My hard drive is doing a strange sound all the time for a week now, it's not like a clicking noise, it's something else, anyone has this problem too?

Hi guys, my macbook pro is doing a strange sound, not a clicking noise like other users could have, I don't have any apple center closer than 2hours drive so if somebody had this problem too and solved it it would be great!

It could be dying, I would copy my users data folders (Music etc) off to a storage drive (not timemachine) as soon as possible.

  • Does e17 lock up all the time for everyone, or just me?

    Every time I install e17 it locks up X on me frequently. It doesn't do it when it's just idling, but I feel like if I click too much or too fast, it'll freeze on me.
    It's very frustrating because it's like this every time I install it, which is about once a month, because I really want to use it.
    And this happens on the first run, where I haven't even loaded it up with modules. I'll be changing the theme and it'll lock up on me.
    A lot of people say that it's been super stable, but not for me.
    I do have an Nvidia card with the latest proprietary drivers and I always install e17-svn from the community repos.
    What's the deal, E?

    Is Bling less crash-prone now?  Back when I was using E, that critter would crash E many times daily.

  • I moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive. It re installed itself on the PC and there is now no more room. I cannot sync with the external version. My wife has is a user on the same computer and we have the same iTunes account. Can I uninstall

    I moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive due to lack of space on the PC. I uninstalled it from the PC at the time to increase space. My wife is a user on the computer and shares the same apple account. I discovered that iTunes was back on the PC hard drive when I tried to sync my iphone and it would not for lack of space on the PC. If I uninstall I tunes from the PC where I am the user will it affect my wife's itune account which is still on the PC?

    Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
    If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

  • Laptop starts up but screen is black(does​n't happen all the time) PLEASE HELP

    I own a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5966. It's 4 years old and for the most part I haven't had any problems up until recently. The first problem was it started to say "battery not detected" and saying my battery was in poor health and to replace it. Well I did replace it but it still continues to say not detected, but that is the least of my worries. I will say my AC adapter isn't the original as I had to replace that about 2 years ago.
    One day while using my laptop, the screen just went completely black. I turned it off and tried to turn it on and nothing. Looked up some stuff on Google which said to clean out the dust, which I did. I also took the battery out and held down the power for 60 seconds. Well after doing that it seemed to work fine until the screen went black again. I did it again and it seemed to work. But sometimes when I turn the computer off, and try to turn it on, I can here it come on but screen stays black. If I wait a while it will work though.
    Well it keeps doing this on and off. Other issues I have had is 2 times a blue screen came up. Once it was too quick to read but another I did have a chance to read it and it said something about "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH." Also about 2-3 time I've gotten a screen that said "Interactive Services Detection- The program is no longer requesting attention...." while online but I can always hit "return now" and everything is good. And then recently when I went to turn my laptop on a screen came up saying "Windows loading screen" but it froze up and never loaded anything so I had to hit the power button to restart.
    I know it's not good to hit the power button to restart but it's the only way I can get it to turn off because whenever the screen is black or on the blue screen, the keyboard doesn't work at all. I would like to mention sometimes I have to restart because the keyboard will freeze up and nothing will work. The keyboard is brand new, I just recently replaced it but I know I installed it correctly. Everything else is also correctly in place as well.
    I've ran anti-virus and malware scanners both in safe mode and not. Everything says it's good and shows no viruses or anything. I also did a memory diagnostics and it too came back good. I didn once mess with the toshiba diagnostics and it said my harddrive failed but I read on Google that the Toshiba diagnostics tool isn't reliable and many get a harddrive failure when it's not the case.
    I would really like to know what could be wrong with my laptop. I haven't took it anywhere to be looked at because I don't want to pay $50 to find out it will cost $300 to fix. I'd much rather see if I can find out what's wrong online before having to take it anywhere.

    New Drive installed. disc get here. reset to day via disc. Started up ran good for about 3 days. BLUE screen.... reboot all was good. Then it started to happen more often..  Now about a Month later. The display will just go black. you have to let it set hours with battery out and power cord off. reboot all is good. NOW display won't come on. hit power it clicks and fan comes on and nothing.  Hooked up to ext  did the FN F5 and still nothing. I put the olg drive back in. it would at least light the screen. Nothing..  Anybody have any ideas???
    Thanks all...

    In the future if you could, just start your own thread just to make things easier to keep track of.  If you did and didn't get a reply (wait at least a few days), then you can bump so it goes back to the top.  OK, sermon over
    When you get a blue screen, what was the error message.  One of the first things I do when I get a computer is go into the settings and disable the restart on system failure so it doesn't go into a boot loop and I can read the error message.  I don't know why that is set that way on default.
    If you hooked up the computer to an external display and still not getting anything, then it suggests its not a bad display. 
    Can you get into the bios?  Can you access the recovery partition?  If you have another working computer available, can you connect your new and/or old drive and do a diagnostics on to see if there are any errors?  Besides the new hard drive, have you done anything else to the computer like upgrade ram, etc?  You can also try and reseat the ram. 
    If you can get to the recovery partition, you can try a system repair.  Of course this will only work if the problem is software.  If it is a hardware issue, you have to try and isolate it (i.e., drive, ram, battery, etc.).

  • Mac Mini (late 2012) static or chirping sound all the time

    Just set up a brand new Mac Mini over the weekend (Mountain Lion). Constant sound of static (or chirping) comes from the unit. I've eliminated the monitor, speakers, backup drive, etc. Also separated all devices. I had it down to just the power supply and I still get the static sound. No static sound if the Mini is powered down completely. Has anyone had this experience? Suggestions? Thank you.

    Not sure I understand, but all devices are in a 3200 joule surge protector, grounded outlet. I did have memory upgrade from 4GB to 8GB at time of purchase. Possible problem with seating of RAM upgrade? Thanks for your help...

  • Strange rendering all the time - not only on Firefox.

    The image has strange strypes all over it and they look a little like normal screen for a short time. It happend after I sent my laptop Acer Aspire 4745 Z - 4754. Thanks for your attention.

    hello, since this is not a problem related to firefox, we probably won't be able to help you there. you'd have to contact the manufacturer's support for your device (also try to update your graphics drivers). thank you for your understanding!

  • I am leaving firefox for Mac Version 1602 as it freezes and crashes all the time, for Google Chrome which does not. I do this with regret

    I give up. I was ok with version 16.0 and firefox 16.02 was automatically downloaded to y Mac Book Pro Version 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I would like to go back to Firefox 15.0. How can I do this? If this cannot be done, I will uninstall Firefox 16.02 and only use the Chrome and Safari Browsers. I have been using Firefox for more than 10 years and I leave Firefox with great regret. You simply cannot compete with Google Chrome.

    Have you tried to Reset Firefox? that will likely fix many of your problems with Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • Why does the Apple password banner pop up all the time for me now? It happens every 2 or 3 minutes.

    For the past couple weeks whenever I am using my phone the banner that pops up for you to type in your password pops up on the screen. It happens everytime I am using the phone, many times a day. Not sure if this is a bug or possible a hack.? I was thinking of resetting the phone but don't want to deal with the hassle and my mind worrying about losing information and media. Thoughts?
    Thanks

    I looked into both these ideas. I was signed in and then signe out and signed back in, didn't fix it. All apps are looking like they are not updating, and all apps are said to be up to date when visiting the app store.

  • I have an iPhone 5 right now.. But the wifi does't say active all the time. It would be on for a while, then disconnect. My power button also doesn't work at times.Sometimes it wakes up the screen, but only when I press it on one side.

    I was also wondering if I could take this to the apple store to get it fixed. If not get it replaced?

    If you arrive without an appointment and all appointments that were available at that time and following that time are booked and there are no no-shows with any of the apointments, you will be out of luck. You might get lucky with no appointment scheduled at that time you arrive and there are no other walk-ins without an appointment in front of you, but best to schedule an appointment.
