Powerline adapters both turn red

After switching off my powerline adapters overnight, they are ok for a few days and then both adapters ethernet and status lights turn red. Does this mean they are faulty or need replacing?

Hi Tyringmybest,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. You should be able to switch off the adaptors without any issues. Have you managed to get this sorted yet? If not drop me an email with your details. You’ll find the “contact us” form in my profile.

Powerline Adapters problem

Hi there, my powerline adapters have worked perfectly until today. For some reason I lost internet connection so tried to reset the adapters, which I am sure has now made it worse!
On my adapter connected to my home hub I have all three green lights on (AP, Ethernet (Flashing) and Status) and on my powerline adapter near my computer I only have the Green Status light on.
I have no internet connection and my computer doesnt even seem to be recognising a network.
I have changed all the ethernet cables with no help. Any help and advice would be great.
Cheers,
Adam

That points to a faulty Ethernet connection between the Powerline adapter and your computer.
Have you checked to make sure that both ends of the cable are pushed hard in until they click. They should be held in place by a clip which you squeeze to release.
If the clip is missing or broken, as easily happens, they you will have to replace the cable.
If the cable looks fine, then try another cable.
Also check that the Ethernet adapter on your computer is still enabled. Its quite easy to disable it by mistake from the network properties.
If all else fails then it could be a faulty Ethernet port on the Powerline adapter. You can prove this by swapping them over and seeing whether the Ethernet light works at the other end.

BT Infinity and Zyxel Powerline Adapters - connect...

Hi,
I recently upgraded the Infinity and also moved house. So now I have the HH3 with BT Infinity. I use Zyxel Powerline adapters, but struggling to get a connection.
I'm using the following to connect to the HH3 http://www.zyxel.com/uk/en/products_services/pla4225.shtml?t=p and connecting through the Giga or Ethernet inputs on the back of the HH3 but when I try to connect my PC/Laptop to the Powerline adapter in my bedroom it cannot find the network.
Any thoughts? Should I be connecting the Powerline Adapter to the HH3 or the white router BT supply? Do I need to configure something when setting up the Ethernet connection with my PC? I'm using my BT account credentials [email protected] and password but it's not connecting.
Any inspiration/experimentation welcomed.
Thanks.

Should I be connecting the Powerline Adapter to the HH3 or the white router BT supply?
Do I need to configure something when setting up the Ethernet connection with my PC? I'm using my BT account credentials [email protected] and password but it's not connecting.
Normally, connect one powerline to the HomeHub and the other to the PC. If the PC has been set up in the standard way, it will then get a local ip address by DHCP from the HomeHub. You might go to your PC ethernet adaptor settings and make sure they are set up for 'dhcp' and 'get DNS setttings automatically'. You won't need to enter any credentials in the PC for this method. You shouldn't go near the 'connect to the internet' dialog; it should just work automatically.
If you only want to connect a single PC, you could connect the first powerline to the white modem and leave out the HH3 completely. You would then need to put credentials into the PC: the normal thing there is to enter user '[email protected]', and the password doesn't matter. That goes into a 'connect to the internet' dialog.
Make sure the 'internet' or whatever lights are blinking on both powerlines, otherwise there is a problem with those, or the bedroom ring is not connected closely enough to the other ring. Unlikely, I had a perfectly good connection through different rings and different fuse boxes on different floors with similar zyxel powerline (only single ethernet ones); at least until one stopped working altogether.

Configuring Airport Express as Roaming Network from a Time Capsule via Powerline Adapters

I am having an issue configuring an Airport Express to extend my WiFi network as a roaming network via powerline adapters. I have configured as other threads have advised
Open AirPort Utility - Select the AirPort Express - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the TC network
No check mark is needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same exact setting as the TC
Wireless Password = Same password as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save setings and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
The only difference is I cannot see an option under Connect Using for Ethernet here there is only the usual DHCP etc
After configuring my Apple TV can see the network and says it establishes an internet connection but Home Sharing does not show my iTunes library but will connect to internet radio.
I cannot get any other WiFi device to connect to the Airport Express but they can see it. The TC and Airport Express have been updated to latest firmware.
Any advice appreciated.

Please download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
You can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the version that you want to use.
6.0 is interesting to look at, but 5.6 has much more functionality.

My iphone 4S screen turns red and dim

hi everyone
i have an issue on my iphone 4S display. The screen turns red sometimes brown and I can barely see the text and the icon of eact app. It basically dims as well. I tried to reboot it, still doesnt work.
please help me to overcome this.
Thank you
iphone 4s ios 8.1

Howdy Atika Azmi,
If your phone screen is still intermitently changing color and dimming, I would next reset the phone with these steps:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Test the issue out for a bit and if it persists, I would next backup and restore the phone with iTunes and re test:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Files have turned red

I've just upgraded to 09 and every page on iWeb has turned red, on both of my computers. I have tried uploading twice to MobileMe. Both times, after an hour or more, I'm told that the site can't be uploaded at this time.
Has this happened to others, I wonder? And does anyone have a solution please?

None of the suggestions offered here, while definitely worth trying, have helped me. Installing & launching iWeb 3/'09 instantly caused all pages and sites to go red, forcing me to re-publish everything.
Why a version upgrade would force a complete republishing of one's entire site seems odd, but the bigger problem for me is that MobileMe seems to refuse to take the re-pub attempt, failing with a different error message regarding a different file every time since Tuesday evening. Not a single one of these files, nor the site in general, gave me any problems under iWeb 2/'08 or prior to Tuesday evening.
The net effect is that my site has been dead for three days, and some part of this equation -- either MobileMe or iWeb 3/'09 -- is rendering it impossible for me to resurrect it.
I did get a small, 1-page, new site to publish last night, but the prospect of having to break down a previously trouble-free blog into tiny, bite-sized chunks is ridiculous. This is not a huge Domain file we're talking about, and no single file is over 2.4MB (an MP3).
I would welcome any suggestions that go beyond basic troubleshooting and address the real, persistent problems that many people here are seeing with iWeb 3/'09 and MobileMe since upgrading.

My iPad screen turned red

My iPad screen turned red all of a sudden. I don't know what to do but I'm freaking out! I've tried slapping the back of my iPad but it still doesn't work! This is the second time it's happened.
Please help!

I assume the iPad was dropped. It will need to be repaired or replaced.

Why do my links get bigger and turn red?

Hi,
I have a website I created many years ago for my business. Along the way something weird happened to all the links. Whenever someone hovers over them with a mouse, the links turn red and get bigger. Can someone please tell me what caused this and how get fix my links so they're normal again?
My website address is: http://karathecomputertutor.com
You can see what happens by hovering over any link in the left navbar.
Thanks!
Kara

Here is how to fix it, but I am not sure of the colors. First thing is to remove th <p> </p> tags from the links. Then change the following corrected lines in your 3col_leftNav.css.
#sectionLinks a {
display: block;
font-size:100%;
border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
padding: 2px 0px 2px 10px;
#sectionLinks a:hover{
display: block;
font-size:100%;
background-color: #dddddd;
text-align: left;
color: #369;
text-decoration:none;
Notice that in both the a and a:hover, there is a font size declaration. That way they always stay the same. Also, on the color of the a:hover, it is the same as the original, only the background changes. I am not sure that is what you want. This works on my computer as I have tested it here. Hopefully it will work on yours. This will change all the sectionLinks a and sectionLinks a:hover that uses that style sheet.

Internet LED turns Red at a certain time of the day

I have a customer who last year would lose there internet connection like after 4:30pm each day. I was over there a couple days ago and saw it in action. I noticed that on the Actiontec GT704WG modem all the lights would start blinking and then the Internet LED would turn red with all other still green and then it would connect again for a minute and keep going through that cycle. Already did the reset of modem etc. Even happens when the Cat 5 cable is not plugged in. Could this be a power issue with the modem? Also, the ipconfig settings are fine when this is happening... Anyone have any ideas what the issue is? Thank You

All of the lights blinking? Would this include the power lights or only the Ethernet and Wireless lights? If it's the lather, it sounds like the computer searching for a way to the Internet using broadcast packets. The DSL light if it's blinking would indicate a loss of sync, and this can turn the Internet light red. Anyhow, if you can clear up what exactly was blinking, we can continue.

Trying to set up Airport Express with Ethernet Powerline adapters

Hello,
Having some problems trying to set up my Airport Express with Netgear ethernet powerline adapters.
I want to set up as follows:
Wireless Belkin router --- powerline <---> powerline --- airport express --- home stereo system
The problem I have is that I can connect the airport x in client mode & wirelessly play music using airtunes (until the sound breaks up) but itunes does not find the airport x when connected via the powerlines.
I have airport admin utility configured as follows:
Airport tab:
Wireless mode: create a wireless network
Wireless network name: same as my wireless router SSID
Allow this network to be extended: unticked
radio mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
Channel: automatic
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 personal (as per my router)
Wireless Password: as per my router
Verify Password: as per my router
Internet tab:
Connect using: ethernet
Connection sharing: off (bridge mode)
Music tab:
Enable Air Tunes ticket
no password set
In iTunes, I have home sharing on & share entire library selected with no password set.
Using OS 10.6.5 & Airport Express 7.5.2
I can ping the IP address of the airport express when connected via the powerlines but cannot select the speakers in iTunes (they are greyed out).
Any assistance would be appreciated....
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response...
As suggested, I connected up the Airport X to the Belkin and plugged in a pair of headphones. It didn't work, still could not select the Airport X as speakers.
Dug out my old Netgear DG834G and connected that up in place of the Belkin - it worked. Next connected in the Netgear powerlines and it still worked.
So, the problem is the relatively new Belkin F7D4401 router.
Looks like I will have to find an alternative 802.11n...
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Simon

Graphics turning Red or Black after a while for no apparent reason?

For some reason every time I import graphics to the library they are fine. But when I put them on the stage (there's about 30 of them in each of different keyframes) they seem to be replaced by black or red rectangles. In the library, they are fine, and when I export them as a .MOV they are sometimes fine. If I export them as an .AVI, however, they remain red and black. It's not all of the graphics, but the longer that I am in Flash, the more of them turn red.
I can't tell if it's one corrupt file or a corrupt installation, but it's been on three computers: a terrible laptop with Windows 7, a Mac, and a modern desktop with Windows 8.
Can anyone fill me in on what might be the cause or possible solutions? (or ways to diagnose it?)

My best guess is that you're somehow bumping up against a size limit like this Size limits | SWF, bitmap files | Flash Player 10. I know you're not using the Flash Player, but it's possible that since that limit is known there are limitations in the IDE that are related to it. Have you tried splitting your images into smaller pieces and combining several in the same Graphic symbol?

Status bar turned red

While I was using my iPad, the status bar at the top (the black bar all the way at the top with the clock) suddenly turned red for a very brief moment. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some words there. But when I shifted my focus to read what was there, the words disappeared and the bar turned back to it's normal black. So I have no idea what this was all about; it was so quick. But it was obviously a warning of some sort.
Anybody know what this could have been?

I found it. It says "Garage Band Recording.". Strange, considering it pops up after quitting the app.

HT3371 When I plug in the computer to charge, the light is green for a minute and then turns red and the plug gets very hot. It's not the plug as it works on other computer. Why won't my computer charge?

When I plug in my MacBook Pro to charge, the light is green for a minute and then it turns red and the plug gets very hot. The plug works fine on another computer and charges it. Why won't my MacBook Pro charge?

Published iWebsite pages turn red when scrolling pages in iWeb

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if I'm the only person who has this issue; when I publish my iweb sites and pages (to MobileMe) all goes well, but when I then scroll my page up and down in iWeb the site turns red again as if I have changed its content.
I've tried the usual stuff (deleted caches, prefs, logged into MM under a bogus username and password) to check if the problem is a MM issue but this also occurs when I publish to a folder...
I've repaired disk permissions and did a fresh install of OS X (10.6.7) two weeks ago.
Does anyone have any other suggestions which might solve this issue? Or perhaps even the same problem?
cheers,
koen

Brilliant OT!
Although immediately posting to the discussions group says something about my personal opinion on the reliability of iWeb ... the problem was caused as you expected; the double digit finger action.
So 'no swiping in iWeb' I suppose.
The 'turning red' of published site pages was 100% reproducible by scrolling down using my trackpad, but it doesn't happen when I use my mighty mouse or the arrow buttons/scroll bar thing. (Even although nothing was selected in iWeb, bit of a bug if you'd ask me)
Thanks again for pointing out the logical and to me not so obvious
cheers,
koen
