Problem with the yellow flashing light on AirPort Extreme

I'm trying to use my AirPort Express and have a yellow flashing light. I contacted ISP and we tested the connection by plugging the modem into a PC directly, so there is a working connection. I tried the Airport utility and it identified an error, stating that no connection could be made
I'm not sure where to go with this, my understanding is that the AirPort Express should have no trouble communicating with modems, so it can't be an issue of hardware.
Any suggestions very welcome!

Whenever you change whatever device is connected to your modem, be sure to power down the modem first.
It will refuse to communicate with anything else, unless you do.

Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)

PROBLEM WITH Laptop Dropping CONNECTION to my Airport Extreme

PROBLEM WITH KEEPING CONNECTION To WiFi NETWORK I have a MacBook Pro, MacBookPro4,1, Processor Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.6 GHz I loose connection with my Airport extreme it will just drop the connection. Up in the menu bar where it show thesignal strength... when it drops the connection it shows "NO NETWORK SELECTED". The only way for me to reconnect thru wifi is to SHUT DOWN my Laptop and start it back up. Then it will hold for just a little longer and drop it again. Very AGGRIVATING. Is there a possibility that my Airport Card in my Laptop is going bad or what? Gerrrrrrrrrrr Seems to do it more when I am on Facebook but that just may be because Im on FB a lot.. LOL And I already did the proceedure with going into the Utilities and accessing the Keychain and setting up Network again but it does not correct the problem. HELP!!

You appear to have a solid radio connection to the Base Station.
1) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
2) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."

Problems with my External HD and my AirPort Extreme Station

I've just recently (July 26) picked up my new router the AirPort Extreme and I'm loving it. I can finally print off my laptop without having my desktop on to do it. I have HP Desktop and Gateway laptop for now, but am converting (when I get money for my MacBook).
Enough about the background ...
The issue tha that I'm having is that when I try to get the HD to work on the network, I get an error saying "repair disk". I've got both of my printers and the external hd hooked up to a USB hub and then to the AirPort Extreme. The two printers work, but the HD doens't.
Any idea's?

So I tried to format the HD into the format mentioned in this thread. Because I am using a PC to try and do it, I can't get it into that format. I've tried many things and nothing seems to work. So ... because I am selling my desktop PC anyways, I'm selling the external HD along side that and getting one that's already Mac compatible. This one I just bought a internal HD and slapped it into an external case. I have both my printers working properly right now and that's all that matters to me. I can live without my external HD for now.
Thank you to everyone that responded to this question and I hope to get more answers from you guys/gals the next time I have one.
Thanks again everyone!

Problems with the new flash version.

Turned on my computer (win 7, ff5) and found that both skype and youtube are crippled.
After some digging, it becomes clear that there has been a new flash version and im far from the only one with problems. I try to use the uninstaller - which works suspiciously quickly- and reinstall. I get a message saying that its already installed. When i try through firefox direct, it says an existing version may be in use.
So either the uninstaller or the installer is broken.
When on youtube for example, it alternates between telling me i need to update the plugin and to download from adobe. I have now done this several times, following the instructions. No suscess.
Have tried to change the hardware accelleration off, but as i cant see anything thats flash.... its not going well.

Is your Win7 32-bit or 64-bit?
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit) / C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit) ?

Problems with the CS4 Flash Projector

Hi,
I have developed a big Flash-projekt for a CD-Rom.
When I test the swf, all works very nice, but when I build a
*.exe, the result is not useable.
It is very "ruckelig" (I don't know the english word).
What can I do? Is this a CS4 bug?
I downloaded SWF & FLV Toolbox 3.5, an converted the swf
in an normal Flash-Projector, Version 8 and the result is very
good!
But why?
I don't want to buy a product of a third party, because I
payed much for an original CS4.
Can you please help me and explain me why it doesn't work as
well as the Flash-Projector, Version 8?
Or is there an update for CS4 available?
Thank you.
BMo

I have the same problem, but on a Mac and CS3. I export the projector and it just doesnt launch.
Somebody with a solution?

Yellow flashing light

What does the yellow flashing light on my time capsule mean? I have a new hard drive and want to download from my time capsule. I have an Ethernet cable running directly from my capsule to my laptop but nothing seems to be happening. The screen is prompting for a backup volume but the option box is blank.

A yellow light means that a Time Capsule isn't "happy" for a number of possible reasons. AirPort Utility should be able to show the reason, but if you only have one Mac it may be difficult to learn the reason.

Problems with the pictures in automatic mode

I bought an xperia Z1 just a few days ago, I just find a problem with the camera flash, when I take a picture in automatic mode.
failure is, when a picture is taken in autmomatic mode, the right side of the picture, left with a bright white shadow, wich is ruining the photos.
I need your help, Its so frustrating, I thought I had made the right decision when I bought this computer, but apparently not
attached a sample image
hopefully you can help me
kind regards

Probably there was something that reflected your flash.I suggest you disable flash in panoramic night shots.

Problem consistently printing via new (summer 2011) AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION and Brother wireless printer (model HL5370DW). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer. I'm a newb here and will try to offer as much detail as I can about the dilemma at hand.
Scenario: Home network has been recently set up for wireless internet access via NEW Airport Extreme Base Station (purchased September 2011). Units accessing the network include: 2011 Macbook Pro, 2011 Macbook Air, 2007 Macbook, 2009 Macbook Pro, 2 iPhone 3GSs, and a 1st-gen iPad (and a partridge in a pear tree AEBS is configured to run WPA2 encrypted network, as well as a WPA2 guest network. I am attempting to yoke a BROTHER HL5370DW wireless B or G/ ethernet / usb-capable printer to the main network such that any and all units can print wirelessly or its equivalent (i.e., via printer hooked to AEBS through USB hub)
Problem: Despite configuring the Brother printer to recognize the main WPA2 network I created, I am unable to get wireless printing to work. My workaround was to physically connect Brother printer to AEBS via USB, specifically using a Belkin USB hub (after all, I wanted access to usb drives, as well as the printer). This workaround works ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. Generally, after a fresh boot of any computer or after a restart of the AEBS, any given computer will be able to print (i.e., any computer wirelessly connected to the main WPA2 network recognizes the printer). HOWEVER, at random times, printer access is gone (as is access to USB drives connected to AEBS's usb hub). Wireless networks are still up and running when that happens. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE USB HUB's devices (i.e., printer and usb drives) to ALWAYS REMAIN AVAILABLE AS LONG AS THEY STAY CONNECTED TO THE AEBS? In other words, what accounts for the intermittent loss of the usb peripherals?
Sometimes, I just shut the airport off on whatever computer is having this problem, and the problem goes away. Sometimes, the problem is present across all computers in the house, sometimes only a few are affected. I can ALWAYS see the AEBS in the Airport Utility if the AEBS is connected to the particular computer via ETHERNET CABLE.
My theories:
- true wireless printing (i.e., without usb hub workaround) doesn't work because the N network somehow isn't backwards compatible with the Brother printer, which, i believe, is B/G. Although...isn't Wireless N networking supposed to work with BG devices? I did find a thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2570774?start=0&tstart=0 ) that explains some of the particulars of WPA2 encryption and Wireless B/G issues, but it was beyond my level of comprehension (I'm a psychologist, but not an Apple Genius
- The usb workaround is only intermittently viable because of some flaw in the Airport or Airport Utility that causes dropouts to happen when a Macbook Pro or Air's lid gets closed or one gets opened after having been at a different network (e.g., at my office).
QUESTIONS:
- Should I try to use my old router (7 year old Linksys WRT54G) as an access point and connect the Brother printer to that G-router? How do I do that?
- I wouldn't mind just relying on the usb hub method if I could just insure more consistency (i.e., no random dropouts of peripherals). How could I do this?
Rule out:
- wireless printing works on my printer - it was being recognized back before the AEBS. I had the Linksys router running a WEP network and had the wireless printer talking with no cables to the router and the computers. (I just don't want to revert to using WEP encryption given its lack of security and my trying to protect HiPAA related health information on behalf of patients)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

13 ASCII characters = 104 (aka 128)-bit WEP
encryption
If turning off WEP works, then you just need to
provide the cameras with the "Equivalent Network Password".
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain
algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords
(or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use
of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than
lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different
vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX
key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be
hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice
versa.
You may find the following article helpful:
- Apple article, especially the part about
"Third-party client to Airport".
Brilliant idea about trying the system with No encryption on... that DID solve the problem... almost.. once I turned off the encryption option, and restarted the Airport, I got a dialog box showing that the "Base station needs attention" but it didn't indicate WHAT kind of "assistance" it needed. Nonetheless, I closed out of the Airport program only to find that the indicator light, which had been Green, was now, flashing Yellow and I could not connect anything, including my computer. I opened the Airport program again and found the ONLY way I could get the Green light on was to select some sort of encryption option... then the light would go Green again but my cameras would not hook up again, and when I went back in and ONLY changed the option to NO encryption, I got the yellow flashing light and the "this base unit needs attention" warning...
I think your suggestions are almost on the mark... is there any way of reconciling the WEP coding between the cameras and the Airport??? Or turning off the encryption option and STILL have Airport work?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions... I really appreciate it.

Why is yellow light is flashing on my airport extreme

Why is the yellow light flashing on my airport extreme? I can't get it to work. I want to set up my printer to print wireless.

A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
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.

AX working fine, but with yellow flashing light

Hello,
I use my AX to stream iTunes. It works great. But it has the annoying yellow flashing light - EVEN THOUGH the airport utility displays the AX as "green" and working just fine. What can I do to stop this?
I have the AX (6.3) participating in a WDS network with WPA2. I have a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware. Both are on channel 1. I used this guide to set up the router and AX from default settings: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WDS#AppleAirportExpress. I have followed this guide on a previous occasion with total success. This time - Mr Yellow Flashy.
Help me please!

Do you only use the AX to stream music?
If you do not use it to connect to the internet then the flashing amber light is correct.
The flashing amber indicates that there is no internet connection present on the ethernet port.
You can turn off the indicator totally by changing a setting in the Airport Base Station software on your computer.

I selected a clip in the Project window in iMovie 11, opened the Clip Trimmer for that clip, chose the part of the clip I wanted to keep with the yellow bars, and "trim to Selection" in the menu bar is light grey so I can't complete the edit.
I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

2nd gen green-yellow flashing lights with content on iPod

so I looked up the definition of the alternating green-yellow flashing lights and it apparently means that there's no content on the iPod.
But when connected to Mac iTunes it shows that there actually is content on it. Hmmm. I can even play that content *from* the iPod through iTunes interface and hear it through the powerbook speakers.
I ran the iPod reset utility, reset the firmware in iTunes and reloaded the podcasts. Still the same thing.
Seems to sync fine. Don't know what's going on with this.

Make sure the mode switch is set to "play-in-order" and NOT "shuffle".
Flashing green-yellow means there's no PLAYABLE content on the shuffle.
