Loud noise & problems with cd burning

if i move my macbook pro when burning a cd from itunes it makes loud noises and doesnt burn it stops and says error?
is this normal or is there a fault ?
thanks

Chances are the optical drive is dead. Take it is to a Apple store, or a AASP. ThenApple store will give you a free diagnosis. Aprice for a repair. The Apple Store is the best to bring it to, as the AASP, aithough some ae are very good, some are terrible. Apple Store is my choice, and they give a 90 day warranty on heir work. To me , a no brainer, as I have had teriffic service from them.

Problem with Wave Burner

Hi
I'm having a problem with Wave Burner hanging when I try to play audio files. The last time I used it, several months ago, all was well but now after importing my audio files and pressing play the program hangs up and can only be closed with force quit. This also happens opening saved files which played previously. Logic and Pro-tools are still working fine. No problems there.
Im using a digi003 with Core Audio. Logic 8.02 OS version 10.5.8. I mac 2.66 dual.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I thought I'd try this again
In Wave Burner if I select the internal audio as playback it works. It's only when I select the Digi003 as playback that it hangs. It used to playback through the 003 fine.
Anyone?
Thanks!

Strange noise problem with music layer after replacing the music file using script in CS6

Hey guys,
I got a strange problem. Sometime when I import a music file, or replace a music footage with another music file using the "replace()" or "importFile()" method, the music layer added one second noise at the beginning. like this,
Does anyone know what's going on here?
I'm using After Effects CS6 windows Server 2008 64bit.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Myleniu,
Thanks for your replay. Actually, it doesn't matter what makes up my comp, this problem just randomly happen when I render any comp. For example, I have a comp named "noise", I run a script to replace the music then render it, I use a "for" loop to do this 5 times and the music noise problem just happen one time.
I'm starting to think that win server might be the problem.

IMovies problem with Ken Burns effect.

When I use Ken Burns effect in IMovies, the bricks of a house, the line of a shirt, ... are kind of vibrating. In Aperture 3, it is ok. Is that a known problem with IMovies ?

I have seen that in older editions - like iMovie 6 - especially when using pics at a high resolution - the water or sky seemd to shimmer. Funny I'm using iMovie 11 now and some things I liked better in 6, but you bring to mind something that bugged me (though people would ask - "How did you get that to happen?")

PS- NO problems with burning cds or importing cds before I UPDATED!!

I had the same problem although they didn't occur immediately after moving to a new drive but only after upgrading iTunes.
Anyway, what I did was
-delete "com.apple.iTunes.plist" from your Library
-start iTunes and configure it to use the default settings which among others will use your Home for storing the Music folder.
-when it's up and running change the Preferences/Advanced to use the Music folder on your external drive.
-accept the dialogs
Worked for me - ymmw

How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

Hi
I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
Is there any advice on what I should do.

Hi
What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
> I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS
Bye

How I fixed my noise problems with iTunes 7

Firstly my system is an AMD X2 3800+ with a Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 motherboard and a Creative Soundblaster x-fi xtreme music.
I was having two problems with playback itunes, firstly when the volume control in itunes was anything less than 100% there was distortion, then when itunes was playing with certain other programs using sound there was jumping, popping and fast forwarding, these included world of warcraft, Call of Duty 2 and Windows Media Player playing a video clip (though when I changed the codex for ffdshow to xvid i had no problem with media player)
To solve the distortion problem i change the audio setting in quicktime form 24bit to 16bit.
To solve the skipping I ran dxdiag.exe and went into the sound 1 tab, I found I had to pull the hardware acceleration slider to basic acceleration, if I set the slider to no acceleration itunes would refuse to run. After this I still had the occasional popping sound, so I went back to the quicktime audio settings and set the frequency to 44.1.
I also I found that after each of these changes itunes had to be restarted to for them to come into effect.
I also made sure i had the latest directx and sound card drivers.

Hopefully you have posted this info in the iTunes for Windows forums. I am sure it can help your Windows buddies more then the Mac crowd.

Noise problem with HP Photosmart C4480

I purchased this all-in-one in November of last year - now out of warranty and guess what? It has developed a fault in that it makes a noise like a loud machine gun burst before it starts printing. Print quality is still fine. On line technician in a far off place(i think) wasn't much help. Can this be cured?

Hello Wildviolets
If the printer was having noise and now won't work at all then it sounds like the printer may have had a hardware problem. As for the ink if they are Genuine HP ink and you just purchased them they should still be in warranty. If you purchase a new HP printer that doesn't use those cartridges, you should be able to call HP they should be able to replace any unopened ink cartridges that are in warranty for other HP ink cartridges that will work with your new printer.
Hello Larrycza
It does sound good for the printer. Have you tried running the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility? It may be able to determine which component or problem is occurring.

Problems with Ken Burns effect

Having a very frustrating time trying to get a decent slideshow. Like the KB effect but when I play it back the images jerk and jump. Smoothness totally
gone. Strange thing is sometimes it is worse than others. Have tried closing all
other unnecessary programs to save RAM , etc...does not help. Sometimes it
looks ok played in iphoto but when I send to idvd the jerking is back. HELP.
When going through process have about 250MB free and 10 GB on disk.
Also when I export a slideshow (size-large 720X480)to Quicktime image
quality degrades considerably. All I want is a decent dvd copy of my honeymoon
pictures but can't seem to accomplish this. Am very disappointed at all the
grief involved in this...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Old Toad.
It seems that a fair number of users have run into this same problem over recent months: namely, producing a slideshow with audio from iPhoto with the Ken Burns effect creates a "jerky" movie as a result. The advice I have seen is to either clean up your hard drive or get more memory. I consistently run into this problem even though I have a 1Ghz G4 iMac with 768MB main memory. I have tried this on my root drive with about 7GB available and on a firewire drive I have with ~30GB available space. I have also tried using Cache Out X to clean up caches and other various files, and still iPhoto produces jerky results.
The one workaround that has worked was to turn off audio. That seems to fix the problem, but I do want audio in these slideshows to put onto DVD. Others have suggested using iMovie to add the audio track, but reading in the output of iPhoto into iMovie seriously degrades the quality of the video -- not to mention that it is a very slow and tedious process to do this.
I would like to point out that this was not always the case. Unfortunately I cannot pinpoint the exact time when this started happening, but I could swear that I had been able to create slideshows in this manner before one of the many iPhoto upgrades I automatically received over the last year. I now have version 5.0.4.
Have you heard of anyone successfully fixing or working around this problem? I love my Mac...and this is one of the fundamental reasons I switched from Windows a few years ago was for the great photo tools. But now, without the ability to make DVDs the way I want, I am considering switching back .

Problem with DVD burning

I was trying to burn DVD with GUI it failed multiple times, so I tried with growisofs, but problem is the same:
:-[ WRITE@LBA=10h failed with SK=5h/INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE]: Invalid argument
if I try again it shows
:-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/WRITE PROTECTED]: Input/output error
so this process just destroys my DVDs
Do you know what may be wrong? I use same DVD type as before, same burner, same software (I was able to burn one, then it stopped to work). I tried even reboot and power off, nothing seems to work.

I'm having a similar problem, I didn't bun DVDs for some time just to see that now I can't anymore...

Noise problem with moving bitmaps

I'm having trouble with the most recent Flash player
(9,0,45,0). When
displaying moving bitmaps, the player sometimes shows
horizontal noise
lines across the image. This doesn't happen on all platforms,
but it
does happen on my customers', so I've got to figure it out.
It happens in the OS X Flash 9.0 IDE, but not on the same
machine within
a browser. It happens on some Windows machines, but not
others. It only
happens with bitmaps; if I trace the bitmap into shapes then
the problem
goes away (no, that's not an option for my application). The
format of
the imported bitmap doesn't matter, nor does whether it is
being moved
with a motion tween or ActionScript. Updating to the latest
Flash player
reduced the effect for my customer, but not completely.
I've made a web page that has the live applet (so you can see
if it
happens on your system), the applet source, and a screen shot
of the
noise effect (when played within the Flash 9.0 IDE). Note
that it took
me about fifty tries to get that screen shot, but while the
applet is
running the noise is quite easy to see since it's so sharp.
You can find
the page here:

Excellent!!! (Well, not excellent that the problem exists,
nor that
you're inflicted by it, but that it's at least duplicatable.
It gives me
hope that it will be fixed.)

I'm not even using a BitmapData; I'm just moving a Bitmap
asset across
the stage. No ActionScript involved.
It's clear to me that this is a Macromedia/Adobe bug. I've
posted a
report on the Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report form at

Problem with a burn

I created a project in iDVD that looks great while previewing in iDVD. I tried to burn it several times and it gets to the end and gives me a multiplexing error (something about progress error). The movie I've got going in is a .mov file from First Cut Express. Really frustrating to wait 20 minutes 4 different times to get the same result.

Hi
a. How did You go from FinalCut to iDVD ?
I do. In FCE/P Export as QuickTime.mov
NO - QuickTime Conversion
NOT - Selfcontained
b. How much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hadr disk
Mine have a minimum of 25Gb when working with iDVD. IMPORTANT
c. What brand and type of DVDs did You use.
I only use Verbatim
Only DVD-R
d. Burnspeed ? The one on the DVD pack (auto selecting)
I do set it down to x1 but may be x4 is OK - x16 gives to many errors on my disks
Else read.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.

N8 background noise problem with Philips SHE9850

I just bought N8 to replace my 5800XM. N8 is good so far until I plug in the ear phone which I used from my 5800XM time, Philips SHE9850.
The problem is I used this earphone from the time that I still use 5800XM and it works great. No noise at all.
Now, when you play any sound from N8 (anything from clicking menu button, play movie, listen to music, play games etc). It produces static noise that is very noticeable/annoying in the earphone (since Philips SHE9850 has quite low impedance so you will know right away). Especially, the dialogue (speech) or the quiet part of the song. When you slide the side button to lock the screen, after it goes dim, the noise goes away even the music still playing which is so strange.
Do any of you have similar problem like me? I am going to visit Nokia Shop that I bought the phone on this Friday and test with the demo phone. Don’t know what will be the result but I am so disappoint with this issue. If you have any experience, please share with me. Thanks.

You guys are worrying me. My N97 has top notch audio output. If N8 has worse, I don't want it.
I remember that N95 had similiar issue when screen was turned on.
I was getting a slight pop/hiss on my N97-00 when each MP3 loaded. The same behavior exists on the N8. Could it simply be something to do with the way the codec is utilized by the phone. I didn't find it that distracting.

Toshiba a305-s6916 problem with touchpad burning my hands

This is a great laptop but the touchpad overheats alot. my hands feel burned and red after about 2 hours of use. Is there anyway to deal with this issue? all thru the product reviews for this model you see this being mentioned. so i think theres a defect with this model Kinda a health hazard i think.
Has anyone from bestbuy contacted toshiba about this matter?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There's a few things that could be. One of the largest possibilities is a faulty heat sink since the problem seems to arise after prolonged use.
If you've had the computer for under a year or have a service plan from Best Buy, you can take it up to the Geek Squad Precinct and they can check it in for Diagnostics to replicate the problem.
If there is a problem, they can have the computer sent to either the manufacturer or their service centers to remedy.

Bizarre and regular metal noise problems with Logic

Hi all,
I've recently upgraded to Logic Studio 9 and have been disappointed to find that often when I open a project, instead of the expected audio, I get bizarre metallic sounding digital noise. This almost always happens if I open two projects or a second project over a previous one but also happened when I was auditioning audio files to add to the arrange. Sometimes opening another application in the background causes the same problem. This happened occasionally when we did a seesion on Logic 8 at a friend's studio but never on our own previous system using Logic Pro 7. The only resolution is to quit and restart Logic. It makes Logic frustrating to use and also completely unreliable for live use.
Is this a known issue? Is there any solution?
Many thanks,
JH

I have pinpointed the problem: as soon as I install LE8 after Garageband '09 on Mac OS X 10.6.1 the installation of GB is messed up. I appears that certain files conflict with each other. I will try the reverse: installing LE8 first, then GB'09.
