This sound is killing me!

this is my first mbp...c2d, just bought last friday...
i've used two other mbps before (a few months ago) and they never had this sound...it's like a jet plane
is this the 'whine'? b/c sounds more like the fans are on overdrive...and it only seems to happen when i'm doing 'intensive' stuff...but i don't really consider it intensive..i'm just importing from a 200GB external into itunes and iphoto....
please tell me this is normal...
i bought the c2d thinking that all the problems would be solved.........i'm not exactly happy about this fan .....it's like the mbp is geting ready to take off on a runway or something....

You can download a program to tell you your temp and fan speed. At then you will have an idea what is going on.
This guy created a program (no opinion on safety) that tells you temp and fan speed. It even allows you to change the fan speed.

On line banking for another person, my Mom, who I have power of attorney for heard ppffzzzttt while inputting Mom's sensitive id info in while trying to log in again? I've had the iPad 3/ 4 & 4.5 and never heard this sound before.

I tried to access my Mother's bank for online banking. She has had a slow decline with dementia, I'm Power Of Attorney for her. When not being able to sign in, I heard through the iPad 4 Wi-fi 64 gig, a measured buzz sound, like ppffzzzttt. I've had 3 / 4 & 4.5 and never heard this sound before.
I have had Power of Attorney for my Mom for quite some time. She has been suffering with dementia in a slow then sped up type after her last heart attack. I was the worst candidate for the job but no one else would take it.
I set up banking on line so I could pay her bills. I am disabled and have trouble paying my own. The iPad again filled those shoes perfectly.
I logged on yesterday, and the page said, user name not found. I figured it might have been server maintenance or poor typing but even with all personal details the server would not send my user name.
I became concerned because today I received the Vudu letter that said their headquarters were broken into on March 25th, 2013, and a number of hard drives were stolen with all info they keep on me. They set up an all clear id free of charge for a year, if I wanted to take advantage of it which I did.
The part that bothers me is when I was inputting my Mother's sensitive id information my iPad 4 / Wi-Fi / 64 gig emitted a measured buzz sound 3 times. I have had the 3 / 4 / 4.5 / faster processor but did not go for the 128 gig 4.75, and in all that time I have never heard that sound.
The question, was the bank computer or the FBI probing my iPad 4 and did it place something on it in the memory or damage it in anyway.
I was on the phone for the next three hours with the good, bad and ugly at Citizens. After talking to an acquaintance bank manager who said she saw no problem and did not know why I could not log in. I spent the next three hours on the phone and ended up talking to a nasty tech who said, it was a rule that I could not do my Mother's banking on line anymore. A "rule" prevented me from acting in that manner. It all, from every party sounded so "hinky," Don Johnson, Miami Vice and wondered if there was a rule at all.
I asked him why and what triggered the on line banking system to suddenly boot me? The fact I had set it up about one year ago to date and it has performed flawlessly since that time and a whole year later it flagged the account. He said it could have been anything, pressing the wrong key, etc. I knew he was getting edgy so I ended up getting off the line with him because nothing would be accomplished.
I would appreciate any and all speculations, ideas, or suggestions as I look over banking law, rules, in the next few days. By the way, the money we are talking about is miniscule. A small SS check and an even smaller pension check.
Thank you,

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight.

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight unless I want to run out and buy the latest and greatest overpriced apple product.

Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.

Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.

I have bopped around the forums here for a while now, and while other people seem to have had the same problem as I am having in the past, I come to find that all of the solutions that have worked for others, do not in fact, work for me.
I am running Flash Professional CS6 On an Acer Aspire. 4 Gigs of RAM, 500 Gigs of HD.
The exact problem that I am having is as follows:
I record a sound bit in Audacity, Export the sound as and MP3 File on my main computer Hard Drive.
go to File>Import>Import to Library, I locate the file that I had created, then select it to be imported to my Library.
I then create a new layer in my timeline, Label it as sound, place a new key frame into the timeline layer at the place in the animation that i hope the sound would start, set the audio sync to stream instead of event, then press CTRL+ENTER, which initiates the Test Movie function.
At this time, the "Output" box Pops up and it states,
"Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored."
No sound is played and i cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. I have tried all the troubleshoots that i can find online. I checked the publishing settings and nothing is being Overridden, I've attempted to untick the "export device sounds" option, but it is grayed out and cannot be toggled. I have attempted switching the MP3 format sound clip to a WAV format sound clip. I have attempted to re-recording the sound clip and re-importing the clip to the library. I have checked my computers speakers and everything is in working order and i have even checked to see if other projects sound works.
I pulled up a previous project that i had finished a while back that had loads of sound imported the exact same way and it all works exactly as i expect it too. The sound plays, there is not "Output" box claiming an issue. It seems that the issue, whatever it might be, is stuck to this project itself.
I have even started a new project, imported and placed both the MP3 and the WAV files into the sound layer created, CTRL+ENTER, and it works just fine without problem.
If there is anything that i might have accidentally messed up in this projected that you know about, like settings that may have been changed that would cause such an annoying and seemingly unfixable issue, please let me know. I really do not want to loose this project over such an utterly stupid error.

I've moved your question to the Flash Pro CC forum.

Does This Sound Good?

I'm a student and am looking at purchasing a MacBook Pro to replace and old Dell Desktop. On my laptop I plan on having about 40-50Gb of iTunes movies, Music, TV Shows, etc. Also, being a student, I am obviously going to use Microsoft Office all of the time and probably iWork '06. I am also purchasing Final Cut Express HD because I do like to play around and edit digital video. And of course, I do tons of web browsing.
This is my first mas and this is how I would like to configure it.
15.4" Display
2.16GHz C2D
1GB RAM (I will buy another 1GB stick from newegg.com)
160Gb Hard Drive
iWork '06 Pre-installed
And later in the year when I have more money, get the AppleCare PLan
Let me know if this sounds like an Okay configuration for my needs.

Hi,
that sounds like a config that fits your needs.
Two suggestions:
1. Don't buy iWork preinstalled, but play with the 30-day demo, that is already on the HD.
If you like it, you can buy it later for the same price, if not, you save money.
2. Instead of MS Office, which with version 2004 isn't Universal Binary (that should come with version 2008 later this year), have a look at NeoOffice.
It is free and capable of reading the 2007-Windows-file formats.
Have Fun
Stefan

Does this sound like a dead Time Capsule?

Came home this aft to no WIFI. Checked and the light was off on my Time Capsule (first generation) but otherwise intenret connectios seemed OK.
Powered the TC off/on; green light came on momentarily, changed to orange for about 30 seconds, then went off again. Repeated the cycle several times with no difference.
I have noticed recently that the hard-drive in my TC was getting noisy but everything appeared to be working until a few hours ago.
I recall there were issues with the early Time Capsules and sudden death. Does this sound like that situation?
Welcome advice on whether current generation Time Capsules are more reliable or would a better course be to replace it with a generic router and seprate backup disk?
Thanks ..donald

Apple treated me well on this. My TC was 15 months out of warranty when I took it to the Genius Bar. About the only question asked was "do you have Apple Care on another product?", following which a replacement TC was produced, some paperwork signed and I was on my way.
Only a couple of reservations:
The replacement TC, according to the Genius, is new "service stock" (not a refurnished unit) but the same model as my original TC; i.e. First Generation. This leaves me guessing it will have about a 2-yaer lifespan as well, so I I should plan on upgrading well in advance. I'll be listening carefully for strange noises and watching how hot it gets.
The second reservation is about security of the information on the TC; al the Time Machine backups plus a little bot of other stuff. The old TC was boxed for return to Apple and I have to trust Apple that it will be securly destroyed. Trust is a big thing.

I just bought my macbook and ever 15 minutes there like bubble sound coming from my macbook which is very annoying and I don't know where this sound coming from?

every once in a whiel, randomly, my macbook retnia display which I just purcheased will make a weird bubble sound. it's not the sound that it makes when you send a text message, it's some other sound.
but it happens randomly. i can't figure out what's triggering it. and nothing happens when it makes this sound. the screen doesn't turn back on, i get no notification, no text, no email, no messages from anything, nothing from any of my apps
i have no idea what this random sound is. does anyone have any idea what this is or what it means?

If you just purchaed it, you are still under warranty, (for 1 year) take it in and have it checked out. This is probably just a setting, but your desciption is difficult to follow.
You are still under warranty, take advantage of it!
Do you have any reminders set?

HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

What is this sound?

This sound (below) goes off on my Macbook Pro (Build 12C60) irregularly. I'm not sure if it's from an installed app or a system sound. Can anyone tell me what it is?
Please have a listen to which ever audio type suits you:
Link to .WAV audio file = Uknown Macbook Pro Audio.wav
Link to .MP3 audio file = Uknown Macbook Pro Audio.mp3
Link to .AIF audio file = Uknown Macbook Pro Audio.aif
Thank You

I was experiencing the EXACT same sounds for weeks and it was driving me crazy. The answer is SKYPE.
To disable it go to Skype -> Preferences -> Notifications tab
Uncheck the "Play sounds related to contact availability"
What was happening is each time a contact signed on or off the sound would play thus it seemed completely random.
Uncheck it and you'll never hear it again.

TS1292 reItunes card says "not activated correctly"... went back to stopurchased, they say it might take 24 hours. Does this sound right? where

I'm trying to REDEEM an itunes gift card.
I get a "card not activated correctly" message.
I go back to the store where purchased, I'm told card was activated, and to just wait 24 hours because Apple's networks are probably busy.
Does this sound right??

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

Well you can't use it. The iOS 7 Activation Lock is pretty secure and you can't bypass it.

Where can get this sound effects ?

Please take a look at this video. Please listen to the sound effects which keeps repeating at at 12th sec, 21st sec, 26th sec ... etc
Where can I get this sound effects ?

Thanks

It's almost impossible to identify the effect as it is blended in with others and has probably been modified as well by the editor.
It could be one of thousands.
I've emailed you something that may be suitable.
Just listened to the one from MtD and it seems PD Close.

Need Help Achieving This Sound

Hey everyone! I'm trying to achieve this sound in my guitars (ther beginning, when the guitars start chugging): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO6Upm47Bno
I know that the bass and the bass drum need to be playing the same riff, but I can't seem to get a good guitar sound. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edit: Oh, and I'm using Logic Pro 9. Too broke to upgrade to X.

Id try Ik Multimedia Amplitube, i think its only like $99, but you can demo it. NI Guitar rig is good too but costs more.

This sound is killing me!
