Modem noise on 2 week old Chromebook 2

Just purchased a Chromebook 2 a few weeks ago. For the past week or so it has been making this "old modem" noise like it is trying to establish a modem connection. This is while it is connected to wifi. As far as I know this device does not have a modem. Why would this noise be happening or what is causing it? Thanks for any help!

Harddrive noise on a week old 120 classic

So I got the 120GB classic about a week ago, and noticed tonight the harddrive is making a kind of clicking noise when songs are being played. I noticed it when the iPod was connected to my computer and I was listening through itunes.
Anyone have a definite answer as to weather or not this is normal? I find it a bit annoying when listening to quieter songs, but I suppose it does actually have moving parts, thus explaining the noise.
One other thing I was wondering: is it bad to leave your ipod in the car during cold weather? I bought the ipod to use in the car, and with winter coming, I was wondering what the general view is on that.
Thanks to anyone who can help with any of this!

Hi there, thanks for the quick answer.
Although I am glad there is nothing wrong with my unit, I am disappointed about the noise. I had a 4th gen 20gb and I do not remember the noise being so noticeable. You would think with newer technology they would be able to do something about this.
***** about the car thing too lol, I really did not give that any thought at all before I bought it...guess I will just have to remember to put it in my pocket or something in the coming months.

2 Week old 17 MBP not displaying video

Hello,
I am a tech support guy, and web developer, at a higher ed University. Anyway, I just recently got a new MacBook Pro about 1.5 weeks ago. It was a 17 inch MacBook Pro, 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB drive.
Yesterday, for no reason it would not display any video. I could use ctrl+command power and hear the HD making noise but the video would not display. Every 10 minutes or so I would see a flicker and see my desktop picture for a half second. I did research on the apple support area and I ended up reinstalling the OS thinking it was a software issue... something about high CPU usage being the problem. I doubted that was the problem, but I took the hour to reinstall from the 2 DVDs. It worked during the boot from the CD, so I thought that maybe it was the software thing. After doing updates I tested it and it worked, I put it to sleep and put it away. I pulled it out tonight and it worked for an hour then I downloaded one of my old excel files from online and as I clicked on the excel file my screen, as best I can describe started to look like it was dithering... then it faded to black. It did the flickering for a few minutes, then just black... yet again, no video. I could restart and restart and try everything and all I would see is a flicker and a flash of video every few minutes.
At this point, what do I do? It was not even two weeks old and I do have AppleCare. I installed Parallels and VirtuaDesktops, Office and Adobe CS3 and pretty much everything else was normal software. None of that was running or open when all of this happened, besides maybe Office starting to launch.
I hate to send it back if it is just a software issue but I can't keep reinstalling the OS.

I will try. However, I am now seeing no video... not even after I reboot it and hear a chime and the hard drive spin... nothing. The screen is black but doesn't appear to be all of the way black. It is black but not the same as when the computer is off, there is a hint of a little light at the bottom of the display.
I wouldn't think that VirtuaDesktops would effect the computer that early in the restart, but I will try.
I deal with hundreds of Macs here at work and this is the first time I have seen something that has caused so much problems out of the gate.

Does Your Exchange Calendar Currently Show Events More Than 2 Weeks Old?

Quick question: Can you view any exchange calendar items on your Pre which you have created on your desktop and which are more than two weeks old as you read this post? I can't. After several hours of support chat and then an "elevation" to phone support, I was told by Palm telephone support that this was a new feature after Webos 1.2.1.
However, two things make me doubt that this is true:
1) Other Pre users on precentral.net report that they have installed 1.2.1 and they can still see exchange calendar events older than two weeks.
2) I noticed something really weird: I had deleted my exchange account and was re-adding it in an attempt to solve the problem. The account was syncing but I was watching my screen and it was displaying the monthly view of September, 2009. When the account was almost done syncing, I saw the calendar "flicker" a couple of times and when it did, I could see that there were all my grayed out September dates. Then it said that sync was complete and all events before 9/30/09 disappeared.
SO...I'm thinking that the data is actually in the phone but just not displaying on the calendar! That is really weird and would seem to be a true "bug" to me. For my job, I really need to be able to look back and verify what appointments occurred on what dates in the past. The Iphone and Blackberry users at my office that use the same exchange server can look back months and years at their old events.
If you are reading this could you please reply to let me know if this is a unique issue for me or whether others are having the same experience? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Joe

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Very similar issue here. I am syncing my Pre with Google Mail. Don't even ASK what a hassle it was to get my Entourage contacts into Gmail and have everything populate the correct fields. A freakin' NIGHTMARE.
That said, the syncing with synergy seems to work well, with one major drawback. No calendar entries older than two months. This renders my calendar virtually useless. What is the POINT of this stupidity. I am perfectly capable of deciding if I want to use my pre's storage for older entries.
Unbelievable. I really hope palm gets it's head in gear and starts supporting its loyal users. Much more of this, and I will jump to virtually ANY other smart phone.

Battery no longer charges to full capacity on 1-week old macbook

Just as the topic says; brand new macbook, one week old, charge stops at 95%. The magsafe does not connect itself very well either... here's the battery information from the system profiler:
Battery Information:
Model Information:
Serial Number: 9G01*
Manufacturer: DP
Device name: bq20z451
Pack Lot Code: 0000
PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 0201
Hardware Revision: 0002
Cell Revision: 0158
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 5553
Fully charged: Yes
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 5818
Health Information:
Cycle count: 1
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -18
Voltage (mV): 12335
Dunno what the rest of the information means, but clearly it says "fully charged" but "not charging..." I've been keeping it plugged in to not let the charge run dry, but I'm afraid if I somehow don't leave it plugged in I will end up having some week-and-a-half old macbook with zero batteries that won't run unless I plug it in.
a) Seems to me like a hardware problem, I think someone in my house must've dropped it, the magsafe slot seems a little misaligned. I've just switched over from PC on which I used to do some hardware repairs. Any way for me to take this thing apart and just sort of adjust it myself? Hopefully this is the only problem....
b) In the case I'm not able to do hardware work like that... is this covered under whatever warranty I have? I mean, it's only a week old... I had hoped the macbook would be at least a LITTLE bit resistant to such small damages... really seems fragile and prone to breaks, judging by the massive amounts of problems with the batteries on these forums.
Help, anybody?

Seems like a couple of things going on. First, don't worry about "not charging" when your battery is between 95% and 99%. The software actually prevents the battery from charging in that range, so as to minimize the number of discharge-charge cycles that accumulate on your battery. If you unplug for a while (letting it drain to, say, 90%) and then replug, the battery will start charging.
Second, have you done the initial calibration, as your manual instructed you to do in the first few days?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
Set some time aside and do that if you haven't.
Third, if you feel the MagSafe slot is misaligned, make a Genius Bar appointment and see what they think. If it is out, you may be able to get it repaired there while you wait.
Finally, this:

Keep in mind that Apple sells, literally, millions of computers every quarter. If 100, 500, even 1000 people show up here with a complaint, that represents a small, small fraction of actual Mac owners.

I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad. After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service. I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what a waste of money it is .

Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement. So are you telling me that their information is false. Also what should they have done. This problem has existed since i bought it.????? What should i do?????

I'm trying to share files from my old MacBook - I'm thinking I don't have the proper version of iTunes. How do I determine the version on my new iPad 2 - 2 weeks old?

I downloaded iFlashdriveHD, but the appropriate skins don't display. App asserts I must have iTunes ver. 9.1 or later. How do I determine what I have on a two week old iPad?
Just trying to do USB transfers from my black MacBook.

App asserts I must have iTunes ver. 9.1 or later.
Where are you seeing this?
The app is not telling you that you need 9.1 on your iPad.
It does not use iTunes on the iPad for anything.
I'm trying to figure the version on my iPad.
It is the version that comes with your specific iOS firmware version.
But again, it is irrelevant to the app.
If you just got the iPad, it (the iPad) requires iTunes 10.4 on your computer.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated. It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab. No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
Do a smc reset.
If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini).

TS1702 I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt. Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)? Thanks!

Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.
Regards.

TS1718 I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
