If you are within the free 90-day telephone support period I would just call AppleCare, and have them sort it out.
Alternatively, try booting from your install disc (but don't install!) and see if the Mini beeps when just sitting at the first install screen.
To boot from the install disc, insert the disc, shutdown, startup, and hold down the C key at the startup chime -- and keep holding it until the "gear" starts spinning on the screen.
You could also do the same, but hold down the D key, to run the hardware diagnostic tests.

High pitch whine/noise coming from 880G-E45 when PC is off

I just recently built a PC with the 880G-E45 motherboard without any major hiccups except for the fact that my PC makes high pitch whine noise (similar to a charging flash bulb on a camera) whenever it is powered off. When the PC is on and just after the PC is turned off, there is no high pitch whine at all.
From what I can tell, the noise is not coming from the CPU, but the corner of the motherboard where the 3 LED-lit RESET, CLEAR CMOS, and POWER buttons are. I eliminated all other components of the PC by only powering them one by one and whenever the 24-pin ATX power cable is plugged in, the high pitch whine noise would be made.
Is there anything I can do to silence this noise or is this normal for this motherboard? This is a problem since the PC is for my room which is very small and while i can't hear it during all the activities of the day, in the dead of night, it is loud enough to keep me awake. The only shorthand solution was to switch off the power on the PSU (BTW, will this damage my PC if I do this too much?).
Here are my specs:
-AMD Athlon Phenom II X4 840
-880G-E45
-BIOS: A7576AM3 V3.10
-Samsung 1TB sata drive
-Corsair CX430 V2 430w
-Kingston HyperX Blu 4x2GB
-Win7 x64

Quote
I'm guessing the power being output by the PSU is too much.
Nonsense, the PC will only draw as much power from the PSU as it needs, not the other way around.
Evidently, the CX430W is somehow faulty. Contact your retailer, or Corsair directly, and see if they will replace it for you.

Brand New Mini - Can't Migrate from Old

OK, Santa brought a brand new mini to replace my trusty 2007 mini. I fired it up and tried to use migration assistant to migrate from the 2007. First I tried it via network. It got to the screen where it showed the old mini as the source but then just sat there with the buzz saw spinning and 'looking for other computers'. I don't understand why it was still looking...it had found the one that it needed. So I plug my Time Machine disk into it. It gets to about the same point...shows the disk and the buzz saw and the 'looking for other computers' message. Why is it looking for other computer? I rebooted and it finally recognized the Time Machine disk and I selected what I wanted to migrate and it went on its merry way while we had dinner. I come back a couple hours later and it says 'copying system info...about a minute left' or something close. I left it there for about an hour and finally shut it down & restarted. It then went to the gray screen with the apple and the buzz saw and hung there for about an hour. I tried a few more times and then booted into the Utilities screen and am in the process of re-installng Lion. I'm not happy. Any idea what the problems were/are? I hope I can get it working after all this. Did I mention that I'm not happy?

Intermittent beeping sound from my PC internal speaker. How to disable it?

I have a HP Pavilion 1070d PC. I get an intermittent beeping sound from my PC internal speaker. It seems to engage when the hard drive starts working when it's been down for a while. How do I disable the beeping sound?

Domgoh, welcome to the forum.
Normally, the beeps that come from a computer are BIOS beep codes. They are warnings that something is wrong with the computer. At the bottom of the page in the link that I provided are codes for different motherboards. Review them to see if this is what you are receiving.

Request coming from the new window............... ?

Hi All,
Anybody please tell me how to check the request is coming from the new window.
like if I copy the following url
http://forum.java.sun.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=33
and open it in a new window then I have to check that this url is coming from the new window not from the link.
please reply soon.
Thanks

You would have to make the link use javascript to use a Form with a method of POST to add a parameter to the request and submit the form.
You would have to use POST to hide the fact that you are using a parameter, otherwise the user could just copy the address with the parameter into a new window.
So this would work in two ways:
1) You could have a request.getParameter. If it is NULL then the user copy and pasted the link. If it is non-null then the link was clicked on.
2) This will also force the clicked link to go to your servlet's doPost method and direct navigation to go to the servlet's doGet method.

I found out that I have 2 female ends, my question is where can I find the adapter with 2 male connectors? and what about power supply to monitor?

Want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

want to sync music from brand new computer as old one was damanged. says all my songs will be deleted. solution, please?

Do you have all of your content in that computer's iTunes library ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
And if you have music on your device that wasn't purchased from iTunes and you don't have a copy of it on your new computer's iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back (iTunes will only copy iTunes downloads back from a device) : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

Will the Airport from the new mini work in the old mini.

I have a MacMini (Intel 2008 model) and I don't use the Airport in it. I want to remove the Airport in that mini and install it in my old MacMini (PPC 2006 model) which doesn't have Airport right now it has a usb wireless stick. I gave that old mini to my mother and she keeps forgetting that the sick is for her internet and removing it. it will also free up that usb port since right now there is no free usb port. Will the Airport from the new mini work in the old mini. I'm not afraid opening them I already installed ram myself in both.

I assume the old PPC you have is a Mac Mini 1.42GHZ or 1.5GHZ G4 from 2005/2006, which should have shipped with AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR pre-installed. What happened to it?
Anyway, both Mac mini models support Airport Extreme cards, but looking at the repair guides from ifixit.com, the Airport extreme cards look to be different in size.
Mac Mini G4:

Error message: Volume "Macintosh HD is full" on brand new mini

Hi,
Just installed Logic X on a brand new Mini 2.6Ghz, 256 ss HD, 16 gigs Ram. This is a dedicated machine for music so there is really no other major programs installed. I have almost 200 gigs of free HD space. I am using 2 interfaces as an agregate device for a total of 20 i/o. One is a MOTU 896MK3 and the other is an Audiofire Echo which is the master clock. The connection is Firewire 400 and I'm recording at 44.1 to the same internal HD. I also optimized my computer settings by turning off indexing and time machine.
On this project I have about 12 tracks of live drums enabled which I can record with no problem but when I try to play the tracks back after about 30 seconds in it stops and I get this error message: Volume "Macintosh HD is full" . The session has no software instruments at this time and I have no plugins on the tracks yet. When I look at my CPU load it's very low as would be expected and I have a ton of HD space. This computer is literally 2 days old. I am monitoring the individual tracks back through the interfaces into the returns on my analog mixer channels. I should also say that I had similar issues trying to run this setup on an older macbook pro which had a lot of software installed on it and is not a robust, I thought that upgrading to a newer faster machine would be the way to go. I am suspecting that my agregate interface setup could be a week link but getting an HD error message doesn't make any sense to me. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Please read this thread...
http://superuser.com/questions/682465/mac-hard-drive-full-message-when-its-not
Its normally caused by a disk data problem ..... and the solution in this thread usually fixes it...
if this doesnt fix it.. try rebuilding your Spotlight indexes.... as Spotlight is what Logic uses to track everything on disk.... so it could be a corrected index that is at the root of your problem.

High pitched sound emitting from brand new HDD?

Part 2 of my HDD woes.
I received my repaired laptop with a brand new HDD today on my MBP 4,1. This time around the brand is Toshiba, my last one was Hitachi and the one before that, I can't really remember. But the point is, with the last two hard drives I've had I've NEVER heard anything like this.
The hard drive is emitting an extremely loud, and annoying high pitch sound. At first, I thought it was my laptop when it was plugged in - unplugged it and lo and behold it's the hard drive. I put the computer to sleep, the sounds stops. When I open my laptop, that is how you can for sure tell it's the drive because the sound starts up with the hard drive. I actually have a headache from it, it is SO awful.
I'm extremely upset, this is my third hard drive in less than three years. I just wanted to know if anyone else experiences this, because I don't think this sound is ok at all. Is this typical of Toshiba HDD (250 GB)? I'm really hoping to read that someone else had this problem and that they replaced the drive for them. It's getting to be absolutely ridiculous, especially being in a professional program where I rely on my laptop everyday.
Advice would be wonderful, I'm sure this will mean I need to go back to the Apple Store again tomorrow.

Yep, called Apple Support this morning and I spoke with the Senior Advisor and he was very disappointed for me and was extremely apologetic that I will have to take the laptop back and get a new HDD. He assured me that they will give me a new HDD - again. Just frustrating because I already took the time to (2.5 hours!) to transfer all of my data from Time Machine to the new HDD.

High Pitched intermittent tone from 2008 Imac

Hi all,
Am looking for some help. I have a 2008 imac which is making a very annoying high pitched tone intermittently. when the tone 8 sounds, 8 times out of 10 the program I am running or working in hangs. Has anybody else had this issue - I saw in a search that some others have mentioned this or something similar but no resolutions had been found.
Appreciate any help.

Try just running one application like iMovie and see if tone comes back. Does this sound like a fan by chance?
Turn Time Machine off and see if the tones come back. System Preferences/Time Machine.
Also, open the Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) select the CPU tab. If the tone comes back, keep an eye on the CPU. Might be a specific process you can quit.
Is this iMac still under the one year limited warranty by chance?
