HT1338 why does my imac keep making a noise every 30 seconds when I am not using it?

My iMac keeping making a sound (sort of a clicking sound) every 30 seconds when I am not using it. It is very annoying; is therre a way to stop it?

Bring it in to service, and ask them to tell you what the noise is. Sometimes it just is the optical drive realigning itself. It could be the sign of a dying hard drive. Only they can tell the difference.

MacBook drive keeps making eject noises

Hi
A key fell off my macbook earlier this week so I took it in to get it fixed. I got it back and the superdrive doesn't work.. it just makes eject sounds and buzzes like trying to read a disk...
If I try to put in a disk it feels like there is one inside, but if i put it in while it makes the eject noise, it goes in and is readable but makes noise like something is touching the disk..
Anything I can do to fix it? Thanks.. this is beginning to look like the rev a MBP I had

Lets just say I opened it and there was an extra clip (the ones on the right side beside the superdrive that hold the case on i think) ontop of the drive putting pressure on it and taking that out lets the disks get in fine
No I never damaged it

My macbook pro does not eject dvd although making ejecting noise and tried all non-invasive suggested solutions.

The other night I watched a dvd in my laptop and once i pressed the eject button it made the noise as if it was coming out but it didn't.Now it keep making than noise everytime I attempt to eject but nothing comes out. Since then I tried all the 5 steps suggested on her but I have not been able to get it out.
My machine is 2 months out of warranty and only couple of weeks ago I had the hdd replaced at a cost as it had failed. I am not impressed with all the problems developing shortly after warranty expires.
if the superdrive has failed does any1 know how much it would cost to get it fixed? Any other solutions I could try?
Also I want to make a formal complaint who can I call and send an e-mail to?

See if there are some methods here you havent tried. These are the only phone numbers and email addresses that I am aware of that are made public by Apple: http://www.apple.com/contact/
Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

Ibook keeps making weird noises on the left side near the fan vent

Recently my ibook has been making motor noises as it heats up. Sometimes I can make it go away by lifting the front or back up a lottle bit. Last time I got the noise it wouold not stop at all! I tried shutting down and letting it cool way off.....after 2 hours I started again and the noise was there immediately and would not stop. Please help!!

Hi 744mom,
Welcome to the Discussions.
There are 2 things in that area with motors; the fan and the hard drive. With the noise present at a cold start I would think the hard drive might be going bad.
Launch Disk Utility (in Applications>Utilities) and highlight the drive on the left (upper most in the list). At the bottom of the window you'll see SMART status. Does it say Verified or Failing?

Optical Drive making eject noise

I have a brand new Satellite E205 with an optical CD/DVD drive.
I've found that it's very sensitive to movement as anytime the machine gets slightly moved or I'm working with it on my bed, it will repeatedly make an eject noise.
Is there a way to disable/turn off the optical drive? Is this behavior normal?

Hello,
I think there is no way to disable the dvd drive in your computer(you can check power option) Is it really an ejecting sound or like a ticking sound? You might enable the acoustic silencer in your computer
you can go to Start> All programs> Toshiba>CD/DVD> acoustic silencer
if that option is not there it could be something else

2.16 iMac display making popping noise

Hey guys,
My imac display has been making these "popping" noises that are very faint when the screen dims and when the screen goes to a screen saver (it does it for all different screen savers).
Its like a ticking sound and theres about 3 ticks per second.
The screen is as bright as ever so I'm not sure whats up. I'll leave the screen idle for a few mins, then it auto-dims and the ticking starts.
Anyone ever hearad of this?

use ASP and check the ST hard drive ie Seagate. If assembled in china and firmware version 7.01 ; then you best save your data asap because the hard drive is going to crash with no possibility of data recovery.

IMac fan making whirring noise

Hi my iMac (2011 model, but used properly only in the last year) has started to make an annoying whirring sound which I assume is the fan. It started with video editing but now makes this noise all the time. Anyone experienced this and can it be easily fixed?
Thanks
D

I have experienced this whilst using my internet browser. I took it in the to the Apple Store and they were able to fix it. What had happened was that something had entered the computer through the vent in between the screen and keyboard, and they were just able to blow air through it and move around the computer to get it out and the noise stopped. It could also be the battery, which has little plastic pieces that help keep it in place and sometimes those plastic pieces crack and get lodged into certain places. Hope this helped!

IMac is making whirring noises at startup.

Is it safe to ignore?

Yes, I had a CD in the drive. I had to manually power off the iMac though because it froze while I played Zoo Tycoon, so maybe it had something to do with it. I've never heard those noises though on the iMacc.

My macbook (2009) keeps making strange noises. What to do?

Yesterday, my macbook started to make strange noises. A little scratchy noise. Like there's somthing wrong with the Fan or something.
I called Apple Support, but they told me i had to reset the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM. I triend, but the noise is still there.
Does anyone know what to do?? Is it bad?
Its a really annoying sound.

It could be the fan.....or the hard drive.....this is a link to a data recovery firm that has posted the various sounds made by failing hard drives.......

......make sure your data is backed now in case the hard drive is failing.....

My CD drive keeps making strange noises when macbook first turns on or wakes from sleep

Any ideas?

It started a few months ago, but I got the macbook about 3 years ago. It seems that it doesn't make noises when there is a disc inserted, but when it's empty it does (very embarrassing in a quiet library!) - it's almost like it's satisfied when full of food, but it rumbles when it's hungry. Any ideas?

Why does my ipod touch keep making weird noise when i plug in my headphone and when i put music it sound fuzy

The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

My macbook air won't turn on and keeps making startup noise.

My macbook air mouse wasn't responding and I had several windows of google chrome open, the imsg app open, and everything else was closed. I left it on, closed the screen, and returned to it. I was able to login, but the mouse wasn't responding. I forced shut it down, waited a bit, then tried to start it again only to find the screen remained white and kept repeating the startup sound.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Unplug the mouse then try an SMC reset.
