Long beeping sound

While talking on the phone with a iPhone 5s user (only happens with this person) I occasionally hear a beeping sound it's not a quick beep it's a long continuing beeping noise that stops it's not a certain time limit either. It happens with and without earphones at one point the sound got so loud that I had to jerk my earphones out of my ear because it hurt so badly. I asked the other person if it was them or could they hear it (thinkiń they were joking with me) but they said no and I trust this person (significant other) i so not know where this sound is coming from but I do need help about it if you have and idea that would be great! Thanks

Boot from the Apple Hardware Test disk and run all tests in a loop by holding down Ctrl + L during the tests. Let it run for a while as it sometimes can take hours for an intermittent issue to show up.

Lenovo L420 THINKPAD starts with a constant long beeping sound for atleast 1 min.

From few days my laptop starts with a long beeping sound for atleast more than 1 min, then comes a boot order option. I have no idea whats wrong with it,last time when it happened i had to change my harddisk. Guys anyone with expert ideas please help me,and as fast possible.

Nope. Not using a dock at all. I have to mention tho', that the machine already visited an authorized service. The motherboard was replaced, because it didn't recognise the power brick and refused to charge the laptop.
I'm guessing they didn't put it back together properly. Since I posted I checked the cpu / gpu temps and the cpu temps rise to 80-90 C just when I do a simple operation like delete a larger folder. I tried to turn on bluetooth to copy some stuff from my phone yesterday and for some reason it acted like i pressed fn+f4. Went to sleep. I pressed fn+f5 just for the record, but after a few times doing this, I found that no matter what fn combo I press it goes to sleep. I have to press the power button again to bring it back. Started playing piano on the rest of the keyboard and same thing. Going to sleep. The lcd went in off mode and disappeared from both the bios and device manager. I was back at square one again seeing my desktop only on the external monitor.
I suspect the tech guys who fixed it didn't put something back right + the fact that the cpu is so hot lets me believe that the thermal paste was not applied right.
I still don't get why all the hardware self test pass. Maybe I should do a stress test? Or should I just send it back to service?

Long beep sound in UCS C220 Server

Hello All,
We have recently upgraded our CM server from MCS to UCS C220. All is working well since 3 weeks. However, since the past three days the UCS server is giving long beep sounds. In the CIMC console its showing as Severe Fault and in Storage Slot 1 and physical Drive 2, the status is "Foreign Configuration" and Health status is "Moderate Fault". However, when we check the status of the light on the physical drive, its still green and not amber. So is it there a problem with the Harddrive?
Pls find the screenshot attached.

Hey there. I don't think you'll get a reply on this forum because it looks like this is a fault on the UCS server itself, and not on the Unified Communication application that runs on the UCS server. Please re-post this discussion to the board which discusses UCS servers. You'll get a reply there.

Long beeping sounds during iPhone 4s calls

Often when I am on calls longer than 5 minutes I hear a long beeping sound, almost like someone is pushing a button. Does anyone why this is happening and how to fix it I have a 4s?

Is this with all calls when using a headset or just some?
If some perhaps there's a second call trying to get through & it's notifying you there's another call waiting or if it's a Bluetooth headset maybe it's telling that it requires charging.

Long Beep and autotype key

I have HP Envy 4, Long beep sound while starting up and in password it autotype.

Yes, I can see that now..
Iwe plugged the 4-pinned square plug into the JPW and also unplugged the CD-rom and HD just in case.
But I just tried it, and I still get a loud beeping sound that wont stop (until I turn it off) and a blank screen..
All Iwe got connected now is the JPW(4-pin square), JPWR(normal 4-pin) and ATX1(24-pin)
Thanks for the tip, sadly it wasnt enough :P..

Kernel panic with 1 long beep, need suggestions and helps on iMac 21.5

First of all, my iMac spec is as follows.
- iMac 21.5 inches Mid 2011 (Intel Core i5 2.5 Ghz)
- OS X version 10.7.4
- Memory 4 GB
My situation is that I experienced a first ever kernel panic. It forces me to restart the system. I followed that, and then whenever it boots up a one time long beep sound occurs. After that a flickering screen (white and black) with normal chime sound occurs, and repeat itself for 3-4 times before actually goes into a normal login screen.
Everything is normal, I can use any programs properly. But one thing I notice is that "serial number" is missing in "About this mac" option. I strongly remember that it's there since a time of purchase this iMac. I also take a look at System/Profiles and nothing there as well.
I also take a look at the kernal panic log in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter and /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports but can't find any relevant logs. There's just one file inside both 2 folders, and that log is dated which is not match to my incidence.
I tried remove out ram, and switch the slot between them, but it doesn't help.
Also I've tried reseting PRAM, but it doesn't help as well.
My iMac is within the warranty but outside of technical call.
Any suggestions and help would be very appreciated.

UCS c220 giving long beeps, Hardisk replaced, but status still Unconfigured

Hello All,
We have installed a brand new UCS Server for CUCM 10.5 a couple of weeks back. Recently the UCS Server started giving long beep sounds.
When we check through CIMC we found that the status of the Physical Drive 2 was showing “Foreign Config.” And the health as “Moderate Fault”.
We have two Hardisks in RAID 0 group and one of those is Physical Drive 2 which has the problem. Pls find the attachment “Physical Drive 1" and "Virtual Drive 1”.
We have raised support request with Cisco and successfully replaced the problematic Hardisk yesterday.
However, the status of the Physical Hardisk is showing “Un Configured” but the Health status is “Good”.
The Virtual Drive Info tab the status is still “Severe Fault” and the Hard drive is showing as “Missing”
The long beep sound is still there. Pls find the attachment “Physical Drive 2" and "Virtual Drive 2”. for more information.
Need your help to bring this Hardisk Online from UnConfigured. Do I need to Initialize the Hardisk for inclusion in RAID0?

Hello Keny,
Thanks for the reply.
I shutdown the server and configured Raid 1 through CIMC as the boot drive for VMware and installed VMware and mapped the server from Raid 5 The problem is now fixed.
Thank you,
Ifthiquar

Awful beeping sound on boot

I formated the entire hard drive and installed Ubuntu 14.04 in a Macbook 5.2.
Ubuntu boots decently fast, however there is a disconcerting garbled image on screen:
After that Ubuntu runs fairly well but once I restart the machine a long beeping sound takes place instead of booting, the laptop remains with power but nothing will happen after that.
I have to manually shut down the laptop and restart, Ubuntu will load but the next restart will have the same beeping sound of death.
I already flushed the PRAM with hotkeys and by removed the Battery several times.
Nothing has fixed this problem, and I'm unable to install Mac OS X to troubleshoot it.
Note: This problem appeared right after installing Ubuntu for the first time, I already formated and installed several other Distros and the beep remains.
What can I do to fix this?

Perhaps it is because Apple make the kernel drivers that 'help' users by beeping when the hardware is having issues? It's still unclear to me if the sound is coming from the speakers, connect some headphones to see if that redirects the sound.
Other OS's don't always access every hardware feature so they may not make the same checks as Apple software.
I wonder if the display has a sensor for reading the backlight output. When it is found to be off the OS may ring the alarm?
What point does the beeping begin?
If you can get into verbose mode you may be able to see some error messages. This is easiest if you have a bootable OS X disk. The nvram command can also be used to set the verbose mode in the settings to force verbose mode on every boot - but it can be difficult to do if you have no active OS X installation available.

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/nvram.8.html
It seems odd to me that the boot picker seems to show a fully illuminated screen, perhaps that is driving the inverter differently? Is that always correctly displayed?
Please provide some info on the other equipment you have access to, it could help you jump into some testing instead of discussing hypothetical problems.
NOTE: This is speculation on my part, Apple engineers will have access to troubleshooting manuals - do you have access to an Apple store or service center - is that an option for you? They may be able to say categorically what the sound means if you are lucky.

Long beeps, no signal?

Well, first off my new computer worked great for about 6 hours, and then i turned it off. the next morning, i was using it and then i tried to run Counterstrike source for the first time since i got it working. i played regular counterstrike on it fine and it worked great, but as i tried to get source to work, it reached the mainpage for Source and then the computer restarted. I tried it again just to be sure and sure enough, it restarted. so i thought that i wouldnt do that again, and i was going to just play regular counterstrike because i already knew that worked. i didnt even get to click the icon yet and the computer restarts, but this time when it restarted, nothing showed up on the moniter. the moniter's power button stayed yellow, or the standby color. the PC would run but nothing would show up. at first i thought it was the moniter, so i tried the moniter on another computer and it worked, so it wasnt the moniter. i thought it was the video card, so i RMA'd it and got a new one, thinking the old one was a defect. i stuck in the new one and it still did the same thing, so i was guessing that couldnt be the problem. everything else works, and the MSI mobo makes long beeping sounds, long continuous beeps. i tried resetting the cmos with the jumpers, and that still wouldnt work. i tried to unplug and replug the wires and that didnt work.
does anyone have a suggestion of what i could do?

i dont think its the ram because i tried it in different slots and it worked in other computers.
sometimes memory will work great in some boards, and then just not like another type. nforce are used to be the worst culprits, but now with A64 the memory controller is in the CPU, so was it another A64 system you tried your memory in?
you've tried your RAM in another computer, so why not try some RAM out of another computer in yours?

Fail to boot (short-short-short-long beep code) after M92p BIOS Update

Hi,
I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version using the System Update tool from Lenovo. For a while everything seemed to be working alright, as the BIOS was dowloaded and the computer rebooted. After rebooting the first time i was presented with the BIOS utility, and noticed that the update was progressing.
After 20 or so seconds the computer rebooted again. This is where my problems began. The computer immediately started beeping this short-short-short-long melody from the speakers. I thought this was normal, so I left the computer on for quite a while.
However, the beeping never stopped. Now the beeping resumed the instant i plug the power back in. I have yet been able to actually getting any sort of information on-screen telling me what's wrong.
I've tried following the "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 267 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but no luck with that so far. No matter where I place the jumper, the beeping code is the same short-short-short-long melody (yeah, it sounds like a disney tune or something).
Any bright ideas? The machine type is a M92p 2992-B3G
I'd hate to have to send it in for repairs, and Lenovo's Norwegian support line doesn't open until Monday, and there seems to be no way to call their 800-number in the states from here
Oh, and would this be covered by my warranty if repairs / motherboard replacement is the only way out?
UPDATE #1:
I found this in the manual;
3 short beeps and then 1 long beep DRAM memory
error
Perform the following actions in order.
1. Make sure the memory module(s) are properly seated
in the connector(s).
2. Replace the memory module(s).
3. Replace the system board.
This is pretty much Lenovo's way of saying "You're screwed", isn't it?
UPDATE #2:
I've now tried pretty much everything;
The solution as proposed on page 267 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual
Unplugging all cables and harddrives before booting
Removing my PCIe video card and PCI Wireless NIC before booting
Removing all memory modules, and trying 1 and 1 module
Moved a memory module from another machine that I know is working
No luck so far.
Ideas would be welcome at this point

I'm glad to hear it's just a simple memory error, however the original problem in this post is a bit more than just a memory problem.
This became a problem after a BIOS update, so somewhere along the way one of Lenovo's developer screwed up badly, and it's been bugging me ever since. There's absolutely no way for me to use any PCI-e card with my M92p.
I've tried 6 different cards, 3-4 different memory module combinaties, with our without harddrives plugged in, and every thinkable combination of these.
No luck. Therefore, I simply conclude that Lenovo are dicks, and we all know what dicks enjoy doing; **bleep**ing people over.
I've given up on the issue, and I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this.

IPhoto 9 plus all photos in finder are making constant fast beep sounds, flashing & frozen. What happened

Few days ago Mac Mail started making fast, loud, continuous beeping sounds while I was writing a long document. The Mail program started flashing, "vibrating," and froze. I had to force quit and lost that email (right - I should have saved it, but didn't). I tried to re-create the document in Pages and the same thing happened. Then I tried to recreate it in Word. Same thing. (may sound nuts to just keep trying new programs, but this was an urgent document. Figured I could get it done, then focus on fixing the problem)
When I finally got things working again by re-starting multiple times and using Disk Utility, I evenutally opened iPhoto. After working with that program for several hours, I tried to use "share, "which creates an email with a jpeg. The same beeping and flashing started again. I had to shut down the computer. Next day everything seemed OK. No problems for 3 days.
Tonight I was working with several programs, all doing fine. Then I opened iPhoto and it immediately started the fast beeping and wouldn't let me access any of my MANY photos. Had to force quit. So I tried to access photos I saved in Finder. Every saved photo (I have hundreds in Finder) would beep and flash continuously when I clicked on it's icon, even without opening it.
I can't find anything online about this situation. Some articles and forums talk about 3 beeps having a certain meaning. That's not what this is. It's continuous loud rhythmic beeps, flashing and I can barely shut down the program when that's going on.
Background: right before this started, my HD was very full and giving me warnings, so I deleted numerous file. It's possible I could have deleted something that should NOT have been deleted. I also started in PRAM mode. If I deleted something, I don't know how to tell what's missing. Also, iPhoto is very full and gave me warnings not to add photos. My Mac is 5 years old and running pretty fast. I installed Mountain Lion several months ago.
Has anyone experienced this? Help!! I don't want to lose my photos!

Running with a very full HD is very, very bad.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Then, frankly, telling us you deleted "numerous file" but don't know what you deleted, really means that we can't help.
It's very likely that your Library is damaged from being run on an overfull disk. But you'll need at least as muh disk space again for repair it.
So, you need to get an external HD or two, move some data off that machine to make room. You may also need to reinstall your OS as you're not sure what you have deleted. After you've got your Os working you can try fix iPhoto.

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.

3 long beep and cannot open MacBook

I just bought a new MacBook and I am a new Mac user. Each time I turn on my Black MacBook 10.5 it won't open and it keeps beeping 3 long sounds. I need to hold down the power button to switch it off then turn it on, then it open. Is there any problem in my MacBook? What I will do to eliminate the sound and to open smoothly?
Thanks.

I also have the 3 long beeps and gray screen. This is incredibly frustrating just before a business trip to Dubai.
I eventually figured it was a RAM problem, I upgraded my Macbook to 2 1GB sticks in November and everything worked fine. Now it is the 22nd of Jan, used Macbook last night fine, this morning it wouldnt start, 3 beeps and gray screen.
I heard someone say the RAM could have been dislodged so i opened up the back and removed the ram and reinserted it..
NO CHANGE, still beeps 3 times and doesnt startup.
So i removed one 1 GB stick thinking it might be faulty, surprise, it works on just 1 GB, leopard starts up fine.. great but i want to use both sticks!
I shutdown the computer..
i figured it might be that stick which was bad, so to check i swapped it with the stick i removed and restarted, also works fine..
conclusion not bad memory...
thought it might be the port, so i swapped the stick into the other port and restarted, leopard starts fine...
Conclusion: Not a bad port
So tried both sticks again then believing nothing was wrong, 3 beeps pop up leopard doesnt start,
Conclusion for some reason leopard is now not accepting 2GB, it will only boot with 1GB.
This makes no sense, I have a Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz machine.
There is no reason why it suddenly stopped working with 2 GB.
I am at a loss, and considering backing up all my files and reinstalling leopard next week after my trip with a complete format. Although this shouldnt be nexxessary and may not change anything. Otherwise take it into an apple store and see what they say.

Qosmio X300 - How to disable the beep-sound of the Multimedia keys?

I've now tried quite long and looked through the net for one thing:
How do I disable the sound of the multimedia keys above the keyboard? I just find the beep-sounds unbelievable disturbing.

You must enter BIOS and search for option name something like BEEP SOUND or something similar and change to DISABLED. I can't tell where exactly this option is, because my laptop is away from me ;)
Hope it helps.

T410: Strange Beeping sound

I've had my T410 for 1 year now. Since day 1, it has had a strange issue with emitting an intermittent beeping sound. Here are some of the details:
Does not happen during start-up. This is when the computer is running
Does not make a difference how long the computer has been turned on - sometimes it will beep within minutes of Windows starting
Beep is not prompted by any user activity - it will beep even if I am away from it
Beep is not transmitted via the speakers - when speakers are on mute, beep is as loud as always
Beep happens roughly once every several minutes, and is loud enough to be heard 15-20' away
Beep is not regularly timed
Frequency of beeps has gotten worse over the last year
When computer beeps, any user actions hiccup. For example, if I am clicking a link at the time when the computer beeps, I will see my whole computer freeze for a split second, and the link won't be launched. I have to click again after the beep. Same is true for whatever program I happen to be using at the time
Interestingly, my colleague's T410 has the exact same problem. We talked about it and were baffled.
Can anyone help solve this mystery?
Thanks!
Additional computer info:
Windows 7.0, 32-bit
