Popping noise after 10.4.10 update

I have a speaker system plugged into my MacBook, and immediately after I updated to 10.4.10, I started hearing this little popping noise every couple of minutes through my speakers. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't even notice if there's any background noise, but it can be extremely annoying if you're working and it just keeps coming up randomly.
Has anyone else noticed this? I've tried to isolate it to being caused by an application, but it seems to happen even when nothing else is running.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

Hi
Plenty of threads by the look of it:

As far as I can tell, it happens to people with external speakers. I have no external speakers at all, no popping.

Clicking noise after downloading the security update...

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else's MacBook has a clicking noise after they did the system update for the security,sounds like it is coming from the top right hand corner.
If anyone knows what might be causing this problem, do let me know.
Thanks,
Sam

Could the noise be coming from the hard drive (lower right corner?)
And, is the 'click' the same sound that the HDD makes once, normally, just before the whole computer turns off during shut down or sleep?
My clicking HDD began right after downloading the last Security Update (the one released in May), but I concluded that was just a coincidence. Nevertheless, when I installed yesterday's security update I couldn't help but secretly hope it might stop the clicks. No such luck... I still doubt it has anything to do wuth it. Just thought I'd ask...

Popping noise after export

So my song plays just fine in GarageBand, but when I export to iTunes, there are some popping noises that come in (very subtly) at the same parts in the song. Here are some troubleshooting things I've already checked:
1) It is not my speakers -- I've tried two different pairs of headphones, and another set of speakers.
2) I do not have the decibels amped in the GarageBand edit.
3) I've tried reducing the decibel levels to all negatives, and it still pops in the same spots.
4) I've tried exporting the song in all different formats, compressed and uncompressed.
Anyone know of something else that might work? Thanks!

Did you change your song's tempo after recording? If GB has to re-render a sound file, it often introduces artefacts.

Speaker keeps making a small popping noise after a call

Right after a call whether on speaker phone or not the speaker keeps popping. Very small noise, hardly noticeable, but it eventually keeps getting louder and pops in about 10-15 sec intervals.
I don't think I care about the noise, it's hardly audible, but is it taking away the little battery life it has?

I just got the 5s, every time in try to update my apps it's asking for a second password to an Apple ID that is not mine-- it asks for mine and then another one pops up after I enter mine .what do I do?

Macbookpro5,5 has a noise after update?

was curious if other mbp users noticed a noise? i hadn't had it before, but after doing a large update i noticed it and it is driving me mad. it is like a pulsating, high pitched buzz originating near the fan area.
the noise goes away if i do something like play a flash video or whatever. anyone have any ideas what caused it and what i can do to remove it?

i've only been using the default power management stuff. i had installed cpufreq-utils, sensors, and laptop-mode, but whether i load those or not, the sound persists.
the upgrade was from kernels 2.6.34 to 36, but after downgrading it didn't seem to matter. i upgraded like 200 something packages and didn't try downgrading them all. i'll probably try to downgrade them all this weekend and go through them one by one and see if anything changes (but i really don't want to do that).
until then, running glxgears in the background keeps it busy enough so i don't have to hear any whining.
edit: oh, and no errors i found in the logs.

Audio Input Noise After Recent Update

Something happened after the most recent update, I now have terrible line level hiss/noises when using the built-in input on my MacBook Pro. No trouble with my Firewire audio input though. The noise is really bad and records to track, making me believe that this is an input issue. I'm not positive that it's from the LE8 update (it could have been any recent update) but I've never had this problem before. It happens with both Logic Express and Garageband, rendering the audio input useless. Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem, and when I put my hand on the audio plug I feel something like static electricity.
I installed 10.4.x, no noise and no electricity
I don't know any other solution
My english is really really bad..

My apple iphone airplay button doesnt pop up after update

my apple iphone airplay button doesnt pop up after update. can anyone help?

Okay... some how I got out of a previous posting that Wi-Fi was not working.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? What about a reset or restart of the AppleTv?

Mid 2012 MacBook Pro w/ Retina Making Popping Noises

When my MacBook is opening up to 15 tabs in Firefox or anything intensive I hear popping noises coming from my computer. I held down the D key at startup and am doing the full testing as suggested and am hearing the popping noises there to. What should I do? Thanks, Jeff

Make sure your Airport card is turned off. There have been a lot of people reporting problems with pops and clicks after the latest Airport card update, and turning the card off seems to alleviate the problem.

My mid-2011 MacBook Air bricks itself after 10.7.2 update

I have a new MacBook Air (11") that was working just great, until today. Today, I used Software Update to install the updates, which included 10.7.2 as well as the recue partition update.
I did everything you're supposed to do, and when it rebooted, the gray screen comes up, and it shows the spinny doohickey on the bottom showing that it's working. Then, suddenly, up pops a big "no" icon (the circle with the slash through it) after about 60 seconds.
It simply doesn't do anything after that.
Hard-power-off, wait, power-on, repeat, same thing.
So I reboot with cmd-R to get the rescue partition. It works fine; I ask it to re-install Mac OS X, which then takes about 45 minutes (argh). Finally, Mac OS X is back, the machine is nicely booted up, all my files are there, everything is good.. But of course, the reinstall took me back to 10.7.1.
All I want to do is upgrade my fricking iPhone to IOS 5.0, but I can't do that without knowing I can sync which requires iCloud which of course requires 10.7.2. So I *have* to re-do the upgrade.
Back to Software Update, back to installing 10.7.2. And .. 20 minutes later .. back to bricked MacBook Air.
What a waste of my time. What a failure, Apple. I'm very very very very very unhappy that I've wasted so much time just to update my damned iPhone to IOS 5. I'm still without an update. Now I'm trying to figure out how to move my iTunes to another machine -- not nearly as obvious as it should be. ARGH. I'm going to throw this MacBook Air off the balcony in about 10 minutes. :-(
Thanks for listening.
Steve

Wow, you're right -- I can't believe it. I just really can't believe they would screw up so badly, yet when I search for "10.7.2 filevault" I don't find more than a couple of articles about it on the web (including this thread). Why on earth wouldn't Apple have put up some kind of warning about this? I can't believe it, really. It's insane.
On my newly-functional 10.7.2 MBA, I wanted to test your theory and so I turned on filevault 2 and encrypted the main disk again. It of course wanted me to reboot. So I rebooted. And *blammy* -- same error / boot failure. Wow. Also, interestingly, even on a working 10.7.2 system, you can't mount a USB drive that was encrypted using Filevault 2 encryption (in Disk Utility, e.g., as a "Mac OS X, journalled, encrypted" volume that was encrypted with DiskUtility on Lion 10.7.1). I still have a 10.7.1 machine that I will not upgrade until I can at least decrypt the disk -- but right now, Disk Utility tells me it fails decrypting the external USB disk so I'm hosed!!! ARGH.
Now, going back to the booting problem after upgrade -- for anyone's reference who's still keeping score -- you can easily recover from the booting problem with upgrading a Filevault 2 root drive: Power-cycle the machine and then hold down cmd-r to bring up the Lion Recovery application. Within Lion Recovery, choose "Disk Utility", and then click on the (as yet unmounted, still encrypted) root hard drive to select it. Then go to the File menu, and choose "Turn off encryption" for this disk. It then prompts you for the password, and if you enter it, *blammy* you're back up and running again.
In my case, the disk had only just begun encrypting so the action was instant, and then once it confirmed the disk was now decrypted, I simply chose "Restart" from the Apple menu, and I was back in business (no hairy re-installs to deal with). If this is an already-encrypted volume, presumably it'll take you a bit longer (the normal 45-minutes to 2 hours) to decrypt it. But at least no more installing software -- it'll "just work".
Maybe I'll go post a simpler version of these instructinos on the other threads, but this is the simplest fix -- just turn off filevault 2 from within Lion Recovery, basically, and that fixes the boot problems.
Apple, if you're listening, you really really really need to say something to your users so they know. Many many many MBA users are likely to have still not upgraded. You can prevent them from hating you and your products by making sure they don't screw the pooch here. Short version: Mid-2011 MacBook Airs running Filevault 2 WILL NOT BOOT after 10.7.2 update; so users should turn off Filevault2 before upgrading.

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

Pop Noise from Audio Out While Using iTunes 9.0.1

I have a black MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.1. I have a a pair of computer speakers plugged to the MacBook's audio out minijack. Every time I run iTunes to play my music everything goes fine until I stop the music (you know with the space bar or the stop button). 30 seconds after I stop the music a loud pop noise comes up and stops, as if some electrical device was receiving a charge of electricity. When I play music back again on iTunes, the same noise comes up again with the music and goes away immediately while the music continues all right.
This is what I have done so far:
Change my energy saving parameter to several different configurations (perhaps the hard drive stopping when unused was the cause) but none fix it.
Turned off Airport...did not fix it
I timed the pop noise and it happens exactly 30 seconds after I stop my music on iTunes and then again 30 seconds after music has been stopped unless I start playing the music back again and the pop noise sounds again.
Any help would be appreciated as I use my MacBook to play music sequences for my band (I am the drummer) so the darn noises come through our PA system (and I also tried my small computer speakers and it does the same thing).
Thanks,

I spent a good amount of time reading several discussions. Apple is aware of this issue but no solution as of yet. The popping noise is "normal" behavior and happens because of how the sound system is programmed in the computer.
The solution (sorry for the bad news) is to not use the audio out minijack at all. Instead, get an audio interface that connects to your USB port and then route the output signal from your audio interface to your speakers, headphones or PA system. The popping noise will not sound. I tested it several times.
If the only cable you have is a minijack male type then go to Radio Shack and get adapters. I had to get me an adapter that takes two RCA males and converts them to a female minijack type.
Good luck.
