MacPro 1,1 clicking sound (not HD)

I have an odd problem with my MacPro 1,1 that I hope someone has an idea about.  It makes a clicking noise when rebooting -- and only rebooting -- and then the reboot stalls at a grey screen until I power it off and back on.
I thought, logically, that it was a hard drive problem.  I pulled all the drives, put in a new one and reinstalled Lion from an external drive
However, the clicking was still there.  So I tried pulling the new drive and rebooting with only the external Firewire drive connected (it has an SSD in it, so no moving parts) and it still made a clicking sound without any drives attached
What else in a MacPro could cause the clicking sound and a reboot to hang?
Thanks,

Thank you for the replies.
I have two copies of the HD on external FW drives, and I keep ALL my personal files on external USB drives, so it is not a problem if the HD fails.
Interestingly, though, the problem cannot really be called intermittent, because when I start the computer from a complete off, it is guaranteed that it will click repeatedly and the rainbow will spin at the same time for a few seconds...
and if I then restart the computer, it is "guaranteed" (based on daily use during the past several months) that there will be no clicking or rainbows whatsoever.

  • Yoga 11s won't power on - clicking sound not from hard drive

    Looks like I'm two months past warranty, and my yoga 11s is not powering on.  Symptoms are as follows, would really appreciate someone's help!
    When pressing the power button, the light comes on
    A light clicking sound starts
    The fan does start spinning
    That's it... screen does not come on
    When you unplug the charger, a loud single beep results
    I took apart the laptop to try to pinpoint the sound, and I believe it's coming from somewhere around the processor.  Could it be the heat sink?  It's a solid state drive and I don't think the clicking is coming from there...
    Any one else have this problem?  Any suggestions?!

    I had a similar problem and the screen was blank. Not sure if this will help. I searched for a day for solutions but in the end it was the screen that was turned off. I simply pressed the brightness button and one of the other screen buttons on the keyboard and it was alive.

  • Hard Drive is not spinning up making rhythmic click sounds

    Hello,
    My Hard Drive is not spinning up and making rhythmic click sounds. I charged it completely. Tried to reset it but this results only in the Folder-Icon with a support link. It can not be connected to my computer anymore via USB. It is not recognized as a external disk anymore. I tried the disk mode too. nothing helps.
    As I can't connect it to my computer anymore I can't reformat it.
    Any ideas besides throwing it away...?

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.

Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

    I purchased a Macbook Air 11" in January 2011. It has one key on the keyboard which sticks making an irritating clicking sound that I would like to get fixed. I took it into my local iStore but they were not at all encouraging, saying they doubt that Apple warranty will cover something like this, and also that the whole keyboard would have to be replaced as they don't do individual key repairs.
    This is very unreasonable to me. Firstly, the keyboard does work (is not actually broken) although the intermittent clicking sound of a single key is very irritating to me and I expect more from an Apple product than a flawed keyboard.
    Any thoughts, tips and insight on this greatly appreciated.

    Just wanted to conclude by saying that I did go to an Apple store and after supplying proof of purchase and verifying the warranty etc, I had my MacBook checked out by one of the technicians who (after finding that my machine was immaculate bar the sticky keyboard of course) they replaced the entire keyboard within a week.
    I was so happy with the helpful and prompt service and am now so happy with my new silent keyboard!
    Also wanted to add that the young guy who told me at the iStore that he doubted Apple would support this and guessed Apple likely say it was due to user damage was being a tool, and he was obviously assuming  that I had done something wrong to break my keyboard.
    This was my first Mac purchase and I was delighted to find that the support is genuine and not just a rumor... I have since gone on to purchase an iPad2 will probably buy the iMac too once my trusty PC needs replacing. I was never a PC hater and got on well with windows, and was actually reluctant to make the change - but so far so good :)
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Not booting, clicking sound

    So yesterday I came home, and the computer was in sleep mode which is normal.  I clicked the mouse as I always do to do some work but nothing happened.  So I rebooted the whole thing.
    I came back after supper to find my iMac off.  I did not turn it off.  I turned it on, heard some clicking sounds (4-5 sequences) and the Apple sign on sound happened but the screen remained white, not even the boot icon came on.  Instead, i have an image of a folder with a question mark on it.  It won't even boot in safe mode using the command + R key...  I am a busy photographer I need to see if this can be fixed!  Also freaking out a little 

    Sounds like a crashed HD, take it into your local Apple Store or AASP. Once the HD has been replaced (if that's what it is) then restore from your Time Machine backup.

  • MacBook will not turn on, quite clicking sound when connected to power

    I cleaned my MacBook with a damp cloth and now the MacBook will not boot. the first time I turned it on after I cleaned it. it turned on and the screen came on the grey apple loading screen, went away for a minute when I came back it had turned itself off.
    Now when I press the power button it will not do anything at all, nothing turns on it is as it is dead. I have left it outside in the sun for a couple of days incase any water got into the machine but it still will not turn on.
    When I connect the power cord to the MacBook the is a faint clicking sound coming from it.
    This machine is about 3 years old so it is out of warranty.
    Any suggestions to what it could be ?

    This same thing just happened with mine - the clicking sounds like it's coming from the left speaker. I tried an smc reset and also took a look at the logic board to look for anything I might notice. What was the outcome for you - any info would be very helpful!

  • My computer is will not boot up. INstead its making a clicking sound and in the middle of screen picture of a file with a question mark. What does that mean?

    Does anyone know what's wrong with it? not booting up. instead of it a picture of a file appears with a question mark on it in the middle of screen?

    Sounds like abad hard drive. The clicking sound is coming from the HD. The folder with the question mark means that your computer can't find the statrup disk or the hard drive.
    Boot your computer using the install disc and check if Disk Utility can recognize your HD. If not, then it needs HD replacement. If you have AppleCare or within the 1 year warranty, then replacement should be free from Apple. Check the nearest Apple Store in your area.

  • Clicking sound and MBP does not boot

    Two months ago, I upgraded to a MacBook Pro, which today suddenly failed to start. When it happened, I had woken it from sleep and started up EyeTV through its USB-powered antenna. The programme started up normally then the screen froze and the spinning ball appeared. I had to switch off the computer by pressing the main switch for 10 seconds, but when I switched it on again I only could see the grey screen. Suddenly, a light, repeated but irregular clicking sound was clearly audible under the left hand back side below the screen. I found a picture of an opened MBP on the web and it seems that this is not the location of the hard disk but there is no way to start up the computer again, not even from a CD. I cannot fathom why this happened since I never had a similar problem but I am worried that the Eye TV antenna, which has a magnetic foot, might have been too close to the computer, and has altered something inside the machine. As I am currently not close to a Genius help area or even in a country with easy access to an Apple Help Desk, any idea on how to solve this is welcome. Thanks!

    Hi,
    That sounds very encouraging. I was once able to get it into target disk mode as well, but I can't remember whether it was with the startup DVD in it or not. With the startup disk I can do all the technical check stuff, except anything that requires me to use the HD, which the MBP does not recognize anymore. Can you describe more in detail what steps you took to get it into target disk mode, I mean sequence of events: first connect the two MBPs by Firewire, then start the second MBP, then the first one in Target Mode by holding T when starting up - or in another sequence?
    I still believe that something substantial must be wrong with the machine and will give it into repair even I can manage to start it, but it would be divine if I could simply get my data off the HD. Please let me know if your surface scan surfaces anything.
    Just out of interest, what does "to send me a box for a repair" mean? In Europe, we have to bring the machine back to the Apple shop in person...
    Thanks, Alex

  • IPod is making weird clicking sounds and not responding...

    I dropped my IPod last night and it fell onto concrete. Of course.
    Right after - It froze on a list menu and would not respond to anything, including being plugged in to the computer. Now the screen is just going from the apple logo to the unhappy IPod picture, and its still making these crunching clicking sounds. Any ideas would be helpful thanks.

    i believe the hard drive has been jarred enough to no longer be functional. Unfortunately apple will not cover accidental damage even if its within warranty.
    The ipod sad face means that the hard drive is irreparable, If your ipod is within warranty you can go ahead and try to speak to an ipod tech support for some assistance in getting a repair... If it isnt, i heard about a site called www.iresq.com
    Theyre a third party repair service for ipods and apple equipment... however i dont know their credibility.
    I hope this helps, im sorry for your loss.

  • Keyboard clicking sounds or power cord sounds not working.  Mute is off.

    All of a sudden, the sounds when using the keyboard and attaching the power cord to charge the battery don't work.  I have checked and my iTunes app has sound and the mute function is off.  I've turned sounds off, powered off, turned sounds back on and powered off.  Can't figure out what happened.

    In spite of what you said about sounds not being muted, what you are describing is exactly what happens when SYSTEM sounds are muted. You also do not list which iPad you are using and which iOS you are running. If you have the iPad Air 2, you do not have a side switch so your system sounds will be controlled in the control center,
    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 or iOS 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • PXIE-1065 Chassis makes clicking sound and will not power up.

    Came in from the weekend to my few week old PXIe-1065 chassis making a clicking sound near the ac power cord and it will not power on. I removed all the cards from the chassis and it stops clicking, but as soon as I replace the controller (PXIe-8133) it starts clicking again. Is this an ac power supply failure in the chassis. I also noticed there was no filter elements over the fans in the rear of the chassis like my smaller (PXIe-1082) chassis. Could this have led to the failure?
    -Jeremy

    Hi uyt,
    There are a few troubleshooting steps to take here that might show where the problem lies. Have you tried any other embedded controllers in the control slot of this chassis? Do they show the same behavior? Have you tried that controller in your other chassis? Depending on which one the issue follows, I would be inclined to guess that part is damaged in some way and needs to be RMAed.
    In response to your suspicion: I would be extremely surprised if you were delivered a part without a physical component and many of our newer chassis do not have the fan filter you are referring to, so that is likely not the issue.
    Feel free to call in to our support line at 866-275-6964 to troubleshoot the system with one of our engineers before RMAing the device.

  • I use Garageband 09 to record voice overs via podcasting, female narrator noisy, but keep getting an intermittent clicking sound. It's not the metronome. I have a good quality external USB mic plugged in. Any ideas?

    I use GarageBand 09 to record voice overs via the Podcasting then Female Narrator Noisy utility. I have a good quality external mic plugged in. I keep getting an intermittent clicking sound on the audio track. It's not the metronome as that is turned off. I have to edit out the clicking after recording. I can see the spikes on the waveline. Any ideas how I can prevent this happening?

    Hi again and thanks so much for replying.
    The 'mic jack' on the old mic is both wide and large, measuring about an inch and a quarter from the base (where it comes out of the black encasing) to the edge of the tip (sort of cone shaped). As I can't plug this in directly to any port in the back of the Mac, I thought it might be possible to to buy some sort of adapter so that I could plug in the jack at one end, with a USB connector at the other end to go straight into the Mac. But I see from your comment that you are suggesting a smaller jack itself (i.e., large size jack to small size jack and then plug in to the small round port, instead of jack to USB port)?
    At the Mac shop I bought a USB adapter to connect up a second monitor (screen). I've just dug out the package and it's called a mini display port to VGA adapter. But back to the mic issue, I don't want to use the old mic really, I'm just trying to eliminate whether or not my usual mic, or its USB cable, is at fault and causing the clicking.
    I looked on Amazon for a suitable adapter but there was mention of these little gadgets having a sound card. As the Mac obviously has its own internal sound card, I couldn't see the point of another (exernal) one, unless it was actually required to convert the sound from input to output (playback) or something. One review said sound quality was lost but the person had a problem with his speakers, not a ticking sound while playing back recordings - which is obviously my problem.
    I do have a headset that I used to use for Skype. It has a pink and a green jack. I could plug one into the "headphones symbol' port and try recording again with Garageband. At least the jack is the right size. Again, this is just for the purpose of eliminating whether my good mic on a stand with the anti-popping sheild is at fault.
    While my Mac does have both inbuilt speakers (I don't need external ones) and an inbuilt microphone, the latter is not of a high enough quality for voice overs, hence buying an external mic etc. But whatever is causing the clicking or ticking is obviously affecting the quality of my recordings. As you can imagine, it is very time-consuming to edit out the ticking spikes and if the noise appears during speech, you can't edit it out at all.
    Please keep the suggestions coming. I am determined to get to the bottom of this for my sake and everyone else who is suffering from the same problem!

    for drops, accidents, spills, loss, or theft, purchase a TYPE of insurance called "inland marine insurance"
    roughly $30 per year for a device(s) with 0 deductible, used same for over 20 years, same insurance the pros use on their portable devices.
    very cheap, very useful insurance, most people dont know about same.

  • My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app.  I can not make phone calls.

    I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking.  I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left.  I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking,  Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app.  The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything.  Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed
