MBP 17" makes noise when opening app or scrolling internet site - not harddrive (using SSD)

Hi,
my computer makes a strange noise - like a rumble sound (like a harddrive when it is writing / reading something). So I really thought it would be the harddrive and I did not pay to much attention to it since I wanted to upgrade it to a SSD anyway.
But after I upgraded the sound continued and it drives me nuts. I did already all resets (VRAM, PMU) but it is still there.
Other forums said it could be an interference with the soundcard and should be heard through headphones as well, but when I do so I can't hear anything through the headphones. It still comes from the computer case somewhere which is hard to locate since it is not very loud but still noticeable in a quiet environment. And still loud enough to bother me since I work without music.
In addition I thought it is something with the power supply.
I am using the 85W Power Supply that came with it. I even tried another one from my MacBook Pro 13" (60W) with same results and one from my old MacBook Pro 15" first Intel also (60W) the only difference with the one from the 15" that I hear a whining sound, high pitch noise coming from the upper left side of the case where the power supply is plugged in. I think that is just because it is an old plug.
Can anyone help me? Anyone having a similar Problem?
Thank You!

The ringer only makes noise when the earpiece is in. The settings are showing as correct

The ringer only makes noise when the earpiece is in. The settings are showing as on for both ringer and messages.

The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck. Try inserting the earphone plug a few times. If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

HT4623 My iPad mini does not make noise when typing

My iPad mini does not make noise when typing

Settings>Sounds>Keyboard Clicks>On. If the setting is correct, you may have muted system sounds.
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. 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 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.

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.

Greetings ascnephew8,
It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:

How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

Not very easy but it could be done.
If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

I actually need help but cannot find the answer. Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as

I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
Thank you.

Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?

TS4425 when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
For your immediate issue, have you update the Online Services in preferences?
Where are you in the program when you get the message "Not possible to initialize on-line services".
Are you in a country outside of the USA?
There certain online services that are just not available outside the USA.
Please review and consider and then, based on your details, we will consider what next.
Thank you.

My phone is 5 days old and does the exact same thing.
Just check the box that says do not show again when it pops up. That should Stop the pop ups all the time.
I am very dissapointed with my phone . My S5 has been very buggy, likes to freeze up , lags , drains battery in about 4-5 hours, loses data connection in "Good Signal" areas ( drops down to 3g and 1x data or says 4g lte but Web pages fail to load , say no data connection). Camera has also crashed on me twice already.

Turn on phone
Press home button twice
Close any open app pages that appear
Restart phone
This apparently resets the apps and the ring tone goes on when you receive a text.
Worked for me anyway.
