My iMac 2010 27" makes low noises EXCEPT when scrolling with my magic mouse.

It's like a low static electric noise but it stops when I scroll webpages and such with my magic mouse.

It's coming from inside the iMac and turning down/mute-ing doesn't change it and neither does it stop when I plug in headphones. It doesn't stop when I turn off the built in monitor.
The batteries are ok and no phone around. The sound is not like an interference sound. It's more like the sound the harddrive makes except not as loud and higher pitch (i guess).
The sound has been for a while. More than a month but not since I bought it.
Thanks for your reply!

  • IMac stuck and make laud noise....

    IMac stuck and make laud noise, when I try to do some heavy work on the Imac like converting HD file H264 to proRes and importing my pics to the Iphoto and more, the IMac just stuck and and make loops of laud noise, nothing help till I shut it off by holding the power button.
    what to do? this isnt normal, and I think the Mac getting too hot, but I am not sure its my first time using a mac and I am not sure I did the right choice any more.
    for years people told me I should move to a Mac, cause its more loyal, but it seems I have so much problems with it, not just this one here but all the rest are pinuts comparing to this big problem I have that it's stuck.

    Try rebooting it by holding the Lock button and the Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo shows up on the screen.
    This usually works when your device is frozen

    Remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it from side to side while holding it level (in the position it is in while in the printer). Re-insert the cartridge, restart (power cycle) the printer. Then restart the Mac and test.

    Check the Mute switch, which is on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons.

  • I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

    I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
    After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
    Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
    All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
    required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
    It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
    The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
    I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
    the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
    At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
    The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
    I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
    Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
    Thank you!

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

    I have an iMac with a Magic Mouse, if I want to upgrade my iMac to the OS X Lion, will I have to buy a Magic Trackpad?

    Expanding on what Barry said, Lion includes features specifically for trackpads, but it's by no means necessary to have one. A Magic Mouse will work just fine (as will any other mouse or trackball).

  • 20" iMac (white) Superdrive makes loud noise when spinning a disc

    When a disc is in the drive and it begins to spin, the drive makes a LOUD humming noise. The noise stops when the disc stops spinning. This has been happening since the first day with my new toy.
    Could it be that the drive will need replacing? It is still under warranty.

    i would call apple and if they don't have a quick fix make an apptmnt at the genius bar and take the thing in for a replacement. im having the same problem and it really is quite annoying. I really hope apple will replace it with a new drive, this is not what i intended on getting for spending this much money...

  • My iPhone no longer makes any noise even when it's on loud. Ringtones and message tones don't go off, it just vibrates.

    It will still play my music out of The speaker. But when I get a message or someone calls me it only vibrates doesn't make any noise. And if I try and watch anything on YouTube I need to put my headphones into hear it.

    Check the Mute/Silent Switch on the Side...
    Have a look in Settings > Sound...

  • Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

    I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose.  I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

    For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
    In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
    There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
    I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

  • When I select a local adjustment, how do I make the new adjustment panel scroll with the default panels

    In lightroom, in the Develop module. When I select a local adjustment for example the brush tool or the gradient tool, the adjustment panel for the particular tool comes up in the sidebar where I can make adjustments to these tools (shown in figure below).
    Now my question is with this adjustment panel, it seems to be overlaying on top of the other default adjustments (e.g. the "Basic panel" - the exposure, contrast etc.) and when I scroll down on the other adjustments, the brush tool or the gradient tool adjustment panel is always on top and does not scroll with the default adjustments.
    I would like to change the setting of this so that the adjustment panel is part of the other default adjustments in the develop module and scrolls with them,
    I know this is possible because I've seen videos online where this is the case and my lightroom on another machine does this.
    Would anyone know how would I change the setting for this?

    It seems to depend on the actual size of the Lightroom window. Just messing around with both LRCC and LR5 on my MBP 15" retina, with a 1920 x 1200 external monitor, and both Lightroom versions will happily scroll the Adjustments panel as well as the others, but only if the size (i.e. height) of the Lightroom window is below a certain level. So on the retina screen, when the display is set to "Best for Retina", the adjustments panel scrolls with the others. But if I change to the native 2880 screen resolution, and expand the LR window to fit, then the adjustments panel does not scroll.
    Similarly if I move LR to the external monitor, same thing, i.e. adjustments panel does NOT scroll when the LR window in maximised, but it does scroll when I lower the height of the LR window (seems to be round about the 1600 pixel mark)
    It's the same using LR5, and the same on the Windows platform. I suspect it's somehow based on the height of the adjustments panel in relation to the overall height of the LR window, i.e. the adjustments panel does not scroll when there's sufficient overall space in the right-hand panel to allow sight of the one or more of the other tools below. 

  • Null Pointer Exception when working with Custom Sql

    I viewed the video on adding Custom Sql and everything seemed to work fine with regards to adding it to my report. However, I get a null pointer exception when I add a field from the Custom Sql table to the report and try to run the report including if I try to View Sql. There doesn't seem to be a stacktrace that I can show.
    BTW... this was a work around for not being able to use Stored Procedures... I have killed 2 days now working on different ways to work around the Stored Procedure thing
    Thanks,

    Thanks!

  • Null Pointer Exception when working with editable tables

    We are using editable tables in various places in forms that are embedded in views in our application.
    A few weeks ago we have discovered that we receive an exception when first clicking into an editable cell (see below). I can't exactly pinpoint when this started happening (might have been when updating from Luna SR1 to Luna SR2 but I am not sure) but I am certain that we didn't used to have this issue in the beginning.
    Is this something, others are also experiencing? Is this an issue of forms that use DISPLAY_HINT_VIEW (we don't have any editable tables in popup forms)?

    I experienced the same issue with editable boolean cells.
    Left mouse click events produce the mentioned Exception, which causes the mouse down event to be lost. The mouse up event is still fired though, thereby it's possible that the value of another cell in the same row is updated as the contextColum, which is set by the mouse down event, hasn't been updated.
    Right mouse click events work as expected.
