Loud noise, when idle, running and reading! WHAT GIVES!

So I bought myself a lovely mac, and I love it! But I have some problems with it. THE NOISE! I don't really understand the problem, the computer works fine, but is pretty loud. The foot is vibrating aswell...
Ado you have the same problem?

Your comment is so vague it's impossible to really troubleshoot. Contact AppleCare immediately (the number is in your owners manual) and they will help you get it fixed. If the machine is less than 10 days old and you bought it directly from Apple I'd recommend a replacement machine.

Loud noise when burning CD and will not burn DVD

I bought an iMac a week ago and have been trying to burn DVDs - from finder, toast, popcorn and i have tried different brand DVDs and +R & -R all to no avail. i get a error message everytime.
I can burn CDs, but it makes a really loud whirring sound (i mean unhealthy loud) throughout the whole burn process and then for a few minutes afterwards.
Has anyone else experienced these problems? It doesn't sound normal.

It's probably a media problem. I had a 100 pack of Verbatim CD's that vibrated and made a loud noise in mine. Like it was out of balance. They worked fine in other burners.
If another brand does the same thing, then I'd be concerned.

HP 34401A-When I run the Read Meas.vi, it has error if I do not turn off the data storage

When I run the Read Meas.vi, it has error if I do not turn off the data storage. The same thing happen when I run the App. Example. vi. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thanks alot.

Hi KL,
The Read Meas.vi is one of the subvi's in the App. Example.vi, so this problem is most likely the same problem in each case. From the help for Read Meas.vi:
Data Storage instructs the device to store the data to be sent to either the internal or external buffer. If TRUE (default), the VI stores data in the on mode. If FALSE, the VI does not retain data in the off mode. Use the off mode only with the average min/max operation when you do not need to retrieve data. You cannot configure the meter for external buffering in the off mode.
So the question is, are you trying to retrieve any data? If so, then as indicated in the above paragraph, you cannot retrieve data and have the data storage turned off. Good luck!
Logan S.
Yes, I need to retrieve data. So due to that problem, I cannot really get any data. I am not sure is that problem is due to the USB GPIB or not. But once I click on the click arrow, everying goes fine from initialise, measurment... once it comes to Read measurment, it has error (say somthing like: VISA Wait on Event for RQS.vi->HP34401A Read Meas.vi->Untitled 1) I have no idea like what it shows up.

Loud noise when skip to next song

Nano makes a loud noise when I switch to the next song. It happens with songs that I have lowered the volume on in iTunes. Is there a fix? Thanks.

You can't do that with iTunes. Believe me, I like that functionality, and I've tried. The closest thing is to have the mini player on top so you can click on the next track button with your mouse pointer.
There is a music player I like to use, however, that you CAN do it with. No pressure to use it though. It's called XMPlay and available free at un4seen.com. Reply again if you need me to walk you through that.

Loud noise when printing

print quality good but loud noise when printing. do printers need "oiling"?

Hello @mikeed,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that your 7500A is being rather noisy.
I would like to help.
Unfortunately, there is not way to 'grease up' the printers gears.
If the noise goes away when the product is on, and disconnected from the computer, there might be a connectivity problem. Use the following steps to isolate a connectivity issue with the computer.
Shut down the computer.
Turn off the product.
Disconnect the USB cable from the product.
Wait 30 seconds.
Turn on the product.
Print a self test report
Turn off the product.
Connect the product to a USB port on the computer.
Turn on the computer.
After the computer finishes booting up, turn on the product.
If you still hear the sound, connect the product to a different USB port on the computer. Check the functionality of the product.
If you still hear the sound, connect the product to a new computer.
Check the functionality of the product.
If the sound continues and the product functions normally, the sound is a normal sound.
When the product prints, the rollers, gears, paper feed, and carriage makes noise.
When you print in the Fast or Draft modes, the product makes more noise than when you print in the Best or Normal modes.
Check the following:
If the product did not print successfully, check for a paper jam.
Check that the product supports the paper you loaded.
Make sure the paper is loaded correctly, the trays are extended, and the paper guides are adjusted properly.
You can also try the following.
Remove and reinsert the cartridges to make sure that they are correctly installed in the unit.
Perform a hard reset.
While teh printer is powered on, unplug the printers power cord.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the printer.

Loud noises when scrubbing

Hi there,
I am getting really loud noises when scrubbing through the timeline. It only occurs when I have an mp3 underneath a series of other clips. Tgis has never been an issue until recently. I can mute the soundtrack to disable the noises, but this is not an ideal solution to work with. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

When to use and in what situations to use MR22

hi,
I understand the concept of MR22 as below. Please correct if I am wrong.
For price Control V - MR22 changes the MAP per material but I do not see change in total value of stock.
For price control S - MR22 does not change St price and does not change total value of stock.
I see accounting entry generated during MR22 - with both debit and credit to a P&L Account.
So I do not understand when to use and in what situations we need MR22.
Could you please explain.
Thanks,
GAN

Kindly check the below links

ITunes 7.0.2 Extremely loud noise when you move files in Finder

I could find only one thread that was close to what I'm experiencing:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3122307
Every now and them, while listening to my iTunes music, when I drag and move a file/folder, a sudden extremely loud noise occurs. This noise almost sounds like a speaker distortion and goes away after 1-2 seconds. As soon as this noise goes away, the music being played in iTunes comes back.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Any input would be appreciated.

I think I may be experiencing something similar. This just started today. iTunes 7.1.1, get a random annoying noise that plays into the music. Best description I can give is the noise the comp makes when it can't complete whatever task you are trying to do via pushing or typing on the keyboard. You no, just that real quick "thump". It only lasts for a second and is completely at random. Only occurs when I am playing music on iTunes. Clueless...

Loud noise when iMovie is launched.

Hello,
I've had my macbook for almost three weeks now and every-time i launch iMovie my Macbook makes a loud noise from the area where the CD drive is. It's done this since i first got it, so naturally i thought it was supposed to make that noise.
Only it doesn't sound to healthy and I'm starting to wonder if it's right.
The noise is hard to describe it's just a loud "fummm" noise that occurs when i launch iMovie and when i turn my computer on.
I am all up to date with my software update as well.
I was wondering if anyone else gets this noise? or what it could be?
Thanks for your help
Kate

Hello Steve,
Is this a known problem?
It is not a known problem with iSight. Here are a couple of things you should try.
First, try turning your speakers' volume off before sliding the button. Then turn you sound up gradually, and let us know if the problem still exists.
If you use an external microphone or speakers, you can also try disconnecting them to see wether they might be causing your problem.
Next, try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in How to Troubleshoot iSight. Be sure to include the checks to determine whether the problem is "application-specific" or "user-specific".
If I am correct that you have already tested both iMovie and Photo Booth, you were wise to test with more than one application. However, Photo Booth does not record sound, so that may be why you are not getting the noise with Photo Booth. Try some other applications that can record sound.
In addition to iMovie, any of the other video or movie clip applications from this list can record both video AND SOUND with your iSight. So can the apps linked in the "iSight as a surveillance or Nanny cam section of that page.
If you have it, QuickTime Pro is an easy one to use with your iSight.
Some clip recording applications, like Gcam, are free.
Others, like WebcamTweaker, offer free demos that you could use to test if they give better results than iMovie.
These tests will let you determine whether your problem is in your iSight itself or is an iMovie problem, and they may help you fix the problem while you are doing the checks.
Please let us know what fixes your problem.
If your problem remains after the tests, please post back what you tried and include any new info that your testing provides.
Cheers,
Jim

Loud Noise When Recording, Portege M780

Hello,
I just got my portege a few days ago. When recording a video using the toshiba recording program, there is a very loud noise together with my voice in the recorded video. Would anyone have experience with this issue? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply . I've removed the cover when doing both tests I mentioned. The earphone I used is at good condition and I don't see any problem with it. I've also reinstalled the iOS as your instruction, but still no luck, the video sound still has noise.
I've decided to export the video file to my PC to see if I can hear sound better or not, as it's hard to hear and sound except noise with the external speaker on my iPhone even at maximum volume. On my PC I had to increased playback volume to 100%, set volume booster to 300% and applied noise reduction plugin (I use Media Player Classic on Windows 7) to get an acceptable sound (still noise but better than the original). If I don't boost the volume, it's hard to hear anything. I don't expect it to be crystal clear like the voice memo (using the bottom mic), but too much noise like this is really bad.
So I think it appears to be a hardware-related problem. I will later consider to send it to a phone repair shop or keep it and accept this bad video sound problem . In Vietnam we just have Apple authorized resellers but don't have any official Apple repair shops, that's why I'm still confused as I don't really trust those phone repair shops to handle my iPhone. Anyway, thanks again for your comment .
P.S: it maybe a little off-topic, but do you know any video recording app that using the bottom mic ?

Screeching noise when turn off and message comes

No. And what does "message comes" mean?

Loud noise when game loaded.

Hi,
I just bought Macbook Pro last week and installed windows via Boot Camp.
I ran a game called Warcraft and after 2 minutes, I can hear the laptop starting to speed up the fan. It is pretty loud and I am just wondering is it normal for a macbook pro to be like that when a game is running?
The laptop is quiet when using other applications.. only when I run the game in Windows mode.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there,
after 2 minutes, I can hear the laptop starting to speed up the fan.
This is a very good thing. When you use Windows the MBP uses the 9600GT video card, which runs faster but also hotter. When you run games on the machine this video card produces a lot of heat (along with the processor) and so the fans ramp up quickly to cool the machine. This is perfectly normal, acceptable behavior. No need to worry!

Loud Noise when burning CD?

My pro was purchased in January 2010, and I am wondering if it is normal to have a very loud noise while burning a cd? I just don't remember such a loud noise - humming/vibration type of sound before.
Thanks for any feedback

It's probably a media problem. I had a 100 pack of Verbatim CD's that vibrated and made a loud noise in mine. Like it was out of balance. They worked fine in other burners.
If another brand does the same thing, then I'd be concerned.
