Noisy how - as in paper being spit out quickly and hitting the stop on the output tray, or as in grinding or other loud mechanical noises? The first would be normal, grinding would not.
The troubleshooting page here may help, although I would skip steps 4 and 5.

Is the Superdrive usually very noisy when reading a disc?

I have a Macbook, a couple weeks old. I have used the superdrive several times since I bought it. Whenever I pop in a CD, audio or data, a very loud whirring noise begins. It sounds like the fan, but much louder. Is this normal?
Unrelated, but I also have a new "popping noise", which sounds like it's coming directly from the left of the superdrive. I'm not sure how to describe it, other than it sounds like a cork popping off a miniature bottle of champagne. Sometimes it's preceded by a quiet whirring noise (not the superdrive). It happens every 30 to 60 seconds, it's annoying, and I have no idea what part of the computer it's originating from.

Can anyone tell me if their drive could be considered noisy? I read in another thread that someone's drive was totally quiet, except for the loading and unloading noise.
Also, I don't have any DVD's right now to test with, so I only know that CD's make the whirring noise.

I just upgraded to the new iTunes and now my playlists are jumbled when I print them.

I just up graded to the new iTunes and now when I prints playlists, they are jumbled. It's not my printer...........only happens on iTunes.

In setting up my ICal calendar I have specific times (as new events) that I want to be included in the print out. This doesn't happen.

In setting up my ICAL calendar I have specific times (as new events) for each day. When it prints out the time does not show up (rather its a bar). I would like the time for each appointment to print out. How do I do this?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

After installing a new hard drive the fan is very noisy. Hardware test error code 4MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1417

I've carried out all the trouble shooting procedures.The fan is running @ 3899rpm and the temp is 26 deg celsius. (I'm assuming the sensor is working OK...it may not be) A SMART test was OK, can anyone please identify the code and suggest a solution.
Thanks
roger190

There are temperature sensor on the Apple installed hard drives. Did you reattach this to the new drive? If so how well / badly was it stuck on? Was the sensor damaged during the install of the new drive?
The fact the fans are running @3899rpm shows something is not quite right.
Is it possible the new drive is faulty? See here:

New 2.16GB MBP HD reads 111.47GB instead of 120GB. Is this normal?

When I do a get info on the Macintosh HD, it says 114.47GB yet it's advertised as a 120GB. Has anybody else with a 2.16 GHz MBP noticed the same thing on yours?
- Mark

Hi Mark T1:
This article should give you a good idea what is going on:
In brief, when you see HD capacity advertised as 60GB, 80GB, 100GB etc, that's the marketing way where they take "decimal" road and base 1GB as being equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. This is true for all HD manufacturers and computer manufacturers.
Once upon a time, computer professionals noticed that 1,024 bytes (binary) was very nearly equal to 1,000 (decimal) and started using the prefix "kilo" to mean 1,024. That worked well enough for a decade or two because everybody who talked kilobytes knew that the term implied 1,024 bytes. But, almost overnight a much more numerous "everybody" bought computers, and the trade computer professionals needed to talk to physicists and engineers and even to ordinary people, most of whom know that a kilometer is 1,000 meters and a kilogram is 1,000 grams.
Often when two or more people begin discussing storage capacity, some will refer to binary values and others will refer to decimal values without making distinction between the two. This has caused much confusion in the past (and still does). In an effort to dispatch this confusion, all major disc drive manufacturers use decimal values when discussing storage capacity.
Some simple arithmetic will convert the advertised (decimal) capacity to the actual (binary) capacity:
1KB = 1,024 bytes
1MB = 1,024 x 1,024 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
1GB = 1,024 x 1,024 x 1,024 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
Therefore, in your specific case:
160GB (decimal) = 160 ÷ 1.073741824 = 149.01161193848 GB (binary or actual capacity)
Rounded off to two decimal points = 149.01 GB
I hope this clarifies it for you and explains the reasons for the discrepancy.

It has taken over 2hrs to update my new Iphone 4 to iOS5 and it's still not done. Is this normal?

I have only had my phone for 1 week and wanted to download a ringtone from itunes. I got a message that stated I needed iOS5 downloaded. I have tried to update this via itunes on my home computer but it's been over 2hrs and it's still not donw syncing. Is this normal?? I do have a lot of music on itunes is that the problem?? Thank you!

Thankyou for the reply, the pop up window is labelled backing up ,I can see the progress line its really passed 3 hours still as mentioned about 10 15% progress .Please all i want to know is it worth continuing or its a waste of time.Its worth mentioning that since i've got the phone 2 years ago I've never updated it and the sole reason I'm doing it now is since 2 days ago i can't get my emails on my phone but i do get them on my PC.
Went to an Apple store an advisor told me to update it as it might solve the problem.Although i did delete my account internet account then register it again , also turned the phone on , off.Unfortunately still can't get my emails on the move .

CPU is very hot when using Thunderbolt display and mac attached USB hard drive for TimeMachine

Hello,
i've bought the new MacBook Pro 15" and a Thunderbolt display. Everything works fine for me due to the latest updates, but i experience an issue which i really don't understand. When i connect an usb hard drive for TimeMachine to my display it works like expected (CPU has a temperature of 64°C), but when i connect it to an usb port of the mac while using my display the CPU temperature goes crazy (spikes about 80°C) and it gets very noisy. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
May this has something to do with the dual graphics adapter and how the system handles the data stream to thunderbold ports and usb devices? Which graphics card is used for the external display, the internal gpu or the adapter from ati? I've googled a lot but haven't found appropriet answers about these questions.

Hi there ulairi9!
I understand how this would be a frustrating issue! I have an article here that can provide some troubleshooting steps for you, and can hopefully help you resolve the issue. That article specifically addresses the issue you are experiencing, and can be found here:

Sometimes when I click on a tab, instead of simply switching to that tab, a new Firefox window opens, which can be very annoying. How do I stop this?

I have multiple tabs open. I want to look at one of them and I click on it. Instead of simply switching to that tab, Firefox opens a new window. Very annoying! Why does it do this and, more importantly, how do I make it stop?
I'm using Firefox 36.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Hi reddbrad,
I've never heard of this issue before. Have you tried refreshing and/or re-installing Firefox? Take a look at this article: [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems]] I would try #6 and if that doesn't do it, #5.
'''Note:''' When using the refresh feature, your bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, windows, passwords, cookies and web form auto-fill information will be saved. However, your extensions and themes will be removed and your preferences will be reset.

MacBook Pro 2009 new hard drive install results in very slow function and freezing

I just wanted to post my resolution to a problem that I had trouble finding an answer to on these forums.
Short version:
I replaced the hard drive in my 2009 MacBook Pro because the computer froze and upon reboot the Disk Utility said it was corrupted, but with the new hard drive the computer ran very slowly and often showed the spinning rainbow wheel. I replaced the SATA cable that connects the hard drive to the motherboard and it works perfectly once again.
Long version:
Recently my MacBook Pro (2009 running Snow Leopard) froze up and I performed a hard reset by holding down the power button. When I turned the computer back on it would not boot OS so I ran disk utility from the Snow Leopard install DVD. The test said the hard drive was corrupted, and since the computer is way past warranty I decided to change the drive out myself. I bought a 500GB Seagate Momentus 5400 Drive from Amazon, opened the computer and replaced the existing hard drive with the new one. When I first booted from the OS install DVD, my computer was not recognizing that any hard drive was present. I read somewhere on these forums that sometimes the formatting on new Seagate drives can't be read by MacBooks and they need to be reformatted using another computer, but I tried simply taking the hard drive out and putting it back in a couple of times thinking maybe I had just not plugged it in correctly. After the 4th attempt the hard drive magically showed up, and I was able to reformat the drive and install OS and even Windows XP on bootcamp.
Everything seemed to be okay but applications were running slowly considering this was a fresh drive and OS install. Over time, the computer started to hang more and more. In OS I would get the spinning rainbow wheel even when doing something as simple as opening a browser window in Chrome or trying to type into a text field. When I tried to use Windows it would simply freeze after only a short time and I'd have to do a hard reset.
I went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store which was unhelpful, so I continued searching through these forums to try to figure out the problem. I noticed a lot of people had trouble with the SATA cable that came with the computer because it's quite thin and delicate, and would get damaged when changing out the hard drive. However most of these people seemed to experience a question mark when starting up the computer, whereas mine would fully boot and be functional for a time. I thought it unlikely that a damaged cable could possibly leave the computer partially functional. Finally though I gave in a dropped the $26 for a new SATA cable on Amazon. As soon as I installed it the problem was fixed, and the computer runs as fast as when I first bought it. I don't know if I damaged the cable changing the hard drive (I was extremely careful) or if my original hard drive was not actually corrupted and the cable was already damaged. I mentioned the possibility of the cable being damaged at the Apple store and the representative said that often times they fail because people carry the laptop with one hand, and because of the way this model was designed this puts a lot of pressure right on that thin cable. Regardless, if you do plan on changing out your hard drive in your MacBook keep in mind that the SATA cable is sensitive, and that if you experience problems with a fresh hard drive and OS install the SATA cable is a likely culprit.

If you think you have either a hard drive or a cable problem, to the best of my knowledge the only product that can help isolate both of them is Scannerz. You can check it out at:
http://scsc-online.com/Scannerz.html
I think that's the correct link. If it isn't and you're interested and that's wrong, just google it. I'd also check out their downloads section, especially the sort of short document on using path isolation to detect and isolate problems.
Scannerz can detect both errors and irregularities. It uses the surface scan progress as a reference. Cable problems never show up at the same location because they're typically intermittent. Surface problems always show up at the exact same place. That's the only product (at least commercially available) that can do that.
I don't know if this information is of any value to you because it sort of sounds like you've already solved the problem, but it might be of use if you have problems in the future.
In any case, I've seen several posts on several different sites where people were reporting insulation break down on some of the SATA cables. Apparently the insulation breaks down and the cable starts shorting to the case.

In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

My new iPad air requires a reboot at least once a day, sometimes more . Is this normal?

That type of error could indicate a WiFi network problem. That type of error can usually be gotten around by simply turning off/on WiFi in the Control Panel or Settings. There may or may not be any problem with your iPad Air. It won't hurt to have it checked out. You could also test your iPad on some other WiFi networks to see if it has any problems there. If it doesn't you might want to take a closer look at your network.
