Superdrive makes horrible noise when burning

My Super drive makes this horrible noise when burning cd's or dvd's. Its like a vibration w/ loud noise.. Sometimes when I play dvd, i can hear this noise a little bit as well. Now I've only started hearing this noise once I started ripping dvd w/ a dvd rip program... I dont know if this can be the cause of this noise, does anyone have any advise on how to solve this problem. now I am afraid of burning any cd's, dvd's because I do not want to cause any damage to the computer itself.. Help.....

Hello Muntasir
Maybe try a different brand, the superdrives are very picky about media. I normaly buy only Memorex, Maxell, Sony DVD's and Sony or Fujifilm CDs for the cars CD players. I just think your better off buying them in the 5 packs untill you find out which one's the drive likes.

Superdrive Making Awful Noises When Burning

When I burn a CD through iTunes, it makes an awful buzzing sound that vibrates the whole computer. A few discs in particular also sound like they are scraping something after they are inserted. I have also found a couple of minor scratches on some discs after burning or importing.
I hope this is not normal!!

Hello Betterlead,
It is most certainly NOT normal. If the MacBook is still in its warranty - Take it back for checks.

20" iMac (white) Superdrive makes loud noise when spinning a disc

When a disc is in the drive and it begins to spin, the drive makes a LOUD humming noise. The noise stops when the disc stops spinning. This has been happening since the first day with my new toy.
Could it be that the drive will need replacing? It is still under warranty.

i would call apple and if they don't have a quick fix make an apptmnt at the genius bar and take the thing in for a replacement. im having the same problem and it really is quite annoying. I really hope apple will replace it with a new drive, this is not what i intended on getting for spending this much money...

Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
I can send a private message with another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is this a new printer?

I have him for 3 weeks now, and he didn't do it before. It just sounds like normal hard-drive sounds my old computer makes, but in my opinion it's not normal.
anyone experience with this?

I had that problem too before.
I waited for 2 days and it stopped.
My friends banged it on the floor and it was perfect (exepet for a small dent.)

Is there a way to set up a dial tone or a way for someone who is hard of hearing to have the phone set up to make a noise when I hold it up to my ear?

Is there a way to set up an dial tone or set the phone up to make a noise when I hold it up to my ear when i use it

I'm also not sure what you want to accomplish by this. Until you hit the "call" button, the phone is not 'off hook' like a traditional landline would be. There is no such thing as a dial tone on any cell phone. The dial tone was simply a carrier signal from the central office that prepared that end to listen for the pulses (later tones) generated when you dialed.

My thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop

my thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop. It sounds like an electronic noise which doesn't come through the speakers. Any advice how to eliminate this?

Could be a poor ground. Try plugging the monitor directly into the wall (no power strip) and see what happens.

It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else. Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

Hey there cameronw99,
It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod Touch screen, as it stays black but it makes the connection tone when you plug in the USB cable. Use these steps to resolve the issue with the iPod from the following article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
chttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Superdrive making clicking noise when my Macbook Pro is lifted

Hello all,
I recently had my New 13.3 in. Macbook Pro displayed replaced and now when I lift the Macbook, the superdrive makes a clicking noise similar to the sound when a dvd-rom can't read a disc. There is no dvd in the drive during this time. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with their Macbook Pro.
I have another question, when I received my macbook with the replaced display, the display had several patches of dirt and an line scratch underneath the screen. Will apple replace the screen for me again or is it possible to have the entire macbook replaced? This is very frustrating to have to send in my brand new macbook for repairs twice in one month...
Thank you advance for your help.
David
