Outage in my Area - now constant flashing Orange l...

Apparently, last night my internet went down and was area specific.
Since then it's been repaired, but my HH3 refuses to connect.
My OpenReach modem has 3 solid green lights, but my 'b' on my HH3 is constantly flashing Orange.
I've Reset my modem, losing all my settings and forwarded ports, switched both devices off for over an hour, but yet the problem persists.
Totally screwed HH3?
Phoned BT and was told to go through the rigmaroll again - so I did. Same result.
The Call centre had no idea and have escalated the issue, still leaving me without any connection.
I'm using 3G tethered to my PC to get online at the moment.
Is there anything else I can try to get back online or do I just have to wait for an engineer to be scheduled?

plug the modem into your pc and set up a pppoe connection
if it connects then the router is faulty
if not then you need an engineer

Broadband just gone down - constant flashing orang...

Hi Been having constant disconnections for a while now but but then a stable adequate speed. However HH4 went down 30 mins ago and BB is still down with flashing orange led on HH. I'd provide diagnostics but obviously can't connect to the hub. Status says no problems in the area & already tried switching the HH off. Any ideas? TIA.

you should not need an internet connection to access the hub manager

Power Adapter flashes orange light and won't power on.

I woke up this morning to find that my power adapter's light is off and it is still plugged into the surge protector.
1. When I push the button on the bottom, I get all 4 lights saying that it is charged.
2. When I plug the laptop with another adapter, I get a constant flashing orange light from the power adapter. Mine will flash orange several times and then go black. It's like it's trying to communicate something to me but I don't understand its language!!
3. I have tried resetting the computer, that didn't work.
4. I have tried powering up without the battery in the machine, that didn't work.
Any ideas out there?? I'm thinking that I need a new logic board but I also haven't backed up my info. Any assistance on either of these issues?

I found out that someone had spilt chicken soup on my laptop and it pretty much destroyed the logic board, optical drive, processor and other technical stuff.

On your friend's computer with an internet connection, log into the Mac App Store with your ID and download Yosemite from the Purchases section of the Mac App Store. The make a bootable USB install media using

Then boot from that on your computer and install
You need an internet connection to install via Recovery mode

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported, Isk this of both 02 and apple, who's phone is this and what right do you have to lock a previously unlocked phone? very angry

Where did you get these phones?
These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out.

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

Airport Extreme Flashing Orange Light - No Base Stn ID

Here is a huge problem I hope someone can help solve.
AE working fine for over a year. Hooked up new HD to it, got a requester asking for answers on this device. Clicked something (now I cannot for the life of me remember what).
Now no matter what I do the AE only goes to a flashing orange light, after power off/on, after power on reset, after power off reset, no Base Station ID found on any scan, have powered off/on the DSL modem.
No matter what is tried it always comes back to a flashing orange light and no way of accessing the base station to start over again.
Temporarily on a hard cable to make contact here. No hints in the manual, nothing more I can find on line for troubleshooting this.
How can I access and reset the base station so it is recognized??
This seems rather severe for one requester selection and now nothing!
Thanks in advance
Geoff

Finally some joy on this issue!!
Here is my workaround (or solution).
On the Western Digital HD there was a .pdf buried on it with the real hint. That is the HD comes preformatted in FAT32.
So first I connected it directly to the Mac rather than the Airport Base Station. This allows it to be seen on the desktop AND read by Disk Utility. It also allowed it to be read by Time Machine. However I chose to reformat it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then the Time Machine initial backup was done through the Mac. When completed I plugged the HD back into the Base Station, went to Finder/Go/Connect To Server using the smb://10.0.1.1 address. Voila, The icon is back on the desktop and readable by Time Machine
I suspect this all could have been done without backing up through the Mac first. Just happened that is the way I did it.
The Key seems to be to reformat the HD to other than FAT32 for the Airport end of things. Seems to me that was the problem I had when I was backing up both PC and Mac to one HD. FAT32 as I recall will not work that way.
So a solution that works. May require the HD on Base Station to be mounted each time you power up. Minor inconvenience once you are going though.
Cheers

The Flashing Orange Power Light Of Doom! [HH3]

I've had no internet service for a week now, on Infinity 2 with HH3.
All lights on the white modem are green, the hub won't even start, just goes to a steady orange, then after about 15 seconds, a continuously flashing orange power light, and stays there. The other lights are dark. Power cycle doesn't work, holding down the reset button doesn't even reset it.
After lengthy "troubleshooting" on the phone with India, I received a replacement HH3 yesterday, plugged it all in and got all blue lights for all of 3 seconds and then - wham - reset to flashing orange light, which now stays there no matter what I do. The issue was escalated to "Tier 1 support" by India yesterday, but heard nothing.
No service problems reported in my area according to the BT website, but India seemed adamant that it was a network issue (after being adamant that it was a faulty hub earlier in the week...).
This is getting very frustrating now, anyone have any idea what could be causing this ??! I really just want an engineer to come out but India wouldn't arrange that.

It should be quite easy to prove by bypassing the hub and connecting the modem to the PC, then setting up a broadband PPPOE connection.
Here's some instructions provided by Rygg
try a direct connection to the modem. This will rule out your homehub and internal wiring as the fault.
1: Remove the homehub from the modem
2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
4: Connect to the Internet (the top option) then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
5: Username [email protected] and the password as anything you want
6: connect, if it cannot connect, just keep pressing try again if this happens and it will eventually connect.

If not, I'll try again

Flashing orange lights between steady blue

Hey guys!!
I've had BT broadband for 18 months and never had any problems. BT home hub 2.0
This morning, my internet was dropping (flashing orange lights on braodband and phone icons on the hub). I rang BT and they informed me there was an issue in my area and it would be fixed in a few hours.
I never fully lost service...it just kept dropping out and flashing the broadband and phone icons orange and then reconnecting again and going to blue.
I rebooted my router at the time they said, 4pm. At this time, the service status website said the problem had been fixed and so did the person I spoke to on the phone.
Now its 730 and im still having the same problems. My lights are all blue, and then every 20-30mins or so the broadband and phone lights will flash orange for 20 seconds and then finally go back blue. Sometimes I have to reboot the router to get them back to blue.
Is this just because there has been a recent problem and the router is just settling down again and getting the best speed back? Or something else?!
Thanks

The orange flashing light only happens when a resync happens and the speed can go up or down.

Time Capsule flashing Orange

Hello,
I've tried fixing this issue reading other posts but couldn't figure it out... maybe someone can help??
I have Time Capsule and use it to back up my files as well as my network router. It is connected wirelessly to my iMac as well as with my Macbook. For whatever reason, every now and then it starts to flash orange instead of the usual green light. The internet connection still works fine and the backing up works fine, it's just flashing orange. I've read that this is the TC telling me something isn't quite right but I can't figure it out... Does anyone know how to fix this? If I unplug the TC for a minute then reconnect, it goes back to green only to start flashing orange a few days/hours later....
Thank you in advance!

Hello Blanch212. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
(ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation. Then please post back with your findings.

Broadband light flashing orange. A "copper line fa...

Hi all
on Friday 20/01/12 i was using the internet as normal, no weather problems or anything abnormal happening and then as i woke on Saturday 21/01/12 i noticed my broadband (hub 3) had a blue power light, a blue wireless light but a flashing orange light, i followed the steps on the website and restarted my homehub but the still had the same problem. i then changed the adsl filters still had the same problem even tried changing the adsl lead from the socket to the hub but still had the same problem i tried in 3 extension sockets and then also the main bt openzone socket but the problem was still the same.
i then called the bt help line where they made me re iterate the same proccesses twice of what i had already done to then finally test my line and tell me there was a "copper line fault" and the problem would be reapired by 26/01/12. i recieved the email letting me know i would be able to track the fault however when i tried the "track a fault" link it gave me the error message of that the "Sorry we cant complete your request at the moment due to technical error. Please try again" and since the 21/01/12 i have still not recieved a fault update and after many attempts at "trying again" still unable to track the progress.
The internet is crucial to my work and i need it to be running as soon as possible. i live in an apartment and have asked my neighbours if their phone line isnt working but theirs is still working and mine is the only one that isnt, i can't seem to understand how this has happened and why mine is the only one not working, and now with the phone line and broadband not working, my work will be suffering and the implications of not having the internet will be a big impact.
Is anyone else having a problem with tracking their fault or had this fault before and could offer some guidance?
really need this fault to raised as urgent and not being repaired until 26/01/12 could cripple my work.
Also for the days you are without bt vision, broadband and calls is there a way to gain compensation?
Any help or advice would be brilliant.
Thanks Bradley Kent

If you live in an area with good 3G mobile coverage, you could buy a pay as you go broadband dongle.
If the Internet is vital to your work, you should have a backup plan, as some major faults can take weeks to fix.
Good advice for a lot of people.
For me the Internet/email is a hobby/pastime. If it went down for a few days it would be an annoyance/inconvenience to me but thats all, but even i have a Three 3G MiFi wireless modem standing by. Just connect up, top up and go.

I got a canon EOS rebel T3 camera yesterday and it flashed orange and I can't take anymore pictures!

So, yesterday I got a Canon EOS Rebel T3 and it was working perfectly fine and I was just getting the hang of it! But then all of a sudden i don't know/remember pressing anything and it flashed orange when I went to take a picture and it did it again and it wasn't the battery because the batterie was halfway and I don't know what to do... It doesn't make a noise or anything when I click the shutter button! Please help me I'm freaking out!

Hold on don't send it anywhere until you:
Remove the battery for 30 minutes or so. Make sure it is fully charged and reinsert it.
Use a known good SD card. <----very important
Make sure you go into the menu and set everything back to factory defaults. (Check your manual)
Make sure the dial on the top is set to the green square.
Now try it again!

1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id’s and I can’t log in and access those purchases. I want to get back to being able to use one id and password and be able to access those purchases.
2) When I upgraded my iPhone 3gs, to the latest version 5.0.1 (9A405), is when I noticed that i couldn’t update my applications. There are two names/accounts on the phone and prior to the update there was just the one. I have tried entering every conceivable password that I have ever used and get the incorrect password error every time. The apps on the iPhone are apparently associated with several/different accounts. I just want to get everything back to the way it was. One id and one password with purchases associated with just one account that can be updated on my computer as well as my iPhone.

I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately" So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

I can no longer access my Airport Express Base Station. When I plug it in, it keeps flashing orange. I cannot see it in the Airport Utility.

How do I fix this

If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'
