My printer makes a loud dinging sound every 5 seconds.

I have no error messages and it prints perfectly. I have restarted the printer and computer. I have unplugged the printer but can't get it to stop dinging.

Chime sound every ten seconds or so in quick time for pc

Getting a "ding-ding" sound every 10 seconds or so when quicktime pro is open. any one know the answer to this one?? Thanks. Jay

fixed. download loaded latest version. Actually had to do it twice. The first time fixed the chime problem but gave me a green screen on playback. So, I downloaded again and used the "repair" button on install, and everything seems to be working ok.

HP Laserjet P1005 printer makes a loud rasping noise as soon as it is turned on

My Laserjet P1005 printer makes a loud rasping noise as soon as it is turned on. The noise stops when the top cover is opened, but starts again when the cover is closed. The printer has been used sparingly at home and from a cursory inspection, the rollers seem to be okay. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thank you!

My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

It sounds like it starting to charge, then suddenly stops over and over. This can happen if the cable or adapter is bad or if your charing port has an issue.
Try using a different cable and/or wall adapter. If the issue continues, it's probably the iPhone. If it does not continue, then it's the cable or adapter. Continue to swap to see what's bad.
If you don't have another cable or adapter to test will, take your iPhone and your cable/adapter combo to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. They can help you narrow the issue down and provide service as indicated. https://locate.apple.com/country

My mac makes a loud humming sound

My mac makes a loud humming sound when i turn it on. The sound is from the base of the MAc and it sometimes get really hot.

Resetting SMC as well as blow out the dust could solve the problem.

Disk eject sound every 30 seconds

For the past 3 weeks, my iMac is making the 'disk eject' sound every 30 seconds. It's maddening. It persists whenever the machine is not asleep and in both user modes. Any thoughts?

If it's a click click, it may well be the sound of a dying hard drive. Back up all your data to a firewire external as soon as you can, I use SuperDuper! to make a bootable clone.

AS2 How to make a button that moves every two seconds

How can I make a button that moves every two seconds by itself in ActionScript2?
At the moment, I have to use the on(press) command, but what I really need is for the button to be able to move randomly by itself every two seconds. For example:
(insert the code here) {
bc1._x = random(250)
bc1._y = random(250)
Thanks!

You can use the setInterval function to have a function repeated for specific time intervals. Here is a link to a tutorial that explains how to use it...

My Macbook Beeps; a high pitched sounds every ten seconds, what is wrong?
Help, please!

buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

Apple TV2 unit makes an ultra-high pitch sound every 40 seconds

This just started happening about two hours ago: every 40 seconds our Apple TV2 makes this dog whistle-like sound that pierces through the whole house. Has this happened to anyone else? I have tried recording the sound but the mic on my iPhone can't pick up the sound. (btw, my wife hears it too, in case you thought I was just being crazy haha)

Looks like it was the iPad Mini that was next to my Apple TV2

Ibook makes a loud whurring sound...

Perhaps someone could help. I just bought a used ibook G4 and it was working perfectly fine until I replaced the power adapter (unfortunately I stepped on the other one and ripped the cord). The model of the adapter is supposed to be compatible for both the powerbook and ibook, BUT as soon as I got it home and turned it on, it was working for two minutes, then the screen went black and it started making this really loud whurring sound. I immediately shut it off and waited and then tried to restart it manually and at the startup it sounded ok and then the whurring sound began again, and the screen stayed black. I tried to hold down the option + command + P + R and then shift but there was still nothing. Is my computer shot or is there a chance I can get her going again? Please help! BAH!

Macbook Pro frozen with a strange sound every 5 seconds. What happened?

I was just surfing the net and suddenly my macbook pro 13 got frozen with a loud "beep" every few seconds (the same sound as that of upgrade booting). What happened? I've shut down and then it restarted as usual.
Sorry for my english.

Sounds like bad RAM. Run a hardware check and/or take the machine to the Apple Store or AASP.

Help ! Screen Capture sound every 30 seconds

Hi all I need help! Last week in the middle of my work day nothing special, the system started playing the camera shutter / screen capture. I started timing between the shutter, every 30 seconds, very annoying - the camera shutter sound - same as the shift-4 screen capture sound and same as the sound that occurs when you press the back button in terminal. I have a 15 inch mac book pro. 2009 model.
I wondered whether someone had installed a hidden shell script or apple script program and is capturing my screen and maybe sending it over the net.
I have checked activity monitor and did not notice any programs running like "screencapture" or anything else like that. I have also turned hidden files visable on, but i can't find any screen capture directory or files: .jpg, .pdf, .png files I should be seeing lots of them for every 30 seconds per capture. Back to terminal here is my dump from ps ax command:

Please any suggestions??? as you can imagine im pulling my hair out. Please any ideas before i have to reinstall everything again i just finished a re-install. My last system had the Isight camera turning and flashing randomly now this...am i a victim of mac hacking???
Help!!! Pls.

Make sure the sound is coming from your speakers and not from your hard drive, by muting the speakers. If the sound continues, it may be your hard drive's heads parking (which shouldn't happen every 30 seconds either, but that's a very different problem). If it doesn't continue and is therefore exactly what you think it is, I'm as puzzled as you are.

Weird clicking sound every few seconds.

When i open the powerbook from being asleep, it starts up and everything is fine... every few seconds i hear a weird click sound, i'm guessing its the HD, and somthing is wrong with the moving parts. I have not dropped or damaged the powerbook in anyway. I first heard the noise when opening the top after being away few for an hour.
Has anyone else had a problem like this?

With hard drives it's not a matter of if it will fail, it's when. Since they are made of moving parts generally when you begin to hear clicking noises, it's a sign to backup your stuff and then worry about running some diagnostics. If you have applecare you should run techtool and it should tell you with a small margin or error if it's good. Now just because it says that the drive is still good can also not mean that it isn't in the process of going bad. So, keep a good backup of all your stuff on an external drive. I use superduper to do a full backup of my system once a week on a external firewire drive that's bootable if i need it. It will do a "smart update" of your data when you backup after the first time saving you a lot of time.
If you don't have applecare, try and find a friend that does or take your computer to your local apple authorized service center. They will have access to the gsx (global service exchange) website which has specific diagnostic bootable cd's for each model of computer. They should be able to tell you if it's bad or not. If you find a friend that has applecare, just use his techtool cd. Just Boot from the cd and run the diagnostics, don't install the app on your mac as that would be illegal.
Hope this helps
Mossimac
