Steady /constant orange light

I have a 1Gb shuffle. Today, I charged it, when I unplugged it, the orange light stayed lit, and when I turn it off the orange light stays on for a moment or two, and then turns off.
When I turn it back on again the orange light comes on again, and stays on.
The shuffle will not play any music, and is not recognised by OSX or Windows.
What do I do?
I cant use the iPod reset tool, as its not recognised.

I have the same problem. After charging, light stays orange, even when it it switched to the off position. Light eventually turns off after several minutes. Not recognized when plugged into various USB ports on various machines. I think it may be brick-ed.

    I keep getting the flashing orange and green light

    get a constant orange light ! I have tried resetting,
    restoring everything but i still getthesame message !
    I am trying to sync from windows media player - does
    anyone know how I can export this music onto itunes
    ????Please help !!!!
    Import it into iTunes or burn it to CD as mp3 and Import/Add to iTunes library...
    Regarding the lights: green and orange flashing sequence means you have NO playable music on your Shuffle.
    Pressing and holding PLAY locks the Shuffles controls, signified by the orange light.
    Have you read the manual?

  • Shuffle has constant blinking orange light when connected to computer

    The shuffle constantly has a blinking orange light when connected to the computer. Itunes and the computer recognizes the ipod. I am getting the error, "The device 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later' when I try to eject the ipod. I have tried to restore the ipod and downloading itunes again and it doesn't work. Please help.

    I received an ipod shuffle for Christmas and am having the same problem. When I try to eject it (from either itunes or from "Safely Remove hardware" on Windows, i am told that there is another application trying to use the hardware with similar messages to those above.
    It even manages to freeze my computer on Shut Down and on Startup if i leave it connected, and only when I disconnect it does the computer start.
    i too would appreciate any help in resolving this.

  • Constant orange Power light!

    Hi,
    I'm very new to BT Broadband, having had it installed on Wednesday. All was good until last night when the Hub3 started restarting then going into power saving mode (which I had not activated on the Hub Manager).
    If I turn it on and off again the orange light stays on. It will not restart and nether will it reset.
    Now and again the orange light will flash, only for it to become solid again.
    Help!
    Thanks 
    Solved!

  • Flashing orange lights between steady blue

    Hey guys!!
    I've had BT broadband for 18 months and never had any problems. BT home hub 2.0
    This morning, my internet was dropping (flashing orange lights on braodband and phone icons on the hub). I rang BT and they informed me there was an issue in my area and it would be fixed in a few hours.
    I never fully lost service...it just kept dropping out and flashing the broadband and phone icons orange and then reconnecting again and going to blue.
    I rebooted my router at the time they said, 4pm. At this time, the service status website said the problem had been fixed and so did the person I spoke to on the phone.
    Now its 730 and im still having the same problems. My lights are all blue, and then every 20-30mins or so the broadband and phone lights will flash orange for 20 seconds and then finally go back blue. Sometimes I have to reboot the router to get them back to blue.
    Is this just because there has been a recent problem and the router is just settling down again and getting the best speed back? Or something else?!
    Thanks

    The orange flashing light only happens when a resync happens and the speed can go up or down.

  • Power Adapter flashes orange light and won't power on.

    I woke up this morning to find that my power adapter's light is off and it is still plugged into the surge protector.
    1. When I push the button on the bottom, I get all 4 lights saying that it is charged.
    2. When I plug the laptop with another adapter, I get a constant flashing orange light from the power adapter. Mine will flash orange several times and then go black. It's like it's trying to communicate something to me but I don't understand its language!!
    3. I have tried resetting the computer, that didn't work.
    4. I have tried powering up without the battery in the machine, that didn't work.
    Any ideas out there?? I'm thinking that I need a new logic board but I also haven't backed up my info. Any assistance on either of these issues?

    I found out that someone had spilt chicken soup on my laptop and it pretty much destroyed the logic board, optical drive, processor and other technical stuff.
    *heavy sigh*

  • Blinking orange light

    I plugged my ipod in to charge it as i have done before. It does not seem to be charging it has been plugged in for three days and the orange light just keeps blinking. I am clueless on ipods and what to do. All I know is that you are not meant to disconnect it when the light is blinking....what should I do?

    The status light will blink orange as long as your iPod is mounted as a volume on your computer.
    Open iTunes and 'eject' the iPod from there. The status light will then stop blinking and turn to either steady orange or steady green.
    If you don't use your iPod for data storage, you can set up iTunes to eject it automatically by deselecting the option "Enable disk use" in the iPod settings. However, this will only work when iTunes is running, so make sure that the option "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" is selected.

  • Orange light on router

    i have got a constant flashing orange @ light on my router, it's a Sagem F@ST2504a4G. When i turn on the power (i dont have the power on when it's not in use) for the router and my pc, it wont connect and the said light is flashing. If i shut it down again it will eventually connect after several attempts. I have checked all connections and done a reboot of the router all with no sucess, this has been happening everytime i want to go online for the last week. if i put a phone into the socket used it works fine. Any suggestions?

    It could well be then that yours issue is unrelated then and just a coincedence or that the outage issue is more widespread than first thought.
    The only advice is to keep on at them to fix it(use the Sky service app for Android or Apple smartphones if you can as you can request a call back from it should the call wait time be longer than 2 minutes).

  • Shulle 2G does not charge, although orange light is on?

    My Shuffle is now charging for about 6 hours (first tine charging), but the orange light does not turn into green.
    The orange ligt is on all the time, it does not blink.
    I´m using win xp and itunes is installed.
    i connected the shuffle to the computer, disconnected it in itunes und closed itunes. The light stayed on, therefore i thougt i would charge.
    The icon for savly remove hardware can be seen in the systemtray. is that right? it does not show the shuffle as an device (D: or F:). That is ok, too, isn´t it?
    My Shuffle ist turend of while charging.
    what am i doing wrong? why does the light do not turn into green?

    this seems to be a big time flaw...mine won't hold a
    charge either, just blinks yellow while in supposed
    charge mode...
    This is a function of your OS which is seeing your shuffle as a data device (thus the "blinking yellow")
    The shuffle charges as long as the orange LED is is on irrespective of blinking or steady.
    when you disconnect and turn on, the
    power light is green for a few seconds then goes
    out...
    That's what it's supposed to do when disconnected to indicate its charge status.
    I've tried the "safely disconnect hardware"
    routine to no avail..songs are on the unit so its not
    that problem...what gives Apple?
    not a happy shareholder
    see this for an additional wrinkle:

    IF you're really a shareholder, you should be dancing in the streets given the latest runup in Apple's share price...

  • Solid orange light on my time capsule

    I have a constant/solid orange light on my time capsule.  My iMac cannot see the disk and therefore the backup has failed for weeks.  It's not making any strange noises. 
    I've turned it off for a few days and it's the same.
    Has the disk failed?

    Unfortunately, a solid amber light is usually an indication that the hard drive has failed. However, it can sometimes be an indication of a failure in the power supply section of the Time Capsule.
    In either case, the Time Capsule will need to be replaced....if in warranty or covered by AppleCare....or it might be possible to have the Time Capsule repaired.
    Your best bet is to take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one in your area....to let them take a look and discuss your options with you.....or, contact Apple Support directly.

  • Why does it flash a orange light

    The light on my time machine is usually a constant green, occasionally it flashes an orange light. What does this orange light mean and how do i fix it?

    To find out what the amber light is flashing.....
    On your Mac....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click directly on the word Status (2nd line on the summary page) and a window will open to explain why the Time Capsule is complaining....along with suggested remedies.
    If everything seems to be working OK on your network, the flashing light might be a notification that an update is availalbe for your Time Capsule.
    Now you know what to do the next time this happens

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

  • Constantly blinking orange light; no longer recognized by computer

    I just purchased my shuffle yesterday, connected it to my MAC, charged it (the light turned green), downloaded podcasts from I Tunes and everything seemed fine. I had to leave for a couple of hours and left the Shuffle in the docking station. I came back and the light has been blinking orange ever since (over 24 hours) and the Shuffle is no longer on my computer or recognized as a Device in I Tunes. I tried all the 5 "r's". Any other suggestions - other than taking it back to the store. I would think the product would have a longer life than 36 hours.

    I had the blinking orange light happen to my shuffle today when I connected to my XP machine which holds my iTunes.
    I tried uninstalling the device, changing the drive letter, changing the USB port it was connected to, the apple reset tool (garbage...). Nothing could get it to connect, I kept getting the message that the iPod was corrupted.
    Eventually I took it to my Apple, plugged it in, got it recognized no problem, synced and erased to that iTunes library then did the factory restore.
    Took it back to the PC, and was able to re-sync and rebuild the library on the shuffle from there.
    So the answer seems to be find a friend with an Apple or take it to your local Apple Store and have them restore the iPod from a Mac.
    It's a ghetto fix but I couldn't find any other way to get it to function on my PC

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.  I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it.  Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.
