Imac 27 Buzzing while sleeping or shutdown...

Hi evreybody and first of all sorry for my English...
Here's my problem : When my Imac 27 ( 2011 version ) is shutdown or sleeping there a buzzing "electrical" sound ( like an high tension cable ) behind the screen.
I've read a lot of posts abour this problem and even found some video with the same sound.
Do you think I have to return my Imac to the Apple center near me?
Do you think it's a power supply issue?
Thanks for your precious help!!!

Hello & welcome to the forums... your english great by the way, better than many that only speak English!
Do you have any USB or Firewire devices attached?
Could you have a Ground loop somewhere?

  • IMac power draw while sleeping?

    My macbook used to draw 1-2 watts while asleep. My iMac us drawing 11-17. This seems a bit high. Even an older PC desktop I had would only draw 3-4 (dual core, beefy vid card, multiple HDD's, etc).
    I'm wondering what others experience when their iMac is sleeping. Even though mine is a 24", I'd be happy to hear from anyone with an alu iMac. I'd also like to hear any suggestions for things to look at as possible energy draws while sleeping.
    Thanks

    Very strange.
    If you go to this page: http://www.apple.com/environment/resources/specs.html
    and then click on Environmental attributes listing you will see that specified power draw whilst asleep is approximately 2.4 watts.
    If you have MEASURED the power draw at 11-17 watts during sleep mode, I would take it into your local Apple Store.

  • IMac turns off while sleeping

    My iMac sometimes turns off during sleep mode, I did call apple care and went through utilities and the tech support said that issue should be resolved, but it happen again today. Has anyone else had the same issues? Is this also the start of some bigger issues down the line?
    Thanks,
    BC

    HI BC,
    Check System Preferences/Energy Saver. Click the Schedule button bottom right in that pane and make sure it's not set to turn off at a certain time.
    According to this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 Make sure your software is up to date.

  • My IMAC screen went to sleep and I have it set to enter a password upon waking it up. However, my bluetooth keyboard died while it was asleep and I replaced the batteries and tried to enter my password and it is not picking up my keyboard. What can I do?

    My IMAC screen went to sleep and I have it set to enter a password upon waking it up. However, my bluetooth keyboard died while it was asleep and I replaced the batteries and tried to enter my password and it is not picking up my keyboard. What can I do? I will not let me enter my password to get in and trouble shoot the keyboard. Please Help!!

    I pushed in the button on the top right corner. It turns a green light on and then it goes off. I held it in until it started blinking. It blinks for a bit and then the green light turns off. I am still not able to type my password. What should I do now?

    I'm very far from being expert at reading crash reports, but I don't think this is a kernel panic. I'm not seeing any signs of a KP in the logs. The following is basically some guesswork on my part and I might be completely wrong, but it may be worth thinking about.
    In your crash report I'm seeing the process which seems to be responsible for the crash is BroadJump/Client Foundation/CFD
    Process: CFD 196
    Path: /Users/judybarnett/Library/Application Support/BroadJump/Client Foundation/CFD
    Identifier: CFD
    Version: ??? (34766848)
    Code Type: PPC (Translated)
    Here is what I've found from searching BroadJump/Client Foundation/CFD.
    +5. BROADJUMP CLIENT FOUNDATION: During your use or installation of+
    +the overall Licensed Software, the BroadJump Client Foundation+
    +("CFD.exe") may be installed on your computer. The BroadJump Client+
    +Foundation is a small application that facilitates communications+
    +between the client software on your computer and your IAP's servers+
    +that manage these applications. The BroadJump Client Foundation+
    +periodically queries BroadJump or your IAP's servers for one or more+
    +of the following reasons (a) to upload the subscriber registration+
    +information that is collected at installation, or (b) to check for+
    +available updates to your broadband access and support software or+
    +messages from your IAP, or (c) for authentication to your IAP's servers for certain application communications.+
    This is apparently some kind of software installed -- or which was possibly installed at some time in the past -- by your ISP (or possibly a former ISP.)

    Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
    The above means this is caused by "the thread trying to write to read only memory," and is always caused by an attempt to access some data. I'm also seeing that it was running under Rosetta, which is a translator for PPC Applications so they can be run under Intel, which is what your computer is now. My hypothesis, then, is that BroadJump/Client Foundation/CFD might be something you migrated from another PPC Mac when you got your current one, and it, or running it under Rosetta, may be making things unstable. You said this has been happening off and on since you got the new Mac. So, the question is did you use Migration Assistant to move things over from another computer and was that a PPC Mac? If not, that probably blows my theory completely out of the water. However, I would still want to understand what BroadJump is doing on your computer and why it is running under Rosetta.
    If yes, my first instinct would be to uninstall BroadJump. But first, I would contact your ISP and ask them if it is a necessary part of the functioning of your Internet service. If so, there may be an Intel version they can supply or they can recommend a proper course of action.

  • G4 MacMini won't sleep or shutdown after update to 10.4.8

    Since updating using software update to 10.4.8 on the logout screen I mostly used the "Sleep" option after logging out from my account. To begin with things seemed fine, but now, it won't go to sleep. If I click on the button to sleep the computer, the controls get greyed out for about 30 seconds to a minute, then return to their normal state - but the computer does not enter sleep mode.
    Shutdown doesn't work either! I had to hold the power switch on the back down for a few seconds to force it to switch off. Interestingly, the internet connection light on the router was flashing irregularly while I was waiting for it to switch off.
    I have reset the permissions (only after the install, not before), reset the PRAM, and searched the system preferences to see if something is glaringly obvious as being wrong but have found nothing and no have no further clue what I can do...
    Is it related to my not wanting iTunes to provide Album Artwork at all? For some time, every time I opened iTunes it demanded I update my Album Artwork, but I don't want to and don't have an iTunes account. I had put off downloading both 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0 for almost a week - until software update failed to provide a Cancel button for me to refuse again!
    How can I get sleep and shutdown to work properly?
    MacMini, PowerBook, PowerMac G5 DC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Mac OS X Server 10.4.8

    Problem Solved!
    I copied the combo update over the existing system but this alone changed nothing. Because I was unsure of which of my seemingly many OS X disks to load I rang Applecare (thank God I signed up for the three years of extra phone support - a real bargain) and they suggested I do a PMU reset - after which everything worked fine - so far.
    They warned me about not doing a PMU reset very often (I guess the PMU can only stand a certain number of these events before breaking). In order to do one follow these steps:
    1) Switch off computer;
    2) Unplug ALL leads and power cables to the computer;
    3) Wait ten seconds;
    4) Simultaneously hold the power on button down while plugging the power cable in to your Mac;
    5) Connect your other cables.
    6) Switch on and go.
    For me, this fixed all my other problems - Sleep, Restart, Shutdown, Printing, iSight, Internet connection speed, Quick Time performance, and so far I haven't seen anything else wrong to fix. Hopefully there won't be anything else to fix!
    If anything does go wrong after this, I will do the Archive and Install, which was the next suggestion from Apple which I did not need to do. So far.
    Thanks to all those who gave suggestions, I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Mac

  • Which is better... Sleep or shutdown?

    Which is better for your computer... sleep or shutdown?
    Thanks

    Technically, it doesn´t matter much if you shut your computer down or just put it to sleep., i.e. nothing is more detrimental to your computer´s "well-being" than the other, respectively.
    I´m not sure about the Sleep Mode with the iMac, but I believe it´s a suspend-to-ram, right?
    That would mean any unsaved data isn´t saved and could get lost if the computer fails to wake up from sleep.
    That could be a point against making the computer sleep.
    When it´s sleeping, the computer will also consume a steady, albeit very low quantity of electrical power. From an energy-saving standpoint, that could also be counted as a negative aspect.
    MacBooks and MBPs use suspend-to-disk as sleep mode, which means the contents of the ram is saved onto the hard drive and then the computer is fully turned off. Takes a bit longer than suspend-to-ram.
    I always put my computers to sleep... both my iBook G3 and my Win laptop.
    My win laptop will automatically enter suspend-to-disk after 2 hours if it isn´t used again by then.

  • IMac speaker buzz... ?

    Hi all,
    I apologize if this is a common issue; I've done some searching but haven't found anyone with my exact problem.
    I've got a fairly old (I believe at least ten years) pair of Bose Roommate II speakers and a brand new (arrived yesterday) aluminum iMac. When I plug the speakers into the iMac, they buzz for exactly 30 seconds and then stop. Any time I play any kind of audio (including the sound effects in the OS like the feedback when you change the volume), they buzz for 30 seconds and then stop, as long as I don't play anything else. They buzz continuously if I'm listening to music or anything like that. It doesn't change volume if I change the output volume on the computer.
    The speakers work flawlessly with my 2.16GHz MacBook and with both my iPods, so the speakers definitely aren't at fault here. The plug is seated firmly in the headphone jack. The fact that the time is so exact - 30 seconds on the dot - makes it seem like it's a built in thing - some internal component shutting down, maybe?
    Any thoughts? Again, I'm sorry if this is a well-known issue or an obvious fix... my mom's the audiophile and she's out right now. TIA

    I have the same or similar problem. My imac is a week old and makes a humming and or buzzing sound. It's intermittent and happens especially when I go to get mail and there's no mail. It buzzed or hummed constantly today while I was on the internet. So I tried something. I disconnected my old Labtec external speakers and enabled the internal speakers. The noise stopped. I would here the humming with the volume turned all the way down on the Labtecs. Here's the crazy part. I have a voip telephone service that uses the router-so the phone is near the computer. With the Labtecs connected I picked up the phone to make a call. When I hit the on button the pitch of the hum changed on the computer. I did on and off on the phone about 10 times and the hum got higher and lower with each on and off. This is not happening with the Labtecs disconnected. Any thoughts.

  • Sleep, Restart, Shutdown loop - how do I get out of this loop?

    I installed os X Panther on mom's older iMac.
    Tonight, when it's booted it comes up with "sleep, restart, shutdown" options.
    We've selected each of these 3 items, waited, then either woke it up, waited for it to restart, or restarted it from shutdown; however, again it will eventually show a screen that only allows her to select "sleep, restart, shutdown"
    How does she get out of this loop?
    Note: There is not option to cancel the screen that has "sleep, restart, shutdown."

    It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
    Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
    You may need to do a clean install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • After Downloading Mountain Lion IMAC is having bluetooth sleep issues.

    After downloading Mountain Lion my 21" IMAC is fine untill it goes into sleep mode for an extended period of time.  When I try to wake the IMAC with the Bluetooth keyboard or mouse it will not wake up.  I have to hold the power button down for 5 seconds.  This does not happen untill the IMAC has been in sleep mode for a wihile (I don't know the amount of time) but if I am at the IMAC and it goes into sleep I and wake it with know problem it has to sleep for a while for the issue to kick in.
    Thanks

    Open Disk Utilities (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) and run Repair Disk Permissions and then restart the computer and retest.

  • Firewire ports and power draw while sleeping

    After plugging in a power meter, I noticed my iMac was puling approximately 13W while sleeping. A bit of unplugging narrowed it down to the firewire ports. Each one was pulling about 6W, even while sleeping.
    Will the firewire ports still draw power if the device is turned off? I'm specifically interested in an external drive that has a hard power-off feature (as opposed to simply sleeping). I'd like to keep it plugged in (I had been unplugging the cable except when needed).
    I now I can check this myself, but I'm using the power meter for another project right now and don't want to unplug it and start over, but would like an answer "now."
    Thanks in advance.

    An open cable connected to any port draws no power. Think of it as kind of a cable to nowhere. Now...connect it to some external object such as a printer or external hard drive and the current draw of the device determines how much power is drawn. Most devices in standby draw about 5-15W depending on their complexity.

  • Imac g5 crashes while asleep; can't boot from cd/dvd

    My imac g5 crashes while asleep. Both the display and hard drive are set to sleep.
    In trying to fix this problem with Apple tech support, I've discovered I can't boot from the cd/dvd. When I hold down the letter c while restarting, the disk ejects. I've tried three different disks: the install dvd, a Norton Systemworks bootable cd, and the bootable cd from AppleCare. All are ejected.
    Have I got some hardware problem(s)?

    Since we couldn't fix this over the phone, it's now at the Apple Store being fixed. They've replaced the power supply and, after I called again and made sure they tested it by having it sleep for a couple of hours (they couldn't wake it up after that), they're replacing the logic board.
    I've been disappointed by the amount of hardware that's had to be replaced on this computer. I also had to replace the mid-plane assembly about six months after buying it in Sept. 2004.

  • HT1776 Hi, my iMac screen goes to sleep but the fan stays on 24hrs and never stops?

    Hi, my iMac screen goes to sleep but the fan stays on 24hrs and never stops? You can hear it running all night.
    Appreciate any advice.I'm using Lion. Many problems started since using Lion!

    The temps are a bit higher than I'd expect under normal circumstances, and too high while playing games, but what is the room temp where it is?
    I def. think its a temp thing now. but why does it only raise when im playing games or watching videos online?
    Games tipically press the CPU, Video Card, RAM, and everything else much harder than most apps.
    It may be a Fan not working properly, or just dust buildup.
    Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
    Report any errors it finds.
