When listening to nano 6th gen with dock the audio book will make beeping noises and then switch to a song.

While listening to my 6th gen nano on a JBL dock the audio book will make beep noises and then swith to a song on my nano. Any idea? Thanks.

I saw your other post, but thought I would reply here as well. It is all about getting that headset seated all the way. If you can see any silver of the plug, it is not in far enough. Push harder. If it just won't go in, look in there to see if it is blocked. The bottom of the headset port is white, so if it appears all dark at the bottom... something is in there.

It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else. Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

Mac makes beep noise when I wake it up from sleep

Recently I upgraded the Ram on my macbook from 1 gb to 4 and now when I put it to sleep It wakes up becuase I can here everything on inside but the screen wont turn on. Every time this happens I have to boot it down but recently I woke it up and it made a BEEP noise and the sleep indicator light flashed with it. Again I had to boot it down. Help!!

There have been a couple posts recently of a similar nature: take the memory modules out and then reinsert, making sure they are seated all the way in the sockets. If not properly seated the system will not see them at all and refuse to even boot up.
You should also check to make sure they are the same type as the original memory modules, that is, the same speed, memory type, etc.
You did not say your source of the modules, so I will only offer OWC, http://www.macsales.com as a reliable source to compare and be sure they are the memory the Mac wants to see. You can also get information on the required memory type from http://www.everymac.com look for the type of Mac you have, and the year/model number to see exactly what memory your Mac uses.

Empty disk drive makes beep noise every 30 seconds

My disk drive makes a beep noise every 30 seconds. There is nothing in it. It sounds like it is looking for a disk or something, but the constant noise is irritating after awhile.

call the company that repaired it. this is abnormal behavior and they need to correct it, especially since you state it was just replaced.

Phone makes beeping noises when unlocking

Hi all, My phone made a beeping noise when unlocking the phone. I pulled it out my pocket and woke it up by pressing the button on the side, the screen remained black and it made one solid bleep, i tried it again and it beeped and nothing happend. The third attempt and everything is working fine. Has this happend to anyone else and did things start to go wrong after? My phone hasn't got wet (apart from rain with all openings covered) and lives it life in a leather phone case that covers the screen when closed with a protective flexiglass screen and hasn't been dropped (also no cracking in the screen) There isnt much more information i can give really. Sorry for bad grammar, it's pretty damm late.

Ipod 3rd generation makes beeping noise continuously + will not sync computer does not recognize ipod

touch screen doesn't work. the slider to unlock it won't move. it makes a beeping sound. then it displays a "now syncing" type of symbol on the front.

Sound like two separate problems.
For the beeping part, you might be interested in this discussion thread.
Regarding the not-recognized-not-synced part, make sure you restart your iPod:

Computer won't start after lightning storm, makes beeping noise

After a surprise lightning storm the other night I noticed my computer was making a weird noise. I shut it off and unplugged it for a minute or so. Now, when I try to turn it back on I hear the familiar startup chime, then the screen turns white and in about one second this same noise starts: beep, beep, beep in groups of 3 like a back up warning sound on a truck. I can't get any further than this. I've tried pushing the button to shut down and restart, held the button for several seconds, and also tried the keyboard keys for a forcequit. Can't think of anything else to do to get past the beeps and try to turn the computer on. (iMac intel with Mtn. Lion upgrade) Other computers and equipment in my house do not seem to have been affected, but the power did go off for about a minute and we had to reset some clocks.
Has anyone heard this noise before? It doesn't sound friendly!

Hello,
Sounds like the RAM went bad...
The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
Tone(s)    Description
1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat    No RAM installed
3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones    RAM does not pass data integrity check
1 long tone when holding down the power button    Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones    Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

Macbook makes odd noise

Hi all,
my macbook is like around three months old. But recently I keep on hearing a clicking sound every now and then. It's very odd. It is definitely coming from inside the machine and it is intermittent.
Does any one know what this could be?
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This is most likely the hard disk, and, if that is the case, it is bad news. Although this is rare in a new machine but after all, it is electronics. Suggest run disk utility and click verify disk. Or better still run the hardware test for your machine. Post back here and perhaps someone might have a better suggestion.

My macbook pro makes erratic beeping noises

My macbook pro makes a distinctive, 3 note beeping noise. It repeats at uneven intervals. I went to Console App and saw the following messages repeated at the exact times these beeps happened, so I imagine they are related. I just don't know what these messages mean, nor how to fix them. Can anyone help?
Here are the messages:
8/6/13 8:12:08.420 PM coreaudiod[116]: Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active
8/6/13 8:12:08.594 PM coreaudiod[116]: Enabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is inactive

MacBook Pro will not start up, and is making low-pitched beeping noises

I bought my MacBook Pro four days ago and it had worked perfectly fine until yesterday. Now when I try to power it up it won't, and perpetually makes low beeping noises (even when closed) in intervals of 3. Does anyone know what is going on?

It means the RAM does not pass the data integrity check. See here about beep codes: http://mediawiki.middlebury.edu/wiki/LIS/Apple_Computer_Beep_Codes

HT1349 My computer won't turn on. Makes a low beeping noise that I've never heard but the screen doesn't turn on. The battery ran completely out but I've had it plugged in for 2 hours. Any thoughts?

I have a MacBook pro. After running the battery down, the computer won't turn on. It seems to cycle on but then makes low beeping noises and the battery indicator light blinks along with the beeps. I've had the computer charging for quite awhile. Any thoughts?

UPDATE:
My computer now works but still has the loading bar at startup. Here is some advice for other mac users with the same problem. To get the computer to turn on again (but unfortunately still have the loading bar - you will need to fix this problem seperately) follow these instructions:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
This is called a SMC Reset and will hopefully get your computer back up and running (at least for the time being!)
Good luck to all those iMacers out there!

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure
