High Pitched Squeal brand new MBP

So its coming out of the top right hand corner near the delete key I have read that its a bad power chip on the logic board should I just take it in?? FYI this is the Santa Rosa Platform. Oh, and I also tryed that shhmbp app and that didnt fix it but I thought that was for old mbps any ideas? this squeal is giving me head aches

no problem why not just use time machine that's what I do every time I have to ship my computer away or if they say they want to replace my computer I tell them I have a backup already so I dont have to go back to the apple store which is horrible depending on where you live because they are so tightly booked...oh and I forgot to mention with time machine you can just restore your system to how it was so nothing is lost

Bazaar high-pitched squeal/fuzz noise in iTunes when scrolling.

System info:
I'm using iTunes 6.1.3 on Windows XP Pro, and I'm wearing headphones (i don't have regular speakers).
Issue:
I noticed that if I click and hold down the scroll bars in the Library in iTunes (the scrollbars for Genre, Artist, and Album), I hear a faint high-pitched squeal or fuzz noise coming into my headphones. (If I scroll through the songs themselves, I do not get this noise. It's just the three above-mentioned scroll bars). Since it's pretty faint, I only hear it if nothing else on my computer is sending out music or noise (or only if the noise is also very quiet at the time). As far as I recall, I don't remember hearing this in conjunction with any other program.
Question:
Has anyone ever heard of such an issue? It's not really a big deal, but it does make me rather curious to know what's causing it. Try it on your own computer and let me know if you have the same issue. Could it be a sound card thing? But then why would where I click in one particular program have anything to do with it?
Example file:
If you'd like to hear what I'm talking about (Since you might be tempted to think I'm making this up), I created a wave file recording of it. (I didn't want any mp3 compression to confuse the matter, so that's why it's a wav. Not that I know much about that sort of thing... but just in case.) I uploaded it to here: http://aranel.alasse.googlepages.com/itunessqueal.wav (Sorry it's so big... 5.3 MB... Obviously because it's a .wav file. It's a little over 30 seconds long. )
Process of making example file:
I recorded it using Audacity (which is an open source program that can be downloaded from sourceforge.net). In Audacity, I set the recording/input "channel" to be "Wave Out Mix". I turned the Wave out volume and the master volume all the way up, then pushed record. (Turning the Wave volume up caused additional fuzz, so concentrate on the contrast between the sections of the recording to hear the actual sound I'm referring to.) It's a pretty quiet track, so you'll probably have to turn the volume way up.
It's a 30+ second clip. Here's how the seconds break down:
For the first five seconds, I just did nothing.
From seconds five through 10, I clicked and held down the Genre scroll bar in iTunes.
From seconds 10 through 15, I did nothing again.
From seconds 15 through 20, I clicked and held down the Artist scroll bar in iTunes.
From seconds 20 through 25, I did nothing, once again (I kept doing this so you could hear
the difference).
From seconds 25 through 30, I clicked and held down the Album scroll bar in iTunes. (Notice that this one seems to be slightly higher in pitch than the noise from the previous two scrollings I did.)
The last couple seconds, I did nothing again.
More weirdness:
Changing the volume on my computer (both the master mix, and the wave out mix, and any other mix that exists (e.g. line, microphone, CD Player, Mono out, etc.)), or even MUTING the volume of any of these mixes does not make the sound go away or change in volume at all! It's always at the same volume no matter what I do. I can only make it go away if I unplug my headphones (remember: I don't have regular speakers. If I did have those, unplugging the headphones might only change where the noise is heard.). Changing the wave out volume only affected the recording (which is why I turned it way up. If I turn the wave out volume all the way down, then push record, I still hear the noise coming from iTunes while I'm recording, but if I play the recording back, the noise is gone.
Very bazaar...
Any input anyone?
Windows XP Pro

Called Apple support, they said they do not support the use of iPods in cars, they may have sold you your car kit, but they dont support it. So buyer beware. I have three cars, I upgraded my Nano to 1.1, which is the latest, didnt fix it. I went out and tried it in all three cars, squeals in the Toyota (with Monster Cassette Adapter to Original Radio, hisses in the Nissan (with Audio 3.5 cable to audio jack to after market Sony radio), and works fine in old Mercury (with 3.5 cable to old JVC with audio jack).
So I better take care of the old Mercury.

Aperture 3 not working on brand new MBP???

Just tried to open Aperture 3 on my brand new MBP and I get this error message:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:

I downloaded A3 from the Mac Store, I've deleted it and re-installed and still get the same message. My MBP is running 10.6.8.
Any ideas, hope you can help.
Thanks!

Hi, Thanks! The solution on the Macrumors forum worked! A plugin manager issue!
I've copied the solution below for anyone else who may run into the issue.
Turns out it's a simple fix.
For those with the same problem:
1. Navigate to: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
2. Delete the PluginManager
3. Get a new copy of the PluginManager. (You can copy one from a friends macbook) or use the one hosted here: http://qvenon.com/files/PluginManager.zip
Thanks again!

Hey i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge

I tried using a friends MBP charger of the same year as my computer but it still says not charging at the top right corner of the computer screen where the charging symbol is.

I tired doing all of the suggested techniques to fix it but not luck.

High pitch squeal when turning up volume and an echo sound

X-Fi Titanium PCI-e making high pitch squeal on Windows 7 with HPET enabled

Two days ago, I tested an older Radeon 4800 to see if it still worked. Long story short, some how I screwed up my integrated sound (Realtek). I reinstalled Windows last night, and after several hours of hair pulling, still wasn't able to get it to properly play sound at all. I disabled the on board audio in the BIOS, installed my X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional PCI-e I had sitting around, and finally had sound working again (through the X-Fi). Sound was fine using the default Windows drivers, however after installing the Creative drivers, it's constantly making a very high pitched squeal. The squeal doesn't change at all, and it's constant, if I had to guess I would say it's at the very or near the very end of my audible hearing. This was the same story when I first installed the X-Fi card when I first built the computer one and half years ago, which I eventually removed a few weeks later to simplify my build and stuck with the on board audio. Back then, I figured out a way to get rid and it involved disabling the High Precision Event Timer (HPET) in the BIOS. I did the same today and it removed the squeal, but I'm wondering if there's any way of getting rid of the squeal without disabling the HPET. What confuses me is why the Windows sound driver didn't squeal but the Creative one did. Windows 7 is fully up to date, as are the drivers.

When installing the Dolby and DTS connect packages, you need to right click each and choose to install them in VISTA compatibility mode. Then they install just fine.
As far as your driver issue.........
do a search for DRIVER SWEEPER from guru3d and that will uninstall your driver and hopefully put you back to a good reinstall. Also inside your driver folder you can look for utility called CTZapp that will uninstall all traces of that driver so that you can reinstall it properly.

High pitched squeal noise and low end rumble RME Fireface 800 Macbook pro 2011

Hi there,
I just updated Mac OSX Snow Leopard and my Fireface 800 has started emitting a high pitched squealing noise when turned on and connected via Firewire 800 cable.
Also my 17" Macbook pro requested a hard reset last week for the first time, after this problem began.
When my subwoofer is connected, a low end rumble is emitted at the same time as the squeal, and persists until turned off and on again.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Robin

Kernel Panic and a strange sound on a two days brand new MBP 17" i7

I just got a brand new MBP 17" i7 two days ago. Already had two issues:
1. On the first day while the computer was doing an automatic software update I heard a loud horn type sound coming from within the machine. After that the screen turned grey with the Apple logo and a status bar underneath. After that the machine returned to the "normal" screen and keep working.
2. Yesterday while trying to set up a mighty mouse the computer gave me the kernel panic screen. I turned the computer off and then on again and everything seems fine.
I contact Apple and they gave me two options for my peace of mind:
1. Take the computer to an Apple Genius bar
2. Send the machine back to the store
I own an iMac and a Macbook and this things had never happened before. I don't think it's normal for a brand new computer to do things like that.
This incidents took place within the first two day of receiving the computer, but maybe down the road or as I start installing programs like Final Cut Studio 3 or Office for Mac, things could complicate...
What do you recommend?

Hi there.
The noise you heard and the status bar is usually the result of a firmware update being installed. Nothing to be concerned with and in fact will probably happen again if they just swap out the machine.
The kernel panic may have just been a fluke but you could try running the Apple Hardware Diagnostics that actually shipped with the machine to rule out hardware. If the tests come back ok then you could try to just re-install the OS.
Good luck.

Magic mouse lag on brand new MBP

Hello,
I received my MBP 15" (Mid 2012) several days ago. But my Magic Mouse doesn't work very well with it. The cursor lags every several minutes to one hour or two, and lasts for several seconds to several minutes every time. I don't mean that the movement is slow - when it happens, the cursor doesn't follow the movement of the mouse very well, it seems 'jittery'. The cursor may "jump" to the destination 0.3~1 second after I moving the mouse. I tried everything I can do but the problem is still not solved. Here are what I've tried:
* Setting my router to 5ghz band
* Turn the mouse off and on.
* Turn the mouse off, replace the batteries to new ones, and turn on.
* Restart the computer.
* Remove the mouse from the list of Bluetooth devices, and pair again.
* Reset PRAM and SMC.
* Disable WIFI.
* Unplug everything in my room that has a wireless receiver, including Xbox, Apple TV, etc, and remove the batteries of their controllers.
None of the above works! However, I also have a Magic Trackpad which also uses Bluetooth but it works fine. I tested the Magic Mouse on my old MacBook Pro and it works without any problem. The distance between the mouse and the laptop is less than 2ft.
Mouse still works fine on my old 2010 MBP.
Brand new MBP 15", 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM.

I had the same problem with my new Retina Macbook Pro and my Magic Mouse that worked fine on my previous 2010 Macbook Pro. At work I don't have a wifi network so I share my ethernet connection via wifi so I can get internet on my iPhone and iPad during the day. After reading this thread I tried turning off the internet sharing and it has cleared up all lag issues with the mouse.
Just thought I'd share my fix. Hopefully Apple can clear up whatever issues are causing this so I can get wifi back to my devices at work.

High Pitched Squeal CPU

I have a High Pitched squeal that is coming from my lower CPU (?)
Whenever the the "Processor Performance" is set to "Highest" it squeals and squeals and squeals. Like slow nails on a chalkboard! It's driving me nuts, to say the least.
When it switch it to "lowest" it goes away.
Perfect example. Google Maps-- I hit satellite and the squealing goes crazy when the aerial photo appears.
I've scoured the boards and found posts with same issue, but people think its a fan, when it isn't.
My question is... What is this annoying noise and what can I do?
Thanks in advance.
RJ

And it's still doing it.....
What automated task does the iphone do every hour which causes this to happen?
Have wiped the phone several times now, kept it turned off for hours, turn it back on and beeeep 10 seconds before the hour, every hour.
Does it while on charge, does it when headphones are plugged in or not, does it when all apps are closed, wifi off, bluetooth off, every single setting I can find, turned off......
Someone help, please.

How much does OSX take up on a brand new MBP HD?

Does anyone know on a Brand new MBP 128 SSD drive....how much is allocated to the OSX?
Thanks in advance

You do need to install Windows twice - once under Boot Camp and once under Parallels - but you can legally use the same CD with the same licence for both installations. There is no need to buy two copies.
There is a program called Monolingual that will assist in removing the additional language support. Be care, as it has removed the components needed to run Rosetta for some users who were not as careful as they should have been.
Parallels has to run from within OS X, but some people have had success running Windows off of an external drive. I have not tried it, but the instructions can be found HERE.

USB drive causes high-pitched squeal...

I have the K8N Neo Platinum and when I plug my Lexar 128mb USB 2.0 drive into my back ports, a high pitch squeal emits from the motherboard.
The sounds actually stops when data is being passed through it, or when the power to it stops when I opt to safely remove it in the control panel icon. Anybody know how to stop this problem?

If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 631-3811.

High pitch squealing noise

After printer sits idle for awhile there is a high pitched squealing noise. At first you don't notice it and then it becomes so annoying as a light background noise I have to turn off the printer until I need it again.

Hello Bernina,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
Typically when a printer makes any kind of unusual noise, it has to do with a power issue or a lack there of.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

High pitched squealing from SBS

Ok, I purchased a set of these speakers yesterday (Sunday) and the front 2 speakers make a very high-pitched squealing sound. It's only happened today and I've switched the left peakers around and the sound persists. I has a set of Creative 2.0 speakers and they had no issues so what's going on? The sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy SB394.

n&b,
What are the differences between the noises that the fan and the hard drive make?
Well if it's louder if you stick you ear near the vents that blow air out the back then it's probably the fan. If not HD.
You might post an audio recording of the noise.
Can you recommend a backup drive?
Well normally I'd send you here:
http://www.macsales.com/
But if your drive is dying you need to back up ASAP so go anywhere like BB:
