Power LED flashes, firmware updates good, and can still access the router

I have a wrt54G first version as there is no version number. About two months ago, the power led started dropping out and with a reset worked for a day or so, then, it became worse, every hour, and now only a couple of minutes. according to the help side of this site, the router will not be accessible, but it is. I upgraded to the 4.7.1.1 firmware, the problem continues, un plug and start it up. Any ideas? Could it be the 12 volt power supply going bad or over shooting the power?

yes, that is the level, verified at the router. the help side of this site says that if the led flashes like this that it would be corrupt an un accessible, but a restart of the router stops it, and it is accessible, moreover, the upgrade fails since that is the level at the router. just that it is happening about every 15 minutes (8/3) - could it be that comcast is sending packets of ??? to blow out routers? Thee state they don't like people using routers - that you are not supposed to use more than one computer with their broad band connection. Yes - serious, the e have said this twice in the last 6 months. Don't know what it could be, Saturday - Sunday it has not dropped out at all

  • I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.

    Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
    While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
    P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing. 

  • HT204406 Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6?

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • I have an IBook G3 900mhz 14 inch screen and can't  access the Internet

    This is making me crazy. I never had a problem getting on the Internet before Videotron wifi. I have taken the iBook, today, to McDonalds-no problem, to our shopping center-no problem, so I know air port is working. When I called Videotron support I got a lot nothing in the way of help. As the iPad works, the iPhone works it must be my iBook.
    I see that the Videotron wireless router uses a different encryption: WPA2-PSK and my only choice on the iBook is WPA Personal; that this might be the problem.
    Do you think this is the problem? If yes, can I change the iBook?
    Does anyone know how to reset the D-Link router to match the iBook?
    Please help!

    Hi Ivan,
    Thanks for the info. I thought that was the problem, but could not find any data. I think my choices now are:
    1. Find an AirPort Extreme card for my iBook
    2. Purchase a USB wifi adapter that works with OS 10.4.6
    3. Purchase a used MacBook
    I'm tending toward a MacBook. I am retired now and can't spend a lot of money so please advise on which used Intel model would give me the best cost/benefit.
    On the router that the iBook works on, it is a Router provided by Bell United States in our cottage in Florida and it is supposed to be equivalent to the D-Link but we are home now so I don't know the model. I can use my iBook here in Rivière -du- Loup at McDonalds the shopping center, etc. Just not with the new Videotron D-link Router. Videotron has the router locked so I can not access the router's web page to change the encryption. Additionally, Videotron doesn't want to do this for me or give me the password so I can change it. 
    Thanks, a really big thanks. Also, I wanted to give 10 points but hit the wrong button, sorry, I'll try to change it.

  • My iPod was made on Windows, now I have a Mac and can't access the music on the iPod to carry over to new iTunes. What to do?

    I am unsure whether it can be reformatted? On the summary when I plug in the ipod (pretty sure it's a nano 4th gen) it shows the format as Windows. However now I have a Mac, I can't access the music library on the ipod, and I'm not game to try 'export' as I don't know what it will do, and I won't sync as I will lose that music library. I am thinking of making an appointment to see the Apple staff at the shop but I'm not sure if I will need to get a new ipod in the end??

  • Multiple downloads and installs of Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402 and I still get the "vulnerable" update now message

    I'm running Windows 7-64 bit. Over the last 30 days or so, every time I check my plugins, I get the message that Shockwave Flash is vulnerable and that I need to update now to 11.4 r402.
    I have downloaded and installed at least a dozen times. I close Firefox to install, and when I restart and/or reboot, I still get the message that Flash is vulnerable. GETTING OLD!
    I've followed all the troubleshooting suggestions - I've completely uninstalled Flash and done the full re-install - same non-results.
    Flash crashes repeatedly daily - obviously it has a problem, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I really don't want to switch to IE (UGH!)

    I take it there IS no fix, since I have not had a reply, and 19 others indicate they have the same problem.
    There is new information on the "vulnerable" message today, and that doesn't work either.
    REALLY REALLY REALLY TIRED OF THIS!

  • Iphone apps updates hang and can't access apps

    I presently have 4 apps needing updates, but they're hung up saying "installing" but not installing.  Can't use the apps in this condition. Also can't delete them so as to reinstall them (they're all free ones).  When I push on one of the apps the other apps start jiggling, but not the one I'd like to uninstall and try again (which says 'waiting').  I've tried the method of hold both buttons, shut down, with and without signing out first.  Nothing changes.  One community response suggested resetting all the settings on the phone. If that's the best answer, I'd like to know exactly what kind of tedious work that would require.  Thanks

    Where did you change the settings in Kaspersky? I've got IS 10 and haven't found the setting to change that will let iTunes download the updates for the apps. Your response is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Willie

  • HT1539 why does the download only show in shared content on my ipad? and can i access the shared content without wifi ( example driving in car?)

    I am using the icloud from a pc, and sharing with my ipad ( 1st generation) new to this. I have downloaded some digital copies into my itunes account. On my Ipad one shows under movies and 2 show under shared. Y is this and can shared content be accessed without being contected to my home wifi?

    I did a little bit more research, and if I go into iTunes and choose to display TV Shows and Movies as a List, I get a nice, sortable list of movies and shows to which I can add columns. A column that you can add is called "iCloud Status."
    This column shows either Purchased or Ineligible for all of the titles. And this is where things get really confusing.
    Sure enough, the items that are "missing" from the iPads, iPhone, Apple TV, etc. are the Ineligible items, but that's not the confusing part. What IS confusing is which items are Ineligible.
    A good example is my Deadliest Catch collection -- I own the entire season 3 and 4 of DC; season 3 is Purchased and Season 4 is Ineligible. Back to the Big Bang Theory, I have five episodes from Season 4 -- 3 are Ineligible and 2 are Purchased.
    It makes absolutely no sense that episodes from the same season of the same show would be a mix of Purchased and Ineligible!

  • When I pull down my bookmarks I don't see the tabs I set up under uncatagorized bookmarks and can't access the bookmarks I've sorted there

    When I used Internet Explorer and used the pull-down menu, the categories I set up displayed and the bookmarks under each category displayed as well. I've now set up folders in Firefox under "uncategorized bookmarks," but when I pull down Bookmarks, neither the categories nor the bookmarks appear. Have I set up the categories properly? If so, how can I make the sorted bookmarks appear?

    "Show All Bookmarks" = "Organize Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 & 5.

  • I am new to ipad and iphoto.  I edited a photo and then selected undo, to return it to the original.  Now there is a spinning disk on the screen and the program is frozen. What can I do now?  I can still access the same photo through the camera roll.

    I am new to ipad and iphoto.  I edited a photo and saved it.  Then used "undo" to change it back.  The thumbnail shows the edited version and the larger window shows the original version.  There is a whirling disk over the orginal version as if the program is stuck saving the reversion back to original.  None of the other features will work.  Turning it off doesn't help.  leaving it on indefinetely so it will "complete saving" doesn't work.  I don't have some of the keys and choices outlined with other posts about stuck iphoto on Macs.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Quit the app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
