Solid green light with blink every 5 seconds

I use this shuffle on my windows xp pc. When it was time to charge the (first gen) shuffle, I connected it to powered USB, as usual. After plugging it in I got a solid green light with a blink every 5 seconds. I then tried plugging it into the wall adapter charger with the same outcome. I left it overnight to charge and upon checking the battery, it's still red/orange.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Thanks

Does this mean I have to buy a new one, or is the
battery replacable? I haven't even owned it for a
full year.
Take it to an Apple Store... they'll replace it.

  • Apple logo blinking every 3 seconds - nothing to do with iphone

    Hi all!
    I was using my iPhone, with its battery more than 70%, but suddently it tuned off by itself. I tried restarting though on/off button and home button, but it didn't start. I tried recharging and it didn't work as well. When I tried to connect to iTunes, the phone was not detected as usual. Then, the screen only showed the apple logo blinking every 3 seconds. I also tried updating my itunes, yet it still had no effect. Any other advice how to solve this problem? Thanks.

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at any Apple store.

  • Solid Green light at start up. Airport utility can't find base station.

    Help!
    I've got a problem with my Airport Extreme base station. It's not so extreme. When I hook it up, I get a solid green light and it can not be found by the airport utility in order to set up. I've tried resetting it, power on and off. Nothing. Any suggestions on how to start over or get this thing working?
    Thanks,

    David_957, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Try temporarily connecting your Mac to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) via Ethernet. After you get it configured you can disconnect the Mac's Ethernet connection to the AEBS.

  • ISight camera green light keeps blinking.

    using a macbook pro with retina display.
    The green light keeps blinking when not in use. 
    The camera is still able to function.

    If you are concerned about the blinking although your camera works, contact Apple Support or  an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Have connection to base station, solid green light but no internet ??

    Hello,
    At my wits end. I have a a brand new Airport Express, a brand new Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium and an older model Westell Wirespeed DSL modem. Although I have a solid green light on the Airport base station, and have no problem communicating and printing wirelessly, I cannot connect to the internet. All indications from the Airport Utility show a normal connection with a signal strength of 'very good' to 'excellent'. I configured Airport to DHCP, which is what my ISP (Verizon) provides. Sometimes upon startup, my computer first tries to connect to an 'unknown network' and I have to manually switch to the Airport network I created. I've been through this at least half a dozen times, resetting the modem, the base station and re-setting up the network but no luck getting on the internet so far. What am I missing here? Thank you!

    If anyone happens to stumble on this, I solved the issue on my own. The TC/IPv4 protocol on the PC's wireless network properties was set to a static IP address. Once I reset it to dynamic, it worked fine.

  • Qosmio X500 won't start and the power LED is blinks every 5 seconds

    Hi,
    I need help my X500 won't start now. I tried to start the NB as usual and suddenly the X500 wont boot or even power up.
    If I press power button it doesnt make any sound, the power LED on button and the second power LED just bliks once and turns of, and keep blinking every 5 seconds.
    I tried to:
    * remove battery and power up with AC only
    * power with battery only
    * remove battery hold power button for 30 seconds and more athen power with AC only, battery only
    but it didn't helped.
    I checked the AC & Battery LEDs, but they are not flashing, they are just RED, so there is not proble in battery or AC.
    Any idea where could be the problem?
    Thanks for help

  • Front LED Light Flash Once Every 3 Seconds

    As what I read from the previous post, the front LED light flash once every 3 seconds meant that rams were not installed. However, I can turn on the G5 (Tower) couple days ago. After I came back from vacation, it did not allow me to turn it on. In addition, I have already tried to reseat the ram, and it did not work. Any suggestion to fix this problem?

    Hi Teddy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    After I came back from vacation, it did not allow me to turn it on.
    If it was unplugged from the AC that could drain the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan...
    See which one your G5 has...

  • My macbook pro screen blinks every 10 seconds

    Is there any solution for a blinking screen?
    Seems to be blinking about every 10 seconds, makes it very had to compose an email as when it blinks i will lose my typing ability.
    I think it started around the time of the last OS upgrade.
    Has anyone else experianced this problem?

    I have the same issue with mine and sadly I missed the date to get Applecare on this machine (they usually call but this time around they didn't).  ***** that I didn't get this resolved before my warranty ran out .. I'm certainly not going to shell out for a replacement motherboard out of pocket.  I now use the 9600 graphics exclusively and can almost watch my battery drop by the minute.
    On a side note I'm not very impressed with the quality control Apple has had with their portables in the last few years.  I bought this unit refurbished and it took two units to get one that worked properly, and even then this one never did as it's had this video blinking issue since day one.  The problem is I didn't really notice it until recently when I started using it running more often on battery and decided to use the mobile chipset to save battery time.  This is the third MBP I've had and their 3rd MBP that's had motherboard issues.
    When it comes time to replace this one I'm seriously considering going with a macbook air or something else.  Can't justify spending the money on more MBP's with such terrible track records.

  • 40rv52u won't start, loud static, solid green light, no backlight

    Hey everyone,
         So, it appears that we had a brownout yesterday, and it also appears that the brownout has jacked up my trusty Toshiba 40rv52u (2008, 40 inch LCD).
         Upon plugging in the device to power, it immediately attempts to turn on, at which point the green power light comes on, but no backlight, no fan sound, no humming, no picture, no nothing. Just a cheeky little green light that claims everything is fine.
         When left alone, after about 5-10 seconds of being "on," the television begins emitting this horrible, intermittent, 90's modem-style-SCREECHING static at near maximum volume through the internal speakers.
         The TV will respond to both the Power Switch on the unit itself, as well as via the Toshiba Remote Control. The same effects are present regardless of which power on method chosen.
         Toshiba Phone Support had me power off the television for a short while (I've already left it unplugged overnight, pressing POWER periodically to drain the capacitors), and attempt to clear any remaining power by holding the POWER BUTTON for 20s. To no avail. He also had me try doing a few things with the Remote, which also didn't work.
         I'm wondering if this is a common side-effect of serious damage. My TV has actually done this little gig once before, at which point I unplugged everything, left it off for 30m, and attempted to restart and it came back just fine like normal.
         I don't have any other issues with the television, and when it isn't doing this it actually appears to work just fine, have no problems switching resolutions (used as computer monitor via HDMI), changing settings, switching channels, navigating the menus. Even the onboard speakers work fine, although they don't get used.
         Is there a secret factory reset function somewhere? Has my Television really just been destroyed, even through a surge protector? Does the loud static interference sound point to anything specific? I saw some others on a different forum referring to loud static sounds potentially indicating a bad "SMPS" (Switching Mode Power Supply).
         The Toshiba rep pointed me in the direction of a local servicer, but the problem is that it's hardly worth it to spend $150USD-$250USD on repairing a Television that I purchased for near $300ish in the first place. . .3 years ago. . .or more. . .
         Anyway, thanks for help, hopefully somebody else has encountered this before, maybe with some better results than I have so far. Thanks!

    Honestly, leaving it unplugged from power is the closest to thing a secret factory reset. As far as I'm aware, it soudns like it requires servicing. Maybe someone else in the community will have a different idea.

  • Upgrade to 10.4.5 Caused Spotlight & Clock to Blink Every 15 Seconds

    Installed Tiger 10.4.3 and everything worked great, then updated with Combo to 10.4.5 and the clock and Spotlight in upper right hand corner keep blinking once every 10 seconds. Can't use the Spotlight unless you catch it perfectly on that one second. Tried downloading manual version of update from Apple, and it goes all the way to the end and then Safari quits. Updated through Software Update. Went to Date & Time and if i check the box for Date & Time it just unchecks itself.

    Computer crashed not long after this!! Long story!!

  • No Green Light with new AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    Bought new AirPort Extreme 802.11n today. DSL works fine with LINKSYS router but only get blinking Amber light with new APE. I am using 10.3.9 so can not use Utility CD as it requires 10.4. Do I have to upgrade system to 10.4 to get APE to work.

    Thanks for help. I upgraded to OS X as you all suggested and was able to use AirPort Extreme utility to access web and get the green light. I had to determine how I was connected to internet by DSL provider (PPOE) and needed to insert my mail ID (e-mail address) and my mail password. I was able to verify the PPOE connection by imputting the IP address of the Linksys connection on my browser and going to their web page.
    It took me a while but Apple support was available as it was a new purchase and they talked me thru.

  • TS3048 My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I've put new batteries in the mouse and the green light is blinking but it just won't connect!!! I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc!!! Pls help

    My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I have tried many times, put new batteries in etc. The Bluetooth appears to be on (as the wireless keyboard is working). I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc. Is the mouse dead perhaps? The green light is flickering so it should be ok???
    Thank you for your help
    Sully (frustrated Irishman)

    From what you say I would suggest the batteries are not connecting properly.
    First, thoroughly clean all contacts, both inside the mouse and the contact points of the batteries.  Use an alcohol based cleaner (whisky will do, hic!)  dampen (not wet) cotton buds for cleaning.
    Then check to see if they fit firmly.   If you can shake your mouse and hear things are loose, that will be the batteries.   Check the make.   Apple and Duracell, in that order, are the best batteries.   Where slight undersizing has been reported they are with other than the foregoing.
    You can resolve the size problem with appropriate packing but that will always be a makeshift solution.  After, reassemble, turn on the mouse and with luck, away you go. 
    Hopefully this will solve your problem but in any case let us know how you get on.

  • My .5tb Time Capsule's orange light is flashing. The internet and everything utelse is working fine, and I'm all backed up, so howcome it doesn't show the solid green light? What should I do?

    The orange light has been flashing for a couple days, and even if I unplug everything (Time Capsule & modem) and plug it all in again, still the flashing orange light. I'm sure it should be solid green. The internet connection seems to be working fine, so I'm wondering what's happening. What should I do?

    I don't think Apple will want it.. you can sell it on ebay etc.. but it is not worth a lot.
    Your TC needs a new power supply but it is now uneconomic to fix them. Apple do not supply any parts for their repair network.
    If you want to repair it yourself you can ..

  • Green light with a mind of it's own

    Lately, when I log into my MacBook, the green light for my built in iSight camera turns on by itself. I checked Sys Prefs in all accounts to see if it was starting at log in, but it's not. My activity monitor says that iChat agent is running, but even when I quit it, the green light remains on. I have restarted several times, but that light just wants to be on some days! Yesterday, there were no problems with this - it happens just a few days a week. What am I missing?

    Bring it to the Apple Store and ask them to take a look at the iSight camera for you.
