AX light is yellow and does not flash and doesn't change even when I press the "reset". Tried unplugging and reset -- still a solid yellow. I assume this is a goner?

Unfortunately, based on your description, I would have to second that your Express is a "goner." However, before giving up on the unit, be sure that you attempt a "factory default" reset at least 3x just to be sure.

Airport Express seems to lose connection after a while

My main wifi connection is through an Airport Extreme. The modem is connected to it. I also have in another room an airport express that I use as a bridge for my connection and also to use AirTunes.
Since a few weeks, the Airport Express seems to lose it's connexion after some use. It's always good in the morning, and after few hours, I realize I am no longer connected to the network. The airport light is always green, I see it in my disk utility, but I don't seem to be able to go online anymore. My solution at this point is to select my neighbor's network for few seconds, when I go back on my network, it works fine for an hour or so and I have to redo the process again.
The issue seems to be only with the Airport Express because when I'm in the other end of my house close to my Airport Extreme, I never have that problem.
Any idea what could be wrong with my Airport Express? Could it be a hardware problem? I just bought it 2 months ago. Should I go to exchange it?
Thanks for any help.

My AirPort connection worked fine when I first set it up a couple of days ago; then it stopped working yesterday: it just gives me the blinking amber light.
Strangely, though, when I use Network Diagnostics in Safari, I get green lights against Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP, but red lights against Internet and Server.
How can ISP be working but not Internet and Server? Also, if I pull out the the cable going into the AirPort and plug it directly into the LAN port on the MacBook, it connects to the internet fine.
Any comments/help appreciated.

I recently bought an Airport Express and connected it to my TimeWarner modem. Am able to surf the internet using my MacBook Air, iPad, and Apple TV, but the AirPort Express has a blinking amber light. How could I change it to a green light?

√using successfully airport express for internet/ when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices seen????airport wifi devices

using sucessfully airport express for internet
when hooking up new airport extreme light glows green, but does NOT appear in devices sesn in 5.6 airport wifi devices
wanting to use extreme at base and express in another part of the house

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.

Airport utility will not detect airport express, there is no green light on airlport express solid yellow then just a momentary green

I had airport express set up for a wireless network in a hotel room. Forgot password when I got home and reset but now the yellow light stays on with only a momentary green then back to solid yellow. Any ideas. Airport utility does not see it.

Unfortunately, this type of symptom is usually a signal that there is an internal electrical problem with the Express.
Hopefully, it is simply locked up and can be reset.
Try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Power down the AirPort Express
Leave it off at least 10 minutes, longer will not hurt
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 10-12 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button
Allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart.
If things are back to normal, you will see a slow blinking amber light after 40-45 seconds.
If you continue to see the solid amber with short green flash after a few reset tries, I am afraid that the device has failed and will need to be replaced.

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What are my next steps?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
Thanks

Hi ..
The battery may need replacing.
Check the battery maximum cycle count > Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count
And check the adapter > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

HT3986 My keyboard backlight doesn't work on windows 7 Ultimate but it does on mac OS X Lion version 10.7.3. When I press the keys on keyboard to change the backlight, it just shows me a null on the light bar and doesn't let me turn on the brightness.

Are there any updates that I need for the boot camp or do I have to go to some settings.

When you say "null on the light bar" do you mean that there is an on-screen indicator that appears when you press the brightness keys, but it doesn't change?
Which Mac are you using? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (2010) and those keys seem to work fine for me. But I just installed Boot Camp, so I might be using newer drivers than you are.
Are you using Boot Camp 4? This just came out with Lion. It allows for automatic updates to the Windows drivers and support software. If you installed Boot Camp before you upgraded to Lion, then you might need to upgrade your Windows drivers to Boot Camp 4. See here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp15553.html
If none of this applies to you, then I'm not sure what to do about it, other than talk to an Apple service rep.

My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet explorer page. It presents the google home page with a grey filter over it and does not respond to any touch or key. All other internet dependent functions seem to be working (i.e. mail, various APPs etc.)

My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet access page. It comes up through a light grey filter and does not respond to any touch or keys. All other internet dependent functions seem to be working fine (mail, various APPs). How do I "unfreeze"?
thanks

Geoff-
Go to Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
Another thing you can try is to double-click the Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and find the Safari icon. Press on it for a couple of seconds until it starts to wiggle. A red minus sign will appear on each icon. Press on Safari's minus sign to remove it. This may clear its memory of the bad Google page.
If this does not help, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

I opened iPhoto today and found I had NO PHOTOS in the library. After a day of reading, I seem to have found them. However, panic does not begin to describe my emotions. They continued to come up on the screen saver, so I knew they were in the computer

I opened iPhoto today and found I had NO PHOTOS in the library. After a day of reading, I seem to have found them. However, panic does not begin to describe my emotions. They continued to come up on the screen saver, so I knew they were in the computer somewhere. What I don't understand is what happened?? I am now busy backing them up into my external hard drive, again, but just now including the ones from about August 2011 to now. I don't back up often enough, but thank gosh I haven't lost them all. My question is this: What is the best way to get them back into iPhoto? I have an old version of iPhoto and I was prompted to update to '08, which I thought I had and BOOM - all the photos were gone when I said "no". I have lost all my albums and wonder what it will look like if I put them back in? They were found in the iPhoto Data folder. I looked it up in iPhoto Help.

They were found in the iPhoto Data folder.
These are not your Photos. They are just the thumbnails that show in the iPhoto Window. They are tiny and not useful for anything. Look for your photos in the Originals Folder.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'. Are any Libraries listed?

Hello:
That is some sort of anomaly that I have also noticed. On the rare occasions when that happens, a restart corrects the issue.
