Mac book pro making noise,we deleted most programs noise persists

Mac book pro has been making noise for some time,we deleted many programs that might affect it.Still problematic.Thoughts?

Noise makers on a MBP are the fan(s), hard drive and DVD drive.  Run an Apple hardware test and see if it picks up any problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
Open the MBP and see if there is and dirt or debris inside, particularly in the fans.  If so, clean it out.
If no success on the afore mentioned, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
Ciao.

    How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop

    A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

  • Why is my Mac Book Pro making a lot of fan noise?

    My Mac Book Pro suddenly began making a lot of fan noise, I did not install any software nor have I been using it excessively. I don't know what to do to make it silent again! Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Down load from the Internet and install iStat pro.  It will record the internal temperatures and fan speeds of the MBP.  Also open Activity Monitor and set it to show 'All Processes' and '% Cpu' to display values from high to low.  When your MBP makes the noise, take screen shots of both and post them for evaluation.

  • Mac Book Pro Fan Noise

    I just got my Mac book Pro but for some reason when I run graphic intesive apps the fan makes a noise, it almost sounds like a rattle snake is in my laptop. Anyone else having this issue?

    you should post this in the ''Using your MacBook Pro'' Forum and not here in the ''The MacBook Pro Display'' Forum

  • Help with mac book pro fan noise

    Hi i am having trouble with my mac book pro, the fan noise is too loud. even when i am working on only word documents. Please help

    Here we go:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Hope this helps

  • Mac book pro makes noise like a lawn mower

    every now and then my mac book pro starts to make a noise that resembles the sound of a lawn mower in the neighborhood coming through the open window.this lasts about 5 minutes,then the book is back to normal.
    can i stop this somehow?do i have to be concerned?

    You might download the widget "iStatPro" from the Apple site and look at it when the noise occurs. See what your fans are doing, and see if you can associate the noise with the fans and the internal temperature of your computer. The fans in my MBP idle at around 2000 RPM. If yours do the same, run at about the same speed, and then speed up for a while if the temperature goes up, then they are probably working as they should. You could post back with some actual speeds and temperatures if you want to verify that what you are experiencing is normal.
    If, however, the fans are operating at very different speeds, or one isn't operating at all and the other is going very fast, then you could have a problem with either a fan or a thermal sensor. If you think you might, run the Apple Hardware Test--it will give you an error message if there is a problem.
    If it turns out that the noise is not associated with fan speed, then I would start to worry about the possibility that it might be coming from the hard drive, and back up all your data ASAP. And post back or call Apple if you're under warranty.
    Good luck!

  • Why ismy mac book pro making a beeping sound every few minutes?

    My mac book pro 13" is making a strange sound evefy few minutes.  It sounds like a rock being dropped in a pond. I replaced a faulty hard drive recently and I wonder if it is related to that issue.

    A rock being dropped in a pond is not a beeping sound. Which one is it?

  • Late 2011 Mac book pro fan noise

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you note that the fans aren't working properly, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Mac book pro won't install or uninstall programs

    I have a mac book pro, running OSX 10.7.5.  When I try to instill Java, or any program for that matter,  it takes me to the download screen, asks me for my password and then does nothing.  Will not install.  I tried to uninstall a program as well and the same thing happens.  Won't install or uninstall.  Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Buying a Mac Book Pro in China.  Will english programs be any problem?

    I am an American living in China. I want to purchase a Mac Book Pro but I don't read chinese characters.
    Will it be easy to switch my settings to English?
    Will I be albe to install software that is not from China. For example I plan on using Logic Studio. I bought the software when I was in the US. Will I be able to install it on my Chinese Mac Book Pro or will I need to purchase a chinese version?

    Hi mhpapp & welcome to the forums
    You'll be fine. I've purchased Apple brand computers there with no OS issues.
    You can set the OS language to English or whatever and be happy. You can also elect to re-install the OS, at which time you can set the language. Note that some of the apps may only be in Chinese, in which case you may want to pick up a US distributed copy of SL.
    LS will work fine. Be sure that the fonts and language you want are specified in System Preferences...see languages and keyboard.
    I'd also advise welcoming most any opportunity to work with Chinese on a computer since you can obviously expect to find Chinese OS & apps on computer all around you. Look at it as an opportunity to learn the language.

  • Reporting of the Mac Book Pro whining noise issue - how?

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro is emitting a noise when the processor is idle. It's got all the updates and the problem did not go away.
    I was looking at the Apple Support site and could not seem to find a place to report this issue. Any idea where I should go?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    You may want to call Apple customer care and explain your problem. It is recognized now by Apple and they are issuing logic board updates.
    Some people report having more success by going to a brick and mortar Apple store and making an appointment at the Genius bar though.
    It is really your choice.

  • My Mac Book Pro makes noises

    Does anyone know if it is normal for a mac to sound like a motorboat? It's not as loud as a motorboat... but it has the same general type of sound. I guess a better way to describe it is a little more than a constant purr. Any ideas?

    WELCOME!http://i29.tinypic.com/2ef7yfn.gif!
    "Does anyone know if it is normal for a mac to sound like a motorboat?"
    No it is not normal.
    Is the "sound" coming from your fans or HD? For fan noise see the following KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 Apple Portables: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    For HD noise check out the following:
