  • Two beeps when an incoming call gets connected

    Since a couple of weeks ago I started hearing 2 beeps when an incoming call gets connected.
    I can only hear these 2 beeps when I use my headset (original iphone headset) to answer the call. I hear these 2 sounds right after I answer the call and then I can hear the person on the other side of the line.
    This does not happen for outgoing calls. The person on the other side of the line can't hear the beeps. I tried this in another iPhone and I couldn't hear the beeps either.
    Does anybody knows why?
    Please, serious answers (I'm tired of listening about the bighbrother thing)

    Hi there,
    Did you ever figure out what those beeps are?  I'm hearing them too.
    Thanks!

  • Late 2011 17 Inch MacBook Pro Not Booting, Three Beeps When I hold "C"

    my late 2011 mbp 17 inch will not boot. In safe mode with verbose it stops at the point looking for my hard drive.  Disk utility in single user mode  said the SSD has "keys out of order" and could not verify disk etc.
    However when I hold "c" aka trying to boot off my optical drive with Snow Leopard in it...it beeps three times, which after searching everyone seems convinced it's memory but I took out my upgraded memory that was in it and put the factory 4gig (2x2gb) sticks back in and it's the same exact thing...three beeps when holding "c". 
    If I hold nothing my computer shows the apple logo, the spining boot up activity icon, AND a progress bar at the bottom that get's about 1/6th of the way doing whatever it's doing and then it instantly shuts down.
    Any other ideas besides the idea that my logic board that is 1 year old randomly stopped working? It's just weird that my 9 month old SSD is not being recognized while at the same time, holding "C" to try and call my optical drive to boot I get three beeps.

    Three beeps means a RAM problem - bad RAM.

  • 3 Beep when i try to boot Snow Leopard (after memory and sad upgrade)

    Good night,
    I have a Macbook Pro Later 2011 with Yosemite installed and today i tried to upgrade memory and SSD.
    Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 (2x8) Corsair 11-11-11-30 1.35v
    SSD: Corsair 120GB Sata 3 Force GT
    After installation of my new gear, i tried to install OS X Snow Leopard through DVD and i get this 3 beep when boot start.
    So i reinstalled the original hard drive, keep the new 16gb and started correctly.
    Tried boot DVD again with the original hard drive and new 16gb but the 3 beep continues...
    Then i removed the 16gb, but still doing this 3 beep stuff when i try boot from DVD.
    I tried all combinations with new and old hardware but nothing more works...
    I have changed the slots with both, the 16gb and old 4gb.
    Could be the DVD corrupted?
    Now im running my Yosemite with the original hard drive and the new 16gb memory without any issue.
    Im already do the memory test nothing wrong appear in results
    My configuration:
    MacBook Pro (17 polegadas, Final de 2011)
    Processador 2,4 GHz Omte; Cpre i7
    Memória 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Gráficos Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    Could anyone help me plz?
    ps. sorry for my english

    The DVD's too old for that Mac. If you need to install an OS on it, connect it to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

  • I hear a beep in the background when I use Spotify on my phone.

    When listen through my earphones I hear a beep in the background.

    Hey welcome to the Spotify Community! Without any other details, my best guess is that your headphones are triggering some kind of voice command system on your phone. Does it happen randomly when your headphones are plugged in and the screen is off? Does it happen if you twist around the 3.5mm connector inside of the phone? The more details you provide the more I can try to help :)

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • K7N2G Beeps when booting for first time

    I purshased the K7N2G series motherboard, and after connecting everything when I boot it beeps for about 1 and 1/2 seconds straight then stops, then a few seconds later it does it again.  It does this until I power it off.  A few times I was able to get into the BIOS, where the only things I set were the boot order, disabled the floppy controller, and changed the FSB to 133Mhz.  But nonetheless, it did this before I got into the BIOS the first time.  I have the following items attached to it:
    AMD 2200 w/ fan(which I made sure was working correctly when I booted)
    256MB DDR333 memory(installed in slot 1)
    40GB brand new unpartitioned IBM hard drive
    HP 4x CDRW drive
    Hard drive is set as master and plugged into the middle of the cable, and cdrom is slave at the end both connected to IDE 1.  I realize this isnt the best way to have them hooked up but its only like that for convenience purposes now.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks.

  • When on a call with someone, they hear a beep and I don't. Neither of us have any alerts or messages. What is that? It's extremely frustrating.

    i have an 5c and whenever I make a call to one particular person, who owns a iphone5, they hear a beeping noise, but they don't have any messages or alerts. I don't hear this noise and I don't have any alerts or messages either. It's extremely frustrating! And I don't want to spend full retail price on a phone that is malfunctioning or to buy one that will do the same thing. Please help

    Well, you say that nobody else hears this beep, and neither do you.  It is only this one person that hears this beep on their phone.  What makes you think the problem is at your end?

  • Three beeps when booting new computer with MSI Z77A-G43 Mobo

    I just built this pc and pressed the power button. Nothing happens for a few seconds and then I hear 3 beeps from the PC speaker. It powers off by itself and opens again, with 3 beeps again, and repeats this until i press the power button to close it down forcefully.
    Board: MSI Z77A-G43
    Bios: I am not sure, but the box says Click BIOS II
    VGA:   MSI 7850 Twin Frozr III
    PSU:   Corsair Builder 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply
    CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor LGA 1155
    MEM: Corsair
    HDD: 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Black
    COOLER: CoolMaster Hyper 212 EVO
    OC: none

    3 beeps is a memory failure!
    try each stick in slot 2 individually as you may possibly have a bad stick?
    if the first suggestion doesn't work remove the CPU and check the socket as you may have a bent pin in there causing the issue?

  • Late 09 Macbook,3 beeps and no boot.

    I have the newest Macbook and every now and then when I try to boot it I get 3 beeps (and the power light blinks with the beeps) and it will not boot. All I hear is the optical drive power up but thats it. If I wait a bit (about 60-120 seconds) and power it on it works fine. If I put it to sleep (close the lid) it works fine when I open it.
    I did some reading and found that the beeps represent no working RAM. But the funny thing is, is that it will boot fine if I wait a little bit. Once I found that out I ran the Tech tool (the one that you get the with Apple Care warranty) and it tested the memory and came out just fine. I (being a PC technician) took off the bottom plate and reseated both memory modules, but the issue seems to return.
    Any ideas? I will be close to an Apple store this weekend and I might be able to stop by, but I figured I would start here first.
    Thanks

    The same thing is happening to my latest model MacBook (non pro/air) too! except I hold the power button right away and turn it back on right away and it'll work.
    What else I noticed is it hasn't happened since I help the power button down about another second. Until the light in the front is at full brightness.
    I took it in the the genius bar since I've only had this macbook for 10 days.
    They advised getting an exchange thru the retailer i bought it from (which is an online one, so i'm going to have to go some time with out my baby!) The Genius bar also said the 3 beeps could be from a failed logic board. Even though it turns on right after this may be an indication that something is wrong. So we'll see what happens from here.
    And now it's not going to be easy to convince the retailer that this item is defective when I can't get it to beep when I want =/ The apple store couldn't even recreate the beeping. Seems to do it only when it's going through a cold boot (like off over night, turn on in the morning) and even that's not always a sure thing either!
    Let's hope for the best =]

  • Takes too long to hibernate when I close the lid - Also random device noise when it boots up

    Hello guys.
    Ever since i've wiped the machine, i've been having these two problems. When I close the lid, it used to go to sleep straight away, but now I can see the sleep light (and the power button) flash and flash, then it goes to sleep.
    When waking up it goes through the lenovo startup screen and resuming windows, then it asks for a password, before I used to open the lid and it would ask me for the password straight away. I know it was going to sleep because I could hear the beep straight away when I closed and opened it, but now it just takes too long.
    Also, everytime I boot up into windows or resume into windows from a sleep state, I can hear the device noise, like something is being plugged in/out. But there is nothing being plugged in or out at the time. I can't get to device manager quick enough to see what it is that is causing it. 
    But all drivers seem okay.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sam.
    EDIT: Also noticed, when the lid is closed, randomly the laptop turns off (hear the beep) an then turns back off again.
    Weird.

  • Soft beep when BIOS detect my drives?

    Hello!
    Is it normal to hear a soft beep from a 2+ years old MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboard (latest BIOS) when it detects my two old PATA/IDE HDDs and a SATA Pioneer DVD burner drive? I am not talking about that normal PC speaker that when booting up a PC (heard that one before it). The reason why I ask is because my motherboard seems to keep losing connections to both of my old PATA/IDE HDDs since last night. :(
    Specifications: Intel Core 2 Q8200 (quad-core; default clock speeds; Socket 775 LGA) with a Scythe Andy Master 120mm CPU cooler (SCASM-1000), Enlight 7237-ATX mid-tower case; two case 80mm case fans, MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboard (latest BIOS), two 1 GB of Crucial RAM (Samsung DDR2 800 (PC2-6400; 400 MHz), onboard RealTek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC network and RealTek audio, 600 watts SeaSonic S12 PSU, ASUS TV Tuner Card 880 NTSC (cx23880), Pioneer CD/DVD Burner Black SATA Model DVR-218LBK LabelFlash Support, 3.5" disk drive, Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (ST380011A; 7200 RPM; 80 GB) HDD, an IDE Quantum Fireball Plus LM 15 GB, USB+memory card reader front panel, and an Intel InBusiness 10/100 (82559) NIC (not connected). Running Debian (Linux; kernel v2.6.32-...-686).
    Thank you in advance.

    Try to confirm if the beep is really from the board. Sometimes, it may be the mechanism from the HDD causing the problems.
    OK, I will check on it later. I haven't had HDD disconnections since my post. I did hear the audio when booting up the PC after it. It is reproducable 100%.
