3 loud beeps when I try to start MacBook Pro
Backed up my MacBook pro running snow leopard. trashed a bunch of old files. everything was running fine.
I shut down and restarted.
It makes the tone but no apple icon. Then three loud beeps over and over. Sounds scary.
Never had this before. What does it mean? It sounds serious.
Thank you,,
Patrice
Hi Patrice,
That usually indicates a problem with RAM.
Try troubleshootingthe RAM. Shut down. Disconnect power adapter and remove battery. If the RAM youhave installed is not the RAM provided by Apple, remove that RAM and installthe Apple-supplied RAM. If you don't have the Apple-supplied RAM, or youalready have the Apple-supplied RAM installed, remove one module, try booting,move that module to the other slot, try booting, repeat with other module.
Ifneither RAM module works in either slot, then there are almost certainly otherhardware issues (usually the logic board, which covers a plethora ofpossibilities; unfortunately, the fix for almost any LB issue is to replace theentire LB), as the odds of both RAM modules and/or both slots being faulty areextremely low (but possible).

Loud noise when loading cd/dvd in macbook pro
When I load or eject a CD/DVD, the drive is very noisy! it does some clicking sounds and you can feel that too. i'm worried that it might break down right after a year and a month...
while in use, it's quiet and it's working fine all the time. loadind and ejecting also work fine, except the noise.
i bought my macbook pro about half a year ago.
does anyone else have such a noisy drive??I just received my third MBP (other two has screen issues). This one has a very noisy drive. It pops/click when loading a disc. The drive also makes two short sounds at boot-up, even when there is not a disc in the drive. These are not "normal" sounds as the previous two had quiet drives, no pops or clicks when inserting a disc and no sounds at startup.
I will get a full refund on this junker and try it again. -

The RAM has either gone bad or somehow become unseated. Also there is the chance that the RAM slots have failed. -
When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running, but not responding and that I should close it before trying to run another Firefox. But I cannot find a way to close Firefox program that is not running as far as I can see. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did not work. I've tried various other things, but no luck. I thought programs should stop when the computer is turned off, but that didn't work either.
How are you opening the Profile Manager?

Sounds that Firefox is still or already running.<br />

Hi,
Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox: -
I get this message when I try to start Firefox after first logging on after turning on the computer.
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
Have rebooted. Works when Administrator logs in, just does this in my user profile. Have also re-intalled. Mo change in my User account.
Firefox was working fine for the last 3 1/2 years. Any suggestions?Firefox is "hanging at exit" when you exit/quit Firefox.<br /><br />

After installing a new version of Firefox, I get the error message "The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll" when I try to start firefox. Elsewhere in the forum a complete reinstall is suggested; however, I can't do that because of my company's IT policies. Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT a complete reinstall? Thank you!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I keep getting and error when I try to start my iTunes. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, Then install iTunes again. Error 2(Windows error 2)".... I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the error still occurs!!! This started happening after I installed the 10.3 update
I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and some people said that they worked.
Here is the original Link:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151777?start=0&tstart=0
OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.
2. Disconnect from internet.
3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
5. Run iTunes.
6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
7. Reconnect to internet.
8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
OR!
(Original post by Cr4z33)
1. Download and install WinRAR.
2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally. -
When I try to start iTunes I get the following error message: Itunes.exe – Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll.
Any answers how to fix it? All Im getting is error for the past 3 days!

If this is an evaluation lab, then it's time to rebuild it.
If this is a production system, then you'll need to contact product support, show proof of ownership, and get their tool that will convert the management group to a licensed version.
Generally, when building a system for production, you should do it with a full product key. there is no supported method to add the license key later except through product support's special tools. -

Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.
