MacBook Pro :: It Makes Random Beeps?

Mar 19, 2012

I bought a new MacBook Pro a few days ago, and it randomly makes this beeping sound. It's not like a problem noise and it comes from speakers. A bit something like a Skype sound, but it's not Skype...

MacBook Pro :: 500GB 7200rpm Drive Makes Random Beeps?

Jul 13, 2009

I've recently read numerous articles on Seagate's 500gb 7200rpm making random beeping noises. Just wondering if anyone had this problems and if it has been fixed yet. And if it hasn't been fixed, should i be safe and go for a 500gb 5400rpm drive.

MacBook :: Not Booting Up Instead 3 Beeps?

May 2, 2009

My Black Macbook will not boot up. Instead it rests at the gray screen and does 3 beeps. I have done research and it is supposed to indicate a RAM problem but my RAM [i believe] is fine, I even rechecked the slots and everything. This has happened before but I just rebooted and it worked fine but now it is not. I tried plugging in my Mac into different power outlets and even having it run without being plugged in but it fails to make a difference. I have scheduled a genius appointment and I know my macbook is older than a year so i'm wondering a few things: how can I get them to replace my Macbook, how can i get them to fix the problem [for free] even if my warranty has run out, if they don't replace it [which i heard they should do] what is my best option [buying a new one is outta the question for financial reasons]

MacBook Pro :: Beeps Instead Of Starting Up?

Feb 29, 2012

When i try to start my macbook pro 13" (early 2011) I get a black screen and it beeps three times.  Based on internet research it appears to be a RAM problem. The closest store is 2 hours away and I don't want to send it away.

MacBook Pro :: I7 - 3 Beeps On Startup?

Mar 12, 2012

My Macbook Pro battery had run down (it does quite a bit) so I rebooted with the power inserted.

I get a frozen screen saver which is normal, while the progress bar finds it feet back on power.

However this time, I had the frozen screen saver, and a continuous 3 beeps which I've never had before in a loop? I then re-pressed the power switch on the Macbook and it rebooted fine and seems ok.

This i7 is coming up to its first year (which I think is covered by Apple?) and I *think* this maybe a memory issue? If it is, and my Mac is covered, then by a sheer stroke of luck, I decided to get Apple to fit the 8GB memory at the time of purchase (bad I know! and I don't usually do that) BUT that would mean that Apple fitted the memory upgrade and I haven't touched anything myself.

I then booted up this morning with a full battery and the boot up took a lot longer than normal - maybe around 3 minutes on the spinning logo, and then finally booted - are these all worrying signs?

Macbook Pro 3 Beeps On Startup

May 6, 2012

I am coming from a PC world and I am starting to get frustrated with this problem. I have had my Macbook Pro 15in for about a year. It is an early 2011. For the past two months I have been having the 3 beeps on start up. I have been to the genius bar about 6 times already. They have replaced my RAM twice, replaced my logic board and finally replaced my hard drive. It is STILL doing it. I don't know what else I should do. Please any more suggestions the next time I go to the genius bar?

MacBook :: Beeps 3 Times But Does Not Turn On

Jul 15, 2008

So I was on my MacBook and all of a sudden the screen gets some weird lines on it and then freezes. I turn it off and turn it back on and I get a black screen and 3 short beeps and it keeps going.

MacBook Pro :: Three Beeps On Startup Even After RAM Replaced?

Feb 27, 2012

I'm working on a Macbook pro 15 A1278 for a friend. They were given the computer by someone who didn't want it.  My friend did not have the password to get into the machine and no original system disc. I thought this was going to be an easy case of erase-and-install. So I attempted to boot from my own Snow Leopard DVD, then I started getting three beep errors. Now I can't get as far as the password screen any more. Computer starts with normal chimes, then when it gets to the grey screen with the Apple, I get the "three beeps". Bought new ram, put it in, reseated it a bunch of times, still three beeps every time.Attempting to restart using the system DVD by holding the C key, same problem. DVD spins up but then three beeps. Fired the machine up as a target disk and ran disk utility via remote control from another machine, we''ll call that one "machine B". Hard drive checks out with no errors and is formatted in Extended Journaled. Did a clean system install from machine B (while still in target disk mode). System install was a success and was able to restart machine B successfully from the hard drive of the faulty machine.

MacBook Air :: 3 Beeps Continuously On Restart?

Mar 9, 2012

This morning, when I got into work I restarted my Late-2010 MacBook Air (128 GB HD, 1.86 GHZ Core-2 Duo, OS X 10.7.3) while holding down the "option" button as I normally do to access bootcamp and load Windows 7 because I need to use Excel Macros during the work day.  What was unusual, however, was that it immediately started beeping loudly when I held down the option button and continued to do so without ceasing. It beeped 3 times, stopped, beeped 3 times, stopped etc.  

The fans started running pretty quickly and I held down the power button and it finally shut down. I restarted and held down the "option" key again, booted into Windows 7 fine, and have since rebooted into OS X as well without issue. It's the first time that I've heard this beeping except when I installed a firmware update a few weeks back. I've done a bit of research and it sounds like it's indicative of a RAM issue but want to see if anyone knows for sure. I think it's strange that it did it once but hasn't again despite numerous restarts and also strange that it happened immediately upon hitting the "option" key when the screen went dark, as I always do.

My new to me macbook (2010 MBP with 2.53 i5 running lion) runs great other than if I let it go to sleep for more than 5 mins it will give me the 3 repeating beeps until I hold down the power button and force a shut down.  It never does this when turning it on from shutting it down, just waking up.  I also checked the ram and made sure it was seated correctly.

MacBook Pro :: Freezes On Start Up And Beeps

Jun 2, 2012

I have a brand new Macbook Pro (Christmas 2011), and today it was installing updates. It stated that it needed to restart to complete the updates, so I confirmed it. It shut down fine, but then didn't start up again on it's own. I waited for about an hour before manually starting the computer by pressing the power button. It did the opening chime and then the logo screen came up, but then it started a series of beeps along with blinking battery light (it is fully charged). It froze on the logo screen and continued to beep for a half an hour before I forced it to shut down (control+command+power button).

I tried restarting it in safe mode (holding the shift button down during startup), but it only resulted in the computer freezing on the logo screen for about five minutes before shutting itself off (no beeping or light that time, though). I went through my instruction manual as well as online searches to see if maybe I could somehow restore the computer to factory settings. I can get it to get into the Disk Utility section (holding down the option button during startup), but I'm absolutely terrified of erasing something I shouldn't.

MacBook Pro :: Beeps When Turning Volume Up - Down / Solve This?

Sep 29, 2010

I have used a Macbook Pro from 2007 and have now recently bought the all new 17 inch Macbook Pro.

Something that really annoys me (and my ears) in the new MBP is the crystal clear sound of the Macbook pro speakers when i hit the Volume up or down key on my keyboard. The sound is just too treble and so loud and it gets even worse when i put headphones on and turn down the volume its even more deafening.

Anyone think the same?

Is there a way to solve this problem?

MacBook Air :: Headphone - Loud Hiss - Odd Beeps

Feb 23, 2008

Is anyone else having problems using their headphones with the Macbook Air? My Shure E500 headphones have a loud hiss and instead of playing music properly, the music is filled with odd bleeps and bloops. I have a similar problem with my Etymotic headhones. I *think* the standard iPod headphones worked fine, but I no longer have them on hand to test.

MacBook Pro :: Display Locks Followed By Three Long Beeps

Apr 16, 2012

My new MacBook Pro has started to randomly totally lock up. The display will fill up with horizontal flashing lines, the keyboard freezes and then it will start beeping 3 long beeps continuously. the only way to stop this is to hold down the power button untill it shuts down. Restarting it can take quite a while because it just comes up with a black screen and continues to beep 3 times. Eventually it will start normally and work for a while till this all repeats itself again. It does this randomly, sometimes it will work correctly for days, sometimes 5 minutes. This is my first Mac and I`m not sure if I made the right move now.....

MacBook Pro :: Three Beeps But Also Error Codes - OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Jun 5, 2014

I have a Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro, core i7 processor, 1.5TB HD, and 8GB of Ram 

In November it started having problems with a gray screen with folder and question mark. I defragged and re-optimized the volumes of the hard drive and everything was fine. I have tried reinstalling both ram chips twice. It worked fine for a few weeks and then I started getting beeps and error codes. I can startup fine but after using for a minute or two the screen freezes and three beeps start. Othertimes a panic code will come up too. 

I've attached the panic codes in images.

Error Code – panic cpu 2 caller 0xffffff000b2dca29  

***Are the Ram chips bad? Or is there an issue with the Logic Board
