Why do I often get the blinking yellow?

I am having a problem understanding why on an irregular (but often) basis, I get the flashing yellow light. It doesn't seem to affect my time machine backups, and my wifi seems to be working just fine when this light is blinking. If I unplug my TC, and plug it back in, my green light comes on, then lasts that way for days. This is a first generation TC, so it has some age on it. BTW, I plug my desktop in to one of the ethernet outlets, but my air and iPhone connect via wifi. Any ideas?

Well I did indeed need a firmware update. That newest airport utility is way cool:)  Updated, and restarted to Green. My assumption is it solved the problem. I'll keep an eye on it for the near future. Thanks for the suggestion in the other thread!

  • As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. What causes this?

    As a novice computer user, I wonder why I'm often getting "white-out" (program/app/site I'm working in goes totally blank onscreen). This is when I'm Internet online. If it makes a difference, I'm working 99% of the time on battery, not AC, power. Some of the possibilities I'm guessing are: glitches in my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi providership?; staying too long on a site that's waiting for me to finish and "Submit"?; computer hardware prob (yikes, I hope not! It's brand new). Any ideas out there?

    When this 'white-out' occurs, is the display 100% white with no error message and no menu bar?
    Does this occur when you are using Wi Fi or connected to the Internet via the Ethernet cable?

  • I have downloaded 15 versions of Firefox this week - 8 were on Wednesday. Why can't I get the latest version the first time I download instead of having to download each change even though you make 8 changes in one day. This is getting tiresome.!!!!!

    When I first pull up Firefox it often says I'm not using the latest version. I go to the download page and start the download. Then when its completed and the start page comes up it usually says I don't have the latest version. I went through 8 downloads on Wednesday January 4 before I got the latest. Why didn't I get the latest version the first time I downloaded.?

    Firefox 9.0.1 is the latest release version.
    Which page do you have set as your Homepage or Start Page?
    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. Not being maintained by Google and it shows all versions of Firefox as needing to be updated, even pre-release tester versions that are months away from being released to the public at large.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • I don't want the 'chat' option. how can I disable it? I often get the message that I am being disconnected from chat because i've logged on from another computer. I never use chat, and it just seems to be a problem. How can I get rid of it?

    Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
    Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness.

    Hi Velvalee,
    While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

  • Why Can't I  get the slideshow to work in iWeb?

    I recently created and purchased a photo book successfully. I made a pdf of the book and saved it to iPhoto. I can't get the slideshow to work. Keeps telling me to drag photos somewhere, but they are already posted. If I click I can get to the spot where you can move to the next one—but no slideshow!
    I have watched the slideshow(2x's) that is listed in this topic. I thought I was doing as it said—but no luck.
    Anyone with ideas??

    Patti:
    Read Steps 1-5 of Tutorial #6a at Old Toad's Tutorials for a way to get a book's pages into iPhoto as jpg files which can then be used to create an iWeb slideshow like I've done here.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    "Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
    Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
    "Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
    You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
    You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.

  • Why do i always get the Japanese version of JRE/JDK?

    why do i always get the Japanese version?
    i am in tokyo and i just want to get the English version of JRE and JDK. Why is it so difficult, I have been trying for the last 8 hours to find mirrors and other versions and installing all of them only to see they are all in Japanese and I don't know why. I checked my settings, my local language is German or English, i.e. not Japanese, and always I install it it's in Japanese and afterwards I get the compiler messages in Japanese and I don't understand them.
    And then... why is it so difficult to make a comment at sun? i have been to ibm's page and google, you just fill out a form send it, it takes 5 secs, here it takes 20 minutes to find where you can ask a question, then some more to fill out the questionaire...
    could you pls tell me where to get the US/english version for jre 1.4.2.x and jdk 1.4.2.x?

    You probally ARE getting the english version. If you are using a japanese version of windows or an english version of windows with the locale setting set to Japan then all of the menus (including the installer) will be displayed in japanese. So it just seems like you are installing a japanese version.
    To check your local in windows 2000 go to the control panel and then choose regional options. Then, select the general tab and change your locale to one of the English locales. Also, if you want to keep your locale setting set to Japan there are other workarounds. However, first try this.

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.
