Diskdrive buzzes when computer starts

When I start up my macbook, the disk drive makes an awful rattling/buzzing sound as if it is trying to start up a disk. ( Which I do not believe exists in the drive)

No one is going to know this problem like that on here. You need to take it to a shop and have them see if first hand to know what might be the cause.

  • Can Lion be set so iCal will open and display calendar when computer starts

    I have Lion and the new iCal on a MacBook Air purchased a few weeks ago.  I set iCal as one of the applications that opens when I login in the Users & Groups in System Preferences.  So iCal opens when I start the computer (automatic login to the single user I have set up) but it doesn't open the calendar page.  I would like to have the calendar page open up when I start up the computer without having a lot of other applications and windows open as well.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Rysz - thanks that was the problem - I missed that Hide was checked.

  • Problem when computer starts

    when i start my computer , i see an error message ie "cannot find script file " and it gives the location of the file which is C/users/hanumanji/appdata/ roaming/adobe32/invis.vbs

    Yes, that suspected malware (invis.vbs) is already gone from your computer; that's why you get that error during startup.
    There are several ways programs can be called during the startup.  If you don't know which method is used to call that file, use a program like CCleaner to delete startup items.  There are a number of other programs that can do the same.

  • Buzzing sound when computer starts or wakes up

    Hi Guys,
    completed my first build a couple weeks ago and everything going well so far. 
    There is a small annoyance however.  Whenever the computer boots up or wakes up, there is a static sound coming from my speakers plugged into the case headphones ...

    You can make your own recovery media, it wont be the same as the original from MSI, but all you would need to do is download the drivers and utilities.

  • How does one get huey pro to start up when computer starts in morning

    Huey Pro is a sensor that measures and monitors the light in the room so that colors are rendered as acccurately as possible.  Once I calibrated the screen and device, it should fire up when I restart the computer but it dos not.  the icon in the system folder when clicked, says that the system preference folder needs to restart, the it will fire up. 
    So How does one get this to start early.
    Robert

    Hi Robert
    I am not sure that you can make the Huey Pro work correctly.Worked fine on windows but it was the one programme for me that I have never had success with on the Mac.
    I have checked the Huey web site for info but the support seems to have stopped.
    So the only way I can do it is to wait until the Icon is in the top right section of the screen,note that a white cross is in it and then click on the Icon in the dock open up the programme until the Start bit occurs then just click the close button.That fixes it for me.

  • 85W Power supply buzzing when computer in sleep?

    Hi all,
    I just received my Early 2011 15" MBP 2.0 last week and I have noticed that the power supply emits a high-pitched buzzing/whining noise when the laptop is in sleep mode and the battery is full.
    I took it into an Apple Store today and they couldn't recreate the buzzing, as I think the computer's battery wasn't full.  The guy at the Genius Bar said it was probably dirty AC power.  Does this make sense?  Has anyone else had this symptom?  Thanks.

    Hi k,
    I believe that's possible. One way to check it out is to try and recreate it at another location. If you cannot, that would lean toward the "dirty power" side. If you can, then the second location would also have to have the same issue, which is certainly possible, but not probable. At that point, I'd go back to the Apple Store and see if the issue can be demonstrated on the Apple Store's power.

  • IPhoto 6 launching when computer starts

    Hi, it seems out of the blue that my iPhoto 6 program is launching automatically as soon as my computer is finished starting up. Is there any way I can keep the program from opening automatically?
    Take Care,
    Jess

    Jess,
    Unless you have a camera or a card reader with a card in it connected to your computer at all times, you might want to see if iPhoto was accidentally set to open at login. If it's in your Dock, hold down on the iPhoto icon to get a menu. If "Open at Login" has a check mark in it, then you need to select that item again to remove the check mark.
    Alternatively, in System Preferences, go to Accounts, click on your account, and then the Login Items tab. If iPhoto is listed there, select it, and click the minus to remove it from the list.

  • Broadband not connected when computer starts up-re...

    Hi - I would really appreciate some advice.....
    I have just changed my computer, which now has Windows 7.  I have connected my BT Hub 1.5 up fine and the internet is connected, however, every time I turn on the computer it doesn't recognise the connection (even though all the lights on the Hub are green), and only does so after I re-boot my BT Hub.
    I'm connected ok once I have re-booted the Hub, but I am frustrated as I don't want to have to keep re-booting my BT Hub every time I switch my computer on.  I never had this problem with my old computer (was running Windows XP), so can't understand why this is happening with this one?
    Would appreicate any thoughts/advice on how to solve this!
    Many thanks

    the recommendation on the forum is not to run the cd but to use it as a coaster, bird scarer, frisbee - you get the idea.  If it was me I would uninstal it and then let windows 7  wireless manager connect for you - it's more than capable

  • 10.7.4 "boken folder" icon with kernel panic when computer starts

    Using iMovie and got a (-50) error and ran Disk Utilities to see if everything was okay. Unfortunatly it wasn't and recomended that I hold down the command and r key while doing a restart. When I do this, the Apple logo comes up, but then switches to an icon of a circle with a diagonal line through it and then I get a kernel panic shortly after. Any ideas how my App Store purchesed lion can run disk utilities in protected mode?

    Your hard drive has probably failed. What backups do you have?

  • My display starts "buzzing" when I increase brightness.

    My display starts "buzzing" when I increase brightness, but gets lower decreasing lights. It seems to be originated in the left down corner on the back side.
    It sounds like an electrical short circuit. Shall be needed assistance?

    Actually, Apple says to use the Disk Utility program on the installed system to "Repair Permissions" as the program uses a database that is updated to the proper settings for the version of 10.6 that you are using.
    The original DVD may have 10.6.0 on it but the computer may be running 10.6.2
    The original DVD doesn't have any changes in the permissions that Apple has included with updates.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
    There is also an Apple document that says that just about every warning you see in the window while doing the repairs should be ignored. I just uncheck the details box and wait for the "Permissions Repair Complete" statement to appear.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    I don't know if a permissions issue is causing the video settings issue, but it can't hurt to run the program.
    Zapping The Pram is also a powerful reset mechanism you can try.

  • When I start my computer my dock will not show up. help!!!!

    When I start my computer only the galaxy screen shot comes up. My dock won't appear or anything else. Just an empty screen.
    I have been able to get onto safari because my screen saver will eventually appear and because it's on shuffle sometimes the apple screen saver that says facts and new releases about apple products usually writes, to learn more press 3. one day I pressed 3 and it took me to safari.
    I was able to discover all my pictures and music is still intact but I only know that because I look at screen savers and one of the options is shuffle pictures and so I knew my pictures were on my hard drive.
    I just can't pull them up, or my itunes because i have no dock.
    Help!!!! This happened one day when I was watching a dvd on a plane. I had it on pause then all of a sudden my computer just went blank.
    I already bought a new macbook pro but would really love for this computer to be fixed. I will take it in if I have to but through reading other discussions think I may be able to do it.
    I have seen the "killall dock" command suggested but am seriously computer illiterate and have NO idea how to do that.
    please help!
    Thanks!!!!

    You would need to open your utilities folder and click on and open "terminal", type that command without the quotes and hit the enter/return key.
