Beeping noise made by iPod

Recently my iPod nano 4th generation's screen has stopped working. The audio of the device still works, but the screen doesn't. Whenever I plug it into a USB plug and plug it into the computer, it make 2 beeping noises out of the outer speaker for the iPod. Please help me know what this is.

Loud Beep Noise made whenever Sound buttons pressed to increaase or decrease volume

I have a very irritating loud "Beep Sound" that is being made whenever I press the Volume Increase or Decrease buttons.
How do I turn this off.
I have searched all the sound related settings, but not found the right place. I contacted one of the other Sunscriber Pros (Mark_Lenovo), but was referred to this Forum.
Thanks

Answer found.
Restart your computer and press ThinkVantage button to get to Bios Settings and in there you will find the setting under Alarms.
This has taken me 18 months to find!!
Now I have a quiet Volume Control!

Continuous Beeping noise on Startup and at other times

My iMac is over a year old. I have no idea what is wrong or happening here but below is what happens.
I hear a continuous beeping noise from my iMac at times. I had Firefox open and when it started beeping, a little search bar opened up at the bottom left of the browser so I assumed it was a sticky key on the keyboard so I pressed the spacebar and the beeping stopped and the search bar disappeared. This happened a few more times while I was using the browser.
The other day I started up my iMac and before it opened to the desktop it showed a small iMac HD icon so I clicked it and it started up normally, but then the beeping started so I just hit the spacebar and it stopped. Now I do remember after I turned the iMac on I accidently pressed some keys on the keyboard so this maybe why it showed the HD icon but I don't really know.
Yesterday morning I turned the iMac on and came back to hear it was beeping again. It was just a fast non stop beeping, too fast to count the beeps. It had loaded into the desktop so it was all good apart from the beeping, again I pressed the spacebar and it stopped.
Yesterday afternoon I got more beeping. Beeping is not just on startup it must be something else. I was using Firefox and was trying to scroll down the page, yet it kept jumping back to the top not letting me scroll down. This happened the other day when the beeping started. Anyhow I closed the browser and the beeping starts. I was able to turn the sound down and that got rid of the beeping, turned the sound up and the beeping still there.
I tried this so far...
unplugged keyboard and started up mac = no beeping
plugged keyboard in and started up mac = beeping
Again this morning I turned my iMac on, and beeping happened again, this time I clicked System Prefrences and the beeping stopped. I then clicked the Sys Pref folder red icon to close it and it made a different noise, but closed. I then opened up Firefox and went straight to my bookmarks to find a link, it wouldn't let me scroll down my list of bookmarks either, then the beeping started so I closed Firefox. Then I heard a loud sratchy type noise, it was much louder and hearing this has now made me think, something is not right.
Firefox version - 3.5.3
Mac OS X version 10.5.8
I don't want to set PRAM or those settings yet unless it's needed as I don't know what settings/network etc it will remove or change.
I appreciate any help:) thanks

New RAM and hard drive won't connect to computer. It's still making the beeping noise. Any ideas?

My computer stopped working and I thought it was my RAM and hard drive so I bought a new one of each of these. However, when I tried turning my computer back on after replacing them, it still made the beeping noise. I am clueless. Does anyone know what could be the cause and how to fix it. Thanks!!

Grey screen and makes a beeping noise...

Hi,
My ipod nano seems to have went on the blink. It jusat comes up with a grey screen and when I try to do the toggle and two buttons at the same time it shuts down but then when it comes back on makes a beeping noise and reverts back to the grey screen.
Can anyone help please?!?

Sometimes this is a result of a bad USB cable. Try plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged/faulty USB cable.
Have you tried other USB ports as well?

Long single beep noise on startup.

When I started up my MacBook Pro after a software update (EFI and Thunderbolt software), it made a long single beep noise, then showed the Apple logo with a progress bar below it, then flashed the screen, and went to the regular startup with the Apple logo.
I have a MacBook Pro 17", that was purchased 2 months ago, and running Mac OS X 10.7.1 (Lion).
Is this long beep a problem? If yes, what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Satyarth.

No problem, your firmware was updated.
A long tone will be heard, then a gray screen with an Apple logo appears. There is a progress bar under the logo. As the progress bar moves, your firmware is being updated.

Flashing apple logo and beeping noise

i just closed my macbook and then all the sudden the apple logo on the front cover started to flash and then that beeping noise (like when you flip it open) comes on and it just repeats over and over again. when i opened it back up, it was already on my desktop but then when the beeping noise came on again, the screen went black so i closed it and opened it back up. it's working fine right now (at least it is for now) but what was going on?

Beeping noises can be RAM-related. Try reseating your RAM.

Mac makes beep noise when I wake it up from sleep

Recently I upgraded the Ram on my macbook from 1 gb to 4 and now when I put it to sleep It wakes up becuase I can here everything on inside but the screen wont turn on. Every time this happens I have to boot it down but recently I woke it up and it made a BEEP noise and the sleep indicator light flashed with it. Again I had to boot it down. Help!!

There have been a couple posts recently of a similar nature: take the memory modules out and then reinsert, making sure they are seated all the way in the sockets. If not properly seated the system will not see them at all and refuse to even boot up.
You should also check to make sure they are the same type as the original memory modules, that is, the same speed, memory type, etc.
You did not say your source of the modules, so I will only offer OWC, http://www.macsales.com as a reliable source to compare and be sure they are the memory the Mac wants to see. You can also get information on the required memory type from http://www.everymac.com look for the type of Mac you have, and the year/model number to see exactly what memory your Mac uses.

High pitched beeping noise

I have recently purchased a 60 gig iPod and whenever I try to listen to music or watch a video that I did not purchase from iTunes a very loud, very high pitched beeping noise accompanies it and pretty much drowns out the rest of my music. The beeping is incesant and does not stop throughout the whole track. This did not happen with the iPod nano that I used to own and it only happens on music that I did not purchase on iTunes or did not transfer via cd. I have had most of this music on my computer for a very long time. Is there a way to fix this without burning over 500 songs to cd. If so please tell me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Windows XP

you are the second person to tell me that it's a hard drive problem. i'm starting to think that that is the problem. it really hasn't done that with other programs, but it does very rarely. i have the upgraded hard drive for the macbook pro. if i were to have it replaced, would it cost a lot? i'm still in the one-year warranty by about 20 days. do i just take it to an apple store and they will fix it?

Phone makes beeping noises when unlocking

Hi all, My phone made a beeping noise when unlocking the phone. I pulled it out my pocket and woke it up by pressing the button on the side, the screen remained black and it made one solid bleep, i tried it again and it beeped and nothing happend. The third attempt and everything is working fine. Has this happend to anyone else and did things start to go wrong after? My phone hasn't got wet (apart from rain with all openings covered) and lives it life in a leather phone case that covers the screen when closed with a protective flexiglass screen and hasn't been dropped (also no cracking in the screen) There isnt much more information i can give really. Sorry for bad grammar, it's pretty damm late.

Constant Beeping Noise only some songs

A constant beeping noise over powers the volume of the song, but only some songs. It doesn't happen when played on the computer through itunes, but only when using my ipod.
Please help...

... i discovered that it will pop regardless if the music is playing or not. although it's not a steady pop. sometimes it will do it every 30 or 40 seconds, sometimes less. i tried using the iPod with headphones and haven't heard the same noise yet though. so now i'm stumped.

Making weird beeping noises

Does anyone know why an ipod mini might be making weird beeping noises. It makes like 9 beeping noises in a row, each note lower than the one previous. And it just keeps repeating this same 9 beeps. ??? Things seem to be working properly, but I worry that there is some kind of problem. Any help would be lovely .
Thanks,
Jamie

I recently restored my ipod. I completely erased all the songs off of it & everything. It still beeps. There doesn't seem to be much of a correlation of the beeping with anything. It usually does it right when I plug it into my computer. It does it quite frequently when plugged in - usually when I try to play certain songs on my iTunes. I tried deleting the songs that make it beep , but it doesn't get rid of the problem because sometimes the songs make it beep, sometimes it doesn't. While it is beeping, I can't do anything in iTunes - it totally locks up. When it beeps when it's not plugged into the computer, it's usually when I select a song to play - no music is played and after the beeping stops, it skips the song I originally chose & goes to the next song. I'm not sure what to do from here. Should I delete all the songs off of my computer, reformat it again? I'd rather not... for many of the songs I have, the only copies I have are on the computer and it would take way too long to put them all on CD - so I'd rather not have to do that. Let me know if you have any idea on what I can do to remedy this problem. Thanks, Jamie

Weird beeping noises through front 1/8" jack (after wake from sleep)

Hi,
I am experiencing a really weird problem on my month-old Mac Pro. Whenever I put the computer to sleep, and subsequently wake it up, I get troubled by weird beeping noises coming through whatever headphone/speaker is plugged in to the front headphone jack. These will seemingly randomly occur in either the left or right speaker.
The weird thing about these beeps is that they only occur after a sound has just stopped playing (doesn't matter the source, it can be after a system sound, a new mail sound, after playing a song in iTunes, ...), but they don't appear after every sound. What I mean is that I can play the same sound 10 times over, and the beeping noise will or will not occur completely randomly. Now normally the beeps are very short (and slightly annoying), but sometimes this beep will keep on beeping at a constant tone. The only way to get rid of it (temporarily) is to play a sound through the headphone/speaker, for example by increasing the volume so that the little 'tick'-sound plays or by dis- and then reconnecting the headphone/speaker.
I'm pretty certain that it isn't a software related problem, because once I have a constant beep going I can switch to my line-out on the back of the Mac and turn on the speakers connected there, without them being afflicted (I also never experienced this problem with sound playing via the back line out). What's more, the beeping sound will even then continue to be audible in the headphone connected to the front jack.
There doesn't seem to be any constant factor in this behavior, except that it only occurs after waking the computer from sleep. By now I have already had the front panel replaced, as the Apple reps thought it might be a faulty headphone jack, but to no avail. The matter is ofcourse complicated because I can't reproduce the problem on the fly, because of the random occurences, thus making it hard for the service people to actually get an idea what might be wrong.
As I don't feel like missing my computer again for a while, i thought I'd ask the collected wisdom on this forums if anyone has experienced a similar problem and, if that's the case, if they were perhaps able to find out what the exact cause of this behavior was?
Thx in advance,
Tim

Ah bummer (and here I was hoping it could be easily solved) .
I'll still try a fresh system install in a few days time, to make absolutely sure it isn't software-related (against better judgement perhaps in the light of your findings, but at least I'll be able to tell support its definitely not an sw problem). If indeed the problem persists I guess there won't be any other choice than to contact support again (But since I can't afford the computer not to be available for the coming 2 months I guess I'll have to bear it for the time being, which in turns also means I won't be able to let you know if it got fixed until I'm able to bring her in).
Oh and fyi, I also have a second hard-drive installed (Seagate Barracuda 500Gb, same as the factory installed primary one), but that cannot be the cause of the beeping, as I actually bought it because of this problem (to backup my important files while my Mac went in for service the first time). So we can't blame these poor drives for our problem .
Anyway, definitely thanks for chiming in (makes me feel a little bit better knowing that I'm at least not the only one experiencing this annoying problem, although obviously I wished I shouldn't have to feel better about this ) and I'll keep you updated on any further steps made towards solving this problem, even though it may take a while as explained above.
Cheers!
