The green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

the green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

Unfortunately, green blinking is usually a symptom of an internal electrical problem on the AirPort Express.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort:
Power down the Express
Wait ai few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug it back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
You want to see a slow blinking amber light at this point, indicating that the Express has been reset to factory defaults. You can reconfigure it again now.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and this does not help, I am afraid that the Express is defective and will need to be replaced.

My itunes are only playing on two of my three aiport express. Why? The green light is on Airport Express. The WiFi is connecte to my commuter. I am hearing music in the other rooms...

My itunes are only playing out of two of my three airport express. Why

Ok, it sounds like what your are trying to do, up-and-above your current configuration, is to both extend your Internet connectivity to additional wireless computers AND stream iTunes to a stereo...correct?
If so, your AirPort Express (AX) will need to operate as either a Remote or Relay Base Station in Apple's Wireless Distribution System (WDS) mode. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454) In order for this to work, you would have to use either another AX or an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). However, there are some other 3rd-party routers (like Linksys) that may work as well. (ref: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121820)
What is the make/model of your current wireless router...and does this connect directly to your ISP's DSL/Cable modem?

I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is flashing and so it is not being recognized. I have been on the computer and gone to airport utility and it is simply not showing up at all. What can I do?

Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

I have macair bought 2009. Bluetooth connect with mouse and keypad not working. It used to work. Batteries are good. Green light flashes on each device, but no connection. Any suggestions to help me here? Thanks.

Dear Community,
I have a macbook air bought new in 2009. Since 2011 I only use it occasionally as I now mainly use my iMac. The mouse and keyboard that came with the macbook air used to work fine with bluetooth connection to the macbookair, but now they don't. The batteries are good. The green light flashes showing it is seeking other bluetooth device to connect to. But they wont connect to my macbookair. What could the problem be? Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. Yes I checked that already and BT enabled. Yes, external keyboard. But I just moved the computer to different part of room and bingo the devices paired and connected. So problem now solved. Thanks for offering your help.

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.

I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug in, itunes recognizes it but it will not charge. The green light flashes a few times but then goes out. I'm not sure if the battery is dead or if something else can be done. Any advice?

To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery. Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery.

I have set up apple tv and airport express but cannot get apple tv to recognize the airport express wireless. Any solutions?

Airport Express set up a wireless network in my classroom. Apple TV is working but only recognizes the school network. I would like a solution other than connecting the two with a cable. That would require hanging cables since I am using apple TV to run a video projector.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting articles below and verifying that you have the Apple TV and Airport Express configured properly.

My Thunderbolt display is no longer powering on. I don't have the green light on the charging cable.

I came back from a trip, and there was no power being supplied to my Thunderbolt dispay. I checked all of the cables and powercords, but nothing seems to re-establish power to the system.

Hey bertinot,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your Thunderbolt Display. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:

Time machine cannot see time capsule event though I have a green light

I have a green light on my time capsule but time machine on my macbook pro cannot no longer see the time capsule. i have gone through the procedures to find it and reset the time capsule, only again to get to the solid green light stage but time machine still cannot see it.
can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? Thanks

I had the same problem this morning. Anyone have any ideas?

I just purchased a wireless connection for my Tivo but the signal strength from my airport express does not allow the tivo to load data. How do I increase the signal strength?

I just purchased a wireless N network adapter for the TIVO premier and am trying to use my apple airport express to connectand it is in the another room. I am only receiving one bar of strength on my network adapter. How can I raise the signal strength of my airport express.

There are several things that might help, not all of which would be feasible depending on your situation: (1) Move the TiVo unit and AirPort Express closer together. (2) Use another AirPort Express to "extend" the network of the first AirPort Express. Put the second AirPort Express half way between the first AirPort Express and the TiVo unit. (3) In the general case, Power-Line equipment might allow the TiVo unit to get a good signal, but it's likely that the Ethernet port of your AirPort Express is probably connected to your broadband modem, so that solution wouldn't work for you. (4) Changing the band or channel that the AirPort Express is using might help. If the TiVo unit is connection on the 5 GHz band, try one of the three-digit channels, which are allowed to use higher power.

802.11n Airport Express won't connect to Internet

Hi,
I have recently purchased a new 802.11n Airport Express which works fine with the Airport Utility, but will not connect to the internet through the Ethernet.
It is plugged directly from the cable model into the 802.11n via Ethernet.
I know that it is not the modem/internet service provider because when I pop my old 802.11b/g (model A1084) everything works fine, and I connect no problem.
The settings appear the same, but with the old model I get internet, with the 802.11n I get the flashing amber light. If I set it up manually, and input the same IP, Subnet Mask, and Router number that is working for the 802.11b/g model, I get the solid green light, but no internet.
Originally, I assumed I'd just picked up a lemon, so I exchanged it and I am getting the exact same results so I must be doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
I wanted to extend my network, but use the 802.11n as the internet input so I could take advantage of the faster speeds.

Welcome to the discussions!
You mentioned that you had a cable modem. Although the ISP will claim otherwise, in many cases it will take 20-30 minutes for a modem to completely reset. The reset is needed whenever you change the device that is directly connected to the modem.
Power down the modem and pull the battery if it has one. Power down the rest of the system as well.
Power up the modem first and let it run for 5-10 minutes, then the Express for a few minutes, then your computers.
Once you get things going, we can look into the next puzzle of extending the network. Please post back when you have the "green" light and internet.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day). The green light will go amber but the internet service (ethernet cable) will still be fine. The wireless icon on devices with go away.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day) The green light will go amber, but the internet service is still ok if your using an ethernet cable directly plugged in. When the light goes amber all devices that is using wireless will lose there wireless icon. The only way to get the green light back is to unplug the Airport device and replug it back in. I tried the reset on the back but still no luck. What is the fix?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
