Mac Pro :: Front Fan Sounds Like It's Grinding / Any Way To Oil It?

Oct 30, 2009

One of the front fans on my early '08 Mac Pro sounds like it's grinding. When I first boot up the fans are whisper quiet as they should be, but give it a few minutes and there is a distinct grinding sound and I've narrowed it to the top fan on the front of the case. When the system is turned of, the fan whines to a stop. Is there any way to lubricate the fan to solve this? The access doesn't seem very easy, and I'd rather not have to mess with the case assembly. Or do I have to pay some kid at the apple store a hundred or so to do it?

IMac :: Grinding Sounds Heard From Speaker Area

Jun 24, 2010

I was in iTunes when I heard a slight grinding sound form the speaker area and I thought nothing of it. About 5 minutes later I was watching a youtube video and the grinding got louder to the point where I could no longer hear the video. I immediately powered the iMac down and upon reboot process, the grinding sound could be heard again. After the booting process, the sound is gone. I am wondering what it was and if I should waste my time taking it in to an Apple Repair Shop

Front Row :: Make Front Row Work On Lion?

Feb 10, 2012

I upgraded to Lion and sadly, Front Row is not supported.  I somehow found the Front Row app in my systems folder and moved it to my Applications folder.  Front Row now shows up in my applications folder, as well as Launchpad.  However, when I go into Front Row, it does not recognize any of my media from iTunes.  I tried out this website: [URL]..blog/frontrowenablerforlion to no avail.  I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to make Front Row work in OS X Lion. 

Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Front Row in Lion

OS X :: System Stopped Making System Sounds / Sounds From Applications Are Fine

Dec 21, 2008

I noticed that my system stopped making system (i.e. Mac OS X) sounds for some reason. Sounds from applications are fine. I checked and unchecked the "play user interface sound effects" check box in the preference panes to no effect.

OS X :: System Sounds Via Remote Speakers / Run System Sounds Through Airport Express

Jan 22, 2010

I punch my iTunes music through an Airport Express to a remote set of speakers in the kitchen, which works wonderfully, but I'd like to know if there's a way to run the system sounds through the AE as well. In particular, I listen to Pandora (through a browser) on my laptop, but would love to listen in the kitchen. Any way to do this? System 10.4 I believe...

Applications :: New Front End For Front Row In Lion

Oct 23, 2010

Any news of Front Row in Lion? Apple is selling the mac mini without any new interface? Apple really needs to offer us something over front row which I don't think has been updated since 2007. So Apple how about it?

OS X :: Loud Whirring / Grinding Sound Coming

Jun 18, 2009

I just bought a new 24 inch 2.66 GHz iMac off of MacMall last week (6 days ago) and it has been working fine up until a day and a half ago. You see, I put the iMac to sleep for a while, and when I woke it up there was a moderately loud (but in no way ear bashing) grinding/whirring sound coming from the left area of the machine under the screen. I now noticed that the longer I have the machine on for, the louder and more annoying it gets. Does anyone know what is there (HDD, fan or what)? Also, is this something I have to worry about or is this an issue all iMac users face? I am new to OS 10.5 and modern Macs. I am really starting to get worried about this, as the machine is almost brand new.

Laptops :: MacBook Pro Grinding/buzzing Noise - How To Avoid It

Oct 5, 2009

Let me preface this by saying I am probably taking this to the Apple Store about an hour away from where I live tomorrow. For A while my MacBook Pro 13" has been making a loud spinning/grinding noise on occasion. Normally, I'd just shut down, boot up, and it would be fixed. Well, yesterday, that didn't work. After being told by the support guy that my free phone support expired 14 days ago (Mac bought in June), he said he'd do what he could to help. I told him about the noise and held the phone up to it (it is coming from the right of the trackpad). He said he had never heard that before and said to take it in to the Apple Store. I've found an Apple Support article, but it doesn't shed a lot of light on the situation.

OS X :: External HD Not Recognisable / Makes Grinding And Squeaking Sound

Feb 28, 2010

I have an external HD (old MacBook HD in enclosure), and I was using it on a PC earlier. The PC came up with a message in the bottom right saying something about a power surge to the HD, and that it couldn't be recognised. Since then, every time I plug the HD into a PC, it grinds and squeaks, and isn't recognised at all, yet when I plug it into my MacBook, everything works fine. What does this mean? Is my enclosure faulty? Or has it now got a Windows allergy?

MacBook Pro :: 'Crunching / Grinding' Noise Is It Fan / Hard Drive?

May 23, 2012

I posted a YouTube video so you could hear the noise my MacBook Pro 15 inch laptop is making. Here is the link as well as the copy/pasted description I used on YouTube (too lazy to re-write) url...Two weeks ago my MacBook Pro started getting really hot on the back left hand side of the keyboard area -- to the point that I couldn't have it resting on my legs.It is now making a crunching noise from the same area. Sometimes it doesn't crouch and other times it's so loud it sounds like an expiring bomb. It doesn't have to do with how many programs I'm using. I just watched a full movie and it was silent on the crunch noise ... Other times nothing is running and it's just sitting there crunching away. Not sure if this is a fan or hard drive issue -- I've YouTubed other videos but my noise seems to be completely different from everything I've found.Heading into Apple tomorrow but I'm worried it'll stop making the noise when I go in, like the car whose breaks squeak until you take it to the mechanic type of thing.

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

MacBook Pro :: 13" Superdrive Grinding - Noises From Loading Mechanism?

Jun 30, 2009

I've come to use the CD drive on my 13" MBP for the first time today and I'm slightly concerned at the grinding/crunching noise I get when inserting and ejecting disks. I have an iMac and that is nice and smooth with no odd noises, my MBP just doesn't sound right at all. Once the disk is in and loaded it operates fine and is nice and quiet, is this normal noises coming from the loading mechanism?

Software :: Fan Starts Making Grinding Sound / System Heating Up

Jun 25, 2008

I just had a question about my fan, whenever I'm on my computer for about 30 minutes plus, my fan starts making a kind of grinding sound, and my computer exceeds 200�F. I do play World of Warcraft, and I know this most likely causes the heating issue, but it only started about 2 months ago. And i bought my Mac mid-2009 and have had no problems until now.

Hardware :: Hard Drive Making Grinding Noise / Unable To Recover Data

Sep 24, 2009

I have a student who put most of her project work for the past few semesters on an Western Digital hard drive which was in a I/O Magic shell. It was dropped and immediately started a grinding noise. She took it to the local mac guru who has been unable to recover any of the data. My gut tells me it's a goner but I wanted to run it by the gurus here to see if they might recommend anything that we might try before giving up.
