Ticking sound in sync with cooling fan

I just started hearing a ticking sound in sync with the frequency of the cooling fan speed. I'm guessing it's a bearing going bad in the cooling fan but that sounds like the diagnosis on a car engine. Anybody have any experience with this?

You could, but it would probibly get better results if you measured the output of an audio amplifer that is being driven by the microhone. The problem is that microphones tend to be pretty low-level devices so reading them directly could cause noise problems.
In terms of an amp, unless you are particularly concerned about amplitudes, any cheap thing you could pick up at radio shack would work.

Making a sound clip sync with rest of movie.

So I solved this problem and realized I posted it under AS3 and it should have been here. So I figured it may help somone. All I did was change the setting to "Stream" under the properties panel for each sound clip!
Making sound sync with my controls
Hello all,
This is one of my first flash movies so bear with my inexperience!
I've made a slide show with three pieces of audio that are set up to play with certain images. So you can imagine when the video is paused but the sound continues playing everything gets a bit messed up.
I have each audio on a different layer and none of them overlap, just fade in/out to one another.
EDIT: Almost forgot, so how can I get the audio to stop/play along with the rest of the flash file when play/pause is clicked on. And can I skip forword/backward 15frames in the audio clip as I am doing with the images?
Here is the AS3 for the back button (gtmf) and foreword button (gtpf)
stop();
mc_content.stop();
gtmf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gtmfs);
function gtmfs(event:MouseEvent) :void {
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-15)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-15)
pp.gotoAndStop(1);
gtpf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gtpfs);
function gtpfs(event:MouseEvent) :void {
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+15)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+15)
pp.gotoAndStop(1);
The play/pause button is a movieclip symbol (pp) with two frames, each with their own AS3.
Play button (gogo)
stop();
gogo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goplaying);
function goplaying(event:MouseEvent) :void {
MovieClip(root).play();
MovieClip(root).mc_content.play();
gotoAndStop(2);
Pause button (halthalt)
stop();
halthalt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, haltplaying);
function haltplaying(event:MouseEvent) :void {
MovieClip(root).stop();
MovieClip(root).mc_content.stop();
gotoAndStop(1);

Yep, ain't that the truth....
Along with the randomness of the HTML elements in general, the relationship between the Flash and HTML are similarly 'independent'.
I was just wondering if there were some little tricks or methods used by web guys these days, as it seems like clever new techniques or new capabilities in CSS or Flash pop up from time to time.
Very odd, though... The interface graphics are very light, yet sometimes the page takes a few seconds to show, and the Flash appears right away (the opposite of what I'd normally expect, when things 'go wrong').
I still don't get why the SWF shows up (when the rest of the table doesn't), if the rule is true that a table won't show up unless all the content is available.
Is there some sort of weird exception if the content of a cell is Flash?

Source Window play sound in sync with Timeline.

When I originally opened the source of my Audio in Premier Pro CS5.5 the sound in the Source Window would play in sync with the Timeline.
I clicked on the audio to try to zoom in closer - which I'm not sure how to do; any guidance appreciated as I'm trying to see the beat of the music and change my slideshow to change pics accordingly with the beat.
However now when I play from the timeline my Source Window no longer plays in Sync to get me prepared when a beat is coming.
Also how does one use the Asterisk * key to set a marker. I've tried hitting shift, 8 and fn, 8 but does not set a marker.
Sorry; a lot of questions here.

Sorry, just to clarify. By dragging the frame indicator along the timline.

Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans?

Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans? In other words, I pre ordered the 256 SSD option with my purchase from Apple. I have searched and searched the internet for a clear answer. I have called Apple and have gotten contradictory answers. Can anyone definitively answer this question?

It's unbelievable that anyone purporting to represent Apple could have misinformed you in such a ridiculous way. Apple has never produced a MBP that didn't have one or more cooling fans in it. The percentage of total heat generated by a MBP that comes from its hard drive (or SSD) is tiny — I would guess it's considerably less than 5%. The notion that the machine could dispense with cooling fans as a result of switching from a conventional drive to a SSD is laughable.
I can only assume that you posed the question in such a way that it was not clearly understood by the people responding.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC faulty cooling fan needs replacement.

My cooling fan recently started becoming very loud on it's lowest speeds and I suspect I will need to replace it soon before it goes out completely. My question is where can I find replacement cooling fans for this product? The problem is I do not know the exact cooling fan I need to replace it and I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction.

Hi,
You can find the following search result:

a littble improvement but still same problem.
so i came to comclusion that the hardware part itself is the problem and i want to replace it.

looked at amazon but they only had coolingfan part not the copper colored line.

HT2729 Lip sync with video

After updating to iOS6 this week, the videos I purchased from The Great Courses no longer have the sound in sync with lip motion. Any suggestions for how to resolve this?

Have you made sure that when you sync the movies that you pick the movie that you want synced to be synced? That or I don't know. You should bring it to your local apple store because mine doesn't work either. Oh, and if possible could you pretty please answer my question? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2073966&stqc=true

Chill Pads, or Cooling Fan Questions

I am looking for a chill pad, for those of you who know what that is...
First off, is this useful to even buy... all that I really know is that my laptop gets SUPER hot around the battery, and I figure that can't be good. So....
I am wondering is there are any chillpads, or cooling thingys specifically for my Macbook, and if so where can I find them? Should I just pick a generic one? I am lost on what I should be looking for, if I should get metal, or plastic...etc. There are so many options to choose, and I am clueless about this thing!
If you could shoot back some general information it would be greatly appreciated!

I tried a generic chillpad with cooling fans on my MacBook Pro, and I can say that, in my experience, it makes no difference between using that and placing it on a table top.
I currently use iLap (http://www.raindesigninc.com/ilap.html) and I find it better (in terms of comfort on my lap and using on desktop) than a chillpad. It's made of aluminum and because it slightly lifts the notebook from the table/lap, you don't feel the heat, especially when you do something that's processor-intensive.

3-day-old 13.3" MBP with rough sounding cooling fan

Hi all,
I just purchased a new MBP with retina, 13" 3 GHZ Core i7. I should note that I'm a replacing a similar, 13"MBP (retina) that was stolen from me. The new machine is awesome. However, the cooling fan is much louder than my previous machine. It's not extremely obnoxious, but noticeably louder than the last unit. It basically sounds like the fan has a bad bearing or something. Is this something Apple will look at in regards to repair? I don't want it to become a much bigger problem, a short while down the road. I purchased the machine on the 4th.
Thanks!

If you bought it from Apple, you have up to 14 days from receipt to return or exchange it.
After that, it is a repair problem, with its possible associated downtime.
Make an appointment at your local Apple store, if available, as soon as possible. Your serial number or product type will allow you to book the appointment online. Refusing to provide one of these will get you a never-ending run-around.

Cooling Fan N200 3000 Ticking and Buzzing

Hey
I was sitting at my labtop, and suddenly it began doing small ticks, 10min later it began to be worse. And now it is doing tick sounds when its cooling. (5 sec inbetween, its cooling) - also I can hear small peebpeeb sounds. Very low, but it is comming from the same place of the computer (left side).
If I open up the computer in the back to check if everything sits where it should will I break the warranty of the computer? - At the moment, I would really not like sending my labtop to service because I am doing the finish of a major project at the moment.
The computer is less tha ½ a year old - never been dropped or anything.
What to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

And I just checked the video of how to remove the fan/cooler. But it did not say anything with the warranty not being broke.
I just really want to be sure that I can atleast check how things look like inthere without breaking the warranty. Because it would be a shame to send the computer to service for 2-3 weeks and then it has been a minor problem, which I in fact could do my self.
And I am not going to replace any components, and it only said at the page I looked at, that the warranty is gone if you replace component.
But if you just open up your computer with a bit of care and a light hand? Would that break the warranty?

Macbook pro dock - with ext hd and ext dvd burner and cooling fans needed??

why doesn't anybody make these? I could have a 1 terabyte HD, dvd burner and cooling fans to keep the macbook pro cool enough to touch while playing wow, or editing video. It could also be made of aluminum and look great. Oh and it has to be configurable to allow use of any 15" macbook pro(ie, bookends units are different because new models include firewire 800)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have iStatPro? You can download it from the Apple site and see what it is that is running so hot. Under the low usage you describe, the fans should be idling silently. And you might be able to tell what is getting so hot.
If Activity Monitor doesn't show anything, then you might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test. It sounds like something is getting very hot. If there is a hardware problem, then you should get one or more error codes. The Apple Hardware Test is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that came with your Mac--you boot to it by holding down "D". Instructions are on the disc and on the screen.
Also, be sure you have "All Processes" selected on the Activity Monitor. And the boxes at the bottom should be mostly black with very little red or green at 3.5% CPU usage. Given all the symptoms, I am surprised that there is not some process running amok in the background.
Good luck!

My lap top is extremly slow. It studders. It kind of sounds like there is a fan inside and it constantly stopping and starting. And, it takes a really long time for it too start up. Whats wrong with it?

Do you have current backups?
Those symptoms could indicate a failing Hard drive. If it dies, all your documents go with it unless you have Backups.
I have had very good luck with physical and battery problem diagnosis at the Genius Bar. Those guys put their hands (and their ears) to these machines, all day every day, and they know immediately what all those sounds mean.

Nokia 6131 video not in sync with sound

After a year of working just fine, my Nokia 6131 video picture is not in sync with the sound when I play it back on the phone or when I download it to my pc to view.
At first the problem was only when I played it back on the phone, but was fine on the pc. Now it's distorted on both.
The video picture seems to be on fast forward but the sound runs smoothly. My video's are always less than five mins long.
Please can anyone help me to resolve this frustrating problem?

hey KatieGirl, i too had the same problem with my old nokia 6288. have you tried turning off your phone and restarting it, this usually helps in alleviating choppy video playback. if this is still resulting in **bleep** playback on your phone and pc, then i would suggest searching for a software update via Nokia Software Updater, if there is no update, then i would suggest re-flashing your phone with the same version firmware again. p.s. remember to backup all your data before flashing your phone with firmware.
failing all this, then i would suggest taking your phone to your nearest Nokia Care Centre or authorised service repair centre, as there may be a fault with your phone hardware itself.
hope this helps.
