LIGHT IT GREEN....BUT!  (PLEASE HELP)

I believe I have set up the airport express correctly since I now have it plugged into my stereo and the light is green (trying to play iTunes). However, when I open AirPort Utility now, it can't find the device. Any idea? I'm about to pack it back up and return it tomorrow (All of this after an hour w/ an apple rep who really wasn't all that helpful). I'm running Windows Vista. Thanks for your help!

Unplug the power cord then plug it back in after 10 seconds. See if that works. If not then do a soft reset of your AirPort. There's a button in the back of the AirPort that only a thin needle like pin can be inserted. Insert that for 1 second then release. All I can say is that it worked for me.

  • Hello, My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on.  When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound.  I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works.  Please advise!

    Hello,
    My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on.  When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound.  I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works.  I first thought I needed a new battery because the lights at the back are all off, but shouldn't the computer turn on once the power adapter is hooked up and the light on the Magsafe adapter shows green?  I'm a computer doofus, so please be kind.  Please advise!  Thanks in advance.

  • My charger light is green but my computer isn't charging

    I am absolutely freaking out. My charger is plugged in, and the light is green, but my computer remains at 35%, it's not dying, but it's not charging. I have done MANY trouble shooting excersises, I've done the SMC thing, and that didn't work either. I've tried plugging it into many different sockets but obviously (since i'm asking) that hasnt worked either. As you can tell from the imformation below, its not fully charged, but it's also not charging. I dont know if this information helps but I've had my computer since October 2013, it's now April 2014, so thats 6 months I've had my computer. Also, usually as soon as i relaize it has reached 100% i take my charger out, though sometimes if my computer is dead and I'm leaving the house, i leave it sleeping but charging until i get back home, also i don't frequetly shut it down, i simply leave it on sleep. ADDITINALLY I don't live in a country that has ANY Apple stores or specialist.. so sadly going to see a professional is out of the question, unless of course i can speak with them on the phone?

    brittbien,
    no, that fact is not relevant to the problem.
    While waiting for your friend, you could take a look at your charger to see whether it was made by Apple or not. Is there an Apple logo in relief on two of its sides? Does one of the other sides have text that states “numberW MagSafe Power Adapter”, where number is either 60 or 85, and below it “Designed by Apple in California”, and at the bottom of the text there, a trademark and copyright claimed by Apple Inc.?

  • Apapter light is green, but MacBook is not fully charged.

    My MacBook's power adapter light stays green, but my computer is not fully charged, the indicator in the menu bar says 98%. I am very confused, anyone have a possible solution?

    The charging circuitry turns off once the battery is fully charged. It will come on again when the charge level drops below 95 percent. Until then the battery is fully charged so the charge indicator on the adapter will stay green.
    If your battery never attains 100 percent charge level it may be because you've never calibrated the battery.
    If you've calibrated the battery but it still will not charge fully or doesn't hold the charge, then the battery may be defective. You can have it replaced under your warranty by taking the computer to an Apple service center or calling AppleCare. Click on the Contact Support link at the bottom of this page for AppleCare's phone number.

    How is the express getting internet? What modem is it plugged into?
    How is the extreme setup? New extreme cannot be setup with 5.6 utility.. you must use latest 6.3. Which also means you cannot setup from computer using less than Lion .. or you must use iOS with latest utility but it has limited configuration cf the computer version.
    IPv6 is also needed.. turn on local link.

    i have setup my airport express the light is green but I get no wifi

    I have a macbook pro 13'' with MAC OS X. Recently bought and installed airport express when it does not drop the WiFi conncetion it works great. Getting frustrated with the fact that I keep losing my WiFi connection, when this happens I check my iphone and I can access the internet do problem while my Macbook pro cannot? After doing some research on the problem I found out that this is not an uncommon problem specially or those who have upgraded to MAC OS X. From what I understand there is a a bug in the WiFi connection chip! Am going to the Apple store today to see what they have to say. I hope there is a fix for this!

  • My MBP won't turn on. The charger light goes green but then dims out before it goes out again

    My MBP suddenly stopped working when I came back to it. I tried charging it with a couple of different chargers and different sockets. The charger light turns green but then slowly dims down before it turns off.
    I tried all key combinations for starting up - holding the power key for long, Cmd+Opt+P+R with power button, Cmd+R with power button, but none of them work. The laptop won't turn on.
    What could be wrong?

    If you are still under warranty call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 

  • Airport express light is green but is not working

    My airport express is on,light is green, all of my computers see it though Airport Utility however the computer that is 2 feet away has no internet abilities. It however see the house network,sign in but no not able to communicate with other house computers as well as the internet. 'The lights are on but no one is at home'

    If all the other computers can connect to the Internet, try power cycling your entire network.
    Power everyhing down on the network...all devices, order is not important
    Wait a moment, then start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
    Then start your AirPort Express the same way
    Continue starting the devices the same way until everything is back up
    Check for Internet connections on all devices
    Please post on your results

  • Probably Covered but PLEASE help

    I am scanned very old pictures into my ipad to resore using the new touch app. When I pinch and zoom to work on specific portions of the picture afterwards I zoom out and I have lost the rest of the picture.
    I have tried just using the up/down left/right arrow to move around but I must pinch/zoon in order to get that fine detail
    All I want to do is be able to keep the entire picture zoomed in and be able to work on it without loosing any portions of it. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    In order to be able to help you I need to ask some questions to be able to understand the issue you are experiencing.
    When you say that you have lost the rest of the picture - what do you exactly mean?
    Does the picture disappear and never comes back?
    When it's saved - have you lost data?
    Do you use a bluetooth keyboard when you speak of arrows?
    thanks,
    Ignacio

  • Light is green, but no internet connect

    I've restarted the computer, airport express, and unplugged the airport basestation. I've also plugged my computer directly into my apartment's ethernet port - which worked fine. The light is green, and this is an existing unit I've used at my old apartment.
    I have all software updates to my computer and the airport express station.
    There is another wireless network in the area and I can connect to that with no problems.

    Do I understand correctly - you have an Airport Extreme Base Station plugged into your apartment's cabled internet access port. You also have an Airport Express, presumably configured to either "join" or "extend" your Airport Extreme Base Station's wireless network?
    And your problem - is that you cannot connect to the internet when your Mac has established a wireless connection to your Airport Extreme Base Station?
    Start by confirming the connection between the Base Station and the apartment's ethernet port is to the WAN port on the Base Station - that's the one labelled with the "circle of dots" icon.

  • My power cord lights up green, but is not charging my macbook pro. Any idea what I should do?

  • I use RAW files from a Canon 1d Mark 4 and a 1dX. When I open the images they briefly look like the preview thumbnail and then suddenly lose about 1 stop of light, lose sharpness and turn slightly green. Please help

    I have used Aperture since it was launched and have for the last 4 years , only shot RAW . I have not encountered this problem before , but it is ruining my photography and would I therefore love some help please .

    William , thank you. I feel that the loss of half to one stop of exposure is the easiest issue to remedy. How do I fix the green tinge and the loss of sharpness ? I assume I merely use Aperture or a plug-in to re-sharpen the photos and adjust the colour balance back to the originals . Is there a fast way of doing this in bulk , as I have a project with several thousand files ?
    By the way...I sort of understand that HTP can change the colour range and the exposure  ( I think !! ) , but why does it soften the sharpness ?
