Camera makes the clicking sound without me being in a camera program or initiating a picture.

My wife's Macbook Air computer camera does not connect to any camera program. But more importantly, it seems to make the picture taking "click" at odd times while she is doing other things. I told her to put a small strip of tape on the camera. The sound has stopped. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is?

Thanks, but I think I will first update her software. There does seem to be a problem with the camera connecting to applications in several people experience. If that problem is ameliorated, then I will consider the problem solved and keep the sticky tape on the camera.
Thank you

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

So every time i start up my comp i get a white screen with a question mark on a file. It also makes the clicking sound that it makes when its thinking. what do i do?

i have tried rebooting with the command+option+p+r keys and that doesn't work
i have tried holding down the shift key and that doesn't work
i have tried inserting the cd that it came with but nothing happened
i have only had it for about a year
am i screwed?

If it is a Mid 2012 model it did not come with a CD or DVD. So I don't know what disc you are using but it certainly did not come with the system. Now if it is older the a 2011 model then those came with optical discs.
Try holding down the Coomand+r key yo boot to the Recovery HD partition. If that doesn't work hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen. From that you can use Disk Utility to check the internal hard drive.
But I suspect your drive might be failing or it is totally corrupted. If the system is less then a year old you are still inside the one year warranty period and if you are I suggest you take it to an Apple store to checked out and fixed under that warranty.
Also if the system is still within the one year warranty I suggest you buy the Applecare Extended warranty. You may need it.

When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Should Keyboard have the "clicking" sound when typing?

I noticed that the MacBook Pros, when typing on them, have the clicking sound when pressing each key. My wired keyboard also has a clicking sound when typing. However, the MBA I just received in the mail, does not. Only the space bar essentially does. Is this the same for all of them? Thanks.

Yes, this is normal. The keys don't really click, the spacebar isn't really a click but it makes a slightly more click like sound the other keys on the MBA.
The latest MBP keys are more like the MBA keys I believe.

Why the click sound is not working after publishing?

Hello all.
I have around 190-200 slides in my project. I want my mouse object to have the click sound in some slides and without click sound in rest of the slides.
Using its properties panel I have added click sound for the required slides. But after publishing the project I am unable to hear the click sound. When I refresh the page I could hear the sound. Why does this happen?
Regards,
Kartik.P

Hi,
Do you face this problem even with a single slide project? Because this seems to be working fine at our end.
Also, is it an upgraded project, single click or double click?? Does it happen only on few slides or all slides with mouse click sound.
Thanks,
Sikandar

Dropped my ipod and now it makes a clicking sound and won't turn on at all. is it cheaper to get a new one or fix this one?

i have tile floors and i dropped my ipod classic flat on its back while it was off. i tried turning it on after that and it now it makes a clicking sound and won't even turn on. all it shows is a dead ipod and told me to go to apple.com/support/ipod. i'm not sure how to fix it or if it's even fixable. or is it just cheaper to get a new one?

If the phone will not power on try these three things:
Connect it to your phone charger
Connect it to your computer and open up iTunes
Perform a hard reset (Hold down the sleep/wake (top) button at the same time as the home (circle) button for 45 seconds. When the apple appears on the screen let go of both buttons.

Hindge makes a clicking sound when I press down

If I press down on the right side of the hindge, it makes a clicking sound. Is this normal? My 1 year warranty expires in April so I want to get his fixed if it's an issue.
thanks.

It is not normal. dominic23 is correct, have it looked at. There exists the possibility there may be future problems in the display connection. (much annoyance, grief and frustration not to mention monetary outlay.)
Ciao.

My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?
