I have done a hard reset on my Airport Express and re-set it up.  When it is to restart, all I get is the slow amber light and the utility gives an error message.

I've tried this several times with the same results.
I press and hold the reset button until a fast blinking amber light.  AirPort Utilities picks it up and identifies it as AirPort Express 802.11n.
I then "Replace the previously selected profile with default settings" and indicate that I want the AirPort Exp. to join my current network and input the information.
At the last step, Utility says an error has occurred and that it can't find the AirPort.
Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming it is not simply broken, a slowly flashing LED probably means the TC is not receiving an IP address from the modem. Make sure you power down your modem whenever you change what is connected to it.
Having to unplug the Ethernet cable from the TC and plugging it in to your Mac repeatedly so that you can communicate is tedious enough, but endeavor to add the power cycle exercise to that action.

    You have VoiceOver turned on. To turn off:
    iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
    Triple click the Home button should allow you to go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Scroll with three fingers if necessary.

  • My time capsule is blinking orange and I can not get it to stop.  I have done a hard reset and unplugged it but it continues to blink orange.  This all started because the time capsule stated it was delayed in backing up so I thought I would try to reset.

    My time capsule stated that it was delayed in backing up so I decided to do a hard reset on the time capsule.  Now I am getting a blinking orange light and I can not get it to go back to green.  I have had to hard wire the modem into my computer for connection.  I need some help please.  Thank you.

  • I have done a hard reset on my iPhone 4S 3 times and my iMessage will not turn on.

    Help me fix this. It's far past ridiculous.

    Not sure what a hard reset is.
    Assuming you mean a reset, then try a restore from backup.  If that does not solve then restore as new.

  • Has anyone actually done a factory reset on an Airport Express 802.11n?

    Apple is telling me two ways to do a factory reset of the new Airport Express with "N" capability. One representative says that you hold the reset button while plugging in the AE and then 4 green flashes should occur and you release the reset button. The other rep says you should hold the reset button while plugging it in and then a series of rapid amber flashes should occur and then you release the reset button. The website says flashing green......sigh.
    I have tried both and the green flash never happens while the rapid amber flashes happens and then I release the reset button. I have tried several times and this does not factory reset my AE as all information is still in there when I use the setup utility.
    So, if anyone has actually done one of these, which method is correct???

    I too had problems with Airport Utility not recognizing the Airport Express. I followed the instructions on the manual to hold the reset button for 10 secs and that did nothing. I did notice that around the 5 sec. mark the AE flashed the amber light repeatedly and then went back to a slow flashing. So instead of holding the button for 10 secs the next time around I only held it for 5 and voala!! It worked. After a few more resets I was able to finally set AE the way I wanted it (creating a new wireless network) and all is well now.
    BTW, this is the only I could get my new Macbook Pro's wifi to work consistently and without problems. Prior to this, it kept loosing the network connection and speeds were very slow.
    I hope this helps...

  • Im trying to reset my ibook g4. when I hit command s all I get is a black screen. is there another way?

    Im trying to reset my ibook. When I hit command s all I get is a black screen. And command r does not work.

    There are some references, over a period of time, for some vintage
    hardware models of Apple computers covering older software and
    the keyboard commands haven't changed all that much. Some are
    more directed at later OS X versions, in recent reference sites...

        We want you to enjoy the best reliability with your Droid 2 Jaxie! What specific problems are you having with the device? Is your software up to date?

  • When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Using my ipod nano -when listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past and have tried a hard reset but it can no longer find the printer.

    Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past. I have tried a hard reset but it still cannot find the printer.

    In addition to rebooting the router and the iPad, I would reset the printer as well. Unplug the printer from power and do the same with the router. Leave the router unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug the router in first and let it totally start up, plug the printer in again, and then reboot/reset the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. Your WiFi passwords, location services, device preferences all have to be re-entered. You will not lose any data or media whatsoever.

  • I have done a complete reset back to factory level and it still won't up load. Any help?

    Galaxy S4. I have done a complete reset back to factory level and it still won't up load auto back up. Auto backup starts and stops in about one minute. Tried both wi-fi and mobile data and tried difference t wi-fi locations.. Any help?

         Help is my middle name George9999. Let's get this taken care of for you once and for all. May I ask what backup service are you using? The most popular two are Backup Assistant, our service, and the one that's integrated with your Gmail account. If you are using a 3rd party service then please advise of the app/service. Also, can I assume that you are able to access the internet without any issues on the device? As you share the details then we can customize a solution for you. I'm looking forward to your reply.
    Thank you…

  • IPad ...first model .....safari and Crome keep crashing.....have done a factory reset....but problem continues"..help

    Safari and Chrome keep crashing....have done a factory reset......still happening....Why.....happens a lot with Video.....can someone help...thanks

    I would check to mKe sure you have enough free space on your iPad. If you are close to the limit on storage there may not be enough room for the iPad to operate efficiently.
    Also reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
