What does varying battery led lights indicate ??

I own a hp probook 4530s.The battery led just above the plug in in the laptopp sometimes lights up in orange colour and sometimes its white in colour ?? is this a hardware fault or does it symbolically explains something??

On my laptops (Thinkpad 365 up to X61s) the battery- and charging- (plug-symbol) leds always are on as long the power supply is connected.
Both should turn off after unplug the power supply.
Is there set a threshold in the power manager? At which value ends increasing the charge state in the gauge?
What charge status will be shown in the powermanager on the battery-tab? Please upload a screenshot of the battery-tab to www.imageshack.us and link it here.

Open AirPort Utility, the application that you used to configure the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup.
Click directly on the word "Status" (2nd line) and a window will open to tell you why the Express is complaining. What is the message?
It might be a notification that an update is available for your Express.

Make sure you haveinstalled AirPort Utility and use it to get information about whatmight cause the status light to flash amber. See “If Your TimeCapsule Status Light Flashes Amber” on page 29.

What does "service battery" mean on my 2008 15 inch MB Pro

OK thanks.I thought it might just need to be "conditioned" by discharging and recharging or something else Apple does.

What does the green led on the WAN port indicate?

Does it indicate that there is a PHYSICAL connection or there is activity? If you have a bad cable between the modem and the WAN, will the WAN led light up? If the modem isn't operating correctly, will the WAN led light up?
The reason I ask...I have two Airport Extremes. The green led on the WAN port started acting finicky on the first one (the internet is down whenever the WAN led isn't lit). I could jiggle the ethernet cable just right and it would come back on. I changed ethernet cables, no change. I decided the WAN port must have a bad connection internally, so I switched over to the second Extreme. Same problem. It is highly unlikely that two Extremes have the exact same problem. If I could figure out what that green led on the WAN port actually means, I could diagnose this a little better.
To make it worse, I have an ISP that loves to blame Apple for all their internet problems, so I need hard proof that something may be wrong with their modem.

Does it indicate that there is a PHYSICAL connection or there is activity?
Both. A solid green light indicates that there is a "live" connection on the other end of the cable. Network activity will be indicated by a flashing green light.
If you have a bad cable between the modem and the WAN, will the WAN led light up?
No.
If the modem isn't operating correctly, will the WAN led light up?
Possibly. A malfunctioning modem may still provide a solid connection and thus the light may still be lit, but no flashing to indicate that there is no activity on the connection.
I could jiggle the ethernet cable just right and it would come back on. I changed ethernet cables, no change. I decided the WAN port must have a bad connection internally, so I switched over to the second Extreme. Same problem. It is highly unlikely that two Extremes have the exact same problem.
Since you already tried multiple cables and multiple base stations, I would tend to believe the issue is with the ISP's modem.

What does "service battery" indicate?

I just saw that my battery condition is "service battery". Does this mean that I need a replacement, or is it safe to continue to use this battery? I just bought this computer less than 2 years ago and I have already needed to replace my hard drive and now my battery??

"Service Battery" usually does mean the battery needs replacement, though the message has sometimes been reported to come and go for a while before the battery's performance becomes unacceptably poor. I wouldn't ordinarily expect a two-year-old battery to need replacement, though.
What are your battery's Full Charge Capacity and Cycle Count as shown in System Profiler/System Report? And is this a 13", 15" or 17" MacBook Pro?

What does blinking white indicator light mean on droid razr hd?

Thanks!

The notification light blinks green when you have a new message or notification, and appears red when you start charging a dead battery.
Tip: If you receive a white indicator while charging, this indicates the battery does not have enough power for device to turn on.
In some cases you may notice different LED colors like blue or purple.
Android allows third party applications to control the multi-color LED and utilize other colors.
Facebook for example may use blue for its notifications. If you seeing notifications from other third party applications you can check the application settings for more details.

Battery LED light randomly working, why?

Hi all,
I have read past discussions on this but felt like there was no up to date one and no real issue was resolved.
I have a Macbook Pro 15-in Early 2011. Lately the battery has been bipolar and basically works when it feels like it. It is not an outlet issue because sometimes it will decide to work on a certain outlet and than another time it will not.
I have cleaned the charger and the part of the computer where it plugs in as recommended on the boards but that does not seem to be involved with the issue.
I was going to contact Apple Support but it is no longer supported and I don't feel like paying for an answer you all may very well know.
Charger is in good shape, I don't know why it's suddenly acting like this.
Any ideas?

You state the charger is good. What testing have you done to confirm this? Plugged the "good charger" into a different Mac and confirm it charges the other Mac w/o problems? Or maybe used a different charger with the problem Mac and it has the same issue?
Either way would be acceptable for testing/confirming that indeed your charger is good. Not being critical, just thorough.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, which has re-booting problems. Also what does the spinning beach-ball indicate?

Hi, I have an early 2008 Mac Pro which has re-booting problems.
Processor speed is: 2.8
Memory: 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
2 x 28GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10
My Mac Pro keeps re-booting. Last year I had to replace my graphics card. My original card was the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 255MB, and that is what I have now. At this precise moment my Mac Pro is running perfectly, except that it is slow and the spinning beach-ball keeps appearing. I have managed to do some work with the disk utilities, verifying, cleaning and partitioning. Some errors were found and when it was cleaned this seemed to help my Mac Pro to function properly. Although I am able to use my Mac Pro now, from day to day I still experience re-boot problems. Also quite unexpectedly my mac dictionary has an error, it closed itself down and will not open at all, I had the message to say that a report will be sent to Apple.
I have tried starting my computer with an external hard drive fitted via a USB cable, I use for back-ups. This worked and I was able to wipe my hard drive clear and replace all info from the back up I had done only a few days ago.
This worked for a few days and then the same problem started again.
I am beginning to wonder if I need to buy a new hard drive.
If there is anyone who has some answers to help me solve my problem, I would be most grateful.
Robert

When you have the beachball activity, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.

What Does Blue Dot in Sidebar Indicate?

I recently posted an entry to my blog and I noticed two things immediately afterwards:
1) A small blue dot appears next to my "Blog" heading in the sidebar. Usually, the same dot appears next to a specific blog entry in the Topbar, indicating a new comment. I don't know what the sidebar dot represents.
2) A red dot with a "1" appears on the iWeb logo in my dock, very similar to when I have a new email when I open the Mail application.
I've searched to find an answer, but I'm coming up short. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Those dots are each a different way of telling you that someone has posted a new comment on your blog. In iWeb, display your blog's Entries page (thus viewing the new comment) and both dots will disappear.

What does a red airplay icon indicate?

Since upgrading to ios 6, when using airplay the icon is always red not blue, when playing from Music on my ipad3. The airplay is still functioning ok just wondering if there's a reason why it's red there and blue everywhere else?

Hey Chuck,
I had the same problem, and today I found a solution on an other forum that worked for me.
First you need to open the library folder for your user. The library is hidden in Lion, but you can open the folder by typing "open ~/Library/" in Terminal. Then go to 'Preferences' and delete the file 'com.apple.finder.plist'. Finally, type "killall Dock" in Terminal to restart Dock. I hope this will work for you as well.

What does error code 150:30 indicate in Photoshop Elements?

Recently I downloaded a driver tuner for ATI drivers which have become inactive on my computer or outdated. Don't know if this has anything to do with this recent message in Photoshop Elements. I tried to manage photos in Elements and got the error message 150:30 and was told to restart my computer. I've restarted twice and given up.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
