Strange noises when opening up from sleep + diagnose

What is making my macbook laptop make a "trash" noise whenver i wake the laptop from sleep. , it might be something to do with the airport or with the program Adium, im not sure - i can't figure it out though.
also - the low buzzing from the left keyboard is still common right? + the macbook firmware update does make your fan run at a constant low rate too correct?
1.82 macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

The 'trash' noise is strage ...do you mean like emptying the trash? I run both Adium and Airport as well - no issues though. Could it be the CD drive resetting itself - if so this is normal.
What the update does is not specific - Apple won't tell you the details aside from saying it'll address general issues.

And yes, the buzzing is the CPU. Sometimes I notice it and sometimes I don't.
(and sometimes I wish I didn't)

  • Trashing noise when mbp wakes from sleep

    oh now i've started posting i keep thinking of new things that don't seem right!
    for the last few months i have noticed that when i wake my mbp up from sleep, it always makes a few strange noises much the same as when you empty the trash bin as it crunches stuff.
    has anyone else had this and might know why its doing it - is it serious?
    also, just going through my system profiler now to check some things - i have had the spinning ball again for quite some time which i hardly ever used to have.
    when this starts happening, is it a sign of something serious with the machine and can i do anything?
    thanks again

    thanks sig for your response and i shall certainly give the rebooting a try from disc and running repair disk.
    However, i am sorry if i have caused any offence but I am terribly confused about how i might have offended anyone by my use of shortcut language - the only thing i can see I've done is use the macbook pro initials which isn't unusual on this forum as i can see and not capitalise some of my letters.
    'a modicum of respect' seems a little harsh and i haven't been pulled up on such things for many many years.........
    i have always been very polite and very grateful on this forum.
    strange world.

  • High power comsumptio​n and wrong setting when waking up from sleep

    See here for some more information: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-RTM-Discussi​on/High-Power-Consumption-with-Windows-7/td-p/1668​...
    Settings: T400, integrated GPU,"maximum battery live" power sheme, brightness level 3, wlan on. Newest switchable graphics driver, power manager and power management drivers installed, SU4 didn't find newer drivers.
    Power consumption is between 12-16W most of the time, whereas it was close to 10W on XP, from what i heard from a friend, i installed win7 on my machine right after i bought the thinkpad.
    When waking up from sleep( i think hibernation as well) power consumption is abnormal, because both GPUs are activated. You have to switch to to the dedicated and back to the integrated via power manager to deactivate the ATI, which is very annoying.
    Is lenovo working on these issues or are there any workaroungs already?

    I've got similar problems on a T400 with hybrid graphics running Windows 7 x64 Professional, upgraded from Vista x64 Professional. I've upgraded everything to the latest (driver, bios, etc etc) using System Update.
    When I boot up from cold, and switch to using batteries, the power consumption is around 8w. Very good.
    Then I suspend, and resume from suspend, and the power consumption shoots up to like 20w. Horrible.
    Then I manually switch to "High performance" and then back to "Energy saving", the power consumption comes back down, but to >9w, which is like 13% above the original 8w level. Acceptable, but not good.
    This seems to indicate there're at least two problems with the power management aspect of T400 + Win7 x64:
    First, there is the well-known problem that both internal and external graphics cards get turned on upon resume. Lenovo, please fix this problem. It's completely unacceptable to have to manually perform that switching every time one closes, and then opens the lid, or loss 60% of the battery life.  And I do need to use the external GPU from time to time, so disabling it at BIOS level is not acceptable either.
    Second, there is the more subtle problem that some other hardware/driver besides the graphics card makes the T400 draw an extra >1w upon resume.
    I really wonder if these problems occur with T400 preinstalled with Win7 x64. If they do, shouldn't every major laptop review sites take notice of the defect and warn people. If they don't, then I do not really see why it's so hard for Lenovo to provide earlier users with the right driver/registry patch/etc to enable the correct behavior. As far as I know, these problems have not been fixed since Win7 came out.
    Finally let me add that other that this, I'm extremely satisfied with my T400/Win7 system. The thermal dissipation, noise level, and durability are just top-notch. But this just makes the above mentioned problems more of a thorn in the side!

  • Disk Drive Ejecting When Woken Up From Sleep

    Hello,
    I noticed when my iMac wakes from sleep it sounds like the disc drive is ejecting?
    I just received this iMac after returning another one with a pixel problem and I could swear that it didn't make the same noise when it wakes up from sleep.
    Does anyone know anything about this ?
    Thanks

    They all did it by default but apple put out a firmware update a few weeks ago which stops certain drives doing this when woken up from sleep.

  • Strange problem when opening word doc situated in WLS virtual dir

    Hi all,
    we have a strange problem when opening word doc
    situated in C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\webutil
    we put some word docs there and tried to open from forms using for example web.show_document('http://wp0606:9001/forms/webutil/mug00103.doc', '_blank');
    no problem using FF, however in IE8 the word doc is shown in its binary format, this also happens when we try to open the doc in IE8
    however when we google and search for instance for a test.doc and then click on this url a file save dialog is shown
    that's why we believe that this might be due to a configuration issue of WLS
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    Kr
    Martin

    I think you have 2 ways to go here. Figure out what html is from wherever weblogic gets it, meaning you have to delve into the docs, snoop
    around in directories and find what it must be sending (This is going to be unavoidable if you are going to change what weblogic is doing.
    Sooner or later you have to try to figure out where it gets this stuff from)
    or
    you can experimentally snoop on your url with a tool like wget or curl. These are fundamental web tools.
    The latter is always a useful thing to be able to do. (you need to formulate a query to get the content-type).
    Whoever managed to get weblogic to serve any files in the first place probably can figure this out.

    Hello,
    My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
    The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
    It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
    Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?

    Thanks

    Hello alexandrefromfrance
    Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
    Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
    Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
    Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
    Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
    Click OK and close the Network preferences.
    Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
    Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".

Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
    Restart your computer.
    Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 hangs when opening project from JDeveloper 11.1.1.6

    Hello! I have a problem here which I can't solve. I also asked this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365031/jdeveloper-11-1-2-3-hangs-when-opening-project-from-jdeveloper-11-1-1-6/14369211#14369211 . The whole story in short. I have a JavaEE client-server project in JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, where it works like a charm. Recently I had to upgrade JDeveloper version to the latest 11.1.2.3. The first problem was that the standard procedure of migrating project from the older version of JDeveloper to the newer one did not help: IDE was hanging forever all the time with no apparent (for me) reason, log file was silent about that. Then I tried another way: I just created the same project from the beginning and put there all necessary source files, libraries, set project properties etc. Still nothing, but now found the way to obtain a kind of error at least. I ran C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe from the command line and got the following (e.g. when I started running debug):
    Jan 16, 2013 8:52:09 PM oracle.ideimpl.runner.StarterFactoryDescriptionImpl logError

    But I don't know what could be the next step... Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your attention!

    Hi,
    not sure if you have a support contract or work for Oracle. In both cases the best option is to file a bug (service request)

    Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine?  WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to.  I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop.  WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator.  What is that all about?

    Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
    However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
    Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
    Thank you folks for any advice you can give,

  • Can't use mouse/keyboard/trackpad when waking iMac from sleep mode

    Basically as the title says. When I wake my iMac from sleep mode I am unable to use my keyboard/trackpad/mouse during the login window. Once the screen goes black by itself, after a minute or so I can then log in properly.
    Yes the keyboard/mouse/trackpad are all connected when it wakes from sleep as I can use any of them to wake it from sleep, I just can't move them or type with them in the login window.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How to wake up opened MacBook from sleep -x only external display running

    How to wake up opened MacBook from sleep - only external display running? I dont shut down my MacBook and I am using only external monitor. Lid closed it is not good idea, sometimes is MacBook and main MacBook display to warm. So I must six times per day open and close my MacBook. Any solutions?

    Sure, the added heat sink and dissipator will help. Although a gel pad has a lot of heat capacity, meaning it has the ability to absorb a lot of heat, eventually it will saturate with heat from the MB and reach a point of stasis. Then it gets rid of heat the same way the Mac does, namely radiation and conduction into other things around and in contact with it, including air. Of course the Mac has a fan if it needs it. The gel pad doesn't.
    If the gel pad is sitting on a metal surface, like a steel file cabinet or something like that, it helps to drain the heat away from the pad, and by extension, the Mac. The aluminum cookware worked like that. I had heat capacity of its own, but more importantly, it added to the surface area that was performing convection cooling. So, yes, both together give a better result.
