LED flashes yellow forever! Arghhhh!!!

My Apple TV stopped working for no reason a few weeks ago. Nothing would appear onscreen except the apple logo for a few seconds, and then the screen would go black. Finally, I sent it back to Apple and they sent a replacement. Still no good.
The LED flashes about once per second forever. It never goes solid, never goes white, just flashes. I unplug it. I plug it in after a day. Nothing. I have tried everything . Has anyone out there experienced this?

A flashing amber light could mean a couple of things. Generally it means the unit is starting up. If it flashes amber when you press the remote it is because of an incorrect pairing of the remote. If it flashes amber and white alternatively it means there is a problem.
Of course if it simply flashes amber forever as you say it sounds as though it never finishes starting up. I know you say you unplug it for a day, but try it once more and remove all the cables from it, you only need wait 30 seconds before trying it again. If this doesn't work I'd return it for another unit.

Select 360 printer: Paper Out LED flashing

Hi,
My trusty Select 360 is refusing to print; the Paper Out LED is constantly flashing. My research on this topic seems to suggest that there is a problem with the logic board.
A colleague had a problem with his Select 360 printer and no longer uses it. He has offered me his logic board as a replacement.
Will replacing the logic board fix the problem and, if yes, is it hard to do???
Thanks in advance,
trmartin

I ran the diagnostics. I got all 4 LEDS which means nothing wrong. I then ran the printer normally, and I could print a document right after it had switched on, but after the document had printed, I got the two flashing yellow lights again.
Also, when I ran it in diagnostic mode, it only printed one page, rather than two, and that page had nothing on it.
I am just running the diagnostics again...
Right. On-Off-On-On. Which is fuser assembly error. I though it might be something like that because most of the solutions to the two flashing lights seem to be doing something to the fuser.
So it seems to be a tempramental fuser.

My Time Capsule will not work through Time Machine but need to back up because my hard drive is corrupt. I hard-wired it to my MacBook Pro and have been dragging files to capsule in finder window. Will I have problems since it's flashing yellow constantly

My Time Capsule is constantly flashing yellow and it will not preform periodic back-ups. When I tell it to from the icon on the top task bar, it freezes MacBook...every time. I am now dragging files from internal HD to TC found in Finder after hardwiring it to laptop treating it as an external HD. Can in trust it to store files and photos as my MacBook is telling me to back-up because my internal HD is corrupt and may need replacing?
Thanks in advance.

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.

My apple tv 1st gen will not boot up the light just keeps flashing yellow

I turned the power on to my 1st gen apple tv about a week ago and the indicator light just kept flashing yellow it would not boot up I tried unplugging it letting it cool and plugging it back in, I left it plugged in for the day and it still wouldn't boot, I listened for hard drive clicking there was none, I looked at the Ifixit teardown and saw what looked like a CMOS battery, I've had a pc before with the same symptoms and replaced the battery and everything worked fine after. If anyone can provide a second opinion it would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The most likely problem is a hardware failure.

LED flashing light and email notifications!

i just got the curve 9300 and before had the curve 8520 and the flashing LED is so dim i can barely see it on my new one!
i have the phone on silent at work and use the LED to tell when i have a notification and i cant even see it in daylight hardly.
is there any way to make the red light flash up brighter like on the older model?
my sister has the new bold and hers is fine and bright.
Ive got the free bebuzz app and even when i select my fave contact as BRIGHT pink it is still really dim light.
Also i have my hotmail account set up on my bb.
When i get a new email the notification icon appears at the top but i cant view the email in my hotmail box only if i go into the "messages" icon. this isnt how it was before either!
HELP?

so do they not all have a dimmer LED than other models then?
I do not have a 9300 device on hand. I have used one and tested one, and played with. The LED flashing was fine, with nothing less bright about it that I would have noticed or made me remember "oh this is dim".
misscandypop wrote:
you think its a fault on mine?
I don't know that, hence my suggestion to drop by where you purchased it and check another 9300 LED for comparison. There could certainly be some "personal preference" on this that you think it's not bright enough to you, but another 9300 might be brighter. There could some fault of your device. Do I think it's a fault on yours... I don't know. I haven't seen yours.
I'd also suggest that you UNinstall BeBuzz for now, completely uninstall, reboot your 9300 and test the LED from the native opertaing system settings.

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

I just purchased an airport extreme router to increase the range of my wifi. I have an imac with 10.5.8. I get a flashing yellow light on the base unit and it tells me I need airport utility to install yhe ubnit. Where do I get this and how do I do it?

So I assume that the original modem stays installed with the coaxial cable and the Exrtreme is in addition to that.
Yes, that is correct.
Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme? Are you sure you have it setup properly? Here is the setup guide:

Ensure you have everything setup properly. Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

Hi guys. I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it. I don't think I can

Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.

What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

Disk access LED flashing regularly

Hi,
I have a recent (<2 months) installation of the latest Arch Linux on an AMD64 computer and I have noticed that the HDD access LED flashes shortly every 2-3 secs. My partitions are formatted in Ext4 and this flashing occurs even when I am just in the console and not using the machine.
Is this normal or should I start worrying about rootkits etc?
My thanks in advance.

My thanks for the replies, I tried iotop and enabling block-dump but both will not work, I think its because I am using a custom compiled kernel and I don' have accounting enabled, apparently. But I will be looking into this soon, perhaps rebooting with the Arch kernel.

Since upgrading to 10.6.8, I can't sync to my calculator and my ipod nano flashes yellow. Could 10.6.8 have closed some ports needed?

I have a TI-92+ calculator, and the TI Connect software to sync it.
Since the 10.6.8 update, I can't access the calculator to add software.
The cable reads as present in System Profiler.
Also, my iPod Nano is flashing yellow but not mounting in iTunes.
I am wondering if 10.6.8 is blocking a port the TI Connect software needs.
The iTunes issue might be resolved by ripping iTunes out, deleting it, and reinstalling it.
But I tried that with TI Connect and it didn't help.
I just got a bunch of software to put on the calculator and can't access it !

It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

This is a user to user forum. you are not addressing Apple. You can give Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
BTW: You do not speak for "all users apple". I for one have a LONG list of feature I would rather see than a flash for the iPad.

Flashing yellow light?

I've been reading other posts regarding the problems encountered by some after upgrading the Apple TV to 2.2. I believe my problem is related, but not sure. Others have found relieve by holding the "menu" and "-" keys on the remote to regain control, but mine just shows the apple icon on the screen and the yellow light continues to flash indefinitely (I guess). It's been flashing for several hours and nothing else appears to be happening. I've tried powering it off several times and as soon as I plug it back in, the light begins to flash yellow continously again. The Apple icon doesn't appear until I do the "menu" + "-" sequence again....but that's it.
Also...and unrelated to this problem...does anyone else's Apple TV stay very hot as long as it's plugged in?
Thanks

The flashing yellow light combined with the failure to boot even after the power has been recycled would indicate a catastrophic failure. If it's totally unresponsive, there is nothing you will be able to do on your own to fix it. You should either call AppleCare or take it to an Apple store.
As for the heat, yes, it does get very hot. The top is reportedly designed to act as a heat sink, eliminating the need for a large, potentially noisy cooling fan.

My z10 led flashing red when charging and even at battery full it blinks red. no green at any note..

My z10 led flashing red when charging and even at battery full it blinks red. no green at any notification. But at below 10% charging level it blinks with a combination of red and green. Please send me any settings to be changed if.. at full charged no green light is blinking.. how many colours does z10 led have..and when it works and how to make those settings..or was my led not working fine? I am worried so much..plz help me

Your LED is fine, on the Z10 there is not "network signal available" green LED, as you're accustomed to from the legacy devices. At reaching 10%, the LED will blink orange.
Red for message or applicaiton notifications.
if you want to edit and create specific LED color combination, see the third party apps such as BeBuzz or Hub++

LED FLASH ISSUE !

Hello guys,im using an i5, my problem is about the led flash of iphone.LED flash is turning off itself when i tried to use it from the control panel.And my iphone is taking dark pictures in full of lightning room,when the flash is on.im not using a back plastic protector.is it a hardware bases or software bases problem? Thanks for ur help,sorry for bad English.

Hey there,
It sounds like the camera and LED are nto working as expected on your iPhone. I would use these troubleshooting steps to help isolate the issue from the following article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
