HDD has noise like "DADADA"

sometimes MAC mini has noise and sounds like da da da. HDD gets trouble?

If the Mac mini is covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan you can take it to an Apple Store or contact AppleCare. If it's out of warranty you will either need to replace the HDD yourself (which is not an easy procedure on a Mac mini) or find an Authorized Apple Reseller in your area that repairs out-of-warranty Macs.

DOES ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH A FAN NOISE LIKE A METAL BEARING

I want to know if there is a problem with some of you that have a 20 inch early Imac I got this imac last june and now I begin to hear a hizzing noise like if it was a fan bearing or something.

The drive is in the area where the vent grill is above the plug. There is a very low level disk "activation" noise (sort of a faint ticking type of sound) whilst it is working but then stops, where as the fans again very low noise can be heard all of the time - just. I sit about 650 to 700mm from the machine.
The drive is only a manmade item and occasionally one will start to fail early in life. Today is unlike the old days where a vari-speed floppy drive could need changing every month if worked in a commercial environment and a hard drive wasn't much better.

Picture has noise after export to JPEG

Hey guys,
I am using Lightroom 5.2 64bit version on my windows. After I export my raw in to the jpeg it has noise. But in the develop module it hasn´t. Also it has got a little bit noise in the library, but it´s the same picture. Where is the sense?
Here are some pictures of that problem:
1. The finally edited raw picture which I want to export.
2. The view from the library, you can see a little bit difference on the quality compared to the view from the develop module.
3. The jpeg after the export.
4. My export settings.
I don´t know what to do! I´ve googled a lot but nothing found.
Please help me and post any ideas.
Lovely regards

I have the same problem (OS X). Exporting to jpeg results in poor quality. This is a problem I didn't had with previous versions.
I took a look at the other threads which are mentioned here and effectively, the 1:1 view looks exactly like the jpeg export.
But this would be like looking at a 5x6 meter poster from two inches distance, which makes no sense. If you look from a 1 meter distance,
it is logic that you will see a bit less noise, things will look smoother.
This really is an issue. I always had an export and a print that looked exactly like how I saw it in 'fit' view in develop screen in previous versions.
It is completely stupid to be obliged to work in 1:1 mode for developing photos as this is the only option from what I read.
The image ont the left is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a jpeg export, 72 dpi, 1288px large side.
The image on the right is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from de the dev screen in LR, 'fit' view mode, 72dpi 1288px large side.
Both have a different size here because I didn't draw the same sized rectangles when taking the screen shot.
As you can see, there is a lot of noise that I don't see in the dev screen. The screenshot on the right is almost exactly what I see, except that it is a bit less sharper
due to jpeg compression, but it still is a better result than the compression of Lr itself. Should I process like this now instead of using export????
I loose sharpness but it has an overall neater look. The jpeg export is really crappy!
I did used a tiny bit of noise reduction and sharpening (23 - 22 respectively) and this has been shot at ISO 800, 5D miii.
The crop applied in Lr is maybe 8-10% so really not much. I avoid cropping as much as possible.
I updated to 5.3 and issue is resolved for me

Fan noise like a hair dryer at full blast

Hi there,
I have had this IMac G5 (1.8G) since beginning of 2005, every time I go to a web site which has flash - my IMac fan goes on very loud noise like a hair dryer at full blast.
Does anyone know what the problem is? and how do i fix it?
Thank you for your help,

How much RAM do you have? Did you check the Apple extended warranty that I mentio0ned in the other thread?

Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

Well, I'm not sure how anything can fit into a 5 mm depth, so I can see why they've removed the CD drive - there probably wouldn't be enough room for the laser, LOL. Can't imagine speakers, hard drive (of any flavor), logic board and so on and so forth. Fortunately, my iMac has Applecare through early 2015 so I'm set for a while; I may check out a Mini at that point - saw that it is configurable with a fusion drive, which would make it interesting for me.

Did my HD just crash and unrecoverable? Time to replace my notebook?

I believe your hard drive has failed. Hope you have a backup.

My HDD has failed. How do you re-install OS X to a new drive?

When trying to install Mountian Lion, I discovered that my HDD has failed. I can boot into my Windows partion but not into OS X. I am fine with installing a new HDD myself but how do I get OS X back onto it?

Well, you have no choice but to find your original Disks, there are two: An Install Disk & an Applications Disk. If you can't find them, you'll have to call AppleCare to get replacements.
If you had a clone of your system, this would be easy, so next time keep a bootable clone handy. When you get your original disks, you can then use disk utility to format the drive, then reinstall SL, update to 10.6.8, then redownload Lion. Once you download Lion, make a USB install stick BEFORE you upgrade to Lion. That way, you're covered if something like this happens again.

When I try to open iTunes app on iPhone 5, it starts to open then closes straight away, I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 and it has been like this since I upgraded!

I also had this problem. Go to settings> itunes & app store, tap on your apple ID and sign out. Then open itunes store. It should now open.
Then sign back in again and the problem should be resolved

Preview takes forever to open, much slower than on my old MacBook. It has been like this since I bought the computer last January. Why is Lion so much slower?

Take it to an Apple Store for testing. If you don't get immediate satisfaction, exchange it for another one, which you can do at no cost, no questions asked, within 14 days of delivery.

My External HDD has disappeared and won't mount

Hi Folks, I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have an Iomega external HD that Super duper backs up to, however I have had failed backup attempts and now it won't appear on the desktop. Before this happened I had to force eject it, so that I could reboot and plug back in to USB 2 to see if I could make the backup work but what has happened now is that it will not appear on my desktop, or in Finder. It has caused my iMac to keep re-starting, so I have disconnected it now.
This is the report that I got as to why it has caused the iMac to keep re-starting but I am unsure of what it means. I wonder if anyone could enlighten me. Do you think this HDD has gone bad??

Mac Book Pro with a separate apple keyboard (wired) randomly the keyboard will make a thudding noise like a key is depressed and then freezes

Hi I'm using a Mac Book Pro with a separate apple keyboard (wired). Randomly the keyboard will make a thudding noise like a key is depressed and stuck (which it isn't) which then stops when the keyboard is unplugged. I've tried rebooting, plugging it into another port and unplugging my mouse from it and it hasn't solved the issue. I also can't pin point when it does it, it seems to be random so sometimes, like now it's fine and then others it does it every few minutes. I'm reluctant to throw the keyboard out if there is a chance it can be fixed. Any ideas?

You cannot use any additional devices on the keyboard's USB ports when used in this fashion (except perhaps ONE low power Apple mouse). Anything more draws too much power and may make the keyboard malfunction. In general, keyboards do not tend to complain about low power, they just stop working properly.

When turning on my mac book pro it displays a screen with apple logo and begins loading a loading bar, after this continues to show loading circle however has been like this all day still no different. Tried turning it on and off however still same!

I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????

If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?
