Digital Noise then typing in TextEdit and Journler

At every keystoke I type in TextEdit and in the application Journler I can sometimes hear a quiet noise (sounds like very young bird calling for food far far away)
It is a very annoyning problem, and I have tried almost evrything to get rid of the sound - but until now without luck.
The sound doesn't disappear then I mute the speakers - and It's not a mecanical sound - but digital.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

I thought it was just me !
At least I'm not going mad
Must be something to do with the PowerBook !

  • 5th gen Nano playing songs slower and with some digital "noise"

    Recently I have notice my 5th gen Nano playing songs slowere and with digital "noise" when out speed walking with the pedometer on...anyone experience this and know what could be causing it?

    I'm also having this issue. It started on Friday. It slowed down my music towards the middle of the song and if I change the song it is OK for a bit and then it gets the digital noise and slows down again. I have no idea what is causing it. My ipod is less than a year old. I'm going to try and reset it tomorrow I think. The trouble is driving me NUTS.

    I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
    Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
    But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
    When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
    I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
    can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

    Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

  • Help. Digital noise and CPU spiking constantly.

    Hello,
    Ever since I got the latest software update I've been having serious issues. Anytime I try to play a software instrument in Logic Pro 8 or Mainstage I get hellish digital pops and clicks and the CPU spikes up constantly. An error message says there's a conflict with a third party midi driver. I've deleted every suspect midi driver I can find. I tried everything in the trouble shooting guide short of reloading Logic but nothing's worked. I've just been using the built in audio card and it worked great up till this point.
    Any ideas? Can I role back the update? I can't seem to find how to do it.
    Thanks

    Apple released a Macbook Pro firmware update yesterday.
    This firmware update appears to have fixed the large CPU spikes in Apple Logic Pro that began after the last recent Airport software update. Previously, when running Apple Logic Pro even with a small # of tracks with the Airport enabled there was digital noise and one of the CPU peaking very frequently. In order to record or play back with out these issues the only solution was to turn off the Airport. Since I installed the firmware update I have used Logic Pro extensively yesterday recording and playing back projects that previously had this issue and did not have the CPU spiking or digital artifacts.
    Thank you Apple!

  • How remove noise then ALSA opening and closing device?

    Write in terminal "alsamixer" and turn on only "Master D" and "PCM" regulators.
    Then turn down "Master D" to 0 and "PCM" to 100.
    Then open XMMS player and open some song. Now press stop or play button and did yuo hear, after stop button press, quiet noise? Especially in left head-phone.
    How make, that not be noise?

    hmmm not sure. But on my card (via8237) every driver, including that of windows, I always have to keep the main volume and PCM both below 75% (I'm using 71%). The noise just suddenly comes out when volume is above some certain figure.

  • Digital Noise - DVI Port 1 only

    Last night one of the two Viewsonic VX910 monitors connected to my G5 went dark and would flicker on for less than a second (showing the correct screen) then blink out. Called Viewsonic and it's under warranty It was in port 1 of the built in AGP card that came with the G5.
    Port 2's monitor looked good, so I plugged it into port 1. Anything black or very dark displayed lots of red digital noise - sort of like a TV tuned to a non-channel, but less so and the red noise is only against dark or black backgrounds. All other colors look fine..
    Since port 2 was still fine, I assumed the video card was fried by the monitor. I installed a new card (Radeon 9600*) but got the same exact results!
    I've run the hardware tests on the G5 from the install DVD. All passed. RAM is good, no discernible hardware failures, etc. Yet the problem persists.
    Any ideas? Could the VRAM have gotten friend or corrupted? Or perhaps I might want to reset the PMU? Guess it couldn't hurt, but I don't think that could have done it.
    Thanks in advance for any insights you might have.
    * BTW, the 9600 card would only boot in Safe Mode. It was actually fine until I installed the ATI software. DUH! But apparently, that is a known incompatibility with some G5's - as mentioned in other threads here in the Apple forums.

    In the interest of the discussions, I am posting the 'fix' for future campers with this problem.
    I changed the refresh rate from 75 to 60 hertz and the noise is gone! I don;t remember setting it there but who knows what the viewsonic monitor decided it wanted to make it;s last request...

  • My 5dmk2 is producing pink/half/digital noise jpg's

    My 5Dmk2 just went mental during a shoot, it started producing pink jpg's, and then just digital noise ones, then half normal half pink,..and then a batch of normal ones etc. I know this is not uncommon, does anyone have a definative diagnosis please?

    Just tried it, and the phots are fine in both JPG and RAW. but it stopped my shoot earlier, then was fine while i was testing it after, untill I messed with it again an hour ago, and it was all pink and 'digital white/pink' jpg's. I have a wedding in one month, I now cannot trust it not to do this during the wedding. it isnt the CF card, I tried all three of my cards at the shoot. I have shoots planned over the summer too, cant really afford to rent one for three weeks.

  • Updated: Firewire audio recording on brand new iMac makes weird digital noise

    I am running Ableton Live 8 Suite on a 2011 Entry level iMac. i am using an Maudio Firewire 410 with a FireWire 400 to 800 cable. recently when i record audio (say from a guitar) the audio will cut out and be replaced by a wierd low freq digital noise. i uploaded a clip of it. its not just static. it will come in and out as i play.
    http://cl.ly/3f3R2H2z3H3K3F3z1P3d
    Things i have tried:
    -different guitars
    -Maudio FireWire Solo (different interface)
    -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver
    -Different firewire cable
    -turned off Bluetooth on computer and Bluetooth devices
    -turned off airport
    when i restart the interface or computer it works for about 5-10mins then cuts out again...
    but i still get normal audio through it (iTunes, internet, even Ableton)
    it seems to be isolted to just audio input. i had multiple tracks playing in Live. my input was working fine but when it punched in to record it morphed to the weird digital noise.
    i could record a single channel fine with nothing else playing but recording with multiple channels playing seems to "lock up" the audio though i am only using 25% CPU...
    is this something with my iMac or Lion? i changed out interfaces, cables, and drivers....thats the only thing i can think of…
    any thoughts from you smart people out there?

    ok so i tried a differnet cable and the same thing happened...

  • HELP! Digital Noise on Converted PAL minidv.

    Hi guys
    I took my music video project to the post house in Houston Texas and had them convert a NTSC minidv to PAL minidv.
    I checked out the video and audio on there deck in PAL format and everything looked fine.
    I sent the PAL minidv off to a PAL TV network in Pakistan because that's the tape they wanted it on and they replied that the PAL minidv has a lot of digital noise.
    They claim that there decks are clean.
    Now, I have a problem!
    What should I do?
    Can someone please help?
    I have got to find a solution for this please!
    Thanks,
    Zia

    Hey Zia, it's funny how when it's all said and done - delivery is paramount. If you sent the same (acceptable) tape that you saw, then no, the ZR20 isn't the issue.
    They broadcast from a MiniDV tape? It's a very succeptible delivery format, insofar that it's the least 'robust' of the tapes.
    Were they specific with their issues? noise all over the screen, or certain areas, how did it sound?
    Lastly, and I only say this because it happened to me many years ago - Do you have any way to verify their claims? I directed a spot once, and the client (overseas) claimed it was unuseable and wouldn't pay the producer. Weeks later the producer found that the spot was just fine, and the greasy client banked on nobody on the production team ever seing the spot... Not trying to be accusatory, just covering all the bases.
    Good luck.

  • Typing in Arabic and in Hindi (Davengari)

    Hi
    I have been able to customize my computer to type in Korean and French, but I have not been able to have the Arabic and Devangari keyboard options work on my computer yet. I read in the help manuel or maybe online that these options may not work because my computer may not have neccessarily have had the fonts downloaded even though they appear as options on my computer. I have a Mac OS X 10.3.9 operating system, and was wondering if I must update to have my computer type in these languages?
    Thanks

    I have not been able to have
    the Arabic and Devangari keyboard options work on my
    computer yet. I read in the help manuel or maybe
    online that these options may not work because my
    computer may not have neccessarily have had the fonts
    downloaded even though they appear as options on my
    computer.
    The fonts required are Geeza Pro and Devanagari MT. If you have them, then you should have no trouble typing Arabic and Devanagari by activating their keyboards in system prefs/international/input menu. However you must use a modern Unicode app like TextEdit and not Appleworks or MS Office. Here are some notes:
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/TypingArabic.html
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/TypingDevanagari.html
    If you do not have those fonts, you must install them. If you have the 3 CD system installer, you can add these separately by inserting the third OS X 10.3 disk, opening the "AdditionalFonts.pkg" and running the installer. If you have an Install DVD, note the name of the installation DVD as it appears on the desktop (such as "iMac Software"), then do this: From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder. Type: "/volumes/{name of your DVD}/System/Installation/Packages". Click Go.

  • Apogee Duet & iMac digital Noise in speakers

    This has probably been discussed already but I'm gonna add my 2 cents anyway.
    Here's the setup. iMac with Apogee Duet using logic pro.
    Powered speakers connected to the Duet with balanced cables.
    60hertz noise floor problems not a factor.
    With this setup I kept getting this medium hi pitched digital noise from my
    speakers when the iMac was on and the Duet was connected to the firewire 400 port.
    If I put the iMac to sleep then I would get a low pitched kind of digital gargle.
    If I shut the iMac down I would still get the same low pitched kind of digital gargle.
    If I ran the same setup off my MacBook Pro and ran it thru the paces i got no digital
    noise of any.
    After reading some other post about this issue over the past few days I decided to
    try what others suggested even though it was hard to believe. I tried it because I
    decided shut down the iMac and unplug it just to see what would happen.
    When I did the noise went away.
    So here's the answer. I bought a three prong to two prong converter. You know
    one of the things you use to plug into a receptacle that isn't 3 prong. .75 cents.
    I then plugged the iMac into the converter which in effect eliminates the ground.
    I then plugged the iMac into the receptacle turned on the computer and you guessed
    it. "NO NOISE". no noise at all period.
    If you already knew about this then your good to go. If you didn't then there you go.
    I didn't believe it when I read it but It really does work.

    I am getting a 1 KHz whine through Behringer Truth monitors using M-Audio USB Fast Track Ultra audio/midi interface with an iMac i5 27-inch with LED monitor. The whine occurs continuously from the moment I open Logic Studio or iTunes, when the output is routed through the Fast Track Ultra. The whine does not occur when I use the imac output to imac's speakers. I also get an electronic scraping noise when I use the blue tooth connected magic mouse. I have installed ferrites on the monitor speaker wires with no reduction in the whining noise or electronic scraping noise. I have also ordered the USB with ferrite collar to see if the connection between audio/midi interface and the imac is the source of the noise. I am considering a Hum-X, as well, but I am getting into serious money taking stabs at a problem for which there ought to be plenty of competent technical support. The fact that this whine is at 1 KHz and not lower suggests that I am not suffering a typical ground loop. I am a former Pro Tools user who never had a hum or whine from my Digi and G4, which I am seriously considering recomissioning so I can make music again. I am spending way too much time and money making educated guesses and trying to diagnose a problem that all but kills the utility and purpose of this new system. I too am calling on all great engineers to step up with a diagnosis and solution.

  • Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable.  The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall.  But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again.  HELP!!!!

    I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
    It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
    But it is not there.
    So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
    But I do not know where it is to move it!
    How can I find it?
    While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
    You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
    And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.
