Loud Noise after disconnecting Video Camera

I was importing some videos from my Sony video camera, and when I was done I turned the camera off, unplugged the firewire, and there was an extremely loud BLURP! It was like some kind of error noise, but I have yet to find out what that might have been. My volume was not even all of the way up, and it was louder than I have ever heard anything come from the speakers.
Just seeing if anyone might have an explanation. No problems with the computer after it happened. I just want to know what it might have been. Thanks.

I had to laugh when I read your description of the Blurp! Only because I think I've been getting the same noise, maybe 3-4 times the past couple weeks, when iTunes has completed the ripping of a CD. And not every CD recently, 3 or 4 of maybe 30 rips. I've had no problems either after the "Blurp!", just that noise that scared the crap out of me the first time.
I've connected a Kodak digital camera quite a few times and have not had that noise, just when ripping a CD. Related somehow? Possibly? Who knows, just thought I'd share my Blurp.

  • Loud Noises after reset of SMU

    I just hooked up my iMac today and the built in iSight went black on me. After reading a little bit on these forums, I reset the SMU by shutting down, removing power plug, waiting 10 seconds, plug power cord back in while holding power button, then starting back up. The iSight works fine now, but there is loud noise which appears to be the fans or maybe hd or processor? It is on while starting up and still is on at this moment. It was not nearly this loud before I reset the SMU. I tried restarting, shutting down and turning back on and its still loud. Whats could be causing my problem and how would i fix it? Thanks

    The Intel iMacs do not have an SMU, those instructions are for the iMac G5s. The Intels have an SMC. Here are the instructions.

  • After iLife 6 upgrade, iMove & iDVD doesn't recognize my video camera.

    Since upgrading to iLife 6, iMovie and iDVD no longer recognizes my video camera. I have tried plugging, unplugging, turn off, turn on - all the usual procedures and I can't get it working.
    Here's the unusual thing; I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and it finds the video camera just fine every time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    My camera is a Sony HDR-HC1

    I just tried my camera and wasn't successful at first. After connecting it (I didn't have the firewire connected at first , turning the camera on and off, disconnecting/connecting I noticed a choice (I was able to use the iSight) of input but had the camera listed as incompatible with the project. I had to close the test project I started and start a new one. This time I was more careful about the setting and selected it as a DV project.
    I hope this helps.

  • Mini DVI to Video: blue screen after disconnect

    Hi,
    can't find a solution: after disconnecting the mini dvi to video-adapter I always get a blue screen and I need to restart my brandnew 20" iMac.
    I use it to connect my (old) television via s-video. It is clear that I bought the right Mini-DVI-Adapter.
    Can anyone help or has the same problem?
    iMac 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for the help. I'd figured out that shutting it off would keep it from happening and was probably a "best practice," but since 90% of my television watching is from my eyeTV, I'd be turning it on and off a lot.
    The only problem with leaving the setup plugged in, is that as soon as the mini DVI cable is plugged in, the resolution on the iMac resets itself to super-large fit for television mode and becomes virtually unusable as a computer, thus when I want to use my computer, the cable has to be unplugged....unless of course you know something I don't
    Thanks,

  • Video/Camera light not working after upgrade to 975

    Hi,
    After I upgraded to the latest OS release from Verizon (v5.0.0.975) on my Tour, the light for both my video recorder or camera no longer work. I have done battery pulls and checked the options for each (both set to ON).
    I tried searching here first, but didn't find anything. However, a Google search shows posts on other forums about this issue.
    I contacted Verizon Support and the person was not able to help. She asked me to go into Options for my video camera and apparently some of the settings have also been removed. So, I asked her to please report this to RIM Support. She mentioned downgrading my OS, which I had already considered. But, since this OS seems stable and I don't use my cameras that much, I'll ride it out for now.
    If anyone else is having the same problem, I would encourage you to contact your carriers support and report this. Hopefully RIM will have a fix for this available soon.
    Thanks,
    RayK

  • Video camera doesn't work after installing IOS 7

    I can't use video camera with iPad 2 after upgrading to IOS 7.
    Anyone knows why?

    Nice one, Apple. Swipe to change between camera and video and disable tapping on the word "video" because tapping makes sense and is easy enough for even a 5 year old to understand. Don't be Microsoft and make things harder to use. Keep the swipe if it satisfies your sense of feeling all modern and relevant, but put back the tap on "camera" and "video" so we don't have to Google it to figure it out and leave irate notes in your product forums. Missed a really cute video of my toddler singing thanks to you.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • How do I know it is okay to disconnect my camera after downloading photos

    When I download photos from my SLR to my iMac using Aperture 3.1.3 is there anything I need to do to disconnect my camera after the download?
    Usually there is an okay to disconnect message or button to ejec. I do not see anything on Aperature that it is okay to disconnect.

    Just pull the plug.  It's OK.
    Aperture (and OS X) will see a card reader as a drive and mount the drive, and you will get an "Eject Card" button.  That's not how it works with a camera.  After you have imported your photos, you'll click something on the "Aperture has imported ## photos" dialog, and then it's OK (and recommended) to disconnect the cable.  (Leaving the cable connected drains the camera battery.)

  • Why is my video cam NOT working again after it had been sent in to get fixed already

    Model Number: QE024UA
    Model Description: HP PAVILION DV6-6169US NOT
    Serial Number: 5CH1430SD9
    I had my computer sent to get the video cam working... they sent it back and it worked for about 2-3wks and is not working again also when I call someone elses computer I can hear and see them but they can no longer see or hear me. Cant see due to video not working again again on my part but they used to be able to at least hear me.. Now neither works. I have written plenty of messages to HP (at least 3 that I remember) but with no reply. Not a happy camper right now about this. When I bought this computer It had everything I thought I needed and more for my basic use. I chat on facebook Play their game and browse the web.. watch my netflix. I never really needed a video cam but now since family life has changed and I live so far away from them I specifically ordered this computer cuz of its high quality in video plus I liked the fact it played Blue-Ray. I used to have a Dell that lasted me a good 5yrs of usage. I have had this less than 3mnths and twice the cam has gone out on me.

    I'm avoiding buying anything else to use my iMac and had the same problem. I have PC headset with mic and headphones and also a Motorola bluetooth headset, neither worked how they should, no mic function:
    I can use the pc headphones that I already had (just didn't input the mic jack part), and the iMac built-in mic together as I chat.
    Just go to System Preferences and make the Sound settings for Output to built-in Headpones and Input to Internal Microphone -select "Use ambient noise reduction.
    Its a get-around, but it works.

  • Bluetooth headphones disconnecting after pausing video content on Yosemite.

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
    Yosemite 10.10.3 (latest public beta)
    (short) My Beats Studio Wireless headphones will disconnect after pausing video content.
    (long) My headphones will connect without issue. However, after watching video content (either on Safari or QuickTime), the headphones will disconnect from bluetooth. To re-connect, I must turn the headphones off then back on. I have read the bluetooth faqs and there are no solutions addresses this issue. I have had moderate results by removing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and re-pairing my devices, yet, the problem returns after watching video in Safari. This problem only persists on OS X. I have tested the headphones with Windows and iOS and they work as intended with no dropouts.  Any ideas?

    Hi tlacroixia,
    Thank you for the response. Because this is not happening when your computer goes to sleep, the first troubleshooting steps I would recommend would be to reset your computer’s PRAM and SMC. Please follow the instructions located in the attached two articles below to complete these steps, and again, please let me know if the issue continues.

    this morning my PB G4 would not get to the password screen after power on.  I have rebooted many times and very loud noises (like a HD spinning/rubbing) emits. Tried the Install disk and it cannot find the hard drive. Ran HW test and got a "Mass storage Error Code" message.
    Did my HD just crash and unrecoverable?  Time to replace my notebook?

    I believe your hard drive has failed. Hope you have a backup.
