Hi folks! My MacBook Air is making awkward little chipping sound... For no apparent reason. My Macbook Pro does the same. Goes like "chip... chip... chip", always three times in a row, for no apparent reason. Does anyone know how this occurs? Thanks

It seems to be linked to the sound being on. When I mute the thing, it doesn't do it. When I plug headphones into it, it does it over the headphones.
Thanks for your help!

  • I need to change my apple ID because I'm changing my email address. I'm worried that when I do, I'll no longer be able to use my first generation apple tv unless I change the apple ID there as well.  Does anyone know how this works??

    I have to change my apple ID because I'm changing my email address. (I have a Comcast address and am switching to U-verse) I'm worried that when I do, I'll no longer be able to use my first generation apple tv unless I change the apple ID there as well. I'm also trying to find out if changing my apple ID is going to interfere with getting my itunes content on my computer and my iphone.  Does anyone know how this works??

    My iTunes appleID is an old defunct e-mail address - it does not have to be functional.
    Do what Winston says to ensure you keep getting correspondence related to that ID.

    Buy a new drive and replace the old one. While the old one is still working (if it is) I would quickly make a bootable backup to an external drive if you have one, assuming you have no extant backup.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    You will find suitable replacement drives at OWC.
    They may also have a video tutorial. Or you may find a written tutorial at ifixit.com. Also may find one by Googling for it.

  • Hi i have a LG 3D SMART TV that i was runing nero home media 4 from my old windows laptop, this software wont now run from my macbook pro, does anyone know if a program is available i can use preferably for free

    HI i recently purchased a macbook pro to replace my old laptop running windows.
    the problem i have is i have a LG SMART 3D TV which i was running nero media home 4 on from my old laptop, i have tried to install this program on my macbook but is it not compatible.
    does anyone know which program is available to run from my apple product to smart tv in a similar way..... preferable free
    regards

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    My wife and I have I Phones.  Today for some reason all of my contacts appeared on my wife's phone.  What would cause this? 

    This could happen if you are both syncing to the same contact source, such as with the same iCloud account, or to the same supported program on your computer (e.g., Outlook).

  • My phone was Hacked by removing my SIM card for no longer than 30 minutes while I was away form my phone and everything I have ever done and even deleted was downloaded. Does anyone know how this is possible?

    Everything I have ever done on my iPhone 4 was downloaded and copied. EVERYTHING! ALL deleted Pictures, texts and emails that had ever gone through my phone were retrieved. My phone was hacked and everything taken. I was told there is a SIM card reader that can do this. I don't even know how I could retirenve this imformation when I don't even have a back-up. If anyone has had an experience like this please tell me. I am completely violated.

  • TS1388 My battery on my macbook pro all of a sudden keeps using the battery power really quickly, so I am having to rechareg it constantly.  Does anyone know why this occurs or how to fix it.  I have used all the energy saving tips.

    Hi My battery on my macbook pro keeps running low on power very quickly and I have to keep recharging it.  This has never happened before. I have used all the power saver options, but it keeps happening.  Can anyone help. The battery seems to be losing power even when it is turned off.

    Hi BigThinker,
    How old is your Mac? If it is an older one, then the battery may just be dying. You can check by clicking on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then clicking on About This Mac>More Info>System Report, then click on Power (about half way down the list). At the top of the resulting display, you should see the following type of info:
    The Health Information will tell you if your battery is going to need replacement soon. If it says Normal, then it is not the battery.

  • HT3702 I am currently being billed a monthly charge from iTunes for Pandora ($3.99) but would like to switch to the annual billing rate of $36. Does anyone know how this is done?  Thanks for your help.

    I am currently being billed a monthly charge from iTunes for my Pandora subscription ($3.99/mo) but would like to change to the annual rate offered by Pandora which is $36.  I don't see where that change can be made through the iTunes Store.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • TS3276 After I started using MAIL in my Iphone, I could no longer receive or send e-mails in MAIL on my MacBook. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I have checked all of the things E-mail troubleshooting has told me...It simply isn't working on my computer as a result of putting my e-mails on my Iphone...I'd like to know how to receive the e-mails in both places, whether I open them or not, and also how to send from both places (whichever I'd like) Please help!!

    Email provider is?
    POP3 or IMAP?
    If POP3, is email configured to remain on the server?
    You need to provide more info.

    HI,
    You may be able to do this with Grapher which is in your /Applications/Utilities folder.
    Otherwise, web design software such as Adobe's Creative Suite seen here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/?promoid=DNOWM
    Apple may have used Keynote for this which is part of the iWork suite of software. It's primarily used for creating presentations but can be integrated into a website. http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#keynote

  • My iPhone 3GS has dead spots on the left side of the screen, does anyone know how this problem has started or how I can fix this?

    Over the past couple of months, my iPhone 3GS has had dead spots on the left side of the screen, preventing me from using the r, d and x keys, the number 4 and the semi colon and comma keys. Does anybody have any ideas on why this has happened or any ideas that I'll be able to fix this problem?
    Just a note; I can't put my phone to sleep or turn off as my lock button isn't working, so I'm using the AssistiveTouch settings.
    Thanks.

    This has no impact on the ability to purchase a new iPhone... it simply means that the newer one will not be at a fully subsidized price.
    You could always take it to Apple and do an Out of Warranty exchange (I'm assuming the device is out of warranty) for $149 US.
