Odd sound from 24-inch LED in sleep mode
Hello. I got the new 24-inch LED Cinema Display about a week ago. Looks awesome. Noticed an odd sound though that comes from the display when my MacBook Pro goes in sleep mode and only then. It's not extremely loud but is high pitched and is emanating from the back, around the power cord connector. Anybody else noticed? Wondering if it's something I should be worried about and consider exchanging before it worsens. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks for the reply. I have heard that ticking sound. It does not bug me and is not the one I'm writing about. The noise I'm referring to is high pitched sound that comes from the back of the display, around the power cord, when the MacBook Pro attached to it has been in sleep mode for a while. Just wondering if it's a defect and I should bring to the Apple Store. Display is otherwise spectacular and functioning flawlessly.

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode?
How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?
Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Recently, the superdrive on my G5 Quad core started making an odd sound - with no disk present, and for no reason at all, it would make a whirring/clicking sound, like it was looking to read a disk. It does this randomly, sometimes every few minutes, sometimes not for hours. It will cycle once or twice, then stop. Regular read/write performance seems unaffected. Any thoughts/solutions? Thanks - Dave
Mine does the same thing. It happens about every 5 to 6 minutes, it will make a little click or spinup check like it's checking to see if there's a disk in the drive.
I have no problem burning disks/dvd's etc, but this just started happening after I upgraded to 10.4.8.
It's sorta irritating to hear and I worry that it's causing unnessesary wear and tear on my drive.
Unless there's some way to figure out what is happening, I'm going to reformat my machine to see if it goes away.
The only other new CD rom app I've installed is DVD2ONEX.

Odd sound from mac. Input would be appriciated!
Alright,
I've had my macbook for a little over a year now, so i'm relatively sure that this issue is new.
My macbook is making a quiet sound that seems to come from beneath 2-3 keys. I know that this is approximately the position of the CPU, which I would imagine does make some electronic noise. The thing is I can't just be noticing this now, could I?
Anyways, does anyone else have a macbook that makes a faint 'computery'(sorry, thats the best adjective I can think up) sound from the top left corner?Would you consider it to be a high pitched noise?
Is your Macbook the Aluminum one, or the Polycarbonate one? My aluminum one has a fan I can hear if I put my ear up to it, but I don't hear a high pitched noise...
My Dell E1405 made a high pitched noise, apparently its an issue with the Core 2 Duo chipset it used at the time.

Does that sound about right? If so, I don't think there is a fix for it. -
Macbook Pro has no sound and needs to reboot after sleep-mode.
A few days ago, a friend of me wanted to do an hackintosh on his computer, i didn't like this idea but i helped him.. I had to install a so called program osx86 and multibeast and uniboot.. After all we didnt do the hackintosh at all but more important i removed the program and files but then suddenly my sound stopped working, i had this problem before with the red light but this was something different, at sound in my preffences there are no input or output devices not even my speakers or microphone.. After that i couldn't set the macbook in sleeping mode because it can't go back to normal anytime.. only when i hold the power button.. also when i start the MacBook i get a message that the computer restarted because of a problem every time! Please help me i don't know what to do..

X-Fi Titanium: Almost no sound from center speaker in 5.1 mode (optical out)
Hi everybody,
I have searched the forum, but not found any post regarding this problem, so I'm gonna post myself.
First of all: I have an X-Fi Titanium that is connected to my Home Theatre Dolby Digital/DTS Decoder via optical cable, so I use the DTS Li've encoding feature of my X-Fi to get 5. surround sound.
But from the beginning I've had the following problem: When I start a game, the sound is perfectly normal, but suddenly (not at a specific action, just out of nowhere) the sound from my center speaker is almost inaudible, extremely dull. So I can still hear, for example, the explosions or voices that come from the sides or the back, but everything that is right in front of me or is played back only through the center is almost silent.
When I quit the game, start the THX-Console and click on each speaker, all of them except the center speaker play back the test sound (like "front left", "front right" or whatever it is in the English version, I have the German version).
Switching to another mode (game, entertainment or the third, don't know what it's called in the English version), resetting the sound card via the control panel or clicking on "Standard" (or maybe "Default" in the English software?) does not bring back the sound on the center speaker, all I can do is switch to two-speaker- or headphones-mode so the center speaker is not used. Even rebooting windows does not work. I haven't figured out yet what exactly helps, but usually after a while suddenly the center works again.
The only reliable solution is to reinstall the whole software and driver, but with the slow Creative servers, it always takes hours to download all updates with Auto-Update, and installing everything with each single file for each little software module isn't much faster either.
I must say that I am very disappointed by Creative. Before my X-Fi Titanium I had an X-Fi Platinum, and the drivers really sucked. I hoped that this was because at that time, the X-Fi series was still quite new. But almost nothing has really improved since then. I would like to have ONE installation routine for the whole software package, with checkboxes to choose what I want to install, and not only when using the original CD, but also with the update files for download. And, most of all, I want the driver to just work! Since the beginning, I've only had problems with these cards.
Anyway, I hope someone can help me on this. Thanks a lot in advance.I think I see what is happening now.
When using the analog outputs (5.), you have to enable bass redirection, and set the front or back speakers to small in the "Bass Management" screen of the THX control panel.
Bass redirection does not send anything to the subwoofer if the front and back speakers are all set to large. There should be a bypass switch for this, so the bass can be sent to full size satellites and the subwoofer.
When using the spdif DDL output, my receiver would decode and send bass to the subwoofer on it's own.
Only buggy part I'm noticing now is that I lose all bass occasionally on boot, and must do an "Auto Detect..." in the "Speaker Configuration" screen of the THX control panel to get it back. -
Z77A-GD65 power led on sleep mode issue
Hello,
Just finished putting up my new gaming system. It's my second MSI mobo build. Everything works just fine except for one thing - power led won't blink on sleep mode, it stays lit up. I'm not sure if this is an OS issue. I've tried installing Win7 on two HDDs, one's IDE sata mode, and AHCI for the other one. Didn't make any difference. Computer will turn off and go to "sleep mode" but the power led will stay on. My MSI P67 mobo blinks when on sleep mode. Also, for the Z77 mobo, the ACPI setting on the BIOS has S3 mode, and it has "blinking" and "dual light" option for the sleep indicator, neither of these function properly. Even on BIOS v10.3, power led is still lit up on sleep mode. Flashed it to 10.5, still the same result. Overclocked or default, still the same result.
I really need an expert to tell me what is wrong with it. Is it a BIOS glitch? Or a defect?
Thanks in advance.
Jonthe power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled....... -
Macbook air keeps disconnecting from internet when going to sleep mode

Hello.
My G5 is making a low, quiet, rolling "VROoomm.....VROooomm......." sound. I have my G5 for over 3 years and either never noticed this sound before or am now noticing it. This happens whether applications are open or the computer is just idle. The only thing different I've done in the last few days is an install ( on phone with someone with apple because my new Quicktime Pro download was causing a ? symbol when I was using flash player, which unfortunately didn't work. I resolved this by turning off the MIME settings on quicktime ).
I just finished using Disk Warrior and the sound persists.
Is this normal or should I take some form of action?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!Hi Guys.
Sorry for the late response and much thanks for your responses to my question.
I opened up the G5 ( which has been placed on my floor since purchase ) and cleaned out the large amounts of dust. Took a while!
The same sound is there though. I think the machine is running a bit more smoothly because of it's lack of dust now. I'm thinking it's the hard drive now. Took a look inside just now and the fans are running low speed and constant.
The sound is about the same rate of speed as a heartbeat and just as constant. No wavering. No clicking or other strange sounds. Very low sound but I think more noticeable because of the consistency of it. Much like the sound of a small battery operated toy that one turns on and off every second or so. But muc lower.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm not sure if I've ever noticed the sound before because I usually have earphones in, music playing a fan on etc.
Would a normal working hard drive sound like this?
If it is the hard drive, does this sound mean an impending hard drive failure?
The machine is working great otherwise. Maybe I'm over reacting?
Everything is backed up just in case.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this question and for the help previous! -
Am having some problems with the sounds on my ipad, specifically my imessage notification sound when your ipad is in sleep mode and someone is messaging you. It seems to work with the swoosh sounds when you are actively messaging back and forth, but as soon as I close my ipad up and is locked or in sleep mode, I don't know anyone is messaging me until I look at my ipad. I've tried a few things.. But nothing has worked so far....Please help!
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Brand new home built system (all new components unless noted otherwise) running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on the following hardware:
MSI X58 Pro-E motherboard,
Intel Core i7-920 (2.66) CPU,
Enermax PRO82+ 525W powersupply,
Sapphire ATI HD5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E video,
8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM,
WD Velociraptor 150GB 10,000 RPM boot drive,
WD 500GB Caviar Black for file storage,
Plextor DVD-RW,
CoolerMaster case.
Older Viewsonic VP2030B monitor,
Older Microsoft Desktop 6000 V2 keyboard/mouse.
With standard Windows 7 power saving features enabled, the following
intermittent problems occur:
After the system has gone into sleep mode, the video card provides no signal to the monitor. Moving the mouse or touching keys on the keyboard obviously bring the system back out of sleep mode, but no video signal is received. Unplugging the DVI-D
cable from the card results in the Windows sound indicating a change. Plugging it back in, results in a Windows sound indicating the change. This happens when you unplug one end of the cable, it doesn't matter if it is at the monitor end or the video card
end - as long as the other end is of course still plugged in. The only resolution to this "no video" state is to reboot the computer with the power or reset button.
On some occasions when turning the PC on, there is no video signal. The system boots properly (although the BIOS screen takes about 15 seconds to appear - something MSI says is OK), and can be shut down with the correct keyboard sequence. The monitor
runs through VGA, DVI-A and DVI-D, but no signal is ever received so it goes into standby mode.
When the computer boots properly, usually while it is still loading Outlook (which is set to start automatically), the screen goes completely blank for 5 or more seconds, then comes back on and the monitor menu indicates that it is running at the correct
resolution, and then the video works correctly from there on in - unless it goes to sleep.
On some occasions, when recovering from a "no video after sleep mode" incident, everything on the screen has been moved towards the upper left side of the screen. The Outlook window which is normally quite large (80%) and centred on the screen has been reduced
in size to about 50% and shoved into the top left corner. Also, the 4 gadgets that normally run vertically along the right side of the screen have been moved up and towards the middle of the screen, one or two of them often overlap others.
Things I have done/tried:
All Windows 7 updates,
All motherboard BIOS updates,
All video card drivers and software updates from ATI,
Replaced the DVI-D cable,
Uninstalled the video card and drivers, and moved the card to a different PCI-E slot,
Replaced the video card with another Sapphire ATI HD5450 card (temporarily).
Sapphire thinks it's a hardware problem with the original card, but since temporarily replacing it with another card, the problems continue, so I doubt that is the issue. (Plus I have to pay $25 to ship the apparently defective - under warranty card - back
to them.)
These problems have happened intermittently since the system was built in January 2010 and they seem to be quite random, sometimes not happening for weeks, other times happening every few days. Sometimes the system is in sleep mode for 1/2 hour and it happens,
other times it is in sleep mode for hours and it happens (or doesn't).
Any help would be appreciated.Hi again,
OK, I finally got around to trying this. I still have to check if that actually fixed it, but I managed to get into the "Factory" OSD screen.
I had my system running, disconnected my new monitor and plugged in the flaky old Viewsonic. I then:
1. Depressed and held down the #2 button, then depressed and held down the Power button,
2. Almost immediately the amber power light turned-on, the backlight turned on and the output image from the PC showed up.
3. The On Screen Display (OSD) for all the monitor setting came up (at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle where it normally is), and underneath the Main Menu window in the OSD, along the bottom of the overall OSD window, the word "Factory" appears
in the middle between the control button keys (#1 for exit, and #2 for enter). (It's not normally there.)
4. Using the down arrow key on the face of the monitor, I highlighted the "Factory" menu item, pressed the #2 key and voula! there was a whole new simple white text on bright blue background window, which among all sorts of settings included "Factory Reset"
(which is the default selection).
5. I pressed #2 again to accept and it was done.
All that is left is to do is some user testing to see if the monitor behaves as new.
Additional informtion: in the top of the "Factory" menu it reads: "LOVP AU Ver.0.36"
I took photos of everything and will post them on my Flickr account. To find them go to wwww.flickr.com, click on the search button, then on the next screen click on the People tab, enter my name and click search.
Thanks again for the advice.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw don't go to sleep mode
Hi and sorry for my english In settings of HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw I tryed 15 and 5 minutes before sleep mode. After 15 or 5 minutes printer going to sleep, but if I'm used printer even only one time, after that he don't sleep ( printer's screen not dim), not after 5 and 15 minutes. Printer is connected through wi-fi, Windows 8.1 x64. Any ideas?)
Hi Denis88,
I see by your post that the printer isn't going into sleep mode.
I can help you with this issue.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
I would update the printer's firmware if the printer won't go into sleep mode.

HP Officejet Pro 8625 - Will not acknowledge incoming fax while in sleep mode
HP Officejet Pro 8625 - Will not acknowledge incoming fax while in sleep mode. The sender receives an error "no answer".
When I call the fax number, if I touch the screen it will wake up immediately to receive the fax.
Printing from the computer while in sleep mode works fine.
Please advise. Im missing important faxes and can only set sleep mode to a maximum of 15 mins, so I have an alarm set to touch my machine every 15 mins. sigh...
Thank you,Hi Willia,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see when your HP Officejet Pro 8625 enters sleep mode, you are unable to receive any incoming faxes. The senders will receive a 'no answer' error. I understand your printer will wake up from sleep mode if you send a print job.
First let's go ahead and make sure the OJ 8625 is plugged directly into a wall outlet, using a power bar or surge protector can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time. To get a better understanding take a look here: Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
Now, I would like you to update your printers Firmware, click on the link below and follow the on screen instructions:
HP Officejet Pro 8620/8625 Firmware Update
Are you now able to receive incoming faxes when the OJ 8625 is in sleep mode? If not, I would like you to contact our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

All-in-one 6830 printer Does not enter sleep mode when connected to a phone line
HP staff help. HP all-in-one printer 6830 does not enter sleep mode when conntected to a phone line via 1-Line jack. The Firmware is PNP1CN1521AR. On August 1, 2015, I purchased an HP all-in-one 6830 printer and upgraded to firmware PNP1CN1521AR.When a phone line is connected to 1-Line jack of 6830, the printer will no longer enter sleep mode and the display remains on indefinitly.Removing the phone connection either from the wall outlet or from the printer causes the sleep mode to work correctly again where the control panel display turns off after 5 minutes (or optionally after 10 or 15 minutes).This problem was previously reported by a user and has not been resolved, see:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Sleep-mode-of-Officejet-Pro-6830/td-p/4772182 The user did not receive a resolution to this problem according to the thread.
There seems to be a 6830 printer firmware or hardware problem causing this. HP should be able to confirm this problem on 6830 easily.
Please advise ASAP.
ThanksIt's a regular analog phone line. I've tested it with other phone lines. No difference. I have another all-in-one printer which works fine (goes to sleep mode) when plugged into the same phone line.
The 6830 works ok in other aspects. The only problem is the sleep mode. Any 6830 with the firmware I mentioned should replicate the same result, regardless of anything else. The previous firmware to PNP1CN1521AR also created this problem according to the original report of this problem by another user.
I'm sure there's a bug in the firmware. A subroutine in the firmware monitoring the incoming fax ringing, mistakenly, sees the voltage across the phone jack pins as an event and wakes up the printer instantly even though there's no ringing. As the previous user also suspected, there seems to be an error in the phone line voltage threshold used by the firmware. The present firmware always sees a ringing at the phone line which causes it to never stay in sleep mode. -
Satellite P200D-11R sound and graphics crash after waking up from sleep mode
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences to mine (below) or can offer any solutions.
I have upgraded my P200D-11R OS to Vista 64 Ultimate to take advantage of the extra performance. I also add that the BIOS has already been updated to version 1.4.
Well, everything works fine with the standard 2Gig of RAM which the laptop was supplied with originally, however, when I upgrade the RAM to 4Gig (2 x 2GB Samsung 667mHz modules), sound and graphics problems appear every time the machine is brought back from sleep mode.
The sound card makes a very laud fuzzy noise every time it wants to play a sound and the graphics produce lots of horizontal lines on the screen. I then just have to restart the machine which means loosing all my unsaved work.
Everything works fine as long as the machine does not enter sleep mode. I have currently disabled the sleep mode to prevent the machine from entering it but I am finding life very hard without it.
I am very surprised and also disappointed at the fact that Toshiba did not test these machines with Vista 64 Ultimate and 4Gig of RAM!
Extra info:
The memory is the same Samsung type as the 1Gig modules supplied by Toshiba originally with the machine, and the part number Toshiba recommends.
I have tried installing other (more recent) device drivers by Realtek and ATI without any improvements.
The memory modules pass all tests and are not defective. They have also been tested on my friends Dell notebook with no problems even in sleep mode.
I have installed my friends Dell 2Gig memory modules in my P200D and they too produce exactly the same results with post-sleep crashes.
My thoughts are that this must be another BIOS issue unless anyone can shed some light on the issue from another angle.
Please help! Many thanks in advance.Hi Sascha
Since you are running a Vista 32bit version, the upper limit of the memory recocnised by the machine is 3.2gb which is the maximum a 32bit operating system can address and use. The diffrence here is that I also upgraded my OS to Vista Ultimate 64bit to get yet better performance out of the 64bit dual AMD processor.
3.2gb of RAM on 32bit OS does not necessarily increase the performance. However, it keeps the performance stable when you open many more programs at the same time since the machine has more RAM to play with before staring to use the much slower hard drive as operating memory (Page File), to keep all thoes open programs running.
A 64bit OS such as Vista Ultimate 64, recognises the whole 4gb of RAM and much more (for instance, 8gb with 2 x 4gb RAM modules). The 64bit OS itself would generally consume more RAM to start with, however, with 4gb I found the general performance to be much better. Going back to the problem however, my P200D-11R with Ultimate 64 and 4gb RAM refuses to wake up from sleep mode gracefully and the graphics and sound crash every time, forcing me to restart.
My feelings at present is that eventhough your machine may be slightly different, I bet if you upgrade your OS to 64bit, the machine will start recognising all of the 4gb of RAM and post-sleep crashes will start to appear!
