Throwing stuff in trash makes loud awful white noise sound???

Just in the last few days when I throw something in the trash, instead of the normal sound it is set up to make, it will have a very loud fuzzy white noise type sound. The only way to get it to stop is to restart or shut down. You can't turn it down with the volume either, no response to that. What is going on? Is there something I can do to correct the problem? It doesn't do it all the time either???thanks

it's very interesting that you're experiencing this while playback.
I've (and many others....) got the same problem during recording, which by the way is a very painful experience or everybody that's wearing headphones..... normally people get the error message "disk is too slow" when that problem occurs!
Since there is no official and unofficial cause for this problem and also no solution currently it's hard to say what's behind it.
the only one thing i tried yesterday was playing around with the buffer size. in my case i experienced that crash yesterday a couple of times (in like 1-4 minute distances) when my buffer size was set to 128 samples. when i used a buffer size of 64 sample i dindn't get this error anymore. (don't ask me why, i can't explain it. another interesting thing is that the cpu usage doesn't show more when using only 64 samples)
try changing the buffer size, maybe it helps.....

Loud, Random White Noise during call

Hello all
When I am making a video call with someone, an extremely loud sound of white noise occurs during the call.
It occurs on my side only, and the other person cannot hear the sound. It does not matter if I initiated the call or not. It also happens at random times and with or without video. Just all of a sudden, I will get an extremely loud noise...like television static.
I am at my wits' end because this has been happening for the past 2 weeks for every call I make.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am struggling with this issue for quite a while now, I was wondering whether there is any solution as of now. I have seen this problem with several notebooks (One Lenovo, one Dell, one MacBook Pro, two Vaio's). It's been an issue under MacOS, Windows and Linux alike. The only (very temporary) fix is muting my machine and resetting. Is there any solution as of yet? Is there anything I can do besides use an earpiece? I'd like to be able to use my notebook mic and speakers , since that's what they were designed for. (Other VoIP software works without the white noise issues, so I am pretty sure it's not a hardware problem)

Why do my speakers make a loud hissing/white noise when the aux cable is plugged in at the same time my thunderbolt to dvi adapter/cable is plugged in?

I have tried this with headphones and speakers and the result is the same. I have tried this with multiple displays, multiple thunderbolt to dvi adapters, and multiple dvi cables. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Thank you in advance!

What's on the other end of the Aux cable

21.5" iMac whistles whenever a file is moved and after a while in use makes loud continuous crackling noise

I have just received a refurbished iMac 21.5" running Mountail Lion but build mid 2011. It emits a high pitched whistling noise similar to a smoke alarm but not quite as loud whenever a file is moved, eg. to the trash and then while sorting old files recovered from the hard drive of my now deceased macbook, it began to make a crackling noise as well. Does anyone else have experience with this behaviour? It continues while the work continues and then when I stop moving files it continues for maybe another ten seconds then stops.

I'm afraid I don't have a solution, but I'd recommend you call AppleCare as you have 90 phone support (3 years if you bought the extended AppleCare). Hopefully they'll have a clue as to what's causing it or organise getting it fixed.
Before making the call there are a couple of things you could try. I doubt they'll work but you never know. They won't do any harm and will take a couple of minutes. An SMC and a PRAM reset. If you still have the problem best make that call. Good luck.

My iMac makes louder whirring fan noises and gets really hot.

Should I go to the service center and have it checked out?

Before you do, do a SMC reset and download and install iStat Pro (Google it) and post the actual temps.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Internal Microphone White Noise

I have a Satellite E45-B4200 laptop and it has served me well for the last 4 months with no issue. Unfortunately it has one FATAL design flaw. If I plug in my Sony headphones into the headphone jack it RUINS the internal Micophone. This happened before and it made the mic record everything and enything and echo it back at me. I resolved it... dont remember how and here we are again. This time when I record my voice on such programs as skype it has an intense white noise ethat completely covers up my voice and requires a strong yelling just to get the message through. Please help. I will provide as much detail as needed to resolve this.

It makes two of us. This issue is driving me crazy! I tried:updating the driversrestoring default mic settingenable/disable echo, noise cancellationtry different mic quality setting (sampling rates) Nothing seems to work. The internal microphone makes this anoying white noise all the time. I can't use Skype nor Cortana without pluging in a headset, which definetively kills the purpose. If I can't find a solution to this, my next replacement won't be a Toshiba laptop, that's for sure.

White Noise

I have an Apple TV 2 connected to my TV.
I put the ATV 2 to sleep for a day or two and when I woke it up I just got white noise (sound) even when nothing was playing.
I had to unplug the ATV2 and restart it to get it back to normal.
Wondering it others have had this experience?

Trash makes delete sound, no error messages, but files aren't deleted

Hi,
After solving my Trash problem with an undeletable file, I've now got another one.
When I go to empty Trash I get the small pop-up window asking if I'm sure I want to remove all the files. I click [OK] and the Mac makes the crunchy delete noise. BUT the Trash icon doesn't go back to the empty state, and, if I open the Trash window, the files are still there.
The same happens if I use Secure Delete.
I CAN delete files if I use a program like Trash It! or go back to the Terminal and use sudo to rm the files.
I've checked file permissions on the Trash and on the whole disk - nothing is amiss. I've verified the disk - it's okay. I've also used Tech Tool to scan the disk - no problems.
I created a second account and tried to use Trash there, it seems to work properly. So I'm guessing there is something wrong with one of the settings on my own user account, but I've no idea which one.
Has anyone else seen this problem before, and, is there a solution?
Many thanks,
Mike.

Hi mj
Thanks for the response. The problem's still there. Here's what happened:
mike$ sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Password:
rm: /Users/mike/.Trash: Directory not empty
Which is odd, from my UNIX days long ago it should have just demolished those files.
I used Trash It! to empty Trash (worked fine), then went back to the Terminal.
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
rm: /Users/mike/.Trash: Directory not empty
Which is odd - it didn't prompt me for a password the second time round. Should it?
mike$ cd .Trash
mike$ ls -al
total 0
drwx------ 3 mike mike 102 Mar 26 21:30 .
drwxrwxrwx 23 mike mike 884 Mar 26 19:35 ..
So ls thinks the directory is empty.
I'm now VERY confused.

Have you read the User Guide and taken the recommended troubleshooting steps?

How do I change the sound that is played when you iI use the Find my IPhone feature to make it alot louder? The current sound is very faint, difficult to find as I am hard of hearing.

Hi,
Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.

Dual G5 2.0 hard drive makes loud clicking noises after installing Leopard

I installed Leopard on my Dual G5 2.0, did a clean install. Worked fine for a couple of days but now it is unusable, the hard drive makes loud clicking noises and the computer slows down, can't even properly shut it down. All worked perfectly with Tiger installed.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks and happy new year!

Ha... "Cheers" is not convincing coming from an angry man like you.
In English PC stands for Personal Computer:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=personal%20computer
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer
So a Mac and a Windows Machine can both be a PC. In fact I believe Apple coined the phrase PC, but I could be wrong.
I've been using Mac for 20 years, never had any issues. However my windows machines are very inefficient, it's difficult to get them to work with a printer, much less any of the multi media apps and equipment I use. My windows Machines are useful to me as test boxes and running some apps I don't have on my Macs. Sure Office works great on them, but I don't do spread sheets and such for a living.
I'm sorry that you are having bad luck, or are you making this up? You are a apple rep? Do they know that you are posting on the Apple site and advising users to buy a PC, hmm George Lelapinou the French Apple hater?
So, sorry old comrade but PC stands for personal computer, not Microsoft, and my PC is working 100% now, as my Macs always do, it appears it just needed to be cleaned. Now if only my crappy Peugeot would work after getting cleaned... I joke, I kid, iJoke.

Rotating an image gives black edges, How can I make the edges white?

Hi I used the following code to rotate an image:
// The "ShiftImageByDegrees" class.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.image.renderable.*;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.media.jai.*;
import hsa.Console;
public class ShiftImageByDegrees
    static Console c;           // The output console
    public static RenderedOp rotate (RenderedImage image, double ang)
        ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock ();
        pb.addSource (image);
        pb.add ((float) (image.getWidth ()) / 2);
        pb.add ((float) (image.getHeight ()) / 2);
        pb.add ((float) ang);
        return JAI.create ("rotate", pb);
    public static void main (String[] args)
        c = new Console ();
        // Doing for every single image:
        File folder = new File ("Images/");
        File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles ();
        for (int i = 0 ; i < listOfFiles.length ; i++)
            if (listOfFiles .isFile ())
c.println ("Image: " + listOfFiles [i].getName ());
try
// Load Image:
String imageName = "";
RenderedImage image = ImageIO.read (new File ("Images/" + listOfFiles [i].getName ()));
RenderedImage outputImage = rotate (image, 0.03490658503988659);
ImageIO.write (outputImage, "bmp", new File ("hello.bmp"));
catch (IOException e)
// Place your program here. 'c' is the output console
} // main method
} // ShiftImageByDegrees class
The above code goes to a directory named Images and finds any images and rotates it by 2 degrees (i.e. 0.03490658503988659 radians) and writes them as hello. The rotate method gives the image correctly rotated but the problem is that the edges are black. I would like to make the edges white. The edges are defaulted as black I assume but is there a way I can change that to white?

Never mind. Solved it by negating the source image first.

Selecting useless stuff to trash

Best way to select stuff to trash, what is ?
Does Snow Leopard need a software "cleaner" other than
periodic checks via Disk Utility ?
What will Time Machine do to what's on the external drive ?
(i.e. the old stufff)
Can Time Machine be turned off and on ?
(Tiger 10.4.11 is on WD 2T external drive. Snow Leopard 10.6.3. is on a disc waiting to be installed.
SL 10.6.3. is the most current OS this MBPro [2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 G 667MHz DDR2SDRAM]
can process. I'm told. I think by Apple, the Store.
After gratefully receiving some varieties of advice, I've decided to Start Up on the Passport for a
while, to learn some stuff, and save up money to buy software for routine backup if necessary,
(although in 30+ years no Mac has failed me nor have I lost anything).
This Apple Support Community format is a handicap to folks with low level expertise.
and, I suspect, especially folks with old hardware and software.
So I'm going to wander the web to learn what is GUI, to understand partitions,
what is dmg ?
and, as in the question above, what to delete from Tiger.
My G3 has both OS 9 and OS 10, I kept 9 for a printer driver and to avoid messing with content.
I'm thinking that I can use the passport for the old Word for Mac and the Canon inkjet that is
compatible with the laptop, and use the internal drive with Snow Leopard for Firefox.
Thanks folks, especially noondaywitch, for attentive support.

I can record only loud white noise

i have tried to use both a digi 002r and m-audio fast track pro as audio i/o. when i try to enable the input button or record anything on a track i get only loud white noise. seems like a feedback loop in the record and playback but i am baffled. when i tried recording, using only the internal mac ins and outs, i had no trouble.
i am a pro tools guy trying logic for the first time.

This is interesting... The same thing happened to my MOTU 828 mkII. It happened right after I installed the Logic 8 upgrade. To verify it wasnt just the interface dieing, I opened up some standalone programs (absynth, and reaktor) and checked their inputs. The same thing happened on those inputs, fullscale nasty digital noise... so I figured it was the interface, and I sent it out for repair. I just got it back, and everything is working fine.
But this is very curious this happened to you, using different interfaces... Do you have any standalone software with audio in? Try checking that.

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

Throwing stuff in trash makes loud awful white noise sound???
