Shuffle keeps blinking yellow?

Having trouble with my Shuffle - when I plug it into the usb port it just keeps blinking yellow and iTunes never recognizes it.  According to the battery check it seems ok (green light) however when I press play I get a flashing light alternating between green and yellow.  Any help of suggestions would be very appreciated.
thanks jeff 

WELL im not to sure about the battery but i can tell u that your right if its not green then its not charged fully. Try switching ports or try leaving it overnight. Maybe the battery is faulty and needs replacing. U can get a mains battery charger from amazon.co.uk its called a Mains firepower world tour travel charger it sounds fancy all it is 240 v mains adapter u plug in and it has like plugs for all major countries like USA AUSTRALIA AND EUROPE its a god send its only 19 pounds i got one and mine always goes green on that. Is all the usb ports working fine check in device manager not sure where that is in 2000 i have xp but it will tell u if any of the hubs or ports are faulty laters D

  • My iPod shuffle keeps blinking and can't be recognized by my PC

    When I connect my iPod Shuffle to my PC USB 2.0 socket, it starts blinking and can not be recognized by my system. It did work before. Can anybody tell me what's going on?

    Hi Jill,
    Since the iPod shuffle was working when connected to the same computer, I recommend connect the iPod shuffle to a different USB port in the computer or a different computer and check.
    Update to the latest iPod updater and latest iTunes.

  • Blinking yellow light after installing a new modem

    I installed a new Arris DOCSIS 3.0 Gateways modem and my Airport Extreme AC keeps blinking yellow .
    I have rest the extreme and still the same result. All connections are solid. It would be my opinion the Aiirport is just not finding the Mode,
    thanks for any help.
    M

    I have rest the extreme and still the same result.
    If you reset the AirPort Extreme, then you have had to set it up again.
    I suggest that you try letting AirPort Utility tell you why the AirPort Extreme is complaining, and then let the utility offer a solution to fix the issue.
    If this sounds like something that would be useful, then.....
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click directly on the amber dot
    Look for a listing for Status
    Click on the smaller amber dot next to Status
    Another window will open up with information about what AirPort Utility feels might be an issue, along with a suggestion to fix things.
    If you are unable to fix the issue using that information, please post back with the exact message that you see.

  • My computer cannot see my new airport express (Blinking Yellow)

    OK, Ive been sitting here for an hour and this thing keeps blinking yellow..lol
    I reset it twice but it will not appear in the airport setup utility.I am trying to extend my network from my Airport extreme in the basement.
    Im sitting 2 feet away from it on my macbook pro
    what gives?
    Message was edited by: Thomas Colontonio

    I hope you are sitting 2 feet away from the Airport Extreme with the Airport Express plugged in near it along with your MacBook.
    If not, you should do this all in the same room to begin with..
    Next, it sounds like you need to reset the new Express.
    Unplug it, push a clip into the reset button and while holding the reset button in, plug the Express back in and keep holding the clip in for at least 10 seconds.
    Now, wait a minute or two and see if the Express shows back up in the Airport Utility window.
    If it does, set it up again the way you want.

  • When I plug my shuffle in, it blinks yellow several times and then goes out. It wont charge

    When I plug my shuffle in, it will blink yellow several times and then go out. It wont charge. I do not see this as a "warning" light in the PDF handbook. Any suggestions?

    Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
    In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

  • Since cahnging FIOS Internet provider, which required a router to go in front of "AirPort" I have a blinking yellow on the AirPort and suggested editing in AirPort utility to cahnge from Double NAT to "Bridge Mode" my knowledge base is not clear as t

    How do I clean up my new FIOS connection? I just cahnged ISP Fios and they reqquired a router of thier own in front of my AirPort Extreme. Since then I have blinking yellow light on the AirPort and AirPort utility keeps promting for an edit. Suggests canging from NAT to "Bridge mode". Obviuosly U have some internet or this post would not go anywhere, my knowledge base is not enought to feel comfortable with changing the settings. Correctly editing can be tricky, so how do I make necessary changes?

    How do I clean up my new FIOS connection?
    The FIOS router needs to be in Bridge Mode to prevent the Double NAT error from occurring when two routers are both fighting with each other for control of the network.
    Unfortunately, the likely problem from the FIOS side is that FIOS support will either tell you that their router cannot be configured to operate in Bridge Mode, or if it can, they will not tell you how to do it.
    But, it could not hurt to check with FIOS to see if anything might have changed recently in this regard, so your first call would be to FIOS support.
    If you cannot change the FIOS router to Bridge Mode, the alternate plan would be to change the AirPort Extreme to Bridge Mode. If you are using the Guest Network feature on the AirPort Extreme at this time, that feature will not work correctly when the AirPort is set up in Bridge Mode.

  • Two nat routers - AP Extreme blinking yellow

    I have had an internet based home security system installed.  They (comcast) require their own router between the cable modem and my AP Extreme.  Their router is purely for their use, I get one ethernet port to go to the AP.  But their router also has dhcp and nat functionality enabled.  So . . .
    1) If I put my AP Extreme in Bridge Mode, alll works well.  The "other" router is assigning IP addresses (in the 172. range), the AP shows a green light and all is well.  Except . . . I cannot use the Guest Network functionality, which I want to keep.  It appears that does not work in Bridge Mode.
    2) If I let the AP create a network, everything also seems to work fine.  Now the AP is assigning IP addresses (in the 10. range).  But the AP stays blinking yellow and says it does not like having two routers.
    Do I care if the AP stays blinkng yellow with that error message?  Why does it care if everything seems to work?

    That is correct! The Guest Networking feature is NOT available when the AirPort is configured as a bridge.

    Do I care if the AP stays blinkng yellow with that error message?  Why does it care if everything seems to work?
    The flashing amber is letting you know that the AirPort has detected that it is in a double NAT condition. Being in this state is not an issue by itself. You can disable the warning by using the AirPort Utility (v5.x); select the yellow circle next to the base station, and then, choose the option to ignore the warning. This should get the status light to a steady green again.

  • New internet provider (moved from Comcast to Uverse) and I can't get my new network to stay put, and I can't get my Time Capsule to stop blinking yellow

    I have moved from Comcast to Uverse, and can't get my TIme Capsule to stop blinking yellow.  I know it isn't updating.  Additionally, I can't get my computer to recognize the 'new' wireless network.  It keeps changing back to the 'old' network.

    You have two separate issues here. although both were created with the recent changes on your network.
    Find out why the Time Capsule is blinking amber as follows:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click directly on the the Time Capsule icon
    Click directly on the amber dot....and another window will open to explain more about the issue...along with suggested actions that you can take to remedy the issue.
    If you want your Mac to connect first to the "new" network....
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Network
    Click on WiFi on the left
    Click Advanced at the lower right
    Make sure that the name of the network that you want the Mac to connect to first appears at the top of the connection order list. Drag the name to the top if it is not there now.
    Click OK
    Click Apply
    Now your Mac will attemp to connect first to the network that you positioned at the top of the connection order list.

  • Blinking Yellow after ISP Modem upgrade

    I have an Airport/Time Capsule. Just moved & Time Warner upgraded my network modem/router. Now, Airport is blinking yellow, but still works as a WIFI router.  It's been 9 hours and I've rebooted a few times.
    What can I do?

    reset the TC to factory and redo the setup.. for Yosemite here is the list of things which will give the most trouble free result..
    Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
    If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
    Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
    Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
    Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
    Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-yo u-can-do-to-fix-it/
    You don't have to do it all.. or all at once.. but it is a good opportunity to fix potential problems..

  • Blinking yellow - can't find base station - tried everything!!!

    Last night I decided to change my network from WPA to WEP so that my nintendo DS could hook up through wifi (nintendo wifi website told me to change it to WEP to connect). Once I changed it, the base station rebooted. It came back with the evil blinking yellow light.
    I open up airport utility and it cannot find a base station anywhere. "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations. Please make sure the AirPort base station you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then rescan to try again."
    - I unplugged the base station and plugged it back in. did this a billion times
    - Rebooted my macbook. also did this a billion times
    - Went through troubleshooting which kept telling me to just choose the base station to see what was wrong with it - HELLO...I can't choose the base station because it won't come up!
    - Then I did a hard reset of the base station. Pressing in the reset button for the amount of time - but it says that it will start blinking green. But mine just started blinking yellow really fast. Then it reset. After starting back up - it went back to the slow blinking yellow. And my airport utility still can't find the base station.
    - Then I tried the factory default reset. By unplugging it, pressing in the reset button and plugging it back in while keeping the button pressed and held it for a while. I still got not blinking green light that trouble shoot told me I would have.
    I just got this thing about 2 months ago! Please someone help my computer find my base station!
    Thanks!

    hooking up the ethernet cord to the Airport and to the macbook did the trick. Then I unhooked it and it still detected it. I was excited.
    It was time to configure it, so I tried to set it to WEP again so my Nintendo DS could connect. As soon as I configured it and the AirPort restarted, it was gone again.
    I had to do a hard restart again and then I had to hook up the ethernet cord again. The whole process all over again, tried WEP again....still died.
    So I did the whole process with hard restart and ethernet cord AGAIN. This time I configured to WPA2 and it connected on up to the internet with no probs. Yay!
    But it still leaves me not being able to hook up my Nintendo DS. Is there no way of configuring my AirPort to WEP????
    Or maybe this should be a new topic...

  • Airport Extreme missing, blinking yellow

    I'm in the middle of setting up my AEBS, when suddenly it dissapeared from the Airport Utility scan.  Now I only have a blinking yellow light, and no base station to choose (or configure).  I've powered down, and resent via the reset button on the back of the AEBS.  Still no base station in Utility.  How do I "see"my base station again????

    When the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) goes missing, try an Ethernet cable connection from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS to establish a direct connection, rather than wireless....which can be problematic
    You may need to perform a Factory Default Reset again to get things back to a starting point again.
    To do that....
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AEBS
    Wait a moment or two
    Hold in the reset button and continue to hold it in an additional 8-10 seconds while you plug the power back in to the AEBS
    Release the reset button and allow 25--30 seconds for the AEBS to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    You can keep the Ethernet cable connected to the AEBS until you have it updated with new settings, then you can remove it if you wish
    Post back if you need a few more setup tips

  • Light keeps blinking

    I have had my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen pluged in for approx 6hrs and it is not charging. Keeps blinking orange. Do I need to regester it. Actually I have 3 that have the same problem. santa Claus brought them for boys all three of the same and all have the same problem

    Actually the blinking light does mean that it is
    still charging. Read the "Quick Start" guide again.
    I'm having the same problem and even after "Safely"
    disconnecting it my iPod won't work because it is not
    charged.
    Ummm... since you are aware that it's charging WHILE even while the orange LED is blinking, are you allowing it to do so for 4-6 hours, or more? The 4 hour charge time Apple quotes is a rather optimistic estimate... To actually check battery charge status you must remove it from the dock AND cycle the ON/OFF switch; the status LED will show green, orange, red, or nothing to indicate charge level.
    I can't believe so many people are having the same
    problem. I find it hard to believe this many people
    have the same problem and Apple doesn't post a
    solution for it. Is their product just that crappy???
    I won't go there...

  • Brand new Intel Xserve Intel - blinking yellow light

    Hello:
    I was wondering if anyone had any information on this.
    I am the design/production/IT manager at a publishing company where we just purchased a brand new Xserve Intel. It is a quad core 2.8 GHz model with 2GB of RAM, 80GB internal hard drive, and a few external FireWire 800 drives attached. It's been a truly great machine so far, but there are a couple of problems we've been trying to figure out since we got it out of the box.
    Upon powering the unit up for the first time until present, the yellow system identifier light on the front panel of the machine has been blinking nonstop. It's following a pattern of blinking very fast 3 or 4 times, followed by a 1 to 2 second period of being off. The yellow indicator light on the right hand rear side of the machine has also been blinking with the one on the front panel in tandem. The operations manual indicated a few possible problems, including the enclosure lock being on or being in an alarm condition, both of which have been ruled out. Pushing the button makes the light blink very rapidly also, but with no pause in between.
    Our IT consultant from corporate headquarters was recently at our office and recommended that I call AppleCare to ensure that there were no hardware issues with the machine. The technician I spoke with stated that the blinking yellow light problem can be any one of about 4 dozen different things but as long as we were all able to connect to it and haven't had anything strange happen with our files, we should be good to go. At that time, our files were still migrating from the old Xserve to the new one, but even with that being over, the lights still continue to flash.
    The other problem we've been experiencing is while in the Server Monitor utility. On the main information screen, the server name is blank, the IP address is showing up correctly, and the status summary reads "failure to connect." The log is set to update every ten seconds and keeps spitting out a "failed to contact server" error.
    Everything is appearing and working correctly in the Server Admin utility.
    Any information regarding either of these problems would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi everyone and thanks for all the info...I'll check all this out a bit later on today and get back to you.
    Just a couple of other general questions I had for now...I've done a little investigating and noticed a couple of things, I'm wondering now if I'd be better off just tearing this thing down and reconfiguring it...unfortunately the person that was sent out here from corporate didn't do the best job of setting anything up!
    1. I noticed that we are hooked up to the second ethernet port vs. the first one. A couple of days back when I switched it to the first port, no one was able to sign or access the server.
    2. I recall that the new Xserve kept crashing in the middle of the OS software update (not sure which build or version it was, but it was the version that was just over 900 megabytes). The original operating system needed to be installed a total of three times as a result of this, just to get us to the point where we're at now.
    3. It appears that the LOM is the first thing that needs to be configured for everything else to run smoothly (although I could be wrong?)
    4. The biggest problem we encountered was migrating our files from the old Xserve to the new. We have a base configuration Xserve and our drive setup is a 750 GB Lacie D2 Quadra that's connected via FireWire 800. The old drive the files were on was on the verge of death and we were fortunate enough to get all the files moved to it before it finally conked out. Permissions on about 75% of the files were wrecked and the only complete fix was running a third party software application called Passenger (http://www.macinmind.com/?pid=2&progid=1&subpid=1). This was the only thing that worked in its entirety to get the permissions fixed.
    Thanks again for the info!
