    Hi Aparana.rahul,
    The beeps during the startup of your MacBook Pro indicate that it may need to be serviced. See this article for further information -
    OS X Mavericks: If you hear beeps when your computer starts up
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14206
    Note that while the article title says it is for computers running Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the same information applies to other versions.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My MacBook late 2008 10.7.5 making a beeping sound at startup

    My Mac Book late 2008 10.7.5 is making a beeping sound at startup before the Apple chime.

    Hello,
    If you haven't done anything to the MacBook liek add extra memory then try the following
    Resetting PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Else try resetting SMC : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    It could be a memory problem, so try removing one memory each at a time to see if that stops the bleeping.
    If that does resolve the bleeping, then your MacBook may need replacement memory modules.
    Best of luck

  • 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

  • Continuous Beep sound on UCS c220

    Hi Guys,
    We just got a new UCS c220 server, we were deploying Esxi on it and all of a sudden it started alarming a beep sound and it is continuous, there are no logs generated either CIMC nor the led indications, what might be the possible reason, an inputs would be helpful, thnx in advance
    Regards
    Krishna

    Udupi,
    As Dan stated, it might be an issue with your RAID. In the past, I have experienced similar beeping when there was an issue with the RAID group. Except for the LSI controller, I'm not aware of any other componentt that would continuously beep on the server during operation
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/raid/configuration/guide/MegaRAID.html#wp1105151
    Table 5-3 gives a translation between the beep intervals and potential issues.
    If you can reboot and interogate the LSI OptionROM during POST, you may find what it is complaining about

  • Continuous beep sound ???

    i need to get a beep sound when a dialog box pops up and it should continue till the dialog box is closed..is there any way to do this. At present iam able to get a single beep sound.

    you can write a timer performing a beep every couple miliseconds.
    Are SURE you wanna do that? This can be quite annoying you know.

  • 23 " Cinema Display - Black Screen but power light on

    Hi all.
    Last night my 23 " Cinema Display (aluminium) went black, after I repluged the video lead back in the graphics card. The power light is on the display and if you press the button at the side the powerlight glows brighter before going off and if already off it glows brighter before coming on (but still no display). Attached the unit to a g4 powerbook and still no video and no options for the monitor in system preffs. Although you can see the usb devices.
    Any advice
    Cheers
    Steve

    Hi all.
    Quick update.
    I took the power brick to work and tried it on one of their displays and everything is ok so it's not a brick problem.

  • HT1651 after turning on my macbook the power light goes off but the apple sign on the screen continues on for a while and then the screen goes blank and the computer starts and stops repeatly

    power light goes on the immediately goes off, screen show apple  then goes black without turning onn

    You can try disabling emoticons and image previews in your IM appearance settings in your Skype options to see if that changes anything.  Some people running Windows XP have had odd graphical and resource issues with versions of Skype above 7.5.  The alternative solution would be to downgrade to Skype 7.5 for the time being.  You can find links to 7.5 in the thread below. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-7-6-crashes-on-startup/m-p/4031560/highlight/true#M353247

    Hi abgautam00.
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    If your system still boots to windows ok,
        I think it's a stuck key that's causing the beep
    Try Installing this Software test
    http://www.passmark.com/products/keytest.htm
    Run this app within Windows and without pressing any keys see if there is a stuck key as it will light up on this tool
    Let me know your findings

  • I was out of my room for an hour and when returning, my computer was making continuous beeping sound and was unresponsive.

    I am new to Apple, just bought the computer a month ago.  I extraced this from the log file.  I fear I've picked up some malware or been hacked...

    If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you in advance.  I am on an Intel iMac 10.8.1

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. That also might apply to newly bought ones inside the first 90 days.
    FWIW, IMO, the AppleCare extended plan's the cheapest insurance you can get for your new desktop machine.

  • Screen is black, no fan is running, LED lights for volume is on/off

    On a random day, I opened up laptop to use and hit the power button, everything turned on but the screen slowly went white. turned back off & then back on & still did same thing. A couple months later, tried to use it again, LED lights for volume, network, and light on front of laptop are lit, but everything else is not; screen is black, no fan running. This is only when I plug an HDMI cable from one laptop to another. Laptop was plugged into charger, when it is unplugged of hdmi, it is completely useless. Is there some way I can get the files back that i had on the laptop? my brother said a while back that it is completely shot. Id really appreciate some help & if anyone knows the fees I would have to get it fixed by HP or best buy, that'd be great! ( if it is even worth fixing, let me know.)

    If you want us to help, then tell us what kind of laptop we are discussing. What are you trying to do by running an hdmi cable from one laptop to another? It will do nothing so don't do it. You can check to see whether it is the motherboard or the screen by connecting an external monitor and see if it gets a picture on the external screen. You can get your data off by removing the hard drive and using an adapter to connect it to another computer.

    Dell Inspiron 15R (5537) suddenly wouldn't want to start. When boot up, nothing seem to appear, blank screen, no logo, no text, nothing. there is a continuous beeping, it not 2 beep or 5 beep or any number of beep, it just beep continuously, never ending, until I turn off the laptop. 
    Did some searching around on the web, forum, and so far I attempted:
    -Checked ram and hard-drive to see if it fully connect.
    -Turn off computer, unplug battery and ac power, press the power button for 30 sec.
    still haven't resolve the problem yet.
    Next, I try to do a Pre-boot System Assessment, FN+Power. Took SEVERAL attempt to finally got it to run Pre-boot System Assessment. Hold FN + Power, hear beeping, turn it off, Hold FN + Power, hear beeping, turn it off.
    Did that for about 20 times and finally got Pre-boot System Assessment instead of the beeping.

    This is the result I got from it, Currently doing the remaining memory test. It taking a long time, ill have an update once that is done, it stuck on 98%.

    This paper discusses troubleshooting steps for notebooks that are not turning on.  Typically it could be one of three issues,  No power (no power to the notebook), No post (the system has power but is not fully turning on), or No boot (the system has power, it is turning on, but it is not booting to the Operating system).
    From your post it is obvious that the notebook has power,  but it isn't fully turning on.  I would have to say that this is a No post problem. This paper will go over further troubleshooting steps to help determine the problem.
    If the notebook is not starting up or showing a blank screen:
    Remove any peripheral devices that are attached to the computer.
    Peripherals include:
    Printers
    Scanners
    Media Card Readers
    Mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets or portable digital assistants or MP3 players
    Digital cameras or video recorders
    USB storage devices
    Remove the computer from a docking station if it is in one
    Remove any CDs or DVDs in the optical drive
    Remove the AC adapter from the computer and remove the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
    Remove the computer's battery. For instructions on how to do this, consult the Online Owner's Manual.
    Press and hold the computer power button for 15 seconds.
    Insert the AC adapter plug and make sure it is seated properly.
    Plug in the AC power cord to a known good working outlet.
    Press the power button to see if the computer turns on.
    If the computer starts, turn it off and put the battery back in.
    Press the power button to see if the computer turns on.
    If the computer starts, turn it off and continue replacing peripheral components until you determine
    which one is causing the failure.
    Please let me know if this helps out.

    I did what you told me, there is power coming it, it just wont start, like i can hear the fan running, the power led is lid up, it just wont boot into anything, screen is blank and there is a continuous beeping sound, beep ... beep ... beep .. beep..  beep ... beep ... beep .. beep..  beep ... beep ... beep .. beep..  beep ... beep ... beep .. beep..  beep ... beep ... beep .. beep..  beep ... beep ... beep .. beep.. it goes on and on.
    if i keep turning it on and off, if im lucky, very rarely, it boot into the OS or into Pre-boot System Assessment. Once it boot into the window OS, i attempt to do a factory reset, but as soon as it restart it fail to continue and just beep.
    any other suggestions?

  • External Hard Drive Doesn't Appear and Makes a Beeping Sound

    I have a Mobile XXS external hard drive from Freecom (approx 460 GB) that works fine on my father's G3 iBook, but when I plug it into my G4 Aluminum Powerbook (OS 10.5) it runs, but doesn't appear on the desktop. It also makes a continuous beeping sound. I want to back up all my music projects. As far as I know the USB ports work because I'm able to use my iPod. This isn't an Apple product but the Freecom website doesn't have a very active forum. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with something like this. I appreciate any help.

    It sounds like a USB-only hard drive, and the Powerbook G4 is notorious for not providing enough power for many external USB drives.
    The usual suggestions are:
    -Try a double (Y-style) USB cable to draw power from two ports for the drive
    -Add a mains power adapter to the drive, if possible
    -Try using the drive through a powered USB hub
    Firewire drives don't seem to suffer from this problem.

  • Beep sound while connecting iphone 4s to laptop

    Beep sound are coming when I'm connecting my i phone 4s to my laptop...

    Usually when you plug your phone to your computer it will beep.
    If you're getting a continuous beeping sound that means the phone isn't charging either due to a bad cable or bad usb port.

  • IPhoto 9 plus all photos in finder are making constant fast beep sounds, flashing & frozen.  What happened

    Few days ago Mac Mail started making fast, loud, continuous beeping sounds while I was writing a long document. The Mail program started flashing, "vibrating," and froze. I had to force quit and lost that email (right - I should have saved it, but didn't).  I tried to re-create the document in Pages and the same thing happened.  Then I tried to recreate it in Word.  Same thing. (may sound nuts to just keep trying new programs, but this was an urgent document.  Figured I could get it done, then focus on fixing the problem)
    When I finally got things working again by re-starting multiple times and using Disk Utility, I evenutally opened iPhoto. After working with that program for several hours, I tried to use "share, "which creates an email with a jpeg. The same beeping and flashing started again. I had to shut down the computer. Next day everything seemed OK.  No problems for 3 days.
    Tonight I was working with several programs, all doing fine.  Then I opened iPhoto and it immediately started the fast beeping and wouldn't let me access any of my MANY photos. Had to force quit. So I tried to access photos I saved in Finder.  Every saved photo (I have hundreds in Finder) would beep and flash continuously when I clicked on it's icon, even without opening it.
    I can't find anything online about this situation. Some articles and forums talk about 3 beeps having a certain meaning. That's not what this is. It's continuous loud rhythmic beeps, flashing and I can barely shut down the program when that's going on. 
    Background: right before this started, my HD was very full and giving me warnings, so I deleted numerous file.  It's possible I could have deleted something that should NOT have been deleted. I also started in PRAM mode.  If I deleted something, I don't know how to tell what's missing. Also, iPhoto is very full and gave me warnings not to add photos. My Mac is 5 years old and running pretty fast. I installed Mountain Lion several months ago.
    Has anyone experienced this? Help!! I don't want to lose my photos!

    Running with a very full HD is very, very bad.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Then, frankly, telling us you deleted "numerous file" but don't know what you deleted, really means that we can't help.
    It's very likely that your Library is damaged from being run on an overfull disk. But you'll need at least as muh disk space again for repair it.
    So, you need to get an external HD or two, move some data off that machine to make room. You may also need to reinstall your OS as you're not sure what you have deleted. After you've got your Os working you can try fix iPhoto.
