Solid amber flashes green once about every minute + even more problems

I have a problem with my airport express:
-Even after doing a factory reset my airport express has an solid amber light wich flashes green once about every minute.
- Sometimes the LED light even goes off for a couple of seconds.
- I can't find the airport express in the airport express utility, even when I directly connect a LAN cable it won't find it.
- I also can't find the airport express wirelessly.
Please help me fixing this airport express.

Lauren, welcome to the discussions!
Unfortunately, the symptoms you are describing likely indicate that your Express has an internal problem and may need to be replaced.
If you have not already done so, try a Factory Default Reset to see if that might help.
Power down the Express and wait a few minutes.
Then hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the device back in to power
Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. This normally takes about 5-10 seconds
See if that helps. If no luck, I'm afraid the Express has failed and will need to be replaced.

  • Audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute

    Hi There,
    I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I have a 3 G with 3.0. When listening to Bluetooth audio through the SYNC system of my Ford Focus, the audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute. It does this persistently.
    Any fixes?

    My 3GS seems to have an occasional dropout using A2DP with my Kenwood head unit, but I don't think it ever happened with my 3G (both running OS 3.0). It seems like some kind of a latency issue between the iphone and the head unit.

  • My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.0

    My 3GS crashes during phone calls over about 3 minutes, even after the upgrade to 5.o

    I've also got this annoying problem, but it seems to vary how long the phone wants to last before crashing - i think the longest conversation i've had with iOS4 is 15 minutes and it was an important phone call (my son was in hospital at the time and i was away on business)
    i was hoping that iOS4.2 would fix the problem, but alas nothing but more crashing..
    being a user of Apple products since 1984, having this trouble is pretty disappointing as i used to believe that Apple made a quality product..

  • New Email notification only looks unread for about 3 minutes even if I have not read the message

    I have just started using Microsft Outlook to use my yahoo account. Both of those services show a new message as unread indefinitely but for some reason, my 8310 only shows the new email as new for about 3 minutes.
    In the BB Mail-Options General options - I have the Display Message count as Unread, and the Display New Message INdicator as Yes, and under the Email Reconciliation it reads On. It used to work fine but all of the sudden something has changed.
    Does anyone have any tips on this issue? I would hate to miss an important new message when I am traveling.

    Take it to apple store and don't replace it with the new one my son had the same problem he was in there about 10 minutes and walked out with a new phone

    Check and see if you've got too many things running concurrently. Double-click the home key to see your list of most recent programs. Press and hold the icons in the app tray until they jiggle, and then remove the ones you don't need. Even when programs are "closed" they still leave footprints in memory so that if you were to re-access that program, it will open up faster. This should free up some memory.
    If you don't have many apps installed and running, then I am not sure what would be causing your problems.

  • What's happening if my Macbook Air beeps about once every minute?

    I just upgraded my Macbook Air to OSX 10.8.1 the other day. Besides that, I diddn't install any new applications. Today, my macbook beeps about once every minute even when I muted it. What is going on?

    ok, it turns out that this is just a mistake. the beeping noise doesn't actually come from my laptop... sorry about this. Please disregard the question. I love my mac, and Apple is amazing.

  • New 2TB Time Capsule: solid amber light, but TC working well...what's wrong?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me...thanks in advance for reading through this question!
    I have a brand new 2TB Time Capsule, using it with the AT&T U-verse modem/router 3801 HGV.
    After much consternation, I finally got the TC set up in bridge mode with the U-verse router.
    The TV, phone, and internet are all working well through AT&T...and my wireless internet
    connection through the TC is working great as well.  Also, the TC is performing the first
    back up of my MacBook Pro hard drive.  Everything seems to be working great, I think.
    However, I have some questions that I feel need to be addressed:
    1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green.  When I check the connections in the Airport
    Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
    Solid amber indicates that the "Time Capsule is completing its start-up sequence".  I would expect
    the start-up sequence to be completed long ago and the light to be green...and I can't find anything
    wrong.
        Any ideas as to why the light on the TC could be solid amber??
    2- What should I do to get the light to be green??
    3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be.  I have about 190GB of data
    to back up.  I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up.  It looks like the
    speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
    Is that a fairly "normal" speed??  I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
    4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
    the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
    mode.  To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
    tab in the Airport Utility??  The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
    just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
         Does the TC "add" a new wireless network when I add new data in those fields...and SAVE the
    original "home" network I created??  Just making sure!
    Thanks to those who reply!
    Chris

    1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green.  When I check the connections in the Airport Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
    That is weird.. most TC I look at solid AMBER means the hard disk is dead. Not sure but since it is working it is no biggie.. there is some control over how the led functions.. but I doubt you can set the color different.
    In other words.. not a clue.. if the TC is new take it to the genius and show them.. that is not the way it is supposed to work.
    3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be.  I have about 190GB of data
    to back up.  I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up.  It looks like the
    speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
    Is that a fairly "normal" speed??  I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
    Over wireless expect slow.. you did not state wireless or wired.. but those look like reasonable wireless speed. your files will load at different speed.. small files are slow.. larger files much faster.. it takes time to write the tables for many smaller files.
    We always recommend first backup over ethernet.. even if the TC is pulled out of the network.
    4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
    the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
    mode.  To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
    tab in the Airport Utility??  The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
    just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
    Guest network is removed as an option in bridge mode.. just use the uverse modem wireless for guest.

  • The screen of my iMac flashes green during boot-sequence, then returns to normal.

    During the boot-sequence the screen of my Imac 27" flashes green (once), then returns to normal. This does not happen when I boot my Windows (Bootcamp) partition, so I assume this is some kind of OSX driver error. This started to happen only after I installed the latest patch (10.9.3). Did anybody else encounter this and/or knows how to get rid of it ?

    Hey fumanchu,
    Did a small google search and found the following:

    Basically reset the PRAM.
    Worked for me hope it works for you buddy. I did it due what the first link said "might be user abuse to the display". doesn't sound good.

  • ITunes freezing after about 5 minutes on one account, works on other accounts

    background info: I have a 2008 black Intel Macbook 2.4 GHz with 2GB RAM.
    the problem that I'm having is when I run iTunes , after about 5 minutes even if I'm not downloading or playing music, the program starts to slow down and I get the rainbow beach ball on my screen. If I'm playing music, it starts and then stops, starts, and stops. Other programs respond for about a minute, and then nothing responds, no force quit, no nothing. The only way to get my computer back is to hard restart.
    **I have a feeling that gapless playback has something to do with it, the problem started when I added an album collection of around 800 songs at once, and I did notice that it starts going through the gapless playback analysis or whatever and then freezes.
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes etc. and searching forums and websites, but all problems that sound similar are from years ago and different iTunes versions. The iTunes is the version before 10.4, I'm not sure if its 10.3 or 10.2, since I'm afraid to open it and have my computer crash again.
    One annoying fix I did was when I need to have music I made a separate account on my mac that runs iTunes fine with no problems. I had this problem in Snow Leopard, and just upgraded to Lion hoping it would fix itself, but it still has the same problem.
    If anybody has help or has a similar problem please let me know.

    Scanning from other than admin account has always been a problem for me. The only solution that I found out working is using the Vuescan software. It has something to do with that the scanning software trying to access some part of OS X that is locked to others but not for the owner (admin).
    To give the other accounts admin access doesn't help.

  • WCCP bouncing every minute

    We've pair of C7206VXR NPE-G2s that we're trying to upgrade to ASR1004 that talks to pair of WAE7371s. I've attempted twice to upgrade the routers but failed due to "WCCP" bouncing every minute. TAC suggested that I modify the wccp load balacing feature from
    "wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1 hash-source-ip hash-destination-ip" to "wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1 mask-assign".
    But the "WCCP" still bouncing every minute even after the change.
    Has anyone experienced same issue ? if so, Could you share your solution if the solution has been found ?
    We're running 4.1.5f on WAEs and 15.0(1)S on the ASR1004.

    Hi
    I have 2 x ASR 1002 facing 2 x 7341 (not exactly the same, but...)
    I'm using the following and it works well:
    wccp router-list 1 10.x.x.1 10.x.x.21
    wccp tcp-promiscuous mask src-ip-mask 0x300 dst-ip-mask 0x0
    wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1
    wccp version 2
    egress-method negotiated-return intercept-method wccp
    WAAS s/w is 4.3.3
    ASR is asr1000rp1-adventerprisek9.03.01.00.S.150-1.S.bin

  • Why does my HD camera go offline (unusable) until I power-off for 5 minutes or more?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011.  I've had it for about a month.
    After some use, the HD camera will go offline to all applications and doesn't show up in the USB tree:
    https://skitch.com/pglombardo/f7yt9/macbook-pro
    Facetime reports: "There is no connected camera."
    PhotoBooth reports: "There is no connected camera."
    Evernote just Hangs when I try to create an iSight note but occasionally says: "Camera Off/Plug in a camera to take a snapshot."
    It appears that after the 4th or 5th time that the camera initializes for use (regardless of application) the camera goes offline and disappears from the USB tree.
    The thing is that if I power down my laptop for about 5 minutes or more the camera returns to normal working order.  If I do an immediate restart, the camera will not come back.
    It's almost as if the power from the USB Bus has to completely drain for the camera to re-initialize.
    I've read many other threads and have tried resetting the SMC which have had no affect on the symptoms or the work-around.
    The only work-around that I'm aware currently of is to power down for 5 minutes or more.
    Any help and input would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    LOL
    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011.  I've had it for about a month.
    Which os did it come with?  As far as I know, the newer Macs do not come with 10.6.7.  Either they come with Lion or the last version of Snow Leopard-10.6.8.
    Have you contacted the camera manufacturer to confirms it's compatible with the os that is installed on your computer?  Any drivers you need to download and install?

  • TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

    After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

  • About a month ago, I began periodically getting the spinning wheel while trimming, adding titles or transitions, etc.  It lasts for about 15 seconds and then goes away.  This seems to happen once every minute or two.  I have more than enough RAM/Power.

    About a month ago, I began periodically getting the spinning wheel while trimming, adding titles or transitions, etc.  It lasts for about 15 seconds and then goes away.  This seems to happen once every minute or two.  I have more than enough RAM/Power, etc.  About every other time I use FCPX it will spontaneously close (typically when editing a title).  None of these things were happening previously.  I have lots of projects that I store on Promise Pegasus drives via Thunderbolt.  I only keep a few projects and the associated events open in FCPX at a time, otherwise I use Event Managaer X to keep track of them.  Can anybody give me any suggestions as to why this is occurring and what I can do to remedy it?  I have the latest version of FCPX as far as I can tell.  This is driving me mad and costing me significant time while editing.  By the way, I am doing just basic editing.  Essentially trimming, cutting and adding some transitions and a few title screens.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    These apperarances of the spinning wheel tend to be related to some io operation that takes too long. Maybe the finder is trying to reach a network server that became unavailable.
    I would try clearing caches and do an overall maintenance with an utility like OnyX.
    Also, trashing preferences does no harm and is often the first troubleshooting measure when FCP X misbehaves.

  • The Flash plug-in causes Firefox to crash for about 2 minutes every 20 seconds, it is the newest Flash update. It has happened to me both with Firefox 3.6 and 4!

    Firefox for me has been fine for the past couple of years or so. Then all of a sudden about 5 months ago, everytime i would use Firefox it would crash after browsing for about 1 minute. I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times to no avail. I then got sick of the problem and then used IE till now.
    However, i heard about Firefox 4 and thought maybe this would fix it. Unfortunately, the same problem occurred! I then heard about being able to start Firefox with add-ons disabled to find any sources of problems, and i've found that the cause if Flash! It is the newest version and always has been, so i don't know what i can do, since Flash is important for most websites nowadays!?

    Could you please do the following.
    Download the following two files and save to your desktop. These are direct download links so you'll only see the dialog boxes which looks like the ones you see in the screenshot.
    * [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
    * [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe]
    Next, close Firefox via File | Exit (''it's important that you do it this way and not just by clicking the close button'')
    Next, double click the '''uninstall_flash_player.exe '''file you downloaded earlier and then '''reboot'''. A reboot is necessary to remove the setting from the Windows Registry.
    Next, double click the '''install_flash_player.exe''' file to reinstall Flash.
    Finally, restart Firefox and see if it made any difference.
