How do I stop my MacBook Pro from buzzing?

My MacBook Pro occasionally makes these weird buzzing/clicking noises even when it isn't on. After awhile, it usually stops but sometimes it takes longer to stop. It sounds like it's coming from the vent thing connecting the keyboard to the screen. Is there any way that I can stop this from happening? What should I do? Thanks!!!

  • How do I stop my MacBook Pro from making shortcuts on my desktop when I'm moving a folder

    So my question is,
    How do I stop my MacBook Pro from making shortcuts on the desktop when I'm trying to move the original photo, all I want to do is move a picture from a folder on the desktop without making a shortcut!

    Hi RockHazard,
    If you want to change the behavior of the Finder when moving files around you can use keyboard shortcuts.
    OS X: Keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support
    Way down under Finder shortcuts we find:          
    Command key while dragging
    Move the dragged item to another volume or location
    (the pointer changes while key is held)
    Option key while dragging
    Copy the dragged item
    (the pointer changes while key is held)
    Command-Option key combination while dragging
    Make an alias of the dragged item
    (the pointer changes while key is held)
    Best regards,

  • How do I stop my MacBook Pro from hibernating?

    I purchase my first MacBook Pro (late 2011 model) a few months ago. I Installed OS X Mountain Lion and everything was working fine. I could close the lid, and open it again, perhaps half a day later, and it would wake from sleep and allow me to enter my password.
    Now, in the past month (perhaps due to software updates), the behaviour has changed. Now, it goes in to hibernation when the lid is shut for more than a few hours. Upon waking from hibernation it takes a good 30 seconds or more before the clock updates and I can enter my password.
    I have been in to System Preferences -> Energy Saver, and changed the settings to never enter display sleep or computer sleep, and I have disabled putting hard disks to sleep when possible. I have also used the pmset utility to set the timeout for hibernation to start to 2 days. I have tried reseting the PRAM and the SMC.
    None of this has worked.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know a way I can stop my MacBook Pro from hibernating so often?
    Just to clarify: Everything mentioned above has been when it is plugged in to the wall charger.

    It just loads them it doesn't download them. So quit iPhoto.

  • How do I stop my MacBook Pro from trying to connect to a home Server?

    My Macbook Pro keeps trying to connection to an external harddrive server that I run at home when I am not home. I get an error that the server is not available. I checked the console and it gives an error of AFP_GetServerInfo - can not connect 64. I have removed from my favourite servers connections, I have deleted all programs that start automatically but nothing seems to fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
    I'm running a 2014 13" Macbook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3.
    Cheers,

    There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve. Please take whichever of the following steps is applicable that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
    Step 1
    If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
    Step 2
    If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
    Step 3
    You may have created aliases to files or folders on the server. If you don't know whether you did that, you can find all aliases as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemContentType=com.apple.alias-file
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    The search window will now show all aliases on mounted volumes. You can see the target of each alias by selecting it and opening the Info window. Delete any that refer to the server.
    Step 4
    Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
    Step 5
    Copy the line below to the Clipboard as in Step 3:
    ~/Library/PDF Services
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
    Step 6
    Open the folder
    ~/Library/Preferences
    as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
    Log out and back in again, and test.
    Step 7
    Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
    Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
    If you get the alert when connecting an iOS device with iTunes, re-create your iTunes library and playlists. See also this discussion.
    Step 8
    Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
    Step 9
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Step 10
    Launch the Directory Utility application. Depending on what version of OS X you have, you may be able to do that by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. If that doesn't work, triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices
    Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder named "CoreServices" will open. The Directory Utility application is in that folder, or in a subfolder named "Applications".
    In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and /Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
    Step 11
    Open the following file as you did in the last step:
    /etc/auto_master
    It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master          # Use directory service
    /net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers     -fstab
    /-               -static
    If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

    Most users of your Mac with those panic logs have a specific Hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at your nearest genius Bar. Take a printout of one crash report and this article:
    TS4088- MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    If you are not served by an Apple Store, make an appointment at your Apple distrubutor.
    They need to run an ADDITIONAL diagnostic to check for a particular problem in your exact model Mac. The regular diagnostic does not find this problem.
    Do not leave until they have run this special diagnostic. It may find a problem that requires a motherboard swap. If it does, it will be covered by a special program.

  • How do I stop my MacBook pro from giving me a static shock.

    I know I'm not the only person this is happening too , i use a standard uk charger and have even bought a new charger in attempt to correct the problem . giving that i spent over £1000 on my laptop and feel quite let down by the fact that there seems to be this "deal with it response"
    please help .

    The "genius" bar guys said there is no hardware fault ( as i have taken it in for repair) but i'm pretty sure it is not supposed to do it.
    wondering if a case would help .
    do you use a case for your macbook pro ?

  • How do i stop my macbook pro from stuttering?

    my mac started behaving very strangely this week.
    in all computer operations, there is a visual stutter that happens roughly every ten seconds.
    this is most obviously displayed in watching a youtube video.
    another example is, if i open TextEdit and hold down one key, the letters being typed will stutter roughly every ten seconds.
    this happens in every program. it happens to my mouse cursor as i move it. it happens as i summon the desktop menu in and out of the screen.
    this problem makes it very hard to accomplish a task like video editing, and makes any computer task more annoying and unpleasant.
    there is one mysterious solution, however. when i open Google Chrome, the stutter stops. all computer tasks become smooth again, within Google Chrome and everywhere else.
    when I close Google Chrome, the stutter resumes its place.
    my solution for now is to have Google Chrome permenantly running on my computer. but this seems like a bizarre solution. does anyone have any ideas how i can get my computer back to normal?

    It just loads them it doesn't download them. So quit iPhoto.

  • How can I stop my Macbook Pro 3,1 (2008 model) from logging off randomly?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how I can I stop my Macbook Pro from logging out randomly? (version 3,1, 2008 ish). I recently installed Snow Leopard on an upgraded hard drive (did both at the same time)---and now my machine has been randomly logging my out.
    I believe this problem has happened to a lot of folks, who linked it to a WindowServer Error. Here is what my log looks like for (what I think) is the problem:
    Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    AFAIK no one has definitively resolved this -- I was able to greatly reduce the frequency of occurance of the problem by changing the way I use my MBP (basically, trying to reduce graphically intense operations) -- the thing which seemed to work best for me (at least for several months) was disabling the graphics acceleration in VMWare Fusion -- this reduced the number of logouts from 3-4/week to 1-2/month -- however, in the last few months the problem has returned and now occurs 1-2 times/week.
    My best guess at this point is that this just the same "NVIDIA gldAttachDrawable" bug referenced in many posts, but that it can be triggered by different conditions/programs.

  • HT1338 how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software? also please let me know what do i have to do to save my files from being deleted when updating? thank you

    how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software?

    First you have to purchase Snow Leopard, 10.6, from the Apple on-line store for $20.  Install and on-line software update from the disk version to the last of the line, 10.6.8.
    Then determine if you can go to Mountain Lion, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if you can go to the App Store and purchase for $20 the download of 10.8.3.
    If you cannot go to ML, see if you can go to Lion, 10.7.5, do you have an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor at least 2 GB ram and 7 GB free hard drive space.  If so you can purchase a download code for Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE for $20.
    If you can use Mountain Lion, skip the Lion step and go directly to ML.

  • How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop

    How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop?  It seems to happen a lot after I've hooked my laptop to my Thunderbolt in my office and then I unhook my laptop to go present at a clients of taking my laptop home to work.  Every once in a while if even places all of my folders and PDF files in the far upper left corner of my screen.  Needless to say, having to constanly rearrange my desktop is extremly annoying and would love to know what the fix is for this problem.  Thank you in advance for any help offered!

    Thanks for the tip "baltwo", unfortunately my desktop settings were already set to NONE.  I've had one of my IT guys here this moring helping me look through all of this and we're at a wall trying to figure out why it's doing this.  This morning when I docked to the Thunderbolt all my folders and PDF files are in the upper lefthand corner stacked on top of each other almost out of view.  If I go to settings, displays, and swith to mirroring, all the folders and files go right back to where they're set up on my MacBook desktop, but I lose the ability to utilize the entire screen of the Thunderbolt.  Very frustrating to say the least and after searching through and reviewing several forums, Apple is very much aware of this issue and seems to be keeping silent on the issue.  Hoepfully they'll launch a fix soon!
    THANKS again for the tip, it's much appreciated!

  • HT1338 How can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS X 10.5.8 to most recent Operating System ?

    How can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS X 10.5.8 to most recent Operating System ?
    I just bought a Ipad Air and realized than my MacPro does not support Icloud.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
