Macbook Pro 2009 Mid year  making noises from top right corner near the cd

I recently got my macbook pro and on the second day i begun to hear a noise from the cd drive like a scatching sound or like a disc was playing without anything being in there. I brought it to the store within a week and they said it needs a new logic board. I only had it for a week and its been in repair for almost 2 weeks. Is this normal? Im getting a feeling that my computer isnt new or something. Can i ask for a new one or is it to late? im having doubts now.

  • My macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    my macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas? It's really worrying me because I haven't had it for up tp 2months and last week everytime I switch it on it makes sooo much noise. And I treat like an egg so I don't understand whats going on.

    Hey,
    My friend had a very similar issue to yours. The issue came down to the pins of the MagSafe not meeting with the MacBook perfectly causing the lights and the transfer of power to be wacko. I'm not sure if this is issue that your experiencing, but its worth checking out the pins and the MagSafe area on your MacBook for debris.
    Troubleshooting Magsafe power adapters with stuck pins
    If that is all clear, then I would suggest you call AppleCare or take it in to an Apple Store to have it checked out.

  • I opened my brand new MacBook Pro the other day and noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is it from and how do I get rid of it????

    I am having a problem with my brand new MacBook Pro. After opening my laptop the other day I noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? It is most annoying. Please Help!

    "What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
    Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

    Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
    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
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion 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)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

  • I have Macbook Pro 13" mid 20012. How to install Windows 8 onto the mac using DVD? 10.8.3

    the title says it all.
    i have windows 8 DVD and i would like to have a clear instructions on how to install windows 8. I dont understand the need for USB

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
    Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • My MacBook Pro 2009 Fan is making a weird "revving" noise

    Hi,
    This has started to happen recently on my 2009 13" MacBook Pro.
    The fan, when running ANY higher than 2000 rpm makes a revving noise.
    NOTE: This is COMPLETLEY different to just the high speed fan noise. I do know what that sounds like.
    It sounds like the fan is somewhat scraping on something, but when I looked at it there doesnt appear to be anything in there.
    When it runs a bit faster, it actually sounds like a revving engine... while running at the same speed.
    This is no longer under the AppleCare warranty.
    Here is a video of the noise... (its still processing but sh
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgFed4RMV-g

    Replace the fans yourself, visit iFixit and other Mac places to order parts.
    By the way, you didn't focus on the smcFan control's stats in the Finder to see the revving, barely can hear anything like revving at all, just a heavy blowing which is expected at 6000 RPM.
    remake the video or lit's likely smc needs a update.

  • My macbook pro has fallen and making noise

    A day before yesterday, my MacBook pro has fallen into the ground.  Now it become noisy.  Any advice on how to solve this problem is appreciated.

    Since you have no Apple store to help you we'll have to see if we can solve your problem remotely.
    What is your ex at model, size and year?
    What is the noise like? Is it a fluttering,  buzzing noise or a squealing noise? Is it constant or occasional? Do you have access to small screwdrivers or know someone who has some?
    > my MacBook pro has fallen into the ground<
    So clearly something inside has gotten displaced or damaged. So depending on the model, the bottom of the case will have to come off. Then you'll have to run the MBP to determine which component is making the noise. Someone who knows what they are doing will have to be the one to do this, otherwise damage to the MBP can occur. If there is no one, just be careful and don't touch anything.
    > because the system does not recognise mine.<
    Did this happen after you upgraded to Yosemite?
    >customers outside USA.<
    I would think that it would be difficult for any company to provide world wide service to products they make. As an example I tried to help a friend living in Uruguay. I sent him camera parts from the US three times and each time the shipment never made it to him.

  • Macbook pro over 5 years old phoned up because it fell onto the floor and mad a big bang looked at screen it was cracked and battery looked liked it had exploded i explaind what had happend and was told that it was normal how dangerouse is that no warning

    mac book pro 17 over £2000 when new in the middle of the night i heard a loud noise found out that my laptop was on the floor looked and seen screen was craked and that what looked to me the battery had exploded coursing it to fall on to the floor the was nor warning and have had no recal letters from apple warning me that this may happen . so i phoned up apple and was speacking to some one i have thare name but wont say explaind what had happend an he said that it was normal to my shock as if it landed on any one or poss a pet as it was random .he said it was normal more than once and also i was on speaker phone and had some one else listening .i asked for him to send me what he had said via email but he said he could not so he put me through to some one called katalin who said to ignore what he had said . but at this stage i had two isues one that my expensive laptop is damaged .and the second it thta thay admited liyability by saying it was normal
    after many emails and phone calls i think there best offer was if i spend about 184 pound thay would give me a £54 discount which as i have just spent over £2200 on new macbook pro was a bit on an insult
    i do under stand that batterys do charge but as i had no warning especial if this was going to happen
    if as thay said this is normal as it was bourght from apple direct should thay have sent a letter or email as thay would have had my details warning me that this can randomly happen as in my case .

  • The file "Acceptance Letter.pages" doesn't exist. Since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro I cannot save or export from Pages. Just get the message at beginning of this post. How to solve problem?

    I cannot save or export from Pages since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro . I just get the message at beginning of this post “Acceptance Letter.pages” doesn’t exist or whatever file title I have inserted How to solve problem?

    Thanks Peter but I was not seeking to store with I-Cloud. In fact I never store documents with I-cloud.
    I was in fact trying to store the files to Documents, which is where I usually keep such things.
    Have now discovered that if I leave the file untiled and simply close it, rather than saving it then it will save, oddly, to Documents. I then have to re-title it and move to the folder I want it in.
    Despite the above, even once it is titled and saved in Documents then if I reopen it I still cannot then Export it to a Word or PDF file. I still just get the message . xxxxxx.pages does not exist!
    Bad news as I am constantly exporting documents to Word and PDF to send to others who do not use a Mac

  • Hi: Refomatting a Macbook pro 2009 (mid)

    I just bought a used MBP and the seller did not reformat before mailing. how do I do this without losing all the programs. The laptop has not arrived yet but I do not think it has any disks with it. It is a 3.06 processor running the latest version of Snow leopard, I think at least it is 10.6 or up.
    Thanks,

  • MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2012 says only supports Windows 7

    Hi there,
    I have Windows 8 already running on my MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2012 and now I am trying to install the latest drivers. But when I download the drivers via the Boot Camp Assistant it claims my MacBook only supports Windows 7.
    I did the manual download on the Windows side of life, but it fails to install, shortly after hitting setup. I guess, it checks the modell and fails.
    Also, maybe or maybe not, unrelated in the MacBook's about me it claims to be a 13", where as in the system report it shows the correct information.
    Any idea would be appreciated...
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    projectRelentless has some work arounds that may help here specifically:
    If you want, try and click setup in this latest BootCamp support set, and you will get another sad error claiming x64 is not supported, something awful to that nature.  Awww man, this far, only to get let down.  Nope.  We are going to fix that.  And this is where ErikVanD's post pointed me to what we do next.
    It was said to navigate in the BootCamp 5.0.5033 folder to something of the effect of BootCamp/Drivers/Apple and run the MSI file "BootCamp"  (MSI file will say Windows Installer in its description, and not necessarily MSI for anyone not too savy with Windows) **note - NOT .bootcamp (notice the period in the front) and it should work and install the new Windows 8 support for your MBP...but in my case it didn't, which is why im posting how i fixed this.  Your setup may somehow be different, but mine gave me an error say it "needs elevated permissions to run, use setup.exe instead.  We tried that remember!  And it gave us the x64 not supported error.  Oh man!  Blabbing aside, this file needs to be ran as an administrator, which yeah your the only user, but Windows is funny like that.  Normally youd just right click, and select run as administrator, but out the box, that option isnt there when you right click, only install, repair, open with etc.  Here's the next trick, you need to add a registry file to enable running as an administrator, dont be afraid, this is an old trick, and really easy. 
    Open notepad in Windows, and create a new doc, call it Add_MSI_run_as_administrator.reg
    Paste this following code into the new doc
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\Shell\runas] "HasLUAShield"=""  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\runas\Command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\     00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6d,00,\    73,00,69,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,63,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,2f,\   00,69,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,00,22,00,20,00,25,00,2a,00,00,00
    Or download the file already made from my company server at http://www.theprojectdev.com/public/pub.html  **i put this there as a courtesy to help others like me, its just a complete reg file, so either create your own through copy and pasting above or download it.  Either way, put it on your desktop.
    Now double click the new registry file, and allow/ok it to do its thing. 
    Once done, you can discard the file from your desktop, or keep, your choice.
    Guess What!?  Now we can do the impossible!  Lets revisit that solution from before by going to the newest BootCamp 5.0.5033, and navigate to BootCamp/drivers/Apple and select that tricky BootCamp MSI file that wouldnt allow us to run, this time RIGHT CLICK it.  Because of our new registry entry we placed, we now have an option to "Run as Administrator"  Click that option.
    WooHoo!  We have done what coudnt be done, BootCamp will now walk you through the installer, and add all the great support for Windows 8

  • Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

    My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
    When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
    coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
    So my question is two fold:
    1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
    2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
    Cheers,
    James
    nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

    I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
    Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
    Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

  • Macbook Pro 17 Mid-2009 Freeze during Wifi Time Machine backup

    I have a 17" Macbook Pro 17" Mid 2009 model, running ML 10.8.2, 8GB memory. I am backing up the system to an Airport Extreme shared disk with Time machine over Wifi using the 5GHZ band. My system has all-of-a-sudden started locking up completely during backup. No mouse movement, and everything frozen -- even the clock. The only way I am able to back up is directly connecting via ethernet to the AE, or by attaching a USB disk.
    The system has been working for over a year to the AE TM, and at first I thought it was OSX 10.8.3, so I wiped out and reinstalled from scratch and the system still locks up on 10.8.0. So far, it's only over wifi. I also tried during my troubleshooting, using Carbon Copy Cloner to a Sparsebundle image over Wifi with the same results.
    I can access and copy files from the AFP hosted disks on the AE with no problem. So it seems to be something in Rsync and the Wifi drivers that aren't jiving.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    I see nobody is reacting to your problem.
    I have (almost) the same problem, but with 10.7.5.
    Not only Time Machine freezes up (over WiFi and USB-connected), but also my Music downloads (everything else works fine) to my iPhone 5 (with  iTunes 11.1) and also Spotlight (indexing for minutes and then freezes).
    All these 3 actions (which usually take longer than anything else) freeze up after 3 to 15 minutes. Never the same, always different durations. Very annoying.
    On the other hand: ever since I disabled Spotlight, my MacBook Pro A1286 is as fast as when I bought it in 2009.
    This all happened suddenly, out of the blue. No added software, hardware. No changes in prefs.
    I had my hardware checked. I have done a memtest. All the tricks in the book. To no avail.
    Aopple techs tell me to wait till Maverick......some solution ;-)
