Steady yellow light while charging

Hi, i just got a new shuffle and i'm not sure if i'm the only one with this problem. I have tried searching around but to no avail.
When i connect the player, it starts charging with an amber status light. After a couple of hours, it changes to a steady yellow light instead of a steady green light.
Is there any problem with the player?
Thanks a lot.

That's the normal behaviour of the shuffle. That light not only indicates battery status, but also in use status. The light is organge to remind you that the shuffle is in use, so don't jsut remove it fromthe computer. You must first eject it through iTunes. When you disconnect the shuffle from the computer and press the battery button you'll see a green battery status light.
Here's more info on the different lights:

Steady Yellow Light

Hi,
I bought a used time capsule 2nd gen. about 5 months ago. It's been working fine and I even replaced the old 500GB with a new 1TB drive WD Green.
The yellow light is not flashing but is solid yellow since the first day I bought it (never had solid green showing), BUT it shows green on the airport utility with no
conflcts reported.
I Also have an airport extreme connected (wired roaming) to the base station (TC) that shows steady green.
Could it just be that the light on the TC is faulty since it shows green on the airport utility?
Thanks for the help.
PS: no overheating issue here and I also reseted the TC few times.

I'm not sure how much more effort you want to put into this.
Options:
Ignore the amber light
Place some white stickers over the light to cover it up entirely
Try a Factory Default Reset on the TC if you have not already done so.
Pull the power from the TC
Wait 5-10 minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the TC
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the TC to restart
Then try the configuration again
There is nothing more to try after this.

Blinking orange light while charging, done or not done

iPod shuffle 4th gen, using as hard drive too -- manual says it's either full or still blinking. Is there no way to know from the sync page? Maybe am repeating question already answered. If so, sorry, & thanks.

Hello Arlene,
Here is an article with more information about the blinking orange light on the iPod Shuffle 3th Gen.

This in particular:
In iTunes you can also see the level of charge on the device in the Summary tab when you have it connected.
Take care,

AE won't reset, light is steady yellow, flashes green every so often

My AE won't reset... I've tried soft, hard, and factory default resets. All it does is come back on with a steady yellow light that eventually turns green for a second, then goes back to steady yellow forever. If i let it sit unplugged for a long time, I can get it to do a reset, but once i restart it after changing the settings, it starts the problem all over again.
Anybody got a clue???

Marc, I can't give you any firm advice except to carry around the MagSafe adapter with you for a while.
If the battery charge percentage isn't dropping while you are using the computer plugged in, it seems the computer is properly running off the power adapter.
The display of percentage charge may or may not be correct. It's possible that all is OK and that the battery is good and can be recharged. Remember that a battery is a disposable item, with a finite number of charge cycles. You can check the capacity of the battery from About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > Power.
The only way you are going to find out for sure is to run the computer off battery power, perhaps with another calibration cycle.
If you subsequently find that the battery, after being discharged, won't charge then there's a problem. Time to call Apple.

My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What are my next steps?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
Thanks
-TB

Hi ..
The battery may need replacing.
Check the battery maximum cycle count > Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count
And check the adapter > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

You'll want to reset your SMC (System Management Controller). Instructions are simple:

Lost Network- Yellow Light Blink

I've had an Airport Network setup in my house for 1 year. It consists of an Airport Extreme 802.11n, Apple TV, and 3 Airport Expreses- one runs my printer and extends the range, the other 2 are setup for ITunes in different rooms.
2 days ago a woke up to find that neither of my computers (G5 and Macbook Pro) can find my network; however I still have excellent connectivity to the Internet. Additionally my Airport Extreme shows a steady green light except it flashes a yellow light one time every 30 seconds. ??? Does anyone have any ideas?

Progress,
I could not access the airport no matter what I tried.
Decided to take it to the office. Here a iBook and a Powerbook 17" saw the airport. I installed the network utility and while the airport was still blinking, they recognized it and I was able to configure it. When applying base station and network security, it stopped blinking yellow and turned green.
Now, I can see the network with the iBook (12 inch) and 17 Powerbook, but still nothing on the 12 inch Powerbook, no network and no airport. ***.

Steady red light + Blank screen

Today, as I got up, I noticed that my blackberry cure 8320 had a white screen. This has neever happened before, so I just removed the battery, and put it back in.
Something I noticed was that when I inserted the battery, a steady red light appeared for about six seconds, and the screen was completely blank. Thinking that this would go away, I stepped outside, and I got a call. The screen was still black. I was able to answer the call prefectly fine, but I couldn't interact with it in any other way other than the voice command button.
I've spent the whole day googling it, and it seems that I can't find a solution. Any help?
***Notes:
The blackberry I have is unlocked. I ordered it online from BestBuy.
It's a T-Mobile blackberry running on AT&T
---EDIT---
I've also tried to connect it to my laptop, and it works fine. I've re-installed my OS (4.5), restored it, deleted everything on it, and still no luck.

My son got up this morning with the same complaint, I now have it on while it is charging through the pc (although he said he charged it overnight via a mains plug) the battery is now at 15% so think that may have been the issue x

Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

I think I got an answer to my own question
If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

Xperia S does not turn on, red light when charging.

My phone, after spending a day on a boat, was low on battery (this was 2 hours after leaving on the drive home). It went from 6% battery to shutting down completely in a matter of seconds. I plugged it into my car charger immediately, but it has not turned on since. Previously i have had problems with the headphone jack not recognising if earphones were plugged in or not, but this usually resolved within a few minutes. On top of this i have once struggled to turn the phone on due to i believe a once off problem with the power button.
Recently the headphone jack has been playing up a lot more than usual, but it never resulted in this. I have never experienced any other problem with the phone. PROBLEM: Once it turned off, I have been unable to restart my phone. When charging it shows a dull red light like when charging less than 15% battery. I have charged it now, on and off using multiple different charges for 6 hours, and have left it on its original charger as i write this. The power button plus volume up has no effect. There is no vibrations when i turn on the device. The screen which usually loads something when charging, has not displayed anything since turning off. It does not connect to either an apple or windows computer with a usb cable, volume down key depressed or not. It does not get hot to touch while charging, and i remember according to AVG that the battery quality that day was "good". After 6 hours of charging, the red light is still there(and usually a full charge after 1.3 hours, leaves a green light) Put simply, the only responce of any kind i get from the phone is a red light when charging. What have i done? recharged the phone for 6 hours, tried power button, restart button combo, usb connection with both an apple and windows computer, i also put it in rice in case there was any water but did not change anything. anything changed? after 2 hours of charging on the wall, the red light disapeared... tried the above, nothing happened, unplugged the phone then replugged it in... red light. I will try to get it repaired shortly along with a broken PS3, but i would rather a solution, as both my work and social life heavily depend on it. thankyou in advance

If you have given it a good charge and still have no luck, I would advise running a software repair. This can be done with the phone powered off:
1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

Solid Amber/Yellow Light - Hardware Failure?

My Airport Extreme (Gigabit N, pre dual-band) was offline for a while and when I tried to power it up, I got a solid green light momentarily then a solid yellow light. Tried a soft reset (no effect) as well as a hard reset (hold reset button while powering up); I was able to see the Extreme in the Airport Utility but it quickly disappeared and won't come back.
Any amount of restarting (soft or hard) does not seem to pull it out of its solid yellow state. It's just over a year old; I have a bad feeling that this means the hardware is fried and won't be fixed by Apple?
Feedback appreciated.

Jeff, welcome to the discussions!
Sometimes after repeated reset attempts, the Extreme will lock up and a power down of 20-30 minutes will help the device reset. It's worth a try if you haven't done this yet, although I suspect that you have.
Unfortunately, the information in your post indicates that an internal component in the power supply section of the Extreme has likely failed, so you may want to contact Apple to review your options.

Steady green light on A1084. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete. Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it. Is there a fix?

Steady green light on A1084. Mac OS X 10.7.5. IMac. Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete. Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it and send a signal to airport express to play airtunes through my stereo amplifier. Is there a fix?

I plugged a model A1034 Airport Extreme Base Station into the Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem with an ethernet cable and now the AirPlay icon appears in the Itunes window immediately to the right of the volume control and I can select it and play Airtunes wirelessly through the A1038 Airport Express Base Station in another room connected to a stereo amplifier by a Monster mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable running from the output jack on the A1034 Airport Express Base Station into the CD jacks on the amp. The problem is that I have to select the Apple Network Airport Express Base Station as my network in order to select the Airport Express Base Station when I click the AirPlay icon, which means I have no Internet signal to the Imac. If I select the Airport Extreme Base Station or the Verzion modem as my network, then I have an Internet signal to the Imac, but the Airport Express Base Station is grayed out when I click on the AirPlay icon, so I cannot select the Airport Express Base Station and send tunes to the Airport Express. It would be nice to play Airtunes while simultaneously accessing the Internet. I don't understand your question about what program I am using for which I require AirPlay. I am not learned about computers in general, and even less so about Macs than PCs. I thought the program I was running was Itunes, and there was no separate program to run to use AirPlay for the purpose of sending a signal from the Itunes on the Imac to the A1084 Airport Express base station in a another room, and then out as described above to the stereo amplifier to listen to Itunes music remotely in the other room, without any kind of cable, wire, etc., connecting the Imac to the stereo amplifier. I would guess that the most common use for the A1084 is to play Itunes through a stereo in another room without the need to run wires from the computer to the stereo. I realize it would be easy simply to run a very long mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable across the floor connecting the Imac to the amp without the need to use AirTunes, Airplay or any kind of AirPort, but it would be both unsightly and a tripping hazard.

Black screen, steady power light... and it gets weirder

The other morning I turned on my 17" MacBook Pro that has my 30" Cinema Display hooked up to it and got a black screen on the 30" with a steady power light (no morse code flashing).
There was nothing different from the night before (when it did work). No software updates, no new installs, nothing. I have a second 30" display and hooked it up to be greeted with the same issue. After swapping power supplies and a host of other things, I determined that it wasn't the monitors, but the laptop itself.
I then hooked up a PC screen using a DVI adapter and got a picture. This led me to believe it might be a driver issue, so I re-installed the 30" display software to no luck. I then re-installed SnowLeopard with no luck as well.
After researching the problem online to no avail, I found a link to a 3rd party USB display driver:
http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php
When I installed this driver and restarted my computer, the 30" display showed an image again. However, when I shut down or restart the computer, the monitor no longer shows up and I have to re-install the 3rd party driver to get a picture.
I took it into Apple's Genius Bar and they deduced that, by process of elimination, it is a failed logic board. They ran their OSX through my comp and got no display on the test screen, which made them think it wasn't a software issue but a hardware issue.
But when talking to a long established and reputable 3rd party Mac repair shop, they weren't so sure, but were at a loss to explain the problem. They suggested I test the USB port and the firewire port, which worked fine upon testing. At that point, they were stumped.
Has ANYONE encountered this before or might have a suggestion/solution? I am having a hard time believing it is a logic board failure due to the above. PRAM has been reset and the monitor shows up sporadically upon safe boot startups without the 3rd party driver install.
Help!

Hello tsunshing,
Your computer is on but nothing will how on the screen.
Do a hard reset.
Turn the computer off.
Remove the power cable.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
Do you see any lights on the keyboard or the computer flashing?
Try to connect another monitor to the computer and see if you can get anything on the external screen.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.
