MacBook makes repeated beeping noise when attempting to turn on?

My MacBook ran out of battery. When I went to power it on it makes a loud repeating beeping sound and will not power on. Anyone have any ideas or heard of this problem before?

  • Why does my macbook make a funny noise when I open it?

    After my macbook pro has been on the charger for some time & I open it up, it will make a funny noise & the screen will be blue with a bar on it.  Takes a little bit before I can use it,  Does anyone know what is wrong?

    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it.

  • Macbook pro 2008 beeping noises when base of laptop is not on flat surfaces. Also typing randomly zero's, it think maybe something is loose. Anyone heard of this before?

    I bought it refurbished a couple of years ago, been fine in genral. Last couple of months i noticed when different preasure is placed on the bottom of the laptop it is beeping very loudly until i find a flat enough position for it to sit on. Along with this it types zeros into anything i am writing.
    Any one had problems likes this or think of a reason for please help me.

    My first guess is your battery is swollen. Do you notice any distortion of the bottom part of the case?
    2008 MBP has a battery that is user replaceable, so try running the MBP without the battery using the AC adapter.
    If in fact a swelling battery is the culprit, the only real solution is to replace it.

  • Connected Mbox to Logic Exp 8, makes repeating Beeping noise

    I connected my Mbox as audio interface, to my new version of Logic Express 8.  It shows up as Mbox 'demo', and there is now a beep sound that repeats every 30 seconds. What needs done to fix this?
    (I have not used the Mbox with this computer before. This newer computer is a Mac Powerbook OSX 10.7.5. I've used the Mbox only with my previous mac g4 to run interface with Protools which I've used for 7 years now with no issue.)
    It interacted fine with the Logic software and recorded the audio in the test I just did nicely, Audio is good and everything. Just need to get it out of demo mode and stop the beeping sound and I'm up and running.

    This sounds very odd.  Have you tried using Mbox with GarageBand or some other DAW?  Have you updated your Mbox driver?  http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/download/Mbox-Drivers

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

    3 beeps = no good banks. You will have to go to the Apple Store for immediate service. If you would rather do it yourself, go to https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do.

  • My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

    My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

    It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert  the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it  a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

  • Grey screen and makes a beeping noise...

    Hi,
    My ipod nano seems to have went on the blink. It jusat comes up with a grey screen and when I try to do the toggle and two buttons at the same time it shuts down but then when it comes back on makes a beeping noise and reverts back to the grey screen.
    Can anyone help please?!?

    Sometimes this is a result of a bad USB cable.  Try plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged/faulty USB cable.
    Have you tried other USB ports as well?

  • MacBook makes new whoosh sound when opening

    MacBook makes a new sound when I open the cover..... Like a woosh, which it never used to do before.  Is there any way to turn off?

    I sent my MBP13 to Apple for repair. The tech indicated that the hinges were lubricated and tightened....and the sound still exists. Atleast I have it documented in the event there is any type of failure. Candidly I'm guessing that one of the magnets is loose as the noise does not occur when the laptop lid is closed.
    If this was my MBP, I'd return it and ask them to fix it correctly, and if they can't, ask about a replacing it (I would miss it while it was gone, but I'd still be able to work on one of my other Macs. If you can't afford the time without it, your situation might be different; obviously that's your call.)

  • I have a power PC that makes abunch of noise when plugged in but the power light just blinks when I press it and shows no graphics wht is wrong

    Click here for information; if the computer beeps three or fewer times, remove and reinsert the computer's RAM. If it beeps four or more times, it needs to be repaired. If it's a G5, it will ignore RAM modules that aren't part of a matching pair.

  • Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

    Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
    I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

    I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design!  It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product.  There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad.  I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone  (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating.  I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad.  The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise  wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon.  Failsafe user experience?

  • Satellite A660 - Beeping noise when CPU isn't loaded

    Hello, I have another problem with my new Satellite A660-1FL.
    I replaced the built-in Hitachi hard drive against the much quieter Toshiba MK3265GSX. Now I always hear a beeping noise when the processor is not loaded. This is particularly annoying when I read documents. I have read in the internet that the problem occurs with the C4-state.
    How can I solve this?

    Hi, i don't have the original HDD anymore. I had installed the recovery image on the new HDD before, but it was the same problem. The sound is even louder if the notebook is battery operated. Do you think this is a case for warranty?
    I would say better it is a high pitch noise.
    The problem can be the capacitors near the CPU as it is described here: http://bit.ly/2GS1PI
    The same problem with A660 was discussed here: http://bit.ly/9LcuFs and with a Tecra S11 here:http://bit.ly/bjkwxS
    It seems that many of people have the same problem, I noticed the noise on all notebooks with a Intel CPU that I bought in 2010. It was Sony F11 and ASUS PRO62.
    I returned the notebooks because of this problem. I'am really dissapointed, it seems that all the notebooks with Intel CPU produced in 2010 have the same problem, and I do not know what should I buy. Maybe notebooks with AMD CPU don't have the noise.
    The peeple who noticed the noise are usually up to 30 years old, and better with an SSD.
    I had really silent A210 notebook, if the fan was off, but the SSD can also have the high pitched noise. That are these capacitors http://bit.ly/9J6X4M.
    If you have luck you don't have the noise.
