My speakers are making a stuttering noise and the mouse is flickering random software glitches

Hi
as soon as I boot my speakers are making a stuttering noise unless I turn them down to nothing. this noise will continue while I work if I turn my speakers up.
But if I watch or listen to anything the noise is gone.
The mouse flickers and links on the desktop open without me wanting them to.
When I go under the Apple Icon TRHS the menu flickers and behaves strangely.
What could be happening ?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks for your replies, I have done a re-boot from disc utilities and repaired and verified disc and permissions.
This cleaned it up. But then I logged into LinkedIn using Safari ....the program froze when asked to link to one of my contacts. All of the bugs then returned. Only the combo of LinkedIn and Safari cause the problem . Other browsers work perfectly.
I would like to eliminate all bugs this combo causes - does anyone have a fix ?

Are you hearing beeps?
What was the spec of the RAM?
What was the brand of RAM?
Have you double checked that the RAM is properly seated?

Wont start - HD makes noise and the screen stays black

Hi there
This just happened today. Well yesterday while I was browsing suddenly for no reason my screenn went black and no amount of pressing of keys clicking etc could make it come alive again. So I powered down and restarted. It worked OK.
Then today same thing, except when I tried to restart the HD started making loud 'wirring' noises and the screeen stayed black. I've been trying on and off to get it to start but no luck. Is there anything that I can do????
The iBook hasnt been dropped or mishandled in anyway, and nothing has been spilt on it either.

Try resetting the power manager:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM:

And if that doesn't work, it may be your power manager has gone bad. Hopefully your machine is still under warranty. If it isn't, an authorized service technician can still remove the hard drive and put it inside an external 2.5" Firewire case such as those made by http://www.macsales.com/ so that at least you can recover any files you haven't backed up.

MY SPEAKER ARE MAKING A WEIRD NOISE

YESTERDAY MY MICROPHONE WOULDNT WORK & NOW I WOKE UP & MY SPEAKERS ARE MAKING A LOUD SHREIKING NOISE....EVERYTHING WAS FINE JUST A FEW DAYS AGO...CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

I am having the same problem and it began about the same time. Wonder if a Windows Update caused a problem ??? I am trying everything I can think of to correct the problem, but with no luck. First thought it was just a problem with Skype. But Skype shows that my mic, video camera and speakers are working fine. However, I can't hear the person I'm Skyping with but they can hear me. I've tried several other things only to always come back to the squealing nose which basically sounds like feedback (i.e. - when a microphone gets too close to a speaker). Have considered doing the "Recovery" option, but hopefully someone will give us an answer! : /
Thanks for posting this!

The strap of my bag broke when my laptop was in it, now it is making a buzzing noise all the time and sometimes get a bit warm. I have warranty with protection plan, how do I fix it?

The strap of my bag broke when my laptop was in it, now it is making a buzzing noise all the time when I am using it. I have warranty with protection plan, how do I fix it?

Take it in and have it assessed. They do not have to know about the bag incident unless the explicitly ask for the specific details (like when you are being questioned by a TSA screener, LEO, etc.). As far as you know, the noise started up and it is getting warm. With luck it is just an unbalanced fan that needs replacement.

The ipad safari on facebook will echo characters on the search feature. Please fix this STUPID error! At the least, investigate it and come to a suitable response. Stupid things like this are making me lose faith and interest in Apple products.

and as far as I can tell getting access to stuff synced on the atv is a no go

My laptop is making a clicking noise and I think it's coming from the hard drive. I uploaded audio of the clicking to: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15528211/Memo.m4a. Is this a normal sound or an indication of a problem? Thanks in adance.

That is a hard drive clicking. It sounds kind of intermittent like it might be just the hard drive safety system parking the read head on the drive. Do you get a sustained click when you try to boot up? Have you tried the hard drive health test in the BIOS? Just tap F10 as you power up and go into the setup/bios and look for the hard drive self-test and run the long form version and see what you get.
Here is the Service Manual, which is always a good thing to have:

You have a HDD problem (hopefully you have a backup). Start with the information on this support article:

When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in
and will then boot up again without any errors.
I Have replace RAMS, Motherboard and Power Supply. I have check the Bio's and Power setting on the unit. there is no place to cause this issue.
Please help

Syamak,
You didn’t specify where the beeping noise is coming from.
If it’s coming through your speakers, you could try to update your audio drivers since it’s possible they’re incorrectly sending a signal to the speakers as the audio chipset enters standby.
If the noise is coming from the motherboard, you’ll need to take a closer look at your system’s configuration or contact the manufacturer.
I hope this helps.

When my computer is playing sound, it makes a loud buzzing noise and the computer locks up

When my laptop Pavilion dv6 less than a year old, computer is playing sound, it makes a very loud buzzing noise and the whole computer locks up. I hit the lock symbol and then swipe my finger again to get out of the website (youtube) or close out the program playing sound or it will do it again.

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
If both the above tests pass, try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, click Computer, left click Local Disc C once to highlight it, right click Local Disc C and select Properties. Click the Tools tab and then click the button to 'Check the Drive for Errors'. In the following window make sure both boxes are ticked and then click Start. Part of this process will require a restart to check the drive.
Regards,
DP-K

Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to fix it or recover my files? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!

Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to pull all the songs I have saved on it? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Or at least recover the lost data?
Thanks!

How to fix: the drive is in warranty, so contact Seagate for a replacement.
How to recover your data: Do you have backups? (If not, you really, really, should.)
You can try downloading Data Rescue, which will run in trial mode and let you know if the data is recoverable. (You can then choose to purchase the full version if it works for you.) A clicking drive, though, is usually (though not always) a sign that the drive cannot be recovered.
