CD Eject sound when MBP comes out of sleep

Perhaps this is typical - I'm a new convert from the PC world. But the only thing that I don't like about my new MBP is that the CD drive (when empty) makes the CD eject noise every time the machine comes out of sleep. Is this typical? What's it trying to accomplish? Is there any way to disable this behavior?
Any insight would be welcomed.
thanks,
Pete

Yes it's normal. It is the behaviour of the Matshita (Panasonic) drives as they are powered, which is what happens when you boot and wake from sleep. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it.

Cyan screen when MBP comes out of sleep or power on.

For around a month now, my MBP's screen has been going a Cyan colour, and sometimes with a green now and again. This usually happens when it comes out of a deep sleep or when I power it on. I took it to the Apple store and they said that there are no hardware issues, so it must be an app that it causing the problem. It was assumed that 'Flux' was the cause, an app which changes the colour and brightness of the screen to lessen the strain on your eyes when looking at the screen in a dark surrounding. I was recommended AppZapper to get rid of the app and it's connections, which I did. The problem didn't happen for a day or two and now it is back again. I read somewhere that a broken fan may be the cause, as a buzzing sound is coming from the inside of the laptop, which does sound like a hardware issue, which I mentioned at the genius bar but as it showed that there were no hardware issues when we tested my MBP, nothing was thought of it. Does anyone have a solution to this, or know what the cause may be? Thanks.

The purpose of Flux is to lower the screen temperature (blue spectrum) at night so your computer monitor doesn't keep you awake by stimulating the pituitary gland in your brain that controls the sleep cycle.
It is important to make sure any software like that (especially) works with your currrent machine and OS X verison before using it.
The Mac has it's own controls in System Preferences > Displays to adjust the brightness and automatically dims the display to not be as bright at night.

Using this program is always a mistake, because it does a search only, thus other files are flagged and the use assumes the zapper knows what it doing and then deletes essential needed files or it doesn't catch certain files.

What likely occurred is you missed something to uninstall in Flux, and/or it's not compatible with your OS X/machine or AppZapper deleted a unrelated necessary file.
It's also possible you either have a bad fan that's striking it's own enclosure, or something got inside the machine, which wouldn't show up on the hardware tests.
I would start out by going through the Steps #1-#8 here, this will fix OS X if you deleted a essential file out of it, also kick out anything by a possible incomplete uninstall of Flux, reset the SMC and PRAM etc.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Next I would check with the Flux developer about finding out where all the parts of Flux are, and it's manual uninstall method, any issues with your machine/OS X version, then use the free Easy Find to locate the orphaned files in your Applications or User folder if there are any. The #8 Step above will refresh OS X, so no need to look there.

Once that's been done, if your still having problems, then have Apple open the machine up and inspect the moving parts.

My macbook pro keeps freezing when it comes out of sleep mode

This is the issue.....when i open the macbook the screen comes on immediately but everything is locked up except for the cursor. it moves but i can't scroll or change pages. the screen totally locks up for about 3-5 minutes. it just started doing this a couple of days ago. thx

This article explains how to reset the power manager which is one of the first things I'd do. If that doesn't do it, try creating a new account. Restart your computer and log directly into the new account. Use the computer for a few minutes, browse the Internet or play solitare or something. Then sleep the computer and wake it up a minute later or so. Locked up or normal?
If this appears to solve your problem then probably you can look to something in your account that is causing the problem. It might be a program you are running, a login item that is mostly faceless, or perhaps the driver of a device that you installed or updated recently. Tracking this down could be difficult but the Console might help.
If the problem persisted in the new account then the issue is either OS related at the top level or hardware. Calling AppleCare or going to an Apple store might be the easiest solution. But if you are using TimeMachine or have some other complete backup system you could format the drive, reinstall the OS and then migrate your applications and data using the backup.

Why does my Macbook Pro with newest OS completely FREEZE when it comes out of sleep mode? Need to hard start with power button. Hating Apple right now.

Sleep mode. Open lid. Nothing. beach ball forever. Need to hold power button and hard start EVERY DAY. This is stupid because I heard of this problem a year or so ago. Fix???

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

I want to update to iOS 7 when it comes out via iTunes. I gather that I will require iTunes 11.1 to do so, but I recently updated my version (today) to version 11.0.5. Will I be OK or wait until I have a Wi-Fi connection and do it then?

More than likely, the new version of itunes will be released later today in conjunction with iOS 7. But, yes, you can update the phone via WiFi. Make sure to set up icloud and do a back up first.

I would like to install Mountain Lion when it comes out...

I have a late 2010 MBA 13 with 2GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD running OSX Snow Leopard. I'd like to install Mountain Lion when it comes out. I've heard that I must have OSX Lion first. I've always backed up my Mac using Time Machine to an external HDD, and the backups are current. My question is, I'd like a successful install of Lion, so that when ML comes out, I can buy and install that. My computer has two seperate user accounts, one for my wife and one for myself. We both use this computer and I don't want to mess any of her files, settings, etc up with either upgrade.
Would I be safe performing a backup, then buying Lion from the Mac App Store and installing it? What problems would I run into? When ML comes out, will that be an easy upgrade also?
Ryan

You actually DON'T need to have Lion installed in order to installed Mountain Lion. You can do it right from Snow Leopard.
But if you want to install Lion beforehand(which at this point I would just say to wait for ML), then yes, backup your Macintosh HD to an external hard drive or just use Time Machine, and that will back up both user accounts.

HT5731 If I purchase the whole season of a tv show (example; PLL 4) but not all episodes are avalible or out yet will I be able to just download them when they come out or will I have to pay extra for them?

I want to download a tv show but all the season havent come out yet and so half the season is unavalible. When they come out can Ijust download them straight away or will I have to pay for them again even though im buying the whole season?

Once you pay for a season, you get the entire season as it is released.

No. You will pay for an unlocked 5s.

When Leopard comes out, will Tiger still be available?

I'm a nincompoop with computers, when Leopard comes out, will Tiger still be available to purchase? I would rather have OS X Leopard, but I don't know if my powerbook will satisfy the requirements to run it. Have they published the requirements for Leopard? I want to make an informed decision but I'm not sure if time will permit.

Here you can buy previous versions off OSX:
http://www.macsales.com/
MacSales does still sell OSX Panther (version before Tiger). So if Leopard is available for sail you can still buy Tiger there. There are also a lott other store's which do sell previous versions off OSX.
I don't know what model powerbook you have?
If it is a G4 then you can definitely run Leopard on it. Leopard will probably not support any off the Mac's with a G3 processor.
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.

Can you exchange a new iPod Touch 4G 32 gb for the new one when it comes out?

I ordered one using points from my credit card, so I want to know if I can I exchange it for the 5 when it comes out??

If you purchased it within the last 14 days you can return it for a full refund and then purchase the 5G. Otherwise Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod and purchase a new one.
