airport express when the amber light keeps flashing, even though I am connected to the internet?
The AirPort Express has a message for you.
To find out what it is......
Open AirPort Utility, select the Express, click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (3rd line)
A window will open with details about why the Express is complaining.

I am having trouble setting up my time capsule. the amber light is flashing. i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function. I just want the Time Capsule to back up.
Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you. -
My MacBook Pro shut itself down and now it won't turn back on and the power light keeps flashing the amber light. I don't know what to do, and this has never happened before.

Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.
Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.
When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

I had a problem with DSL service provider. They have corrected their problem but now, I can only hard wire into my desktop for internet access. If I plug in through the Time Capsule, I get no wireless service. I unplugged the Time Capule and rebooted but now the amber light is blinking tellimg me that it cannot access internet. So, I have hard wired back to my Mac and need to know how to get the Time Capsue to recognize the internet when I plug into it.
Start with a factory reset and do setup over again.
If the DSL modem is working as router.. which will be the case for most people then the TC must be in bridge mode..
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change. -
Well my question says it all. I wasn´t using the apple tv, but noticed that the amber light started to blink, so I put it on the tv and there was the apple logo. I did the recory with the "MENU" + "-" button, but came back the same. After a while it showed a little Apple TV image with a "?" mark blinking on top. I disconected it the whole night but today is doing the same. Is like it got stuck on the restart. Can anyone help me?
Fixed it after trying everything listed here with no success.
First you will need to make sure you have the ability to connect your ATV box directly to your router via a cable. This issue is directly related to networking from my experience and once connected to wifi you will have a nightmare of a time to complete the fix.
1. Make sure you have NO network connection to the ATV box.
2. Hard reboot ATV using remote (aim remote at device and hold "menu" and "down/minus" until amber light blinks)
3. When ATV reboots to a diagnostic menu select "Factory Restore"
4. After Restore has completed select a language
5. You cannot skip the the wifi selection screen without setting up a connection, however: DO NOT SETUP WIFI! Instead plug in the direct cable to your router, and hit the menu button on your remote. You will see "connecting to network."
6 Once you are past the start up splash video you will eventually arrive at the connect to itunes screen which will start looping the apple logo and a new code about every 2 seconds. Disconnect the network cable.
7. After a few seconds the loop will stop. Press the menu button to skip the itunes connection (you will be able to do it later.)
8. At the following menu go to Settings > Screen Saver > Set delay for "Never"
9. Go back to the main menu, then go to Settings > Network > Configure TCP/IP > Click on "Using DHCP"
9. Click "Done"
10. Connect cable to router, and then proceed with updating your ATV.
After I was updated the problem did not return.
I have completed this solution personally twice on the same unit. After getting updated and stable, I recovered my ATV again, and had the same problems again. Repeated these steps and good to go.
Hope this helps someone, and good luck! -
My Time Capsule doesn't want to (hard nor soft) reset, and the status light keeps flashing quickly.
About two weeks ago, my Time Capsule's status light was flashing rapidly orange/green simultaneously.
Unplugging the power supply worked.
However, now this trick doesn't work anymore, and a soft nor hard reset of the Time Capsule doesn't work either.
The Time Capsule can't reset anymore, doesn't send out WiFi-signals, and its status light keeps flashing rapidly green/orange simultaneously.
Thanks for your support.
Zander.What model is the TC? Please give the number from the base, A1xxx.
It sounds like the reset has been forced in and is not releasing. I think whatever the problem is you will have a hard time fixing it.. it will need replacement .. it is just a question of what is possible and that depends on its age and model. -
if i open firefox and use it, when i get to last window and close it, if i try to reopen it, it says already open and to close pages but it will not close--the same box keeps coming back
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== first time i loaded it onto new computer with win 7 64 bitFirefox v 3.6.3 running Win 7 Home premium. About every 6th or 7th time I go to open Firefox from my desktop I receive the same msg as the original poster receives. I must restart to clear up the problem. When I select restart it states a forced shutdown is required and asks if I want to proceed. I click yes, the computer restarts and problem is fixed until the next occurrence.
My thanks for any assistance that may be available.
If you require a screenshot let me know, please include instructions on how to do this though. -

Hello Cvillanueva2769
Start with the article below for iTunes crashing when using it or trying to sync. Try starting up iTunes in Safe Mode to see if does the same thing. You may need to remove iTunes and reinstall it as another troubleshooting option.

What happens when the status light keeps flashing quickly?
My status light on the front keeps flashing quickly. Is there a fix for this?
If it's within the warranty period, then return and exchange it. If not, then you have to do a restore with a USB Mini cable.

I can't find my Time Capsule on my networks anymore. It's like it doesn't exist. We got hit by a storm and that might have caused our internet modem from ATT to fry. I replaced the modem today but now my Time Capsule isnt working. It's blinking amber. The PC its connected to through the ATT modem isn't finding it as it scans and its not in utilities. My MacBook isn't finding the time capsule either when it scans. Whenever I hooked up all the wires to the time capsule and the modem, the internet stops working. I've tried resetting the time capsule but it's still blinking. I had all my computer equipment on a power surge protector. A pretty good one. All my other equipment is fine. The ATT modem was old, so I thought it might not have even been the lightening. Nothing else in home was injured by storm. I am freaking out and need help!!! I can't use my MACbook to do my internet work and all my files were backed up on the time capsule.
Another problem. My Time Machine isn't backing up now either. What is up with that?
I would be soooo grateful if someone can help me! Thanks a million!A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

I have tried to re-start my modem and the time capsule, both to no avail.The amber light keeps blinking, and the software cannot find it wirelessly.
Reset it to factory and redo the setup.. this happens a lot now if you have moved on the Mavericks..
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for your wireless.
Otherwise use an iOS device with the latest firmware and use the airport utility for iOS.. it is much more reliable than the computer version. -
