2 recent issues pls advise: 'tinking' noise and Sleep is delaying

In the past month my mbp started having this 'tinking' noise, at first I thought it was the movement sensor thing, but it happens when completely still on a table and there are more 'tinks' the first 10 minutes after starting but will randomly 'tink' after that. It does not seem to be coming from any particular area on the body.
Starting about a week ago, when I want to put it in sleep mode (I press the power button then select 'sleep' from the pop-up) now suddenly it takes 1-2 minutes for it to actually switch off, when previously it was almost instant. I don't recall any updates and haven't downloaded anything lately. I did a permission repair which didn't help but have not been breve enough to try a disk repair. I'm a Mac noobie and NOT computer saavy. Thanks for any advice.

I think you left a message on my post concerning this.
When you have your macbook on, hold it up to your ear and listen underneath at the back of the computer, just below where the power button is, but underneath... and listen for the "tink"... can you hear it coming from there?
I left my macbook in at an apple store and he said it could be the drive heads "parking", so they de-activated the motion sensor, but the little tink noise still happens. I just don't think they know what it is, and i'm beginning to wonder if they even understand what the actual noise is that i'm trying to explain to them. I went into the System Preferences > Energy Saver and turned off "put the hard disk to sleep when possible" (for "battery" and "power adapter"). As I read also that maybe the "tink" is the computer waking up from sleep each time. BUT that hasn't done anything either!
SO! I don't know what we should do. I mean it's not affecting the running or the functioning of the computer, it's just a tink noise that I don't know what's causing it. It's either keep the macbook and live with it, or send it back complaining of an unexplained tinking noise that not even the apple store "specialists" know how to locate or fix.

Recent issue on multiple PCs: Preview and Export flicker/banding/moire effect

Recently we discovered one of our PC's flickering and banding in the preview window during playback and on exports. Shortly thereafter, the same issue appeared on another workstation. What we are seeing is a variation of issues that include but are not limited to the following within the preview window and more importantly in our renders:
Flicker - Video changes in brightness
Moire effect - Can see a cross-hatch pattern during playback
Banding - You can clearly make out horizontal or vertical lines, or sometimes both.
Seeing layers beneath 100% opacity layers. When two layers are stacked with footage, you can see the footage below as if the top layer is at 97% despite the actuality of it being at 100%.
These issues exist on multiple machines with differing specs, in all projects. This is neither a project or machine-based issue. All effects removed from clips within the timeline; source footage looks great in standalone player. These issues occur with a new project with a blank color matte.
Just spent 3+ hours in live chat with an Adobe Rep who remotely team-viewed to see the same issues testing project base solutions to no avail. Everything was tested from render containers/codecs, local vs server, project managing, cache clearing, etc. These same projects did not exhibit these issues a week ago.
All of these situations lead me to believe that this is a Premiere issue, something changed with how Premiere is handling our files and this is a huge issue. We are unable to deliver finals to clients due to this problem.
Ticket # 0185909669

Ran some tests. Wiped everything with Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Reinstalled the previous iteration of CC (not 2014), version 7.0.0 base. The issue exists here as well. Updated it to 7.2.2, same thing. Wiped everything again with the cleaner tool, installed CC 2014 Base, 8.0.0 and had the same issue, updated to current version no difference. These issues did not always exist, this is of recent coming.
We are running multiple Windows 7 and 8 machines at 64-bit. Their hardware varies per computer and all produce the same results.
We are having to make all renders from ONE mac that does not exhibit the symptoms described in the first post. This is HUGELY restricting to our business and we are having to wait on queues of renders to deliver due to this.
Exact same issue in post here: Re: Weird Horizontal Interference in Exported Video (check out the YouTube link)

"Chirping" Noise and Sleep problem

My 1st gen IMac G5 has been making some "chirping noises"for the last six months. They seem to be coming from the lower left quadrant of the monitor. They really get busy when the computer is starting up from being shut down. I am hoping this isn't a hard drive issue, as I have already had one replaced after a failure.
I also have a problem with putting the computer to sleep. I usually have to sleep it twice for it to stay asleep. Then when I check it again the next day, sometimes it is awake. It wakes up to my login screen and I have no screen saver for that one.
I would appreciate any input regarding these issues.
Thanks, Bob Bullock

To Apple Discussions!
I have no idea what could be causing the "chirping" sound as you are starting up from a shutdown unless there is a cricket inside your computer that doesn't like cold bootups.
Since you mentioned a previous HD issue, see if you qualify for the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues
**WARNING: DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR COMPUTER'S SERIAL NUMBER ON THESE MESSAGE BOARDS.**
Regarding your sleep issue, see Knowledge Base Article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341 How to reset the SMU on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) or Power Mac G5 (Late 2005)
Good luck!

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

sounds like you broke the display when you dropped it. There's nothing we users here can do for you.
Since the iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage, you will have to pay to have your phone repaired or replaced. You can bring it into Apple for an out of warranty exchange in the country of purchase, or you can find a 3rd party iPhone repair store in your area.

Custom will show automatically as soon as you just edit some options. So just go ahead, you don't need to select "custom"

Are you using iCloud as well as manually synchronizing via iTunes?
And, do you have backup?

Aperture Noise and processing issues

So I've finally got down to processing the same Raw file of a Canon 1Ds and exporting it from Aperture as a .psd. I've taken the same raw processed in PhotoshopCS2 and saved as a .tif.
The shot is over a creek just after a snow. Gray water and trees covered with snow. I have to say, there is such an obvious inferior difference with Aperture full of color noise, color moire, even the image definition is worse. The photosho image is soooo much better that I must be doing something wrong, but I've been preparing images for prepress now for many years. The noise in the water is unacceptable. I could not turn this image in. I will have to do some other tests, but this really surprises me.

I saw this post in another thread as well, and trust me I am not trying to get an argument started. I only want information. I read reviews for all sorts of gear and sw, and sometimes I never see the same issues everyone else is seeing due to my experience or knowledge. So, I went to the ARS site, downloaded each set of files that was shot with the Nikon (not Canon since I don't own a Canon) and reviewed them to see if I could see the issues.
Cat Photo
The Capture One image seems to have the least noise. Just at first glance, it seems to be the most appealing. It is softer, but less noisy than either ACR or Aperture.
Aperture and ACR seem to have equal noise, although the Aperture noise is different, seeming to have a bit of color (green) to it. But they seem close to me.
the Aperture image seems harsh in that is has edge enhancement or too much sharpening.
Football Image
Again, the C1 image has the least noise and looks the "best" to me. There is still a great deal of noise in the black sky, but less than either of the other two.
Once again, the Aperture image, if zoomed into the QBs head, has noise that has green color to it.
Looking at ACR and Aperture side by side, ACR looks better to me, but it seems to be a color issue as well, so some of that might be correctable.
Dog Image
To be perfectly honest, I saw no real differences in these images.
So the post said they were much worse, and from what I see, I don't see the dramatic differences that everyone is talking about. I see almost as much difference between C1 and ACR as the others.
I am not looking to get flamed, but I would like to know what others are considering dramtic flaws so I can get a better idea of what I am not seeing. I am not saying that is not the case, only that my less expereiced eye doesn't see it.
I am not a pro photographer, so I probably am missing something. But since there is a site that has some images we can all use for comparison, why not some objective talk about those images? It is easy to post "My images look horrible with Aperture but great with ACR" but lets use these images to point out to the lesser of us exactly what we are talking about.
And really, lets try to avoid 300% crops to prove the point.

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast. Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

Several users are reporting a server problem with Software Update. Why not wait and try again later today or tomorrow to see if the problem is resolved.
If the problem is on your computer then give this a try:
Fix for Software Update
See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
Delete the following files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist where "xxx" is a number.
/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)

HT204406 my iTunes match can not pass the step 2, it keeps repeat again and again. Pls advise. Thank you.

my iTunes Match can not pass the step 2, it keeps repeat again and again. Pls advise. Thank you.

Very strange. Two items to try:
a. Enable iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields in Song view, sort on status and look for any 'waiting' or 'error';
b. If (a) looks good, establish a new user account, create an empty library and enable iTunes Match, confirm that this provides access to all Songs and is working well.
These are seeking to ensure both no bad Songs or local Library corruption - both are relatively quick.

You can't because iOS 6 is the latest software and you can only upgrade your phone to the latest software, so with iOS 6 being available you won't be able to upgrade to 5.1.1.
What you want to do is not possible, so you will either have to make the decision to upgrade to iOS 6 or not upgrade at all and stick with what you have.
