My iPad 4 is making loud noises suddenly, like an alarm and lasting for about 10 seconds.

ipad loud noises

Starting with the obvious, did you check the clock app to see if the alarm or timer have been turned on ?

    what can I do ??

    Are you sure it's charged?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. suggestions to complete backup please?

    I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

  • Sudden extremely loud low-pitch buzz lasts for a second - happened randomly

    My iMac occasionally would produce a sudden and extremely loud buzz from the speaker which lasts for 1 second or less only. The tone of the buzz is like an electronic distortion, something you would hear if you have a nasty electronic feedback in a digital audio mixer, low - mid range frequency. It is extremely loud I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. It happened very randomly, usually once a month or even less. But for the last 2 weeks I have had 3 episodes of it and 2 of them consecutively. 1st episode happened when I clicked on the delete button while trying to delete a contact from my MSN list. I had iTune opened in the back but not playing anything at that moment. 2nd episode, I had RealPlayer playing in the back, iTune opened but not playing anything, my iPod was connected with the iMac. I was converting a wav file in iTune into mp3, as soon as it was done, the loud buzz happened. Before I could catch my breath, (still had the RealPlayer playing in the back, iTune on but not playing anything), I tried to open a new tab in Safari and as soon as the tab was created, that loud buzz happened again. I tried asking apple genius but they haven't heard of anything like that and they guess it's probably the internal speaker's problem which I doubt. Any suggestion?

    In some older iMacs, and others, a power surge could make noise;
    and by this 'surge' I also mean some internal power component
    could have a problem and supplying occasionally higher power.
    Does this computer run warm or hot? Not sure if there is an
    audible alert of some kind built into it; but a temperature widget
    could be helpful to see how warm it gets. iStat Pro is good.
    There may likely be a hardware cause behind this odd noise; so
    I suggest you make an external backup of your work and files
    just in case something else goes wrong; so you won't lose stuff.
    Some kinds of backup include saving what you can to an off-
    computer archive (DVD or CD media) to include using a bootable
    externally enclosed FireWire hard disk drive; properly prepared,
    and use it to make a complete computer drive 'clone' of everything.
    A clone utility, such as Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner, is good;
    since it gives you some options and also the web page allows
    you to get the utility and run it, the product is donationware and
    is a good product. Also, in the header of the home page, you can
    mouse-over the menu icons and see additional information.
    In some older Macs with a loud buzz sound, there were some
    significant hardware issues behind it. If your computer no longer
    has any AppleCare protection plan left, this may be costly to fix.
    Or you may luck out and the problem may be a loose wire, etc.
    But to backup the files and stuff (and figure out how, in the case
    of making only copies of iTunes libraries or iPhoto libraries) is
    about the best immediate advice. The computer probably should
    see a real qualified technician; not just five-minute duration 'genius.'
    With a known pattern or set of events in which the computer will
    make a loud and unnatural noise, a technician should be able to
    duplicate it. And take notes to keep a small log of what all you do
    when the computer makes this noise; so it may be duplicated in
    the presence of a troubleshooting technician.
    There may be some other cause of the 'buzz' such as a failing
    optical drive or some circuit; and there also is a chance the
    hard disk drive may be the source of odd sounds if it is failing.
    (How loud are the fans in this computer? - Do they run alot?)
    Not sure what else to say; but if the computer contents are
    backed up, and the unit goes into the shop, you will at least
    have a complete copy (bootable is best, on a FireWire drive)
    in the form of a clone; that also could be used to troubleshoot
    the computer or be useful in routine home/tech maintenance.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    At this point you will only be able to download whatever is available in the Apps Store in the iTunes Store for India. I doubt very much iBooks or iWorks will be available until the iPad has actually been released for India.

    I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    Madmonkey,
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Gaylefromnewhope,
    Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
    Next might be to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • What is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?

    Buying a used iPad... what is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?
    Thanks

    An iPad 2 will do it...for awhile. Realize that it's seemingly on it's last legs as far as iOS updates go and performance will not be great enough for today's demanding games. Also realize that a big part of running apps smoothly is how much system RAM (the memory area that the apps actually run in) the device has. The iPad 2 has 512 MB which is adequate for most apps but not for some. The iPads above the iPad 2 all have 1 GB of system RAM and the iPad Air 2 has 2 GB.
    The time will come when the iPad 2 can no longer be updated past a certain iOS version (as the iPad 1 is) so it will be more difficult to keep up with apps that you want to be using. This will eventually happen to ALL devices so you'll have to judge if you want to be at the tail-end of iOS updates or at least have a bigger buffer with a newer iPad.

  • Macbook making loud noises

    Hi, I have an old white macbook.
    Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and its suddenly making loud fan noises.
    Does anyone know how to fix it?
    Please do help, thanks

    Thinking about thus some more......are you talking about the fan running or sounding like it's hitting something? If it's just running loud try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Any way to stop new MacBook Pro hard disk from making loud noise??

    I received a brand new MacBook Pro today, and I thought everything was fine. However, when I went to use it in a very quiet room late at night, I noticed an almost unbearable noise coming from the right side of the trackpad. From reading previous discussions, I realize that it is likely the hard disk which is making the noise, and a design flaw makes the noise seem louder.
    For other people who have the same problem, is there anything that can be done to make the noise go away?

    You can return it for a replacement within 14 days of purchase.

  • IMac won't start and making loud noises

    When I start my iMac, the fan makes a really loud noise, it goes onto a grey screen showing a folder and a flashing question mark and face. My mac is a few years old and has lines going down the screen. Wondered if there was anything I could do to save it?

    Before hauling a heavy computer to an Apple store, make sure you know how old it is, or the exact model. Apple only works on computers made in roughly the last five years, and the iMacs in this forum--G3, G4, and G5 models-- were all made prior to 2006. The description of the vertical lines sounds like a G5.
