The indicator light on my apple tv flashes constantly. theres a message appears on my tv to connest it to itunes

why does the indicat
or light flash constantly on my apple tv

Use a micro-USB cable to connect Apple TV to your computer reset through iTunes. These are common cables that come with many digital devices, such as digital cameras. If you do not have one, they are inexpensive and can be purchased at Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc.
Have a nice day.

I have just got an Airport time Capsule for back up how do I do it? Do I put the ethernet cable into the back of my sky hub because when I do that the amber light on my Time Capsule flashes amber. Please talk in simple terms as I am a

I have just got an Apple Airport time capsule to back up my one year old iMac......how do I do it? I have tried putting an ethernet cable into the time capsule and to my sky hub, all I get is a flashing amber light, can anyone help I am a silver surfer not used to Apple products, but love them, plus I don't understand half of the jargon....HELP please

Apple's Setup Guide for the Time Capsule is pretty simple and clear for most users, and you don't indicate at what point or step that you are getting stuck.
So, please go to page 8 in your Setup Guide to review the topic of Plugging In Your AirPort Time Capsule.
The Sky hub will likely have 4 Ethernet <--> ports on the back of the device. Pick any one that you want and connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port that you choose.
Then, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN (circle of dots) port as shown in the Setup Guide.
Continuing with the instructions on page 8 of the Setup Guide, power up the Time Capsule by connecting the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule to a wall AC jack.
Note that the instructions indicate that the indicator light will be solid amber during startup, and it will change to blinking amber during the setup. The light will remain blinking amber until you have configured the Time Capsule at which time the light will turn green.
Next, go to page 12 of the Setup Guide to see the information to Use your Mac or iOS device to set up your AirPort Time Capsule.
You indicated in your tag line that you were using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and since that will exceed the minimum requirement of a Mac using OS X (10.7.5) as noted in the guide, you can use your Mac to set up the Time Capsule.
Continuing with the instructions on page 12 of the Setup Guide......
1. Open AirPort Utility on your Mac. It is located as follows: Finder (the smiley face on the dock) > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
2. Select your AirPort Time Capsule and click Continue. You won't be able to do this, but read further......If you do not see the AirPort Time Capsule that you want to configure, choose it from the WiFi status menu in the menu bar, at the top of the screen.
So, clicking on the WiFi icon will yield a small window that looks like this:
The example below shows an AirPort Extreme. You will see Time Capsule on your screen. Click on Time Capsule.
When you click on Time Capsule, that will get the setup wizard going. it will take a minute to analyze the network, then display a screen that looks similar to the illustration below, except that you will see a picture of a Time Capsule on your screen
3. Continuing with the Setup Guide.......Follow the onscreen prompts to create a new network
Network Name...........Type in a simple name that you want to call your network. Do not use the suggested name.
Base Station Name....Type in a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule. Mine is TC, for example.
Password...................Type in a password that will be used for both the network and the Time Capsule. Write that down.
Verify..........................Type in the password again to Verify
Click Next
The setup wizard will configure everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
The Time Capsule is now set up and it will display a green light.

The indicator light doesn't work anymore

I have a older Apple TV and the indicator light doesn't work anymore. It flashes yellow when it's plugged in then nothing afterwards. It used to be green. It also doesn't want to update from iTunes anymore either

I get the same thing, but I'm concerned about mine since it doesn't sleep always when the lid is closed. It then starts to get really hot if I have it in my backpack when its closed but not sleeping.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? I'm new to Apple Laptops.

Dock has moved lower with Mountain Lion. This truncates the indicator light below the dock. Has anyone solved this problem?

I'm confused. I just got an email from Apple Support Community (updates) and I see that a "baltwo" response is marked "This solved my question" (no offense directed towards baltwo). The question just seems to be more defined, not resolved. This is an Apple OS problem (seemingly) and needs to be directed towards a technical representative, not the community. I would ask that if anyone knows how to push this issue towards Apple, that is where the solution lies.
File a bug report with Apple via feedback. Do note that this goes through marketing and sales. No telling when it'll get to engineering. Alternatively, if you want to report this issue directly to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.

Hi, The computer in my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 isn't showing up in Skype (the indicator light doesn't show and it doesn't show in Skype preferences). Also Photo Booth doesn't recognize a camera. What can I check for please?

Hi Lee again..
Please do not startup duplicate topics. I responded to you here > Hi, The camera in my MacBook Pro 10.6.8...: Apple Support Communities
Sometimes navigating the forums can be difficult.. we understand that.

I install 2 new batteries on 2 different Magic Mice, close the battery compartment securely but the indicator light does not even turn on.

I install 2 new batteries on 2 different Magic Mice, close the battery compartment securely but the indicator light does not even turn on.

If these are older mice, the battery compartment may be soiled by leakage from the previous batteries.
Remove the new batteries, thoroughly clean the terminal points inside the compartment, wipe over the new batteries, reinsert ... and try again. Note. Use only good quality batteries, Eneloop, Energiser, Apple or Duracell. Other batteries, particularly unbranded ones may be slightly too small in length.

My Macbook Pro has a semi new adapter that has lost the indicator light.

My Macbook Pro has a semi new adapter that has recently lost the indicator light. The icon on the desktop reads- not charging. Any big movement and it shuts off. I checked to see about the SMC Firmware update (1.4) tried to download but can't. It says I don't need it. What to do?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Probably the display or the graphic card are damaged. As it's a hardware problem, take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get the computer diagnosed and repaired if needed

Why don't the indicator lights come on under the icons in the Dock anymore?

Hi,
A seemingly silly question, but it's bugging me.
The indicator lights under the icons in the Dock have stopped lighting up when a program is active. How do I turn them back on?
Thanks!

Did you try logging out and back in again? That should clear it up.

My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

I have the same issue.
The magsafe goes orange for about 20 seconds, the battery shows 0% then it goes to a black X indicating no battery installed.
With a new battery the same happens, although it can run on battery but does not charge.
It runs fine on mains power, the green light is always lit.
I have tried several things so far:
1. Cleaned the magsafe contacts on cable and macbook
2. Reset SMC and PRAM
3. Installed latest battery update
4. Tried new battery
5. Put old battery in fridge for an hour
I work in IT and am fairly confident taking it apart, what should I try next?
Some people recommend a new battery connector, which doesn't seem to make sense as the battery has never been removed before. Also some people say it will need a new logic/motherboard.
Any experts here managed to sucessfully fix one of these?

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?

I Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U? If I click either yes or no, the same box just reopens. As far as I know, I have not done anything with iTunes U. The software is up to date and I have also reinstalled itunes. Any ideas?

Since this problem, I was able to reinstall again and reboot, and then 'stop' while the library was being opened (that was another window that I could not close, that would come up before the error message, this time I chose to stop it). Now only music I have purchased appears, none of my other >1,000 albums I manually added via my CD collection. About 10% are in different music folders (I don't know why they aren't in the same one), but the other 90% are missing. Any ideas??

HT202157 I just ran Apple TV update now the indicator light on it keeps flashing and nothing works

How do I turn off blinking light after Apple TV update

Welcome to the Apple Community danrugg.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
