What does a red light near front camera signify?

My iPhone shows a tiny red light near its front camera, what does it mean when its on?

The red light is the digital in light, that is how it reads the headphone jack. The reason the sound doesn't work is because a switch to turn the speakers back on is stuck (note that if you boot the computer, you will hear the startup tone).
There are several ways to fix this...
Some have found that putting the headphone plug in and out several times (maybe twisting it a little) will work.
Others have used a toothpick to adjust the switch (I don't advise this because the toothpick may break).
Instead of a toothpick, many have used a paperclip (probably best to use an insulated one). I couldn't get this to work, but I would suggest straightening, folding in half, then twisting the paperclip and moving it around in the port.
You can also use a sewing pen/needle.
I have seen all of these methods online, but they didn't work for me. I took a que from this instrucable and cleaned my jack with a dry q-tip. I then cut off most of the end and turned it around inside the port. This worked, but after I put the headphones back in the same problem came up, I just did the same procedure again and it worked again (even after I plugged the headphones back in and took them out).
PS: I woud suggest putting some q-tips and possibly some scissors in your MacBook bag in case the problem arises on the move.

HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

Hello Simon,
I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

What does the red light above the speaker mean?

Hi,
I have an Iphone 4 running IOS5. Just this morning, I woke up and a little red light was glowing above the ear speaker. The phone will not turn on, and is otherwise dead. I tried the hard restart and that doesn't work. Plugging into external power, or plugging into the computer does nothing.
Please help!

try it this time.

What does the red bubble mean that is near the phone symbol and moves over to the vm symbol when phone is turned on

What does the red bubble mean that appears near the phone symbol then moves over temporarly to the VM symbol, when first turning the phone on. It goes away with a few seconds

It means you have no signal, or if on the VM icon, it means to visual voicemail. Sounds like you're just getting it temporarily until the phone establishes a signal.

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

I can't hear my phone calls unless I put it on speaker. Tried cleaning by blowing on earpiece and headphone jack and pushing near front camera and earpiece speaker...no luck. HELP!

I can't hear my phone calls unless I put it on speaker. Tried cleaning by blowing on earpiece and headphone jack and pushing near front camera and earpiece speaker...no luck. HELP!

If you've tried everything mentioned you probably have a failed earpiece. One option is to get a BlueTooth headset and use it for all calls. It will be cheaper than the $199 out-of-warranty replacement price from Apple (if it's still in warranty or AppleCare it will be free). Good BT headsets can be had for around $40. And it will hold you over until the Next New Thing from Apple is available

Satellite L500D - What is that annoying red light on front Panel?

Hello there,
On my L500D I have the normal five system indicator lights on the front panel of the computer base, where they are supposed to be. But then, to the left of these lights there is this annoying red light that is very distracting.
But what is even +more+ annoying that not one, +not one+ owners manuals that I have read makes any mention of it, +not even a hint+. The owners manual mentions the other lights in their diagrams, +but not this one+. :-(
Now, I'm assuming that it is something really simple, and I am publicly displaying just how blind or dumb (or both) i really am. :-) But for the love all things Holy, and before I loose all my hair, can somebody tell me just what that red light is? ?:|
And, while you're at it, maybe you can tell me how to turn it off!! That would be very novel experience at the moment. B-)
Don't get me wrong, I really love my new L500D, my best investment by far, and it goes like the clappers, and I would write a wacky advert jingle about it and broadcast it across the world... if not for that annoying red light. ;-)
Please Help! (i)

Thanks a lot, guys!
I told you I was dumb, or blind. I fixed the problem. The annoying red light is now gone. Woohoo! :D But just for the record, I checked Jeka's link and found it meantioned and shown just as he said. But then I checked my owners manual again, the one on my HDD, and I am afraid that it is not mentioned anywhere, and if by some quirk of fate that it truely is there, then it must be very well hidden. None of the diagrams show it at all. Just my luck... :-(
Anyway. Thanks again, guys, my problem is solved. :p

Why is there a red light where my camera is on my iPhone five? It's only visible in the dark.

I'm very concerned. I searched it and I read that it was a defect in the iPhone.

The only thing next to the front camera and receiver would be the proximity sensor, depending on the light you might see a little red dot, similar to the size of the front camera.

What does the red number mean?

Airport Utility is displaying a red badge with the number 1 next to the icon for my Airport Extreme, which extends my network with an Airport Time Capsule. What does it mean? If it is indicating an update, shouldn't something happen when I click it? Clicking it opens up the inform balloon with an Edit button. But I see nothing inside the Edit to indicate what I am supposed to do.
Thanks for the help,
Van

There is no Update button, just an Edit button.
The message under the amber dot is:
Extended Network
This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you're trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network.
This base station was powered down a few days ago because I was having new carpet put in. The base station is back in its normal place within the house, where it worked perfectly before. I checked the password to the network it is extending, and it is correct. I have powered down the base station, then powered it up, and still the same result.
Any other thoughts? What if I were simply to click Ignore?

Why does the Red Light at the top keep flashing?

I have no missed calls, emails, messages, instant messages, vmails, but the red light is still flashing... what else could it mean?

For me it was weather bug causing it.
