After connecting a speaker to my Mac it makes a lot of sounds

After I connect a speaker to my MBP running Lion, it proceeds to make a series of beeps, then mail sending wooshing sounds for about a minute. It's as if it's suddenly reeling off all the sounds from say the past couple of hours of use. Very odd. These are continuous sounds one after another, which then all of a sudden stops.
This is a late 2007 MBP Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 6GB RAM, 10.7.4
Any ideas?

1) Use your backup copy of your music and put the music onto your Mac, or use home share, or dvd's, external drive, flash drive,etc to move the music from the old computer to the new one.
You can see if this allows you to do it with the ipod, but I would just use my backup.

My Mac Pro makes a lot loud of processing noise

My Mac Pro makes a lot of loud clicking processing noise for simple procedures like surfing or using finder. Bought in 2006, the problems I think started after an upgrade to Snow leopard this year. Any help???

Although it is often refered to as "Number Crunching" computation does not actaully make any loud noises.
A failing Hard Drive does. Are your backups up-to-date?

Does a DAC make a lot of sound difference when connected between an iMac and a good receiver?

I have one of the better Yamaha receivers plus two Cerwin-Vega bookshelf speakers plus an Infinity sub that sound pretty good playing the AAC(mostly 256) files on my iMac. I've heard that a DAC can really make a difference. Can anyone confirm that and possibly even make a DAC recommendation?

The DAC manufacturers and, I am sure, enthusiastic audiofiles, will make all kinds of claims that an external DAC makes a huge difference. I urge some caution however because you would necessarily also have to have high end audio equipment (amp, speakers & wiring) as well as a near-perfect environment (studio, anyone?) in order to hear a meaningful difference just because of the DAC. It's not just a matter of having a DAC, it's the entire audio setup that makes the difference.
IMHO if your system is at home and you have a reasonably good amp & speakers, the analog output from your Mac will deliver excellent performance and you would be hard put to discern a difference by putting a DAC in the audio chain. At least, that's been my experience.
Also, if your Yamaha amp has optical digital input, you can connect it directly to your Mac's audio out (combined headphone + optical digital output) ... without needing a separate DAC.

My Mac book makes a lot of noise!!!

Hello,
My Mac book is 3 months old and since 3 days the ventilation is running non stop
But I notice that it depends where we are...??
Thank you for your help,
Aurelia.

Hello,
Actually, my Mac makes a lot of noise just when I watch this web site :http://football.direct8.fr/live.php. And if I close this page the ventilation remains... I think that it is link to this web site or probably to internet in general, because if just I work with the other software I have no problem... And it is strange because it started just 3 days ago...
Thanks so much for your help,
Aurelia.

Why don't I see the Info tab in iTunes, after connecting my iPhone to my Mac?

How can i find the "Info" tab in iTunes when I connect my iPhone to my apple pro to sync?

Great, but how do I sync my non-Apple email accounts?
Punch them in manually?? It used to be so simple, tick a box = email accounts set up automatically

Why does my Mac air make a lot of noise with the fan inside?

I bought Mac air one year ago. at the beginning, I satisfied with the product. However, 8 months later, the laptop made a lot of noise from the fan inside. When I I run about 4 or 5 solfwares, it starts warmer and make noise. I feel so unhappy with this. How can I fix it. I bought AppleCare programme for 3 years as well
Thanks

The mid 2011 MacBook Air fans are pretty quiet but not silent and since they are the only mechanical decice you'll hear - there's no hard drive or DVD drive to make noise - it is possible that what you hear is normal. On the other hand, fans can go bad - bearings fail and dust an make the blades become unbalanced. None of us can help - you'll need to take the computer to a repair center or Apple Store and let an Apple repair person determine if the fans need replacing or not. If so, your warranty will cover the cost.

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

HT4929 I have 2nd generation I-pod which does not meet requirements for ICloud. However, I was told that after I moved to ICloud if I connected my iPod to my Mac via the USB connection that my calendar and contacts would sync, but this didn't happen.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud. I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar. Now I find that this is not happening. I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air I Installation Guide for windows 7. Where do I find installation guide for Mac? ?

After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air I entered the disc for the Installation Guide for windows 7 that came with the monitor. Where canI obtain the installation guide for a Mac?

Those are two Q&A steps from the manufacturer's website. The first one indicating that the "driver" CD is not necessary. The second one is worth following to make sure the monitor is behaving properly. In addition you can go into System Preferences > Displays and then the Arrangement tab to see if the monitor responses from there.

I have such problem, at iphone 4s connection to itunes there is a synchronization well and after iphone is frozen and the woman explaining the instruction starts to speak (How to unblock how to switch off a sound, etc.). iphone reacts to one team, and the woman tells everything and speaks. I took iphone from a wire, but it didn't react. At attempt to switch off it it is switched off, but deletes all files which only existed on this device. What to do and how to solve this problem?

Try posting in your native language. I can't even figure out what your "problem" is from this.

How do i get video from my sony hx100 digital camera to my mac? after connecting the camera via the supplied usb cable, iMovie shows icons for 5 videos, but none will load.

i've connected the camera to the mac using the supplied usb cable. imovie shows 5 icons for videos but all of them have the red circle with slash through them and the box to import them is grayed out.

Get a nice Sony miniDV camcorder. It is not too expensive; it is small and easy to carry around to shoot your video. Most importantly, it will be instantly compatible with iMovie. You don't have to install any software, just connect it via FireWire (Sony calls this iLink) and you are good to go!
I have had several Sonys and love them. You don't need one with fancy editing capabilities because you will edit your movies in iMovie. Just be sure that it has AV In and Out so you can import and export back to the camcorder.
My current version is the small DCR HC-26. There are newer versions of that HC-30something and 40something. Look at the specs on Sony's website
Some of them require the use of a dock to import and export. I am not really fond of that feature. I like just connecting directly to the camera.
