Buzzing every 30 seconds

I have seen other posts on a similar issue.  After upgrading iTunes to be able to load new IOS 5.0 I cannot play music in iTunes without getting a buzzing noise that occurs every 30 seconds and is just a burst of buzzing.  The fact that it occurs on a 30 second interval should point Apple Engineers to where the problem might be.  It is so annoying I can't listen to the music.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

  • My new DV7 buzzes every few seconds

    I just purchased a Pavilion DV7 (product number XE367EA) and something is wrong. Every few seconds it buzzes, like a spasm. It is most noticeable when I watch a video or listen to music. The activity on the screen vibrates for half a second and the speakers make a buzzing sound. Very annoying! How can I solve this problem? 

    Hi,
    From what you describe, this may be a problem with the integrated sub-woofer - try downloading and reinstalling the IDT sound driver on the link below.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50642​.exe
    After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
    If the problem still persists, my best guess would be that this is a Hardware issue - as you have only just purchased the notebook, I would strongly recommend returning it to the retailer and getting a replacement; you shouldn't have to be troubleshooting a brand new machine.

  • Iphone4 dozsn't start up just a buzz every 5 seconds on charge

    The screen on my phone4 will not illuminate at all. When I plug the phone into a computer or the wall, it just keeps vibrating every 5 seconds. I have just replaced the front screen. Help

    Take it to Apple and ask them to find out what has been damaged by the tea.
    The longer you wait the worst the problems will get as the corrsion from the liquid continues to develop.

  • IPhone 5c's screen has gone black and will not come on.  When I plug it in it buzzes every 2 seconds.

    My iPhone 5c screen has gone completely black, i can't turn it on at all. I can't even reset the phone. However when i plug it into my laptop every couple of seconds it buzzes.
    Is there any way i can fix this? Or will i have to go into the Apple store and request for a new phone. I also haven't had the phone for a year yet

  • Electronic buzz appears every 30 seconds through speaker/phones when audio in use.

    1. Probook 4330s bought in August 2011
    2. Windows XP
    3. No error msg
    4. No changes made.  No physical damage.  Just a few days ago I noticed the buzz -- like a half-second pulse of electronic interference.  It appears every 30 seconds and occurs regardless of whether or not the machine is plugged into the wall.  It also occurs even when the WiFi is closed.  I even put it in the microwave (to shield from RF) and with my cellphones in another room, and it still occurred.  I checked for updates to the audio drivers and all were "best version".  So ... what to do?
    Thanks in advance for any help ...

    Hi Crater,
    I have had some problems that sound very similar to yours, a sort of buzz/glitch every 30 seconds or so, which you mainly notice when playing audio and/or video. My friend had the same problem, and it only occured after a bios update, but I had an even newer bios, which couldn't be downgraded.
    So i got an unused laptop hdd, and installed a new windows on there, to install all the windows and HP updates etc. on there, to see whether it was a bios problem. And it wasn't. But after most of the updates were done, i did get the glitching/buzzing noise.
    Using system restore to trace my steps I found out that the HP Power Assistant caused the problems!! So i got rid of it, and the problems were gone. Afterwards i checked it on internet and found more people with this problem (of course THEN you find more people with the same problem, you know, AFTER you've fixed it yourself...), and the way to solve it was to remove the HP Power Assistant software. So, give it a try, it's a pretty useless program anyway in my opinion...
    Cheers,

  • How can I get my phone to ring every 2 seconds?

       I've looked and looked all over the internet and I have seen people with this problem but so far no solutions. I would like my bb8520 to function as any $20dollar phone would, which is to ring  every 2 seconds instead of every 10 seconds.
       My phone rings, then 10 seconds later it rings again, by the time 10 more seconds have gone by, the caller either hangs up or is sent to voice mail. If you miss the first ring, hear the second but take a little while to find or reach your phone, you miss the call.
       Is there any way I can decrease the time between rings??  I really hope someone has a solution besides contacting the carrier. The caller usually hears about 8 to 10 rings before it goes to voice mail, so it is not a carrier issue. The problem is for me, not for my caller.
       I have already changed the profiles every which way, you can only change the number of vibrations, but not the rings. My only solution so far has been to program a song as a ringtone so it lasts longer, but I prefer a regular ring ring.
      I'ts incredible that RIM hasn't been able to make this easy.
      By the way, my other issue I had is that it wouldn't vibrate and ring simultaneously, but I solved that downloading buzz me.

    about vibrating and ringing at the same time, provided you upgrade the OS on your device from 4.x to 5.0 then this option will be available without requiring to install a third party application like BuzzMe.
    About the ringing, if you are not pleased with the current ring you are using you can of course change it to another. For example of of the series which name starts with Ringer_BBPro_ . It will ring every second.

  • IPod unresponsive, screen frozen but flashes every ten seconds

    My iPod appears to be frozen and does not respond to charging, toggling the hold switch, or resetting (holding down the menu and center button). The screen is dark except every ten seconds it flashes bright white. It has been doing this for several hours now, although the flashing has slowed from every 2 seconds to 10 now. However, when I connect the iPod to my computer, the screen does respond - it's now a shade of dark gray and the iPod emits a loud buzzing noise. Besides this, nothing else happens and neither my computer nor iTunes recognizes the device. Please help!

    I had the same problem. I FIXED IT!!!
    Take your ipod apart. There are instructions at various sites. Be careful because there are ribbon wires that are very fragile.
    Disconnect the battery. Leave it sit for 2 days.
    I dont know if it has to drain a charge being held by the drive or what, but after 2 days, plug the battery back in. It should be totally dead. Plug the ipod into the wall or your computer, it will say "ipod battery very low, please wait". once it builds up a decent charge, it will reset.
    I hope this works for you guys, I almost smashed the thing before trying this.

  • Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air - mail with 32MB attachment appearing in "recovered messages" folder every 12 seconds

    Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air
    3 days ago I failed to send a mail with a large (32MB) attachment - and it is no longer in my outbox, draft mails or sent file.
    BUT a copy of this same mail now appears every about 15 seconds in my "recovered messages" folder
    I noticed when I received a system error saying I had a disk almost full issue - there were over 580 copies of the mail with 32MB attachment in the "recovered messages file"
    I deleted them all, and deleted the Trash
    BUT the message still keeps re-appearing every 15 seconds or so.  So I keep deleting them.
    Since then I have not been able to receive mail (altho' I am able to send) and Mail is VERY slow
    I am running MAC OS X 10.6.8
    I am running Mail version 4.6 (1085)

    Also here's the log before it happened. As you can see there is no activity from 9:48 to 10:00 am when the sound occurred.

  • My macbook pro screen blinks every 10 seconds

    Is there any solution for a blinking screen?
    Seems to be blinking about every 10 seconds, makes it very had to compose an email as when it blinks i will lose my typing ability.
    I think it started around the time of the last OS upgrade.
    Has anyone else experianced this problem?

    I have the same issue with mine and sadly I missed the date to get Applecare on this machine (they usually call but this time around they didn't).  ***** that I didn't get this resolved before my warranty ran out .. I'm certainly not going to shell out for a replacement motherboard out of pocket.  I now use the 9600 graphics exclusively and can almost watch my battery drop by the minute.
    On a side note I'm not very impressed with the quality control Apple has had with their portables in the last few years.  I bought this unit refurbished and it took two units to get one that worked properly, and even then this one never did as it's had this video blinking issue since day one.  The problem is I didn't really notice it until recently when I started using it running more often on battery and decided to use the mobile chipset to save battery time.  This is the third MBP I've had and their 3rd MBP that's had motherboard issues.
    When it comes time to replace this one I'm seriously considering going with a macbook air or something else.  Can't justify spending the money on more MBP's with such terrible track records.

  • MacBook Pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi All,
    My two year old MacBook Pro started freezing randomly one day. It happens with any application that I have open (Safari, Word, Finder), I get the beach ball every few seconds for any operation I try doing. When the cursor comes back I have seen spikes of CPU usage and the relevant program also shows as 'Not Responding'.
    I have tried everything, PRAM/SMC resetting, hardware test, disk repair etc. The latest being a clean install of Mavercks. It was fine for a few hours until it started freezing again like before. I made sure not to install much and didn't even copy my backup over yet.  Here is my EtreCheck output, can someone please HELP!!

    Hey ,
    I just bought my Macbook pro 15 inch late 2013 few months ago , I'm new to Apple products ,
    My screen started freezing and darkening every 4 seconds , starting from when I power it , until I shut it down even If I don'tt run any programs
    I can't move the cursor while it's freezing or do anything , but for example If I write any text , the text will show up when it unfreezes , and If I'm listening to music the sound doesn't freeze . I tried the safe mode , and reseting the PRAM and NVRAM , running disk utility in single user mode and said that everything is fine , I checked my hardware using apple hardware test and also said that everything is fine , I removed the flash player thinking that it may be the problem but nothing changed . I don't know what I'm doing because as I said I'm new to all of this but I tried random things and nothing seems to work , I would really appreciate any help .
    PS. when I tried taking a screenshot of the screen when it freezes and darkens a little , it appeared normal in the screenshot .

    After the PRAM reset did you reboot the MBP and the projector?
    If not, connect and power up the projector, the power up MBP.
    The monitor itself could be on the way out, is there another monitor you can check it on.
    Another thing you can try is a VGA cable with the DVI adapter and see if that performs better.
    You can also try a different cable, since it worked fine in the past, I'm just trying to help you.
    check some of these out:

    I hope you can find something here, it's hard to source problems when the device(s) are not in front of you.

  • My macbook pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi everyone!
    About a week ago my MBP started freezing every few seconds showing the well known spinning beach balls every time, even when running no apps, I've sepnt plenty of time looking for a solution, I've read this problem might be due to a physically damaged hard drive, bt I've tested it several times using different apps and it shows no error, I've read from another discussion about Etrecheck as a useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem, so I hope some of you guys can help me checking the log output. Here it is:

  • 13 in macbook pro (early to mid 2011) : after the update, computer freezes with spinning wheel every 30 seconds first with safari and now with all the applications. I don't have any programs installed and still had good enough memory on the RAM.

    After the update of my 13 in mac book pro (early to mid 2011) , it freezes every 30 seconds with the spinning wheel and now it just freezes. Ive never had this problem until I recently updated. Also, I just checked now for available update ( which there was one), the update would process till the last step and it shows it cannot be expanded? Now my computer wont even restart (just have a grey screen with a cursor). Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on with my computer?
    I also checked the memory and it showed available memory was over 1.5 GB. I dont have any programms installed and do not have backup yet ( dont really need it anyways)
    Problems: first with spinning wheel every 30 seconds and now whole computer just freezes when I restart, it only shows grey screen after the starting sound or it takes about 8 to 10 minutes to restart.
    This ALL happened right after the update with google chrome crashing. I know my apple care plan expired so I cant even go to genius bar. Do you guys know how much it would cost to get it fixed ? Or any recommendations I can do to fix this?

    Try a smc reset:

  • My browser keeps pausing and giving me the color wheel every few seconds

    Whenever I'm using Firefox my browser pauses every few seconds and if I am typing something nothing comes out, or the color wheel comes out (I'm on a Mac), if I'm watching a video it pauses every few seconds... it's sort of maddening. I do have about 20 tabs open at a time, I don't know if that is what causes it. It doesn't seem to happen when I am in Safari.

    "the spinning wait cursor is displayed automatically by the window server when an application cannot handle all of the events it receives. If an application does not respond for about 2 to 4 seconds, the spinning wait cursor appears."
