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?

Why is yellow light is flashing on my airport extreme

Why is the yellow light flashing on my airport extreme? I can't get it to work. I want to set up my printer to print wireless.

A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
(ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.

My older iPod is not recognized by iTunes. When plugged in a yellow light flashes. When unplugged and turned on, I see green and yellow lights flashing alternately. Help?

The Jaguar there is nothing you can do, and the new interface from the dealer are not compatible
For the BMW, you have to find out what brand interface was installed in the vehicle
can be dension or original BMW in the x5, if dension you can get something call
Scosche passPORT if BMW brand you can get a new cable from Bmw with the usb and dual power supply,
In the Mini if DIce brand you will need a new cable or new iPod interface, now they have a usb plug to do updates in case iPhone 5 is release in the future or any other updates from iTunes

Rebel T3 not taking pictures, yellow light flashing, please help!

My Rebel T3 won't take pictures. A yellow light flashes on front, but nothing else happens. I've tried replacing the battery, changing the mode, but it still won't take any pictures. It was working just fine yesterday.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I actually did try that. And this is going to sound like I'm totally stupid, but I figured out my problem.
Somehow I must have bumped the timer setting. I've never used the timer before, so I didn't realize it made the yellow light flash. And I wasn't just sitting there waiting to see if it would take a picture.
So anyway.... problem solved. I feel dumb, but putting the solution here just in case anyone else has the same problem! lol

How can I turn off the green light indicator on my AirPort Express?

How can I turn off the green light indicator on my AirPort Express? It really annoys me.

The Zed,
You have two options and you probably won't like any of them.
Using the Airport Utility, click on the AE then "Base Station", then "Options". That will bring up two options for you AE green light, either keep it green at all times or only light up when it is being used.
The second option is put some tape over it.
Hope this helps.

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results.

Airport Express WiFi network MAC address filtering not working

I have an Airport Express WiFi network which I bought and installed new in 2011. Initially I enabled MAC address access control and populated a list. It was working perfectly, I know, because a niece visiting tried to connect her iPhone and could not until I added its MAC address to the allowed list. Now however, anyone can connect without being added to the list. I think I read somewhere that a recent firmware update permanently disabled MAC filtering in Airport Express, even when it was previously working? Can anyone enlighten me about what's going on here?

In a sense those are/were/should operate as two separate functions, which they did before recently.
They do operate as two separate functions.....but it all depends on how you have the default rule setup in Timed Access.
If the default rule in Timed Access is set to No Access.......then a wireless device cannot connect....even it has the password for the network.....unless it has been setup on the list of allowed devices in Timed Access.
I have checked this 3 times this evening to verify. It works as it always has, and as expected.
If the default rule in Timed Access is set to Unlimited, then any device can connect to the network if it has the password. Devices that are listed or specified in Timed Access will be allowed to connect at the specific times that have been set up for each device.
So, if you want to use the more traditional MAC Access Control settings, the default rule has to be set to No Access and then you must set up a rule for each device that you want to allow to connect to the network. Only devices on the Timed Access list will be allowed to connect to the network. Other devices will not be able to connect to the network....even if they have the correct password.
If a recent firmware update has changed things from what they have always been.....then I am not affected....and I should be if I am using the same firmware as others.

MacBook Pro that my Airport Express WiFi profile was created crashed. Can i reset the Airport Express either to an iPad or Windows 7 computer?

MacBook Pro that my Airport Express WiFi profile was created crashed. Can i reset the Airport Express either to an iPad or Windows 7 computer?

Get the Airport Utility for the your iPad from the App store. You will need to know the password for the Airport Express (not the WiFi password) to access the AE. The iPad utility will, I think, do all of the actions to control your AE.
You can reset the AE back to factory default but with the iPad app you should not ned to.

Want stream Netflix to blueray via Airport Express wifi. The blueray finds my wifi but the wireless connection failed - said, Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router. Don't think I have DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

Want to stream Netflix to blueray player via my existing Airport Express wifi. The player finds my wifi but the wireless connection fails - says, " Ensure DHCP server is enabled on router and restart router." I don't think I have a DHCP server. Suggestions anyone?

I can't speak specifically regarding LG, but the Whole Home feature on Direct TV (record a movie on one DVR and watch it on another TV in another location) just won't work with wireless, and I have a strong fast connection at 300 Mbps. Ethernet works perfectly.
Few audio/video products will accept "n" wireless at 5 GHz. I suspect that your LG accepts a 2.4 GHz signal, which would top out at 130 Mpbs.
If you are trying to stream High Definition video, especially at 1080P, my opinion would be that it is unlikely that you will be able to do so reliably using wireless.
Perhaps another user who has figured out how to do this will post with some input.

HT1178 why is my airport time machine yellow light flashing?

My airport time machine yellow light is flashing ,why?

Find out by opening the status on the airport utility summary page when you highlight the TC. There is no way of figuring it out except via the utility. What does it list is the problem.

Appletv v1 yellow light flashing; won't stop. First time startup.

Just pulled model FA711LL/A from the box for the first time. (Bought it years ago as a backup. Now want to use it.) Plugged in the component cables (no HDMI on my monitor) and the power cord. Yellow light's been flashing for half an hour now and there's no sign that it's sending a signal to the monitor.
What's my next move?

Well, I should have tried this before anything else. I unplugged the Time Capsule from the power source and plugged it back in after about two minutes. Green light appeared immediately. Coincidentally (maybe?), as soon as I did that and returned to Airport Utility, I had a message to update the firmware. I did check for an update earlier in the day, but TC appeared to be up to date at that time. Now I've updated the firmware, TC has restarted, and green light is on. Weired.

HP Laserjet 1200 replaced toner & yellow light flashes

Hi! I have a HP Laserjet 1200 which printed with smudges and ghost text a few lines down. In an attempt to correct this, I installed a new toner cartridge. I had difficulty opening the toner door completely; it stuck about half-way opened. I opened the left and right panels to see if I could loosen the old cartridge, and something snapped (probably a plastic clip) when I forced the right panel open. Opening the panels didn't help, and I closed them. Eventually, after applying some pressure, I opened the toner door all of the way and replaced the toner. Now the printer doesn't work. The yellow light just flashes. Replacing the old toner cartridge doesn't help. I still have the same blinking yellow light problem. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I unplugged the electrical plug before (no off switch) but I guess for not long enough. Did it again and left it unplugged for awhile when I went to the store. Just plugged in and the memory has let go like you said. All's well now. Thanks.

I recently moved into a new apartment and I can connect with the internet by direct connection to the cable/internet modem. But when I connect my Airport Express, it just blinks with a yellow light and I cannot connect via WiFi. Any suggestions?
