Intel Mac :: Plays Series Of Beeps Around Midnight - No Alarms Set
Apr 30, 2012
I recently bought a used 2009 iMac. I erased the disc and started fresh.If I do not shut the computer down every night, right around midnight, the computer plays 5 or 6 beeps (kind of a little song of beeps). It's always the same sound.I've poked around System Preferences and do not see any alarms set in there. I have also made sure that iCal does not have any alarms set up to play at midnight.
A little more info about the iMac. It pretty much has nothing on it. I added Microsoft Office and that is it. I bought it so I can move some of my music over and get myself under 25,000 songs on my main computer (so I can use iTunes Match). Other than Microsoft Office I have not added any other programs onto the computer.
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

My Early 2009 MacPro4,1 is emitting regular repeating tones from the speaker at about 1202 am every night. I have no alarms set. I can't stop these tones unless I shut down. The computer is set to not sleep.

My iMac sometimes will just randomly start playing music. This just recently started and I haven't made any hardware/software changes at all, last thing I did was update it for printer drivers and that was it. It usually plays at night when I'm sleeping and it starts with the song that's on the top of the list. I've restarted it and everything and can't figure it out. I always leave iTunes running because I have my iPad and iPhones set up for wireless syncing. So I usually just keep the sound off to prevent any random music playing. Oh and there is no remotes connected to it either....

How do I continue to use my HP Photosmart C3100 series All-in-One for scanning with the loss of Power PC support? The scanner interface has been deactivated. I do not want to add a perfectly good printer to the landfill because of Apple's short sited approach.

I have just bit the bullet and migrated from my slow and clunky PC to a beautiful iMac
But I do have one question that is probably very simple. Previously with Windows I was able to play a series of TV shows in a row continously by selecting the files from the hard drive and selecting play in windows player - this way I could watch from my bed without having to get up at the end of every show to select the next
With Mac is there a way I can do this? As I have tried initially but it just opens all the files in different windows, rather than playing them in the order.

For the past 3 nights, at exactly midnight, my iBook G4 running OS10.5.6 has crashed (screen goes grey, tells me to restart).
I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to reinstall the OS, unless anyone has any brilliant and wonderful ideas that I could try before going to all this effort?

I'd like to view online content on my Samsung 7000 series LED. I don't mean streaming saved content, rather using my TV like a wireless monitor. My iMac is connected wirelessly, and the TV is wired to my router. Is it just a matter of getting something like a D-Link Boxee Box or Slingbox?

I just had my iMac hard drive replaced due to some corruption found on it. I had it into the genius bar because of this same issue - beeping three beeps and then locking up requiring a manual shut down. Just got it back this week. Happened again after about 6 days.Running presentation software my system was purchased optimally to run.

i tried turning on my iMac an hour ago and it whirred up with a black screen while beeping continuously, each beep an equal distance apart. I tried counting the beeps a few times and they don't seem to stop (I counted up to about 30 before i decided to stop, they kept going!)
I've read a few forum posts, and other things related on the internet, but no-one has a problem with continuous beeping. I don't know how to open up my mac book and replace RAM, or anything of the sorts.

Is there any way to set Spotlight indexing to only work at midnight or some other time? The amount of indexing that goes on constantly is slowing down my work time and finder access during the day.

[uRL] Only 40GB and 80GB though but it's great to see that m-SATA is being adopted by such big company. Maybe m-SATA is the future? No need to waste space with casings and stuff when a stick like that does the job too. Those should fit in MBA but there is no place for the screws.

I turned my iMac on (2008 model) but after 10 minutes it went black and beeped 3 times loudly, repeating at 5 second cycles. Shut it down by pressing the ON button for 5 sec. Restarted and all worked for a hour before repeating the same problem...screen and keyboard and touchpad all locked out....shut down with the ON button. On restart it gave me the 3 beeps every 5 sec with an ALL BLACK screen...no hard disk whirring, either. I don't know how to do cardiac massage on an iMac. Is it dead? Is it the processor? Is it the video card? Is it the hard disc?

I have a Treo 650, and I use Missing Sync to sync to my Mac.
I don't need iCal to alarm me, my Treo does that perfectly fine.
So is it possible to disable iCal's alarm feature?

I use MobileMe colander sync'ed between my iPhone, iPad and Mac (Early 2010 27 inch, running OSX 10.6 with latest patches) (at home).
I have a lot of my meetings set to give me reminders prior most days so I don't forget.
Recently (in the last month) if a reminder gets pushed to iCal on my Mac while it is asleep, it won't wake up from sleep (screen stays asleep, though the HD comes to life, at it beeps as if it is wanting for me to dismiss the reminder pop-up).

I have Leopard 10.5.1 installed on my MacBook. I have assigned all but a few of my apps to various spaces.
In particular, I have an "Organization" space which has Mail, iCal, Address Book, and a couple of other organization related apps assigned to it. When I open iCal, it opens in the appropriate space. However, I would like my iCal alarms to open in every space (simultaneously displayed in all spaces). But I don't want to assign iCal to every space. Is there a particular helper app that is responsible for launching iCal alarms that I could assign to every space? Is there any other way of setting this up?

I just installed my brand new RocketRAID 2314 in my Mac Pro (SL 10.6.2).
Everything seems to be fine except for two things:
1. There are no eject-signs next to the eternal drives' icons in Finder windows. I can, however, eject them by highlighting them and hitting cmd-e.
2. And that's the actual problem: When I switch off the external enclosure after ejecting the drives properly, the card's beeping alarm goes off.
Isn't the RR2314 even supposed to be hot-swappable? Then it should by all means let me switch off the enclosure without starting to whine, shouldn't it?
Or is it a firmware issue? I already tried to flash the card with the latest firmware using HighPoint's linux-flasher and a Knoppix CD, but the flasher couldn't find the card (which _is_ properly installed).

I have shared a calendar with several people, but they are not receiving my alarms/alerts.
I add an alarm at say 30 min prior to the event, but when the even is added to their iCloud calendar, no alarm/alert added so the only notification they receive is the email they get when I create or modify the event.
Is there any way of enforcing the alarm to be shared, or configuing the other users settings to always have an alert. At the moment they all have no alarm at all.
I have tried ticking/unticking the 'ignore alerts' on the shared calendar on their Macs, but to no avail..

I have a .mov file of a 16:9 programme that was in 4:3 full height anamorphic 720 x 576, so i opened it in QT7 pro and changed the frame size to 1024 x 576 so it plays in 16:9. All works well in QT7Pro but if movie is played in QTplayer 10 it plays back in 720 x 576 again. How can i make the movie retain the correct aspect ratio for any QT player?

They are outright lying on their website. They tell us that their SSD requires less power than regular HDDs and this is completely not true. After putting their 512 GB model into my MBP, I lost ~10-15% battery power.
Kingston has been unhelpful and just tells me that "the SSD consumes less power than a regular harddisk and this has been confirmed by our technicians". Hell I had even a 7.2k drive in my MBP before which consumes MORE than a regular HDD and here I am losing 10-15% of battery life to their SSD. They are just lying through their teeth and they should not be trusted. It really really sucks. I've been at 10 emails so far but only robots reply as it seems. I just hope they would pull a firmware update out of their sleeves but I think it's very unlikely.
