Internet working but yellow light is blinking

The internet is working but the Airport is blinking yellow.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and a message will appear to tell you why the amber light is blinking
If things seem to be OK otherwise, it might be something as simple as a notice that you have an update available for your AirPort.

  • My Time Capsule is Working but the Yellow Light is Blinking

    My Time Capsule backs up wirelessly fine but it just started blinking the yellow light.
    I performed a back up and it went smoothly but the light still blinks.
    What do I do to stop it or is it there a problem?

    See #A2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). Also see #D4 there.
    I'm having a similar problem as the original poster; 4 computers and one server backup to the Time Capsule and the drive is full -- but there doesn't seem to be any way to recover from this impasse other than nuking the entire backup and starting over from scratch!
    See #D2 in Troubleshooting. If the backups actually fail, see #C2 there.
    That sounds like a lot of data backing-up to one Time Capsule. What's the total being backed-up from each Mac, and the size of the TC? Time Machine usually needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up.
    Isn't there a way to just throw out the oldest files and keep going?
    Ordinarily, Time Machine will do just that, as long as you don't have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options.

  • I am trying to setup airport express but my computer is showing no airport base found and the yellow light is blinking, I am trying to setup airport express but my computer is showing no airport base found and the yellow light is blinking

    I plugged in my airport express to my modem and my phone and iPad are both showing no base found. The yellow light is blinking on the base

    I didn't realize you had to create a network name from your computer first I thought it was all done from the airport icon. Once I setup the network from settings on my phone it worked great. Thank you for your fast reply! :)

    I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

    Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

  • HT1551 My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

    Message is almost acting like a pop up.

    Hi
    I constantly get same message.  When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

  • Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click  Applyand test.
    If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

  • Touchpad not working indecate yellow light

    I think it is telling you that you need a firmware update.  Happend to me

  • My appears to be working but amber light flashes

    Just bought an airport extreme to improve my wifi for my apple tv and iPad  it seems to work but the light keeps flashing amber.
    Any ideas?

    The flashing amber light indicates that a setting needs to be adjusted or there might be firmware update for the product.
    What operating system are you using on the computer that you used to configure the AirPort Extreme?
    If you have a Mac, and you are not sure....
    Click the Apple icon in the extreme upper left hand corner of the screen and then click About This Mac to see the OS X version number.

  • My Time Capsule will not connect to my Mac? TC yellow light is blinking.

    Just bought aTC and it will not connect to my Mac. The yellow light is blinking on the TC.  Can you help?

    It is a problem for sure..
    Apple assembled this page of gogars to help you.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    It is however mostly just links some of them very old.
    Reset the TC to factory and start again.. make sure you have ipv6 set to link local only on wireless at least .. as well as ethernet if you use it.
    No luck do a fully manual setup..
    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

  • Laptop charger appears to be working but no light

    I have a HP laptop dv6-1215ee and i am having some charger trouble. My charger plugged in appears to be charging the battery and working fine, but the light right where i plug in the charger is not on. I cross checked it with my friends HP laptop charger and my laptop was working fine as well with light on and everything. It is just with my charger that the light does not come on.
    I plugged my charger in his laptop and the light didnt come on.
    I started my laptop without battery with my charger plugged in and it blinked twice before going off. the laptop did start working on it though. (with my friend's charger, the light stayed on without battery)
    voltage problems ? should i be using the laptop on that charger ? I am out of warranty.

    there are loads of people with the same problem you'd think apple would investigate what the problem is an let us all know there really **** with customer service / satisfaction. Have you tried putting it in the fridge for about ten minutes been reading alot about that on threads wouldnt do it meself now

  • Mouse not working no yellow light

    My touch pad isn't working and there isn't a yellow light in the corner notifying me that it's locked out. Everything was working fine when I shut down last night does any one have any suggestions.

    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple tech support and let them deal w/it.

  • Internet works, but is over 10 times slower... Is it possible to downgrade?

    As soon as I switched to Leopard, my internet connection became unbelievably slow (taking over 2 minutes to load every page). There were no other changes at that time that could have caused that, so I think it's a safe assumption that Leopard is somehow screwing over my internet connection. Has anyone else had a similar problem (I know there are other internet topics, but none seemed relevant), and would downgrading back to Tiger possibly solve it/is that even possible?

    There are a few possibilities:
    1. Assuming you are using wireless, have you checked for any firmware upgrades to your router?
    2. Leopard changes the way that DNS lookups are done. This can make some DNS servers unreliable. Have you tries using OpenDNS servers?
    3. Assuming wireless again, what kind of security are you using on your router? There are some demonstrated issues with some WEP secured routers. Often this is resolved by changing to WPA2.
    Leopard is well worth the upgrade - I really notice the difference when I go back to my Tiger PowerBook. (Quicklook and Spaces are very useful!).

  • Time Capsule blinks yellow,when I go to airport utility to set up, it Says This apple wi-fi bse station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to internet.  My internet works, but I can't back up anything. What do I do??

    Worked fine for about a couple of weeks after my son -law installed the time capsule.  I can access the Internet both from my wife's I phone and from my desktop.  I think that I need to get the DNS server numbers and put them in the two blanks; but where do I get them?  Thanks, Jim

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.
