Weird ticking sound when adjusting the volume...

Hi all
When adjusting the volume using the F3 F4, my new ibook 12" g4 makes a weird ticking sound before it catches up an adjusts the volume with the normal "blop" sound. Is this normal? Batteri is on "normal."
Thanks
Erlend

I have this same problem with my new 1.33Ghz iBook G4. I've had the logic board replaced twice and the top assembly with the speakers replaced twice also. It still makes the ticking noise and it's quite specific to reproduce so none of the Apple tech have spent the time to reproduce it. I think this problem is more wide spread than Apple realizes.
Here are the factors that HAVE to exist for this problem to be reproduced:
1. The computer must be have the AC adapter unplugged and running off of the battery.
2. Un-click "Play feedback when volume is changed" in System Preferences under "Sound" (While this is not exclusive to having the "ticking audio" problem occur, it is easier to notice with this box unchecked)
3. 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 (even happens on a fresh install)
4. Push the F4 and F5 keys to change the volume for at least 10-20 seconds and the "ticking sound" will occur. (the lagging after the tick is most annoying.)
Launching iTunes and playing audio will temporarily make this problem subside. Once this problem occurs with "Play feedback when volume is changed" unchecked, it will continue until audio is played or the sound preference panel is accessed. Often the sound balance will be 100% to the left after this problem has started occuring. (Checking the Sound preference panel shows this)
Has anyone had this problem fixed permanently? Apple seems to be unaware of this problem. 10.4.4 could fix it. Unfortunately we are not even sure if this is a hardware problem or a software issue. I will post with details of what happens when I bring my machine in to the Apple store for the 4th or 5th time.

My brand new mac book pro, which I've only turned on about 20 times since I purchased it, start making a loud constant clicking noise today -- it sounded like a combination of a computer notification tone and a weird druming sound. What's the problem?

Is this thing a piece of junk? My MacBook Air is running fine. I've literally only charged the MacBook Pro battery a handful of times -- it's brand new.

At these prices don't screw around. Just call applecare to arrange an appointment at the nearest apple store.
Alternatively post in the Macbook Pro forum. This is the Mac Pro forum.

Please help. two weird battery? icons...

Okay well recently I went to go plug in my ipod and I got this strange icon that looked like a battery with a lightning bolt and it was black..it didnt start updating my ipod or charing it so I got worried...I went to go do something and when I came back...everything was normal! Okay and the other day I was listening to my iPod and the battery went dead and said that I needed to charge it...that I did...so now yesterday i was listening to it and it wasnt dead yet and i thought that i would listen to it until the battery died but instead it just stopped (before the battery was fully gone I believe) and I got this weird battery icon with a WARNING! sign...can someone please tell me what those icons mean? and also...how long is the ipod suposed to take to charge and die out? I have the 30g new ipod. thanks again!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Weird Clicking sound

I might just be making a big deal out of a small thing. But I noticed a couple of days ago the mouse pad on my macbook makings a weird clicking sound prior to me clicking down on it. When I slightly touch the mouse bar there is the annoying clicking sound. Is it a broken spring or something? Does anybody know what I'm talking about and what I should do about it?

This is a very common issue. It will not cause any harm, but if it really bothers you then take it to the apple store. Some people take out the battery, and put a folded up piece of paper on the underside of the tracpad button, then replace the battery on top of it. I have heard this helps, but I have never tried it because I rarely use my button, I just tap the trackpad.

Weird Buzzing Sound

I just bought a new mac pro, and it's about a week old. All of a sudden when I wake it this weird buzzing sound happens and last for about 3-5 minutes. Is something wrong with my mac?

While I don't get this noise myself that does not mean it's not normal, however, I would contact AppleCare regarding it regardless.
I don't know what a UPS is
A UPS is an uninterruptable power supply and serves two funtions…
1) Provide a battery backup in case of a power outtaging giving you time to save your work and shutdown (or not).
2) Provides your sensitive electronic equipment clean power which is free of power surges and borwn-outs (power drops) which is the cause of most electronic damage.
It's highly recommended and I personally would not connect my Mac Pro to power without one.

Weird Mail sound

Does anyone else's email alert sound have a weird hiss sound after it plays -- BING, then a quick sisss
Very odd.

On my MacBook Pro 13.3 Retina I hear a kind of white noise in the following cases:
1) Just after plugging-in my headphones and it lasts about 1 min.
2) Once a system sound (notification of smth else) has palyed. It lasts some 10-15 sec. and ends with a click sound.
I know that people are able to hear deferent frequences depending on their age: younger people can hear frequences that are inaudible to older ones. Thay would be nice that Apple finally fix it, as it's frustrating to work with headphones on.

Weird clicking sound every few seconds.

When i open the powerbook from being asleep, it starts up and everything is fine... every few seconds i hear a weird click sound, i'm guessing its the HD, and somthing is wrong with the moving parts. I have not dropped or damaged the powerbook in anyway. I first heard the noise when opening the top after being away few for an hour.
Has anyone else had a problem like this?

With hard drives it's not a matter of if it will fail, it's when. Since they are made of moving parts generally when you begin to hear clicking noises, it's a sign to backup your stuff and then worry about running some diagnostics. If you have applecare you should run techtool and it should tell you with a small margin or error if it's good. Now just because it says that the drive is still good can also not mean that it isn't in the process of going bad. So, keep a good backup of all your stuff on an external drive. I use superduper to do a full backup of my system once a week on a external firewire drive that's bootable if i need it. It will do a "smart update" of your data when you backup after the first time saving you a lot of time.
If you don't have applecare, try and find a friend that does or take your computer to your local apple authorized service center. They will have access to the gsx (global service exchange) website which has specific diagnostic bootable cd's for each model of computer. They should be able to tell you if it's bad or not. If you find a friend that has applecare, just use his techtool cd. Just Boot from the cd and run the diagnostics, don't install the app on your mac as that would be illegal.
Hope this helps

Weird Bubble Sound Happens Randomly

every once in a whiel, randomly, my iphone 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?

The developers know about it. The last post in the thread above points to the following:
Here is the response from Life360, we found the culprit.
Charles K., May 04 01:30 pm (CDT):
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. This noise happens when an error message populates in the application. We have passed your feedback onto the developers to see if they would like to change the noise or remove it completely. Thank you for using Life360.
Charles
Apparently there is no notification bubble since the noise is associated with something that is not supposed to happen. It's a bug.
Mystery solved.

Weird beeping sound?

When I put my audio track on the timeline and I add keyframes so that the music will fade in, I get this weird beeping sound instead of hearing the music. Im new with this so any help would be appreciated. thanks

What kind of music file? FCE doesn't like MP3s. If that is what you are using, use iTunes to convert them to AIFF files that match your sequence audio settings

Weird humming sound

Hi, after updating to 10.4.10, my MBP will generate this weird humming sound with my external speakers.
It only happens when nothing is playing. Its comes slowly and becomes louder slowly. The humming noise stops whenever I start to play something. (Anything that generate sound. MP3, AVI, DVD etc)
Any idea how to resolve this?

There isn't any other way. All you can do is a rollback. I myself am getting the humming sound, a popping sound in the speakers, greatly decreased volume at the maximum, and bizarre fan activity. And this is running the full Combo update, repairing permissions, and everything else. I Think I will be spending the day tomorrow rolling back to 10.4.9

Weird rattling sound

I have a weird rattling sound coming from my G4. Could it be a loose hard drive or fan?
Thanks

Look most closely at the little fan that draws air over the heatsink. It rattles before finally dying in my experience.

Weird buzzing sound when scrolling.

Whenever I have the sound turned up high and scroll a webpage theres a weird electronic sound buzzing that comes from the speakers. Also if I minimize and then maximize a window I can hear it then too. Right now I got a sb live value with z-640's. The mobo is a K8N Neo FSR.

I've heard of this before on other motherboards. I think the fix was to go into sound properties and mute MIC, INPUT, or some other device. I forget which you have to mute, but this was one possible fix.

Weird Battery Behavior in 7.1.1

Has anyone else noticed weird behavior after upgrading to 7.1.1 - on my 5s its not that the battery is draining quickly - in fact its showin 5 hours 40 minutes usage with 75% remaining - which i find hard to believe
whats weird is standby time equals the usage time but i have turnd off and aback on the iPhone - I even did a hard reset - i have a monitor program which is showing the cpu as mostly idling at 90% or more ( although the monitor probably doesnt know about the M7 chip - it probably doesnt even know about the A7 chip too)
The battery percentage is not going down quickly - it seems to be thr same rate as with 7.1 but i dont believe these numbers
Im going to let the battery drain completely and do a battery calibration - that some times helps after IOS upgrades
But i was wondering if anyone else was seeing this and had any suggestions

Out of curiousity, how were the issues fixed/resolved other the past? With IOS updates? Other?
The problem has always been an errant app that got stuck in a loop. It can happen any time, but is more likely to happen right after an update. My hypothesis is that the update process suspends running apps, and sometimes after the update they "lose their place" and spin their wheels trying to find it. (It's easier to say it that way then to talk about race conditions.) What will frequently fix it is to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off. This terminates all processes, even those that cannot be killed from the Quick Launch screen.
You can also try to find the app; if it's email turning off any Push email accounts, rebooting, and turning them back on will frequently fix it. If it's a 3rd party app killing all apps in the Quick Launch will frequently fix it.
Sometimes just turning off the phone for a few minutes will fix it.
Restoring the phone as new will usually fix it, but restoring from backup may not, because the app state may be preserved in the backup.
It really just a matter of trying things like these one at a time. One of them will work.
Do you or Trevor have a CPU monitoring app you believe is a quality application?
I've tried several, and haven't found any that I like. I like Trevor's answer.
