I have amber flashing light on the airport

I have attemped to resolve an issue with an amber light flashing on the Airport Time capsule & in utilities which also shows a number1 in a red circle

Can you provide a bit more detail about what you have attempted and what the results were......so we can avoid asking you to do things that you have already done?
If you can....list the steps that you have taken....and then what happened after each step.
It would also be helpful if we knew what version of AirPort Utility that you were using. If you are not sure, open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About AirPort Utility. Please post back with the version number that you see there.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning. At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot. Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad. I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.

Since cahnging FIOS Internet provider, which required a router to go in front of "AirPort" I have a blinking yellow on the AirPort and suggested editing in AirPort utility to cahnge from Double NAT to "Bridge Mode" my knowledge base is not clear as t

How do I clean up my new FIOS connection? I just cahnged ISP Fios and they reqquired a router of thier own in front of my AirPort Extreme. Since then I have blinking yellow light on the AirPort and AirPort utility keeps promting for an edit. Suggests canging from NAT to "Bridge mode". Obviuosly U have some internet or this post would not go anywhere, my knowledge base is not enought to feel comfortable with changing the settings. Correctly editing can be tricky, so how do I make necessary changes?

How do I clean up my new FIOS connection?
The FIOS router needs to be in Bridge Mode to prevent the Double NAT error from occurring when two routers are both fighting with each other for control of the network.
Unfortunately, the likely problem from the FIOS side is that FIOS support will either tell you that their router cannot be configured to operate in Bridge Mode, or if it can, they will not tell you how to do it.
But, it could not hurt to check with FIOS to see if anything might have changed recently in this regard, so your first call would be to FIOS support.
If you cannot change the FIOS router to Bridge Mode, the alternate plan would be to change the AirPort Extreme to Bridge Mode. If you are using the Guest Network feature on the AirPort Extreme at this time, that feature will not work correctly when the AirPort is set up in Bridge Mode.

No. As the Apple TV is unresponsive you need to connect to iTunes, which is done via micro usb

My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light. What to do? It showed a USB symbol point toward an iTunes symbol and won't reset after resetting with the remote. Same thing.

usb symbol pointing toward an itunes symbol is apples way of trying to get you to connect the appletv to your computer running itunes so it can restore the apple tv's software
though it seems to be a connection few people make

I have a flashing light on my apple tv , only thing on the screen is a blue music symbol and some sort of USB cord.

I have a flashing light on my apple tv. When I replug in the power a blue music symbol and some USB cord shows up.

Sounds like the Apple TV is in recovery mode. Try to restore the Apple TV. Follow the appropriate link for your Apple TV for instructions on the restore process.

My A'Extreme sometimes won't connect to my MacBook Pro even if I have a green light on the device . I can unplug the ethernet cable and reconnect and it will work fine. all diagnostics say there is nothing wrong. Any ideas ?

This is more about your modem then anything. Sometimes you'll need to unplug and plug back in your modem. Consider it a glitch from the ISP or just the modem in general.
when I need to turn something off then on I try the modem first. This when I'm not doing any ware and tare to the device.

I know longer have a flash player because the update will not accept my password. I even changed my password.

We are all alive here, but not working for Adobe. Installing Flash Player isn't asking for your Adobe password.
When you install or update most software you will be asked for your own computer's administrator password. This is the one you chose when you first switched on your machine, and nobody can tell you what it is.

I have lost the amber/green light indicator on AirPort Express. How canI get it back?

How can i get the amber/green light indicator on the AirPort Express. It has stopped working.

If I do a factory reset, will I have to reset the network configuration?
Yes, but based on what you are telling us, I doubt that the device will restart after you try this. You have tested with other AC wall jacks, correct?
I just purchased the unit in April this year, it would be very soon to have to replace it, especially since I don't think I kept the receipt...
Most stores keep a record of purchases. Otherwise, Apple support can look at the serial number and know approximately when the device was sold. You should have no problem getting a replacement, I would imagine.

Amber Flashing Light

For some time now, I think since I started streaming video files to my Apple TV, my Time Capsule flashes amber all the time. I have looked this up in the setup guide and all around the Apple website, but can't find a good reason for this. The Setup Guide tells me that it means it can't connect to the wireless network. The thing is, I have had no problems with my internet connection and I have been able to successfully use the Time Capsule to to Time Machine backups on two machines wirelessly.
Basically, the amber light it telling me something is wrong, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Does anyone have any idea what it is trying to tell me or if I should just ignore it.
Thanks in adance

From +Airport Utility's+ Help for +Solving AirPort problems > What does the flashing light mean?:+
For information about the reason the light flashes amber, open +AirPort Utility+, select your device, and then choose +Manual Setup+ from the +Base Station+ menu. Enter the password if necessary, and then click +Base Station Status+ to display information about the flashing light.

Get an amber flashing light wherever I connect

I just purchased an airport express, my home set up is a bt 2wire router...thing(?) which goes into a d-link switch this then goes out to the other computers in the house via ethernet cables, although the 2wire151 is wireless the room I want to use my macbook in is too far away from it. I wanted to use the airport express to take in the home network via ethernet and send it out wirelessly...(if that makes sense) I connected the airport express directly to the 2wire151 via the ethernet cable that leaves it and normally enters the d-link and it flashed amber I had previously tried connecting it to one of the cables that comes out of the d-link upstairs with the same result, wherever I connect the express on the network it still flashes amber!...but if I plug my macbook into the same cables it connects to the internet perfectly!
any help would be great

This procedure shouldn't be necessary with a new out-of-the-box Airport Express, but try following the hard reset procedure described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
If after connecting the Airport Express to your network it still flashes amber, I would suggest you return it for a replacement. The troubleshooting steps you have taken so far certainly convince me that your own network and the cable you are using is not at fault.

Amber flashing light on express after setting up WPA security on bebox

Hi,
I have an airport express hooked up to my hifi downstairs , which was working fine. MY imac was linked into an unsecured Bebox wireless broadband.
I then secured my network using the 192 website address (WPA key I think) and that now works fine for my imac and my girlfriends pc laptop.
I have however seemed to sever the link for my express after doing so.
I looked on the 192. page for somewhere to allow the device into the loop (i can see the device in the list of devices - i just can't seem to do anything with it !!).
I also hit the reset button on the express but no diff.
I would also like to create an airport base station as my link to my imac upstairs and link that to the bebox downstairs (the broadband signal is weak downstairs, as the bebox is right next to the imac - upstairs).
Any great ideas on how to resolve the two or even just to get the get the link back ?
P

an addendum to this.
i thought i had cracked at least the airtunes to my speakers component.
i ran factory default to the airport express and then went to airport set up manager and and the express was "seen" by my system - I then connected the express into my wireless system.
The light went green on the express (it still is) and i could see the remote speakers in itunes. Done !!
However, I came back to my itunes 10 minutes later and my remote speakers were missing from itunes but the express was still green.
The express is along way from the bebox modem I use (2 flights up) - could this be it ?
Any ideas ?
I would ideally like to set up a system as follows - express attached to sound system downstairs to play music and which is also an extended part of wireless network, be box in middle of house as adsl modem connection and airport extreme base station upstairs with my imac. Is it possible or is bebox not compatible with all this ?

I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks for providing the model information.
I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
Please post back your results.

I have installed flash player but the computer does not recognise it

I have installed flash player 11 and checked it is installed on my compuer.
But if I try to play any media it says I need to install flash player.
I went to your website at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and got this message.
I have tried uninstalling flash player and then trying again, restarting computer etc. But the computer will not play any media in IE.
If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled". Did you check if it's enabled:
