Odd noise when inserting a disk

I have a brand new macbook pro, less than a week old, and from the day I got it, every time I insert a disk, it makes this loud popping/clicking noise. Is this normal or maybe there is something wrong?

I have the same sound - my MBP is only a week old as well... If you are not happy with it or are having further problems with it reading cd's or dvd'd then you should take it back to your local apple store.
I know of two other MBP users and they have the same thing... as said on other posts "not very pleasing to the ear"...

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

Fan noise when I Target Disk Mode - power supply or 500 GB drive, or RAM?

I have a Revision B iMac G5 which falls squarely in the power supply replacement program and has had the power supply replaced twice. I'm wondering if my extra RAM, or larger hard drive could be to blame for the fan speeds upramping at random during normal operation, and always when I Target Disk Mode the machine. I have a Western Digital WDC WD5000KS-00MNB0
and two 1 GB RAM modules with the following spec PC3200U-30330.
Before I try to pin down the cause one by one, has anyone noticed whether there are 500 GB drives on these Macs which will not up the fan speeds? Has anyone noticed whether target disk mode on these models will not increase the fan speeds when RAM is upgraded to 2 GB?

I have the same iMac as yours. Changed the original 80 gig hdd to a 250 gig. Both drives are seagate barracudas. I also upgraded the memory to 2gigs. The fan noise was terrible.
6 months later a ram module gives up the ghost. I originally thought hard drive, so purchased a Western digital 500 gig WDC WD5000AACS-00ZUB0. (The green power series).

Fans very quite. still waiting for the replacement ram module;
to see if extra ram will increase fan noise

Odd hissing noise when inserting PCMCIA card

I'm testing a wireless broadband card (Sierra AC580), and I've encountered a very strange issue. When I insert the PCMCIA card into its slot, I get a loud hissing noise from the left speaker. I can reduce the volume of the noise by moving the card side to side, and sometimes I can transfer it from the left to the right speaker.
Is this some kind of interference issue between the speakers and the cell signal coming from the card? Has anyone else encountered this? The speaker volume has no effect on the volume of the sound. Neither does the mute button (F3).

I have the same sound - my MBP is only a week old as well... If you are not happy with it or are having further problems with it reading cd's or dvd'd then you should take it back to your local apple store.

Clicking noise when putting in disk

I just got my mac last month, and until a week ago, had not put a disk in it. When you load a disk, it makes a really loud clicking noise. The drive seems to work fine and burn disks, but is the noise normal?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4)

The noise is completely normal. Since the slot loading drive is a little different from your typical "tray" type drive, what you hear is the motor pulling in the disk and then seating it.

Noise when inserting cd/dvd

I have a new MB, purchased a couple of weeks ago, and I have noted that when I insert a CD or DVD it makes a lot of noise. The noise seems like a clunking. Does this seem normal. My imac does not do this when I insert a cd into it. Thanks.

I am having similar issues. It doesn't sound right, but apparently the noises are "normal." I found this webpage that has samples of noises your CD/DVD drive might make:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1723?viewlocale=en_US
Apparently the noise coming from my computer is in fact common and I should not be worried about it, but I think I'm going to call Apple support anyway

IDCS3: Odd behaviour when inserting values

Hi!
I can't find a solution to this problem anywhere on the forum or on the net. It could be that I choose the wrong search terms. But anyways, an explanation:
The problem my co-workers and I have, is that when you have a document open, select a bit of text, and want to type in a new size-value in the control-panel at the top, the program reset to the previous value and the marker goes back into the selected text. It also happen when I want to change any other values for ie. objects like images, and when I type in another font face.
Another problem that occur, is that when I go to another open program on my Mac, it jump back into InDesign without me doing anything.
Is this a problem for Intel-based macs with OS X 10.5? On the machine running PPC it works as it should.
If this wasn't understandable, please let me know.

We are also having the problem of inserting values in to the top control panel. Both with the Selection Tool and the Type Tool. We highlight the input box, we enter in a value, the new value stays for a second or two, and then reverts to the previous value. Also, if we try to copy in a value, the box de-highlights and the value gets pasted on to the actual document in a new text box.
This is happening in InDesign CS3 5.0.2 running on Leopard G5s and Tiger G5s. It seems to have appeared with the 5.0.2 update.

IPod makes an odd noise when syncing to computer

Whenever I plug my iPod in, it makes a high pitched, quiet scratching noise. My computer is also very slow when it comes to the same thing? Could somebody explain what it, how to fix it, or if I can fix it? Because it takes a long time to load and I don't have that much time.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Let's get it recognized by iTunes first.
Is it showing up in My Computer when connected?
If it is...

AutoPlay does not run when inserting disk

System: dv7-1285dx
Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1
When inserting a disk into the dvd drive AutoPlay does not run.
The information on the disk can be accessed through windows explorer by right clicking on the drive letter and choosing
open. The contents of the disk are displayed and can be accessed but windows does not recognise whether the disk
is video or data.
AutoPlay does not run from Windows Explorer.
In control panel > autoplay the "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" is checked, all media have options other than
"take no action".
The driver for the DVD player has been unistalled and reinstalled with no effect.
Disks burned with the drive behave normally on other computers.
AutoPlay runs properly for any device plugged into a USB port.
Any ideas of what to try next?
Thanks
Bo

Just started. Did you do any updates yesterday? Just start with a reset, hold the top sleep/wake button down and then Home button down at the same time until you see then white apple logo.

It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.
If you meant Adobe Photoshop Elements, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you want:

If you mean Photoshop proper, since you are posting in the Photoshop forum, give version details and your system specs.

When insert my lexar USB flash drive I get the message that the disk was not readable by this computer. It has worked previous to this and I do not want to lose the data by reformatting the drive. How can I reformat this drive and not lose my data?

When insert my lexar USB flash drive I get the message that the disk was not readable by this computer. It has worked previous to this and I do not want to lose the data by reformatting the drive. How can I reformat this drive and not lose my data?

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

I have OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and click install it will start to install, then once it gets about 1/4 of the way done my computer restarts and it spits the disk back out.

I have OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and click install it starts, but when its about 1/4 of the way done the computer restarts and my disk spits back out. When I look to see if it installed it still says 10.5.8. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I bought the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD from the Apple Store.

When i try to open itunes i get insert a disk into removable disk f and when i look for that on my computer there is no disk f

when i try to open itunes i get the message insert a disk into removable disk f and when i look for disk f there is no f on my computer. I thought i might make a disk f that letter is not available in my device manager section. So i try and uninstall/install itunes it was error message wd is invailid character. I am in a pickle here.

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!
