Software :: Won't Watch Dvds On OS 10. / Making Noise

Dec 4, 2008

I am having troubles trying to watch DVDs on my iMac. I have Mac OS 10.1 (yes, I know, very outdated; the system is old, and the screen is going, so I don't want to waste money getting a new OS when I could just get a new Mac with it pre-installed.) Whenever I put a DVD into the internal drive, I can hear it trying to load the disc. Mind you, it's making much more noise than if I were to put a CD into that drive. Also, I do have an external drive (Que! Fire brand.) When I put the DVD into that drive, it also sits and loads. I used to be able to watch DVDs thru the internal drive, before my dad wiped the hard drive clean.

MacBook Pro :: System Making Mechanical Noise / Noise Before Start Up Sound

Dec 26, 2010

My first generation unibody Macbook hasn't had any problems to this date but now it's constantly making that mechanical loading-like noise which is usually heard when the Macbook is switched on (the noise before the start up sound) or when the lid is opened to wake up the computer. Is there a fix to this?

PowerPC :: Watch Dvds On IBook G4?

Aug 15, 2006

I am about to get a Sherwood home theater receiver (RD-8601) and I want to watch dvds on my iBook g4, with surround sound coming through the receiver.

If I connect my 1/8 inch stereo jack to the inputs (RCA) on the receiver, can the receiver turn it into 5.1? OR Do I need something like the FireWave that will send 5.1 to the receiver? I did search for and read similar posts, but did not find my answer.

Mac Pro :: Why Making A Clicking Noise

Jul 8, 2010

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro. For the past 6 months or so, it has been making a whirring, clicking, chirping noise. It does this constantly, no matter what I'm doing. I replaced the hard drive, but that didn't help. The sound appears to be coming from the rear of the computer, near the top. (where the power cord plugs in).

PowerPC :: G4 Making Mosquito Like Noise

Apr 10, 2009

Yesterday my PB from 2004 started to make a noise like an angry mosquito. Is it the hard drive dying on me? This is just a take-along-when-I-need-to-be-mobile computer, there's nothing there that needs to be backed up. But I wonder what the noise means.

MacBook :: Fan Making Buzzing Noise

Jul 22, 2009

I was just downstairs in my basement using my macbook and I decided to come upstairs and when I got up here I noticed that my fan is making a weird buzzing noise. I can tell it is my fan because when I make the fans spin faster in smcfancontrol the noise gets louder. Could this be something that is in the fan or could this be a more serious problem? I can take the back case off and check but I just wanted to know if this could be a serious problem with the fan. Is there any chance I could have bent something by carrying it wrong?

IMac PPC :: Making Noise And Blacking Out

Apr 11, 2012

My iMac 20" G5 (PPC, working with Tiger 10.4.11), bought in April 2006, has the following illness: 

When I work locally, it functions fine. When I go into Internet, it starts purring and whining. 

When I watch a video on YouTube, for example, the purring and whining increases and finally the screen blacks out. With a mouse click, the screen comes back but goes out again immediately. 

After shutting down the system and giving it some rest, everything starts working again normally, but only until I go online. 

I have tried to use Disk Utility, but the install disk that came with my Mac gets ejected.

MacBook Air :: Fan Making Constant Buzzing Noise

Mar 16, 2008

I have had my MBA for almost a week, and I've had no issues so far. Until now. This is the case: The fan operates as it should. It stays on 2500 rpm at light use, and increases with heavier use. At 2500 rpm I was not able to hear it without putting my ear next to the keyboard. That was yesterday. Today the fan produces a new noise. It isn't very loud, but clearly audible at 2500 rpm in a quiet environment. It's a low, constant, buzzing kind of noise. It also increases with fan speed.

MacBook :: HDD Making A Weird Hiccup Noise?

Feb 4, 2009

Maybe, I did not notice this earlier, but I notice that hard drive is pretty quite but every 10-15 secs, it almost has this faint click noise. Is anyone else experiencing that? Its not that loud, but loud enough to hear if you are in a quiet room or library.

Seems like a click noise every 10-15 secs even when hard drive is idle

IMac :: Making Strange Noise At Boot Up

Aug 9, 2009

My (new) iMac makes a strange noise when I boot. It looks like the hard disk to me. As long as it makes the noise, it doesn't boot. After the noise is gone (sometimes in a minute, sometimes five). I have attached a file recorded with my iPhone to illustrate what I mean. Is this normal or should I get back to Apple?

MacBook Pro :: Fan Making Faint Clicking Noise

Jul 4, 2010

I have a 13" MacBook Pro from Mid-2009 and just today I've noticed a real faint clicking noise coming from the fan. It almost sounds like that noise a bike makes when you put a baseball card against its wheel. It's not very loud, but when I'm working in a silent room, it's been pretty annoying. I opened the back and blew all the dust out and all that, but the problem seems to only have got worse since then. The fan is still spinning at its usual 2000rpm.

MacBook Pro :: Making Humming/buzzing Noise?

Apr 4, 2012

Yesterday I started up my MacBook Pro that I've only had for about 9 months. I immediately noticed that there was a barely audible buzzing / humming sound coming the inside of the laptop, most likely in the fans. I don't know how long this has been going on, and I really don't know the cause of it. So is this something I should be worried about (the sound is barely audible)? Or is this something that happens after prolonged use of the laptop?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Intel Mac :: DVD Drive Making Noise And Hanging

May 24, 2012

My iMac (27'', mid 2010, Core i7, OSX 10.7.4) recently makes some trouble with its DVD drive: The drive often makes horrible noises like a shredder. In this context the disc sometimes doesn't eject. Only Rebooting works. More and more frequently the drive hangs, the connected application (e.g. iTunes, Auditri or Handbrake) hangs and also Disk Utility. Rebooting doesn't work (white freezing screen), only shutdown and complete startup with clicked Trackpad to remove disc. Is it a hardware or software error? The iMac is still qualified for AppleCare. Should I make a repair request to Apple?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
