    Has anyone had this problem?

    in the future, buy this, this is what the Pros use:
    for drops, accidents, spills, loss, or theft, purchase a TYPE of insurance called "inland marine insurance"
    roughly $30 per year for a device(s) with 0 deductible, used same for over 20 years, same insurance the pros use on their portable devices.
    very cheap, very useful insurance, most people dont know about same.

  • IMac loud whirling noise when asleep and after shutdown

    For the last two or three days I have noticed a loud whirling noise when my iMac goes into sleep mode.  Today it is now doing so after shut down.  The only way to get it to stop is to be logged in and working or unplugging the machine.  I have a 21.5 iMac and its only 6 months old. Any ideas?

    Contact Apple's Express Lane since it's under warranty. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located).  BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

  • Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

    Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

    Are you perhaps referring to dragging an item out of the Dock and onto the Desktop?
    If so, they are intended to poof-disappear when you do that.
    The reason - the icons shown in the Dock are a form of alias, not the real item. Any running app will have its icon shown there; and those that do appear there can be made to stick even when the program is quit. This means that there must be a mechanism to get rid of them, else there would eventually be too many. One way is to right-click or Control-click the item, then select Remove from the popup menu that appears. A more convenient way is to just drag them off of the Dock and have them disappear.
    If you want to replace an item on the Dock, just drag the item to the Dock, wait for the items already there to make room for it, then drop it onto the Dock. Apps can only be placed to the left of the vertical dashed line; folders can only be placed between the dashed line and the Trash.

  • Small clicking noise when moving

    hello, ive only got the new macbook pro 13 the other day. when i slightly move the machine, it makes a small clicking noise (when its running with lid open), but it doesn't every time, like 3 out of 10 times. and i dont mean moving as in taking it into a different room, i mean like a slight move if i need to stretch or a wobble of my body with the macbook. any advice pls? thanks

    My 2.53ghz 13" macbook pro is doing the same thing. This is odd because the 13" unibody macbook I had before this also has SMS and it never did this. If it is the SMS sensor, it is kicking in for very slight movements.
    Could it be the SMS sensor is a little too sensitive? If so, is this something I should be concerned about?

  • Loud tapping noises when cartridges move to right

    When the machine is idle or when a print job is sent, cartridges sound like they move all the way to the right then there is a loud tapping noise before it begins printing.  This even happens when the printer is idle. 
    Is a part broken?  Is it repairable?

    CBert-
    Finally got around to trying your suggestion.  I did as you instructed. While installing Step 4, I got the Fatal Error message again.  At the end, the message was the HP Imaging Device Function wasn't installed. The description said this was basic software that makes the product work and helps in maintaining it.
    The Fatal Error message read: "Fatal error during installation. Data Error (cyclic redundancy check). I was instructed to go to HP support for more info.  I ran the event log. All but one event had this message: "The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block".  The other one had this:
    The description for Event ID 10023 from source MsiInstaller cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
    The following information was included with the event:

    the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table.

    I'm wondering if I need to bring in my tech advisor who loaded the OS or should I try downloading the installation software from the web. Or get a new printer?
    This is getting out of my pay grade.
    Thanks.

    It's called the Sudden Motion Sensor
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1935
    Summary
    Sudden Motion Sensor technology is built-in protection for the hard disk that is designed to help prevent disk issues if the computer is dropped or undergoes severe vibration.
    The Sudden Motion Sensor is designed to detect unusually strong vibrations, sudden changes in position or accelerated movement. If the computer is dropped, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads to help reduce the risk of damage to the hard drive on impact. When the Sudden Motion Sensor senses that the Apple portable's position is once again stable, it unlocks the hard drive heads, and you are up and running within seconds.

  • USB SuperDrive noises when moved

    My Apple USB SuperDrive makes loud screeching and rattling noises when I turn it while it's spinning. I do realize there is a plastic disc inside spinning at high RPMs, but a mobile drive should be designed to withstand some movement? I'm not used to hearing these noises from other slot-loading SuperDrives. Can anyone try this and either confirm or deny that I have a bad drive?

    If your hinge is defective, you can probably get it replaced if it cannot be adjusted. Just be sure to report it to Apple before your warranty expires or consider getting 3 year Applecare. It sounds like it's binding. My hinge is silent, which is what I think is normal. I have heard of hinges that seem too tight as well as of hinges that seem to be too loose. If the hinge is too tight and binding, I would worry about having to exert too much force to open and close it and possibly causing other damage. I would have Apple look at it.
    Good luck!

  • Loud clicking noise when it prints

    My printer has just started a loud clicking noise everytime the cartridges start to move it starts clicking loudly then the ink cartridges move and it prints just fine.

    I now have the same problem with my HP 1510 all in one printer, I've got Windows XP, but this just started, I've had the printer for at least 10 years without issues.  Love it.

  • Finder hangs when moving files around in Flash Drive

    Hello Apple Community! I just wanted to ask a question and a solution to my experience on OS X.
    Recently, I started to experience Finder hanging on me when I move around files from in and out my flash drive.
    What's happening in the picture was me trying to move the ebook into the 'cmpsci3' folder, but Finder hangs from the point.
    I moved the Finder window and the icon just stays there.
    There is nothing really wrong with the movement of files; the moving does work. The problem is that the small file operations
    window disappeared and Finder just hangs there.
    I tried two solutions already:
         1. Remove the com.apple.Finder.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences
         2. Repair disk permissions on both OS X drive and USB03FD (my flash drive).
    Unlucky for me, the problem isn't fixed. I tried to tackle the problem myself and sometimes I see two Finder processes running
    in the Force Quit Applications dialog. I followed the instructions from this threadTwo Instances of Finder Running, but that does
    not work either.
    I looked around and saw that making a new user would fix the problem. I would like the community's advice on how to fix this problem
    before I do anything drastic.
    Thanks for reading and helping me out!

    I decided to go the long way and move everything where I wanted it to be.  I moved everything around in Bridge, I then synchronized the folder to reflect how it should.  So far so good!
    Thank you all for your help and interest, I really appreciate everything!
    I do have one more question now, I will also start a new thread to see what else I can get, but again thank you!
    I have syncroniced the folder after making the changes, and due to the problem I was having last time I did it again just to double check.  It said there were over2k photos missing so I clicked sync, let it do its thing.  And just to tripple check I ran it again and it is saying the same thing, missing over 2k photos.  What does this mean?

  • Can the row ID number be locked when moving task around in the schedule?

    I have a schedule in which I want to move row ID 9 to row ID 5; but do NOT want the row ID of 9 to change to 5.  I want to keep original row ID's upon moving them around in my schedule.  Is this possible? If yes, how? 
    Thank you

    Are you trying to do this with a BizTalk app?  2000/2002?

  • Loud beeping noise when I turned the computer on

    2 days after bringing my new macbook home I turned it on and there was a loud, continuous beeping sound which only stopped after I turned the computer off. It hasn't happened since then but is this something to worry about?

    I have the same thing, and in addtion my keyboard and touchpad stopped working

  • Loud fan noises when using CD's to install software

    Every time I used a CD to install software or use a program, my CD-ROM drive spins a very high RPM and my fans are really loud. It sounds like the thing is going to blow. It does that the entire time I have it in there. Everything else seems to run fine. Why does it go so crazy when I put CD's in?

    When you're booted into the OS it controls the fan speed. When you're booted into a disc the disc has control and may or may not control said fan speed. It's really not a problem. Usually the temperature isn't really high in these situation. It's just that there's nothing to tell the computer to run the fans at XXspeed.
    I've booted into DiskWarrior and it's ran for quite a while at high fan speed. It's not exactly the most pleasant auditory experience but it's also not harmful, just annoying. I wouldn't worry about it.
    Hey welcome to the discussions BTW!

  • Please fix choppy screen updates when moving things

    In Adobe Illustrator, when I move an object, even a super simple object like a square with 1 fill, the movement struggles to keep up with my mouse. The movement is choppy; it stutters and lags behind my mouse. I just realized how much this behavior really irks me.
    I remember Corel DRAW being much smoother. To test I fired up my old PC and launched a five-year-old copy of Corel DRAW.
    I drew a box and then I moved it. Woah! Smooth as silk. Why is it the industry standard vector program can even match a forgotten 5-year-old program?
    I would really love it if Illustrator can catch up.

    Also I used Corel Draw, also FreeHands and each of the 7 years of work in Illustartor this recall.
      Illustartora I use because it is in the package CS, but I'm running out of nerves.
    And I remembered this commercial
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3TDmvZma84&feature=relmfu
    Somehow I do not feel special that we have the year 2012 computer with 12 cores at 3GHz and graphics card, and 5 million times faster than that of the advertisement.
    I sincerely hope that Adobe Version CS6 after the mind has gone to his head and wrote Illustartora finally over and does not add more or less nicer interfaces to the same old facade.
    Already starting to seriously look for a new tool. So the expensive adobe sentiments and habits is one thing, the freedom to choose the latter.

  • Loud distorted noise when using STP Noise Reduction

    Another very strange STP glitch.
    When using Noise Reduction, I set the noise print. Then open the Noise Reduction dialog (or HUD, I guess). The first time I play the mono audio file I'm editing, sound comes out of the left speaker at perhaps slightly reduced volume. Stop playback. Then hit the Play button again (still in the Noise Reduction dialog). Playback is now INCREDIBLY LOUD AND DISTORTED. So loud that it probably damaged my speakers (not to mention making me jump out of my chair). Thinking there was a problem with the file, I recorded some audio (again a single mono track). Same result. Deleted all the plists I could think that might be involved. No luck.
    Next, I actually went to a different computer - my G5 2.0 GHz DP. Same result, so I am completely puzzled on this one. Any ideas.
    Both machines were running STP v 2.02. The original problem was discovered on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz. Both have 4GB RAM and are running Mac OS X 10.5.1.

    APPLE!!! FIX THIS!!!!!! IT IS PHYSICALLY DAMAGING TO THE USER. COULD EASILY BLOW SOMEONE'S HEARING.
    I just went to play a preview of the file while adjusting the settings in reduce noise print WITH HEADPHONES ON! I was attempting to take out a very loud running generator in the background of an interview and nearly blew my hearing in my left ear. I threw the headphones across the room. Painful to say the least. My sound was only on the first notch and the result was louder than I can get my headphones to play with the volume all the way up.
    JamesGray, if you file a lawsuit, let me know, no joke. This is a dangerous and irresponsible game Apple is playing with their professional user's hearing, and therefore their livelihood and quality of life.
