MacBook Pro Speakers have a 'start' click. How can I disable it?
Hello all,
It seems that my MacBook Pro Speakers make a 'start' noise, when they have to 'play' a sound from absolute silence. Why is that? This has become extremely annoying, especially when I get notifications from Adium every now and then. Any workaround on this?
Thank you in advance.
It is quit possible that one of your speakers has become defective. A had a similar issue with my previous MB, brought it to the Apple Store and the genius determined that i need to replace one of my speakers and sub.
If you are still covered, i would advise you to get it checked out.

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee.
You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s. -

In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
How can I type using the Apple Symbol font? I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

My Macbook Pro will not boot up. How can I get to the time machine back up?
When I turn on my Macbook Pro, it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning beach ball and stays there. I use Time Machine with a Seagate external harddrive to back up my files. I at first thought recovery meant using Seagates's Replica software, so I followed the instructions, inserting the recovery CD and booting up to the C drive. The Seagate tecnical support person informed me that I was in error and that because I was using Time Machine, the Replica recovery CD would not be useful to me. Now I have two problems. I can't boot up, and I can't get the Replica CD out of the C drive. So I have several questions. How do I remove the CD? There doesn't appear to be a place to use the old paper clip method. Once I've removed the CD, how do I reinstall the OS? I don't seem to have a hard copy of Mavericks that should have come with this laptop.

Restart, hold the mouse button down as it boots, it should be ejected.

Lets take this step by step…
Once the disk is ejected see if 10.9 can boot normally.
If that fails let us know what happened.
Power off & disconnect your Time Machine disk and any other external disks just for now (so we know it is safe & not causing this issue).
Reboot & hold alt - it will take you into the 'boot picker' it will list all available boot disks. Make a note of how many disks appear and what the names are - let us know here.
You could try picking the 'recovery partition' if available. That should eventually show you a screen where you can select Disk Utility in the list of options…
In Disk Utility select the 'boot disk' – this is usually the item above 'Macintosh HD' (or whatever your boot disk is called).
Select the 'First Aid' tab
Repair any disk damage that is reported via 'verify'. Then select the 'Macintosh HD' & repair the permissions too.
Recovery mode explained…
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you have no recovery partition you can use 'Internet recovery mode' (Command+Option+R at startup) - this downloads enough to repair & install 10.9. Try to use an ethernet connection for the internet - it can be many times faster & more stable than wifi.
Once that completes reboot, hold alt & select your main boot disk (maybe Macintosh HD) if it is available.
The recovery partition can also be used to download & install 10.9.3. However you should probably see what state the Mac's boot disk is in. It's possible that erasing & reinstalling is the only option. If you go down this route you can restore the Time Machine backup, but it's better to see if it can be fixed first. -
My Macbook Pro hard drive got locked. How can I unlock it?
My Macbook Pro hard drive got locked. I have replaced the drive with a new drive. I put the old drive in an external case. How can I unlock the old drive to get my pictures off and put on the new drive. I can see the drive but I cannot get to the iPhoto files because it is locked. Is there an easy fix?
How did the drive get locked? That doesn't JUST happen for no reason. The only way to unlock it is to put it back in to the Mac it came out of and UN-LOCK it.
