Weird and Irritating Clicking sound on Touchpad Macbook Pro

I've had this weird clicking sound since June. It won't go away.
Of course my laptop didn't fall, nor bump nor anything else that might have damaged it. The Touchpad sounds as if it's loose. There's a clear difference with the sound the touchpad makes when you "press" it, but it shouldn't make a sound when you "touch" it.
I've made a Youtube movie about it and people react stating they have the same problem.

Can this be fixed? Will this fall under Apple warranty?
Who can help?

  • Clicking sound inside my Macbook pro Retina display.

    I did a scan and error 4MOT/4/40000002: right side -0 came up. What does that mean? Is it something i can fix myself or do i have to go into an apple store to get it fixed?

    apple store.  Your computer's fan motor has failed or a connection is loose.

    I purchased a Macbook Air 11" in January 2011. It has one key on the keyboard which sticks making an irritating clicking sound that I would like to get fixed. I took it into my local iStore but they were not at all encouraging, saying they doubt that Apple warranty will cover something like this, and also that the whole keyboard would have to be replaced as they don't do individual key repairs.
    This is very unreasonable to me. Firstly, the keyboard does work (is not actually broken) although the intermittent clicking sound of a single key is very irritating to me and I expect more from an Apple product than a flawed keyboard.
    Any thoughts, tips and insight on this greatly appreciated.

    Just wanted to conclude by saying that I did go to an Apple store and after supplying proof of purchase and verifying the warranty etc, I had my MacBook checked out by one of the technicians who (after finding that my machine was immaculate bar the sticky keyboard of course) they replaced the entire keyboard within a week.
    I was so happy with the helpful and prompt service and am now so happy with my new silent keyboard!
    Also wanted to add that the young guy who told me at the iStore that he doubted Apple would support this and guessed Apple likely say it was due to user damage was being a tool, and he was obviously assuming  that I had done something wrong to break my keyboard.
    This was my first Mac purchase and I was delighted to find that the support is genuine and not just a rumor... I have since gone on to purchase an iPad2 will probably buy the iMac too once my trusty PC needs replacing. I was never a PC hater and got on well with windows, and was actually reluctant to make the change - but so far so good :)
    Thanks for all the help!

  • The sound on my macbook pro does not work if I plug headphones in I can still hear but it will not project volume out loud and when I try to turn up the volume it is just greyed out what do I do ?

    The sound on my macbook pro will not project anything if I plug in headphones I can hear but when I take them out and try and turn up the volue the speaker is grey and the bars under it are white with a no volume sign ( circle with a line through it) how do I fix this ?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

    It cost a lot of money huh?
    it really depends on what exactly the problem is.  take is to an Apple Store or AASP and have them look at it
    But what have I done to get this problem? I don't understand.
    You may not have done anything.  Parts can go bad on their own.

  • Problem with rotation and keyboard click sound

    Ok, there's still a problem with the rotation and keyboard click sound and I thought I had the problem fixed.
    It's a serious bug when you want the keyboard click sound enbabled without having the rotation locked. I noticed this bug started when I had the previous iosinstalled 7.0.6.
    Everytime I wanted to enable the keyboard click sound, I have to always go to settings and have lock rotation checked. And it would stay locked.
    If I wanted to rotate my iPad, I have to have mute enabled, but no keyboard click sound.
    I know it sounds confusing. I'm already confused... beh.

    I completely forgot about that.
    Thank you!

  • I can hear a loud 'CD spinning/fan like' sound from my MacBook Pro intermittently. Definitely not the audio as i muted it. No CD either. And I don't have any

    I can hear a loud 'CD spinning/fan like' sound from my MacBook Pro intermittently. Definitely not the audio as i muted it. No CD either. And the only programs running are words, safari and mail.

    It sounds like the fan but this is the first time I hear it in the past 6mths using this Mac. If its the fan, shouldn't the sound be there all the time and not intermittent?

  • WD Mycloud 4TB fell down from table and hearing click sound

    WD Mycloud 4TB fell down from table and hearing click sound for few times and hearing no sound, Please help me on how to recover my data from this drive? I see red light come up after a while.

    Sounds like the drive has been damaged if your hearing a clicking noise from the hard drive. If you have an ongoing SafePoint backup you should be able to access the last SafePoint backup to recover or access the files that were last backed up from the WD My Cloud. If the drive is no longer accessible after doing a soft reset (press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds) or a system reset (press and hold the reset button for 40 seconds) then chances are high the drive is either damaged or the unit is bricked. You have two basic options but there may be others.Contact WD and enquire about data recovery and warranty repair/replacement of the possibly damaged drive.Void the warranty and remove the drive from the WD My Cloud enclosure connect it to a computer (like through an external SATA enclosure/docking station or via a desktop PC) and use a Linux boot disk distro or a Linux OS (possibly even a Mac) to access the hard drive and possibly its contents.On a side note same thing happened to a family member. Thier WD My Cloud got knocked off a shelf onto a stone floor and damaged the hard drive. The impact was hard enough to knock the white cover off the WD My Cloud. Drive was pulled but was erratically recognised by Linux and the data was non recoverable (with the tools I had on hand) from the drive. Took a spare unused SATA drive and followed one fo the various threads (like this one or this one) on recovering a bricked or replacing the hard drive on a WD My Cloud and had the WD My Cloud back up and running some time later. The work around in the future is to use the SafePoint feature of the WD My Cloud user interface to backup the WD My Cloud to another hard drive like an attached USB drive. that way you provide some data redundancy in the case of the WD My Cloud hard drive becoming unreadable/unusable.

  • The sound on my macbook pro is not working

    The sound on my macbook pro is not working. When I increase the sound, the icon appears as if everything is working, but no sound comes from the speakers. Earphones don't work either. I have tried a PRAM reset but at times, this doesn't even work. It's really frustrating having to restart my computer every time I want the sound to work, and even when I do that, theres a 50 50 chance of it working again. It generally happens after my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it or even know what caused it?
    There are a lot of discussions around the earphone jack but I have checked that. I've tried a PRAM reset which hasn't worked, and my sound output is set to Internal speakers.
    HELP!!

  • Can i clone my macbook air HDD into an SSD and then install that on a macbook pro??

    i Have a macbook air 2013 with mavericks and my brother has a 2012 macbook pro with yosemite, i want to keep mavericks, can i clone my air's HDD into an SSD and install that SSD into the pro??

    Yes, although your MBA does not have an HDD. It has an SSD. Just put the new SSD into a dock or enclosure, clone your drive to it, then install the new SSD into the MBP.
    Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    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.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external SSD. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • The Sound On My MacBook Pro Isn't Working

    The sound on my MacBook Pro is usually fine, but today it didn't work. For example, I tried listening to music on iTunes and watch videos but the volume wouldn't work at all. When I go to turn up the volume, it seems to turn up ok, but when I try to put on some music, it doesn't work at all. I then tried using my brother's Apple headphones on my MacBook Pro, and then the sound worked normally. I really would like this fixed so if someone could help me that would be great, because I don't want to keep using my brother's headphones just to watch a video or listen to music. Thank you to anyone who helps!

    Hey
    I did a NVRAM reset, and nothing happened. The sound stayed the same. Whats an audio output port, where can you find it, and where can you find the red light? When I try turning up the volume, instead of turning it up a cross sign appears under the speaker, thus no volume turns up. The menu bar right at the top of the screen - the speaker icon is not black, but more a very light grey.
    Thanks for helping though!

  • How do i stop the chiming sound on my macbook pro?

    There's an annoying chiming sound on my Macbook Pro that goes off sporadically when I have the volume turned up and I have no idea how to turn it off.  I'd like to make it go away.  Any answers would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Check the iCal app to make sure you don't have a periodic event set up to go off every so often.
    Or check the Date & Time preference pane in System Preferences to make sure the clock isn't set to chime on the hour.

  • I purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and cannot open organizer on my macbook pro 7.1  Any suggest

    i purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and cannot open organizer on my macbook pro 7.1  Any suggestions?

    After I successfully install the adobe photoshop elements 12 for mac, I try to open organizer and a window pops up that says
    "Adobe Elements 12 Organizer cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Elements 12 Organizer works with this version of Mac OSX. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OSX. Click report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
    I have checked for any updates on my Mac and it is up to date.
    I have tried reloading and am still getting the same result.
    I can open Editor, but not Organizer.
    I am running Mac OSX version 10.6.2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 4 GB  memory, all standard stuff that came in the computer and I have no security software running when I do this.
    Any idea why it is not working?
