The yellow light keeps returning

My airport express keeps getting a yellow light. When I got to the utility it tells me to update the firmware. I do so and the light goes green for a while but it keeps returning to yellow and telling me to update the firmware.
What can I do to ensure the firmware update takes so I don't have to keep doing it over and over again?

Welcome to the discussions!
Make a note of the configuration settings on your AirPort Express so you can use them again if you wish.
Perform a "factory default reset" on the AirPort Express to return it to the original new out of box settings and then update and reconfigure the device.
The easiest way to return the Express to default settings is as follows:
Pull the Express from power
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after approximately 10 seconds
Method 2 is as follows:
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Locate the Base Station menu at the top of the screen (next to the Apple icon)
Click "Restore Default Settings"

My Time Capsule is Working but the Yellow Light is Blinking

My Time Capsule backs up wirelessly fine but it just started blinking the yellow light.
I performed a back up and it went smoothly but the light still blinks.
What do I do to stop it or is it there a problem?

See #A2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). Also see #D4 there.
I'm having a similar problem as the original poster; 4 computers and one server backup to the Time Capsule and the drive is full -- but there doesn't seem to be any way to recover from this impasse other than nuking the entire backup and starting over from scratch!
See #D2 in Troubleshooting. If the backups actually fail, see #C2 there.
That sounds like a lot of data backing-up to one Time Capsule. What's the total being backed-up from each Mac, and the size of the TC? Time Machine usually needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up.
Isn't there a way to just throw out the oldest files and keep going?
Ordinarily, Time Machine will do just that, as long as you don't have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options.

I am trying to setup airport express but my computer is showing no airport base found and the yellow light is blinking, I am trying to setup airport express but my computer is showing no airport base found and the yellow light is blinking

I plugged in my airport express to my modem and my phone and iPad are both showing no base found. The yellow light is blinking on the base

I didn't realize you had to create a network name from your computer first I thought it was all done from the airport icon. Once I setup the network from settings on my phone it worked great. Thank you for your fast reply! :)

Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.

Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.

When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

A slow, blinking amber light indicates that there is a setting that needs to be checked, or an update may be available for the Time Capsule.
A solid amber light indicates that either the hard drive has failed, or the power supply is having problems. This link may provide some help:

I had a similar problem. Here is how I resolved the issue.
1. Remove Network Connect
2. Run Terminal and remove /usr/local/juniper and everything within the juniper directory.
3. Reboot the machine and reinstall Network Connect
4. Test if you can now connect.
During removal, you may encounter permission denied error, you will need to change the permission to 777. For example "sudo chmod 777 nc".

The update failed - using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:

Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

Hi kcp,
Do you happen to notice a pattern to the blinking lights? Maybe a series of flashes and then a pause? How many flashes between each pause? This information could point to specific error that we can troubleshooting. Also, since I'm asking questions: What operating system are you using?

What happens when the status light keeps flashing quickly?

My status light on the front keeps flashing quickly. Is there a fix for this?

If it's within the warranty period, then return and exchange it. If not, then you have to do a restore with a USB Mini cable.

Hi, My Apple TV 1st generation is showing the apple logo and the amber light keeps blinking, after a while it shows a little Apple TV with a question mark blinking on top, any ideas?

Well my question says it all. I wasn´t using the apple tv, but noticed that the amber light started to blink, so I put it on the tv and there was the apple logo. I did the recory with the "MENU" + "-" button, but came back the same. After a while it showed a little Apple TV image with a "?" mark blinking on top. I disconected it the whole night but today is doing the same. Is like it got stuck on the restart. Can anyone help me?

Fixed it after trying everything listed here with no success.
First you will need to make sure you have the ability to connect your ATV box directly to your router via a cable. This issue is directly related to networking from my experience and once connected to wifi you will have a nightmare of a time to complete the fix.
1. Make sure you have NO network connection to the ATV box.
2. Hard reboot ATV using remote (aim remote at device and hold "menu" and "down/minus" until amber light blinks)
3. When ATV reboots to a diagnostic menu select "Factory Restore"
4. After Restore has completed select a language
5. You cannot skip the the wifi selection screen without setting up a connection, however: DO NOT SETUP WIFI! Instead plug in the direct cable to your router, and hit the menu button on your remote. You will see "connecting to network."
6 Once you are past the start up splash video you will eventually arrive at the connect to itunes screen which will start looping the apple logo and a new code about every 2 seconds. Disconnect the network cable.
7. After a few seconds the loop will stop. Press the menu button to skip the itunes connection (you will be able to do it later.)
8. At the following menu go to Settings > Screen Saver > Set delay for "Never"
9. Go back to the main menu, then go to Settings > Network > Configure TCP/IP > Click on "Using DHCP"
9. Click "Done"
10. Connect cable to router, and then proceed with updating your ATV.
After I was updated the problem did not return.
I have completed this solution personally twice on the same unit. After getting updated and stable, I recovered my ATV again, and had the same problems again. Repeated these steps and good to go.
Hope this helps someone, and good luck!
