Noise while running DVD.

when i insert my DVD into the slot it makes a loud noise. then while the DVD is playing, throughout the movie it makes a constant clicking noise? is this normal. previously i owned a VAIO, but never had this problem.

Does it happen with every disk inserted? Due to the slot-loading slimline design, the drive on the MBP is a less tolerant to unbalanced disks.

Use screen saver while running DVD player?

This may seem like a silly question, but I like to watch the Simpsons while falling asleep. The issue being that by the time the DVD has run it's course, I have fallen asleep only to wake up maybe several hours later and the screen saver isn't on. So as not to burn out the screen, the drive, or the hard drive, is there a way to stop the DVD player from overriding the power saving settings? Better put, can I get my mac to go to into sleep mode after a set period of time while the DVD player is running?
Thanks for your help.

Don't mention it. You were the one who said the question might seem silly, and you were right. Actually, the question itself wasn't silly:
...can I get my mac to go to into sleep mode after a set period of time while the DVD player is running?
That was a reasonable question, and I answered it straight. My somewhat facetious response to the underlying situation reflected my perception that you want to have your machine runniing and sleeping at the same time, which is an impossibility on its face.

Weird noise on lcd while running XP?

Whenever i put the brightness of the screen in between the middle, a small buzzy noise starts to come out
(like beeeeeeeeeeeeep) in back of the lid while running windows xp. If i was to place the brightness all the way up, it becomes normal. Is this totally normal?
It isn't something that's limiting what im doing, but it is noticeable when your in a very quiet room. Please let me know if it is normal or not, thanks.

Without actually hearing the noise my self, it is hard to diagnose, but there are a number of fans inside the iMac system. It could be the processor heating up as it processes the data required to set up the system, which is normal. Once you are inside the OS, use a program called SMCFanControl and see if you are able to change the nature of the sound by changing various fan speeds.

W510 checkered pixel patterns while running on battery [workaround]

Hey all, got my W510 in the mail yesterday and am quite pleased with it so far, but I have one issue that I've determined to be related to the power profiles. When using any energy-saving power profile while running off battery power, when I have a flash website (e.g. Nvidia's homepage) open in IE or Chrome or if I move any window around the screen enough, some kind of strange pixel checkering occurs constantly when the screen has too much activity. It's as if every other pixel gets shifted over by one making what looks like a checkerboard out of all the pixels on the screen. I can still read the screen, but it makes my head spin.
If I choose the standard 'Max Performance' power profile, the issue doesn't manifest when running on the battery. If I choose any of the others or create my own profile to mimic the Max Performance profile, I still get the checkers. It still manifests if I go through and turn off all power-saving options or increase the brightness of the backlight. If I start with the Max Performance profile and adjust it to my needs, the problem doesn't occur. Something tells me that the performance profile has something subtly different than all the others and it's not a configurable setting.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Should I upgrade my Nvidia drivers from version 188.25, which came with the machine? I've read that other people have had issues upgrading their Nvidia driver. The way the system behaves, this seems like a power management issues more than an Nvidia driver issue.
Edit: I should also add that I don't have the issue while running on the AC adapter. Also if I take a screenshot while the pixel shifting occurs, the screenshot is crisp and clear with no signs of the pixel problem. This seems purely hardware/power management related.
Edit: see my later post on adjusting the power settings to work around this issue.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's reasonably likely that whatever issue you're seeing is linked to a setting in the NVIDIA Control Panel. So the best diagnostic you can do is, in high-performance mode (where the problem DOESN'T occur), write down the value of EVERY single setting that's available in that control panel.
Then, put the machine in a power mode in which the problem DOES occur. Then again go into the NVIDIA Control Panel and check every single available setting to see if anything has changed. There's a reasonable chance that you'll then find out what setting is causing the problem.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video probably ten times that. Taking a close-up shot of the screen while the problem is occuring, with either a still camera or preferably a video camera (or both), may help siginifcantly in diagnosing the problem. A simulated picture may differ in some subtle way from what's really happening, and those subtleties may be important. For instance, does the effect only break up vertical lines, and not horizontal lines? And does it only happen to content that is moving on the screen? And you're running your display at its native resolution, and not some larger or smaller resolution, right? Is the horizontal offset in the effect always just one pixel-width, or is it more than one pixel-width if you move things fast enough?
The simulated picture that you provide looks like it suffers from an artifact that appears WITHIN moving items that are displayed on an interlaced-scan display. The artifact goes away when the item ceases to move. But these aren't supposed to be interlaced displays. And I assume that you're talking about the built-in LCD in the W510, and not some external display, right? If somehow your display card is in interlaced display mode, then the problem probably won't appear in any screenshot the W510 takes of its own display. So at least that part of such a problem would agree with what you're describing.
So maybe the card is in an interlaced display mode when it's not supposed to be. Such a setting would normally be contained under some sort of "Video" menu in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
And from nVIDIA's website:
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2343&p_created=1231528...!!&p_li=&p_topview=1
"Graphics card temperatures typically range from 40°C to 90°C."
The only mention of interlacing that I see on their site for that graphics card is in the "Features" section of:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_880_m_us.html
"PureVideo HD Technology
NVIDIA® PureVideo® technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include, high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from DVD."
Plus there are many references to interlace features in the "NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver README and Installation Guide" which covers your video card. And those features are also presumably present in the Windows driver as well:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/195.36.08/README/README.txt
One such reference is:
"While [it] is possible to apply de-interlacing algorithms to progressive streams using the techniques outlined in the VDPAU documentation, NVIDIA does not recommend doing so. One is likely to introduce more artifacts due to the inverse telecine process than are removed by detection of bad edits etc."
So maybe it's trying to do spatial temporal de-interlacing when it doesn't need to (I once wrote software to do spatial temporal de-interlacing for a thermal camera, and you don't want that to be turned on when it's not supposed to be turned on). It mentions the de-interlacing in connection with a video mixer feature. So that's another possibility.
Anyway, that should keep you busy, if you want to fix it. ;-) Good luck!

Anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, after guarantee period expiry the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs? CDs run

Can anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, ( just after guarantee period expiry) the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs?
CDs run without problem and until recently the DVD we have (all original no pirated copies) ran; we have used a CD cleaner disc to no avail.

Welcome to the Apple boards:
I suggest an erase and install and use your backup for any important files you have.
Did you perform a disk check/repair and permissions repair and a PRAM zap before updating? While not required, they are usually necessary to avoid issues.
There are so many reasons for a bad install, that it is impossible to list them all.
Out-of-date software, drivers, etc, haxies, and other software can cause problems.
My three updates were without incident, so it is possible for a perfect update, but unless you supply us with details about your previous system, programs, apps, drivers, etc., it is not possible to figure out what happened.
Again, whenever installing an update to an OS, a clone or other full backup is absolutely necessary, as reading the posts on this board indicate.

Finder locked-up while running Garmin map manager

In Maverick OS, Finder locked-up while running Garmin map manager; can't force quit because Garmin 450 is connected. Also complicated by Sketch-up app trying to install; several license agreement screens on desktop. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, DCC

Hello saturdaysaint:
I would try a couple of things:
Run permission repair as a "precaution."
Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
Trash com.apple.finder.plist (the finder preference file).
I never let software updates run automatically - I use the software update manually and then back up before any update.

All Player are crashing while watching DVDs

Hi,
I have got a very strange Problem. When I want to watch a commercial DVD, vlc and mplayer are crashing in the middle of the film, or the film won't start at all. Sometimes I can watch the the first 10 min, and sometimes nothing. The same problem occurs in WinXP with PowerDVD while running in VirtualBox. So it is no problem with libdvdcss. I think that there is a problem with the driver for the DVD-Drive in Arch, because I have got no problems in Ubuntu. What fault could it be? I cannot localize that strange problem, and I don't want to go back to Ubuntu
thanks
dante
PS: Im using a Samsung Q35 with SATA drives
PPS: I have got the solution! There is a problem with "udftools" for using and burning DVD-Ram. In my case you have to unload the packet writing device from dvd drive.

Oh, sorry, I didn't know that this is only for Us models
Anyway, I asked some friends of mine for the advice, and they advised my to try with a new scart cable
I have bought a brand new cable, and it seems that it works good now
(Even though on the old TV, even the old cable was "good", but nevermind)
Anyway, I think I have solved the problem and it seems that the problem was connected with the cable and not the Tv
Thanks anyway

Overheating while watching dvd

hi,
i have a problem with overheating of my macbook while watching dvd. after a little while of watching, it doesn't react on anything..i can't change the volume, i can't do anything, it doesn't matter if it is by clicking on trackpad or by apple remote, but dvd film is still playing without break.i always have to push the power button for a while and turn it off and then on when i want to do something else. i have read about the rear vent, but where it is?? I would like to check, if some little plastic is not stucked there. please tell me somebody where is it exactly.macbook is still very warm. i always try not to charge a battery while watching. but it is still the same.

That should not happen - I can play DVDs without incident. You can open the Activity Monitor to see if a LOT of CPU is being used for some reason (or a lot of RAM). In the end you should take it in to Apple Service.
On another note - if you watch a lot of YouTube, the Flash video is a challenge to MacBook's little video chip and it does make the fan run and it gets hot, but that is the only bottleneck.

880GM-E43 Re-booted itself while running Prime95 torture test

RE: Newly build 880GM-E43 (MS-7596) BIOS: 2.1; OS: WHS w/PP3 using XP 32-bit drivers
Phenom II x4 925, 2x 2GB Kingston PC3-10600 KVR1333D3K3/4GR (Passed 1 cycle Windows Memory Diagnostic), Fortron 350W PSU FSP350-60GLN(80) (9PA3508505), 4TB WD Green, LG DVD-RW IDE
Re-booted itself this morning while running Prime95 overnight. At the time it re-booted, I've installed current drivers from MSI except "display driver" (defaulted to Standard VGA). This morning, I download & installed the latest ATi Radeon HD4200 driver only (without Catalyst).
Wanted to re-flash to latest BIOS, but failed to find any on MSI website. Any linky to correct version BIOS would be much appreciated.

Thank you kindly for your response and for pointing out those +12V rails "current output" concern.
After double checking on the manufacturer's web page http://www.shopfsp.com/fsp35060gln80/p/426.html and referring to the label adhered on the PSU, both +12V rails is supposedly +12V¹@15A and +12V²@15A and their combined max output is 336W and not 10A & 15A respectively (as shown of the other web page).
Presently, we've two other similar setups and PSU in service for over the last six months is running stable; for now I ruled out the PSU as the culprit to the "re-booting" issue.
Does anyone happen to know what is the power consumption of the 880GM-E43 with embedded ATi Radeon HD 4250 IGP?
Thank you in advance. Ciao!

Noise while using Miroslav Philharmonik

Hi There
Anyone know why i might be experiencing crackling noise while using miroslav? it is somewhat improved by freezing tracks, but this is obviously not a longterm solution.....
thanks
Grabbin'

Hi Bill
I received this excellent reply from IK:
My name is Paul Hudson, I am the Support Manager with IK Multimedia. I was sent over your ticket for testing and I believe I see what the troubles is. You mention that you are only using 1 sound per instance of Miroslav and in that session you sent us, thanks by the way!, I was able to see that for certain. Using multiple instances in this way is more taxing on the CPU, as you are loading multiple reverbs inside of Miroslav, as each instance defaults with the CSR Hall reverb on in the Send FX.
To setup Miroslav using just the one instance and then multiple sounds inside it, all you need to do is create a new session and go to inset a New track. Select the Software Instrument track and then check the box next to the quantity of tracks, that says 'multi-timbral'. With this checked, create the track and click on the Input of that track and insert Miroslav. Now upon creation of the track, you will see 17 total tracks. This is the main instance of Miroslav and 16 MIDI channels. As you click down on each track, you will notice in the Inspector window that the MIDI channel changes. So within Miroslav now, click on the first Part (which is the 1st MIDI channel) and insert your sound. Now click down to Part 2 (which is MIDI Channel 2) and insert your new sound. Click down to the 2nd MIDI track in Logic, and hit your keys. You should hear the second sound. Click back to the first track, you should hear the first sound!
In this setup, please run the sounds through Miroslav and everything should sound lovely!
