Drive sound when waking from sleep?

Hi, I am getting a short 2-3 second drive sound when I wake my MBP from sleep. It sounds like it is checking to see if there is a disc in the drive or something. Also might be described as the sound when your first put a disc into the drive(but maybe shorter). Is this normal? And also if it is normal is there a way to stop it from making the noise because I actually find it annoying me, I wake my computer from sleep a lot throughout the day. My friends MBP who bought his just a few months before mine does not make a sound when waking from sleep. Thanks.

They all do. All of them. Yours. Mine. Your friend's. Old PowerBooks. Brand new MBPs. Everything in between.
My friends MBP who bought his just a few months before mine does not make a sound when waking from sleep.
Maybe his optical drive is broken?
Or, more likely, it's not waking up from sleep at all - Energy Saver settings can be used to set the display to sleep before the MBP sleeps - a key press will "wake" the display, but the MBP itself was not asleep, thus no noise from the drive when it the display is reactivated.

  • Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

    Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue.  The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

    Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK.  I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
    I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

  • Unusual sound when waking from sleep

    To start off I have a black MacBook that I bought around March of 2006. Never had this problem before so I am a little concerned.
    Okay to the issue, I woke my Mac up around 1:40pm today but instead of the usual wake up noise I got something else. It's the regular noise only it sounds a bit slower and lasts a second or two longer then it normally does. I wait a bit then I put my Mac back to sleep. After waiting 2 or 3 minutes I woke my mac back up with the same results. It wakes up fine, but it emits that unusual sound when waking up. I don't know if this is related or not but before waking the first time I did notice that my Mac was a little warn where the powercord attaches even though it had been off since about 3pm the day before and was located in a relatively cool room.
    I also noticed when I put my ear up to my Mac that there is a weird buzzing sort of sound. It is continuous, but can only be heard if I put my ear up to the keyboard.
    I'm wondering if something went bad on my Mac, since I have had it for about 3 years now with no prior issues other then heat issues.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    The usual wake up noise you refer to is the optical drive spinning so as to check to see if there is a disc inserted in it.
    Your Macbook should not be at all warm anywhere if it had been off for a few hours as you said. It should be room temperature if it was indeed shut down. Are you certain it was shut down?
    I don't have any solutions to your problem, but just stating a couple points.
    If it continues to do this try booting up into another User Account. Create a new account for this purpose. If it works good in a new, clean user account then the problem is in your main account. If the problem still persists in the new account try an Archive and Install with the install DVDs. If this does not cure it then the problem may well be hardware, but not for certain. But, this is the non-destructive, non-evasive way to go to start with solving the problem.

  • Noisy CDRW when waking from sleep

    I see there is a firmware update if I have a superdrive to make the drive quiet when waking from sleep.

    Thanks,

    Getting this same error since switching from Firewire to USB. I have a Maxtor drive in an Adaptec enclosure. It has it's own power supply and both USB and Firewire 400 connections. Just upgraded to a new Mini from old Powerbook, so no more Firewire 400!
    The big difference between USB and FW:
    With the old PB G4 and Firewire, when I put it to sleep, I could hear the external drive actually spin down. On wake up, It would spin up and mount properly. Now with the Mini and USB, when I sleep the Mini, the external drive NEVER SPINS DOWN. I did some research and found that many drives have built-in power management that basically powers them down after some idle time. So the Mini is going to sleep with mounted drives, at some point later the drive sleeps itself, then when the Mini wakes, the drive's not there.
    Obviously, Firewire is doing a better job of talking to my external than USB. I'm ordering a FW400-to-800 cable and will test this. I also think it has something to do with the chipset/firmware in the external enclosure, as many people are reporting their external USBs behave properly during sleep.

  • Missing sound + missing USB power (sometimes) from Thunderbolt Display when waking from sleep

    Hi
    Two problems - one of which is driving med crazy!!
    Have the latest updates, and the display is connected to a MBA (mid 2011).
    The two are almost alwayes connected, and every time I wake the MBA from sleep, the Thunderbold Display does not "support usb sound" - the sound options are only MBA and headphones. Only a restart will give me the option to use Thunderbolt as sound output: WHAT TO DO!?!?!!
    Sometimes when waking from sleep the USB in the Display seems to be "off" - the will not charge my devices (iPhone, iPad etc.). Only reboot seems to fix this... I have seen this in other discussions but not found a permanent solution - any thoughts?

    Same here but reinstalling OSX is a bit drastic. I solved the problem by deleting a preference.
    Go to Macintosh HD then System then Library then Preference panes then Sound.prefPane
    Delete Sound.prefPane (you need to type your password).
    Logout or restart.
    This has happend twice this week so WHY is this suddenly occurring?
    Hi,
    I found this solution in the forum, but I can't find it again. I had cut and pasted it into a text file, because it solved my problem. I just don't want to take any credit for it. It did work for me. I had no problems for 3-4 weeks with the monitor, I have had the sound problem since last Friday. Very frustrating.

  • External Hard Drive Fail After Waking from Sleep

    Hi,
    I've been having this issue for over a year (since upgrading to Lion, and now still persists after upgrading to Mountain Lion), and I haven't been able to find the exact answer I need after searching through the posts here, and on the internet.
    I have a 2011 MBP, and after upgrading to Lion last year, I've noticed that my WD external hard drive for the Mac has issues to be recognized after the laptop wakes from sleep. The drive icons are still there on the desktop, and all the files are listed. However, I cannot open any of the files, and Time Machine backup automatically fails.I am able to eject the drives by dragging the icons into the trash can. However, nothing happens if I simply unplug the fire wire 800 cable and re-plug it into the computer after ejecting the drives. I need to reset the external drive by unplugging both the fire wire cable and the power supply, and replug everything.
    Aside from being a hampering process after waking from sleep, this is also very stressful on the drive itself, so I would like to fix this. Does anyone know the issue behind this or have a solution? Thanks in advance!

  • Keychain is read-only when waking from sleep

    So, when waking from sleep my keychain becomes read-only and I'm forced to restart since many of the applications I tend to use (itunes, safari, skype. messages and disk utility) start giving me error messages or are unresponsive. I've tried repairing the keychain, deleting and creating a new keychain, reinstalling the OS (10.8), resetting the ACLs using the recovery partition, repairing permissions using the recovery partition. The only thing I haven't tried is wiping out the drive and installing the OS anew which I would like to avoid . I am on a 2010 13" macbook pro using 10.8.3. I don't think it started after an update. I did recently install a new hard drive since the previous hard drive died. I used time machine to restore my apps and user account. Advice anyone? Thanks

    Hello-
    Well I spoke to soon. The problem started a few weeks later. Since then I have installed the OS on to a new hard drive. I did import my user account from a time machine backup but did not import the Apps and System settings. I created a new account and moved my media and documents from my old account to the new account. I then deleted the old account. After all that I am still getting the read-only problem with Keychain. It now happens while I am using my laptop, not just when it wakes from sleep. As I mentioned before the issue is intermittent, about once or twice a week. The last occurrence happened a few minutes after I booted up. I have pasted the log below. I have taken it in to Apple and they ran a check-up and everything came back ok. I'm concerned because my apple care ends in about a week. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Kernel Panics when waking from sleep? 2012 MBA Base Model

    I've been having some trouble with my 2012 MacBook Air. It was running perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. Now, when waking from sleep, I am getting Kernel Panics that force the restart of my Mac. I was wondering if anyone could provide insight on the issue.
    An example log file is below:

    The problem stemmed from something related to USB. I suggest uninstalling the third-party software responsible for installing these items:
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp          4.2.6
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt          4.2.6
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB          4.2.6
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv          4.2.6
    com.silex.driver.sxuptp          1.10.1
    com.globaldelight.driver.BoomDevice          1.1
    Alternatively you can boot into Safe Mode which will not load those device drivers, and see if you panics cease. If they do, then you can uninstall the software. BTW, the current version of Virtual Box is VirtualBox-4.2.12-84980-OSX.

  • Workaround for the problem of ultrabay HDD ejecting when waking from sleep

    After trying every possible "solutions" with no luck for the problem of the second hard drive always ejecting/disconnecting when waking from sleep in my T530, I've decided to create my own workaround.
    This is by no means a definitive solution but a nice workaround that uses little resources on the machine.
    The idea is to simply let a program runs constantly from the second hard drive. That way, when the HDD tries to disconnect, Windows is not allowing it and then it stays allways connected.
    To make it more thansparent I decided to create a Windows service that starts when Windows boot and stops when Windows shutdown.
    This Windows service is very lightweight : it does absolutely nothing and just waits indefinitively.
    The trick is that it just have to be started from the second hard drive.
    Here is a link to the Windows service, 32-bit and 64-bit, with the source code and scripts to install/uninstall.
    Just install it anywhere on the second hard drive (D: in my case).
    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxusNBl7tTO-Y3J5VDB3d2lQRzg/edit?usp=sharing
    Works perfectly for me on my T530 with Windows 7 Pro x64.

    Hmm, I have no problem with Ultrabay ejecting HDD when waking from sleep mode. At first, I went down the same
    route as you did. For the first few days when I received my T530 I kept an .iso file from Ultrabay HDD always mounted.
    But then I disabled all power saving options within Windows and Lenovo Power Manager and it seems to work fine.
    Works both with Windows 8 (64-bit) and Windows XP Professional (32-bit).
    T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro

  • Kernel Panic when waking from sleep mode., Kernel Panic when waking from sleep mode.

    Hi,
    I have an Imac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo desktop which I have upgraded to lion.
    Recently I keep getting kernel panics when waking from sleep mode and I cannot figure out what it is.
    I am not very computer savy - I.e. I use a computer but don't know programming etc.
    The computer then asks me to shut down and restart.
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is driving me crazy.

    Hi, for other peoples information - I finally figured out the problem. It was actually a faulty RAM module which I had bought. I had upgraded from 2 to 4 gb of RAM using an approved type of RAM for my particular computer. Finally I removed one module of RAM (after doing nearly everything else under the sun including trying to reinstall the operating system and wipe the computer etc) and the computer worked fine.

  • Spinning ball when waking from sleep

    I'm running Leopard (10.5.7) on a PPC and over the last 2 days it's been freezing when waking from sleep.
    On waking cursor moves, and Spaces works but as I click on each open application they lock up. iStat also freezes.
    The panic log has a reference to com.apple.iokit.IOATAFamily - does this point to hard drive issue??

    In an attempt to fix the problem I booted from the Leopard Install Disc.
    The machine has 1 HD installed that's partitioned in 2 - OS on one volume, data on the other.
    In Disk Utility the boot volume's name is disk0s10 rather that the name I gave it (the other volume name is OK). Could this have anything to do with the problem?

  • Noise when waking from sleep

    I have a G4 iBook 1Ghz, 512MB Ram, 60 g HD, running 10.3.9. When waking from sleep, it has a loud buzzing noise that comes from the speakers. I know it is the speakers as you can silence it with the volume. If you restart, it is silent. It is silent from startup. It only does this on waking from sleep. At times it won't wake up at all, only responding to a forced restart. I've zapped the PRAM, reset the PMU, and all of the sound preferences. Anybody got any other suggestions?
    Thanks, Andy Ford

    I have this problem too. Sounds like shaking a can with some sand in it. Soft, not really noticeable unless you are in a quiet room or using headphones. Have all sound effects turned off in system preferences.... Have tried muting the volume. That doesn't work.
    I also notice that I get the same sound if I do something that would otherwise generate a system error noise (like searching for a term in Safari that is not present on the web page). But only on the first instance. So on my initial search for the term, I get the soft noise. If I do Cmd-G to search again, no noise.
    It's strange and I wish it would go away but I have been able to ignore it so far.

  • Problem when waking from sleep

    Hi all, my mbp has real problems when waking from sleep - I hear the dvd drive do something, the screen comes on but remains black, and then nothing else - no keys work, only holding the power button has any effect.
    I have a screensaver password on.
    Anyone heard of this before or have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    It might also be worth trying the following:

  • When waking from sleep getting "Device Removal" error on Lacie external

    When waking from sleep getting "Device Removal" error on Lacie external drive. This drive is my Time Machine back-up and I don't want to lose it. I don't know if anyone else has seen this error. Let me know.

    Getting this same error since switching from Firewire to USB. I have a Maxtor drive in an Adaptec enclosure. It has it's own power supply and both USB and Firewire 400 connections. Just upgraded to a new Mini from old Powerbook, so no more Firewire 400!
    The big difference between USB and FW:
    With the old PB G4 and Firewire, when I put it to sleep, I could hear the external drive actually spin down. On wake up, It would spin up and mount properly. Now with the Mini and USB, when I sleep the Mini, the external drive NEVER SPINS DOWN. I did some research and found that many drives have built-in power management that basically powers them down after some idle time. So the Mini is going to sleep with mounted drives, at some point later the drive sleeps itself, then when the Mini wakes, the drive's not there.
    Obviously, Firewire is doing a better job of talking to my external than USB. I'm ordering a FW400-to-800 cable and will test this. I also think it has something to do with the chipset/firmware in the external enclosure, as many people are reporting their external USBs behave properly during sleep.

  • IMac G5 Dies When Waking From Sleep

    I have a Rev A iMac G5 I bought in 2004. Recently it started doing some weird stuff when waking from sleep. After looking at some of the other posts, I think this is going to be repetitive, but I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions
    After either putting the computer to sleep or letting it go to sleep, it will frequently die after the mouse has been clicked to wake it up. I have tried resetting both the SMU and PRAM as well as repairing disk permissions and repairing the disk. None of this has seemed to help. Occasionally, I get lucky and am able to wake it from sleep normally, but this doesn't happen often. After it dies following the mouse click, I can unplug it and then plug it back in and it will start up normally. Interestingly, it will start up from shutdown normally as well as restart normally. Additionally, as long as it doesn't go to sleep, I think you can typically use it as long as you want and it won't quit.
    Today, I took the back cover off and messed around with it for awhile. The diagnostic LED behavior seems odd to me. LED #1 comes on when it is plugged into the outlet. When following Apple's instructions for troubleshooting a computer that won't start up, mine does fine because as I said it will start up normally if you unplug it and then plug it back in. Because of this, I set my computer to go to sleep quickly with inactivity. Although it did wake normally at least once, it died numerous times. The irregularity seems to occur with LED #2. One time it "died", I believe LED #2 actually remained lit and something seemed to still be working based on noise. However, the green light for the "caps lock" button wouldn't come on. Other times LED #2 would go out when it died after pushing the mouse with it asleep. During these times, I could push the internal power button and LED #2 would briefly light up, but nothing more than that would happen. On more than one occasion I would then push the SMU reset button and then push the internal power button again at which point LED #2 would fail to come on at all. After pushing the power button (and occasionally pushing the SMU button again) what seemed to be a random number of times, the computer would all the sudden start up normally again.
    My top 3 guesses are a failed power supply, failed logic board, or exhausted PRAM battery (I have never changed it). The first two may be a bit to pricey for me to consider replacing. If they are the problem, I may just settle for setting the computer to never sleep. Does this sound like it could be caused by the PRAM battery going out?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    My bad on not reporting back sooner. Indeed, replacing the PRAM battery did not fix the problem. The situation seems odd to me as I was able to sometimes wake the computer from sleep without it quitting while others times it dies. It does fine as long as it doesn't go to sleep. I can start it up and shut it down with no problems; additionally, it appears to do fine even when left on for long periods of time as long as it doesn't go to sleep. To be correct it doesn't seem to so much be the state of "sleeping", but the act of trying to wake it up from sleep. I don't think ventilation is a problem.
    What I have done is just set it to not sleep. We just shut it down once in awhile. Rather than forking out the money, I think I will just use this work around as long as it continues to work.
