No orange or green light

mac pro OS X10.7 does not charge anymore , no green or orange light indicator

Try to do an SMC reset ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 ). Else try with another charger (friend, dealer, Apple Store) just to verify. You may have to purchase a new charger.

Flashing Orange / Green Light

I have a 512 MB Shuffle that I bought about 2 years ago. I haven't used it for a while, and decided to dust it off. It loads correctly to the computer, but I get the flashing green orange light when I press play. In reading another post, I checked to see if the files are compatible, and they are. I've also got the latest version downloaded. Can someone give me a clue as to what to do or am I screwed?

I have the same problem, but mine doesn't show up as a drive on either my PC or my Mac, not in iTunes either, and it doesn't play music.
I ran the utility, but it didn't change the status of the flashing orange and green lights.
Is there any way to at least get it to the status of just a storage drive?

Hey Angelo_here,
I'd run through these steps:
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

Power adaptor light flashing orange to green

starting this morning my power adaptor seems to have an issue. the light keeps flashing back and forth bewteen orange and green. and therefore the computer wont really charge. it will operate plugged in this way though.
last week part of my cord did get damaged. the little bumpy part right next to the plug that goes into the computer. the first little bump of the three somehow came off. there does not seem to be a hole or tear in the cord under where it was though.
what purpose does that section serve? is that what is causing my problem?
any ideas?
my computer is one year and one month old, grrrr no longer under waranty...

Hi Michelle,
Given the sloppy design of the iBook, including its power adapter, I would suggest you bite the bullet and buy a new adapter. Otherwise your iBook's DC board may be damaged.
Resetting the PMU helps, as does unplugging both ends of the pwr adapter, waiting for at least 1 minute and plugging it back in. BUT, since you're sure the cable is broken, GET A NEW ONE!
I had a similar problem with my power adapter for my 3-month old iBook, except that the light would suddenly not turn green at all. The cord and the rest of the adapter were intact. I was lucky I still had 7 months of warranty left and got a new adapter from Apple. So far everything is ok.
Good luck, Michelle!

Orange and green flashing is unfortunately a failure indication.
How old is the Time Capsule?

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

I have a first generation ipod shuffle and the light keeps turning from orange to green and blinking back and forth. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Wrong forum. This is the iPad forum.

TS1367 My charger connects with my macbook with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery.

My charger connects with my computer with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery. The power source to keep it on is the power adapter and that it's "Not charging" on the battery settings. And my charger seems to charge other computers fine.
The part of my mac where the adapter (L-shaped, magnetic) attaches is a bit damaged - a small piece of the white case/body around the part where the adapter attaches is broken off, but that's just an outer damage.
I don't know what's wrong with my computer, and if anyone has had a similar experience or knows what's going on, it'd be tremendously helpful!
Thank you!!

Hi Christopher,
Doubtful an upgrade would fix a hardware issue. If you are thinking of upgarding to Lion, best to do all necessary maintenance first.
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If that doesn't help try here > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

Blinking green light and then orange and green at the same time...

I have an Ipod shuffle that was working good before and I don't know why I let it one month and after when I connected it to the computer Windows and Itunes didn't recognized it. It seems to function good because I can listen the songs that were before in the Ipod, and when I don't have battery I connect it to the computer and it seems to charge because after I have battery. The only thing is that when I connect it I don't listen that windows recognize it (like when I connect my USB key) and Itunes neither. Moreover there is a green light blinking two seconds and after green and orange at the same time (little lights) during one second. I can't restore it because it doesn't appear in Itunes.
Do you know what can do that???
Thx

Faites ceci:
- Retirez le Shuffle du socle
- Cliquez sur Démarrer, puis Bouton droit sur "Poste de Travail" et prenez "Gérer" puis double-cliquez sur "Services et applications", puis double-cliquez sur "Services"
-Localisez "Ipod Service", double-cliquez dessus, et cliquez sur le gros bouton "Arrêter" (Statut de Service Smile
-Rebranchez votre ipod, sur le socle.
-Sous Windows, effacez l'intégralité de son contenu. Ou alors faites un bouton droit sur l'icone du "disque" puis formattez.
-Lancez iTunes
-Ce dernier va détecter l'ipod et va vous demander son nom, avec une case en dessous "Remplir automatiquement"
-Laissez cette case validée !
-Pendant que l'ipod se remplit (il convient d'avoir des morceaux dans la bibliothèque iTunes) allez dans longlet "Réglages" de l'ipod, sous iTunes
-Cochez la case "activez l'utilisation comme disque dur"
-Cliquez sur appliquer pour valider cette option !
Vous pouvez maintenant éjecter votre ipod (ne le retirez pas du socle, cliquez sur le bouton approprié sous itunes !) et voilà, tout fonctionnera à merveille !

Device not recognized by Windows or iTunes - Blinking green light

When I try to connect my iPod shuffle to my computer (Windows XP), it's not recognized by Windows or iTunes. (i.e. device does not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes) While in the USB port, the Shuffle's green light blinks incessantly. My wife uses an iPod on this machine (under separate user name) and has no problems.
I've tried updating software (iTunes, iPod), restarting my computer and resetting the iPod to no avail. My machine is not on a network. The USB port(s) work fine as I can use my memory stick (no USB cable) with no problems. I've tried connecting my Shuffle under my user name as well as my wife's. Same problem.
Also, I had my Shuffle setup on an old computer (PC, Windows 2000) and it still works fine plugging into that. (I'm getting rid of it soon, hence why I'm discovering these new problems).
Please advise. Since my Shuffle is over a year old, I am not eligible for online chat or phone support without paying for an Apple Support agreement.
I know there's another thread with the same issue that was not resolved on the discussion board.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Recently I used my ipod at work all night, just like normal. After work on the way home, like normal, I plugged it into my aux port on my car's head unit, and plugged it into power. 10 minutes later, in the middle of going over Ortgea Highway(hiway 74 between Orange and Riverside Counties), it just suddenly stopped working. When I plug it into any of my computers at home, nothing happens, it is not recognized or seen. When I plug it into power, it displays either a "sad ipod icon" or a battery with exclamation mark(!) icon. I have brand new power adapters both for the car and home, plus brand new usb cables, thinking that would help. It hasn't and now, since I opened those packages, I am out that $$ and ******. Since I received this unit as payment for electrical services rendered, I have no idea how old it is. Does anyone have any ideas? ([email protected])

Airport Extreme - green light, but no internet

I've been using my airport extreme for 2 years, connected to an Alcatel-Lucent modem.
A couple of months ago I bought 2 airport express devices and cabled them to the extreme in bridge mode, working just fine.
After a 2-week trip I returned home and I found that all the devices showed a green light in the Airport Utility, but the internet was orange.
I could connect myself to the network, play music in my airplay sound system, but couldn't surf the web or use my apple tv.
Now internet is changing from green to orange every 5 minutes.
I tried everything that I have read in different forums, but with bad results.
Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much.

I tried working on my computer with a wired connection from the modem itself and it works perfectly.
If you mean that you have the computer connected directly to the modem and things work OK, then leave things "as is" for at least a few hours.....longer would be better....and report on your results at that time.
Then, we will do the next check.

No orange or green light
