What is this pop sound?

From time to time, may be once a day, I get this rather loud pop sound. It may be coming from the speakers, but I'm not sure. It could be from somewhere else in the iBook. I am wondering whether you have had the same experience and have an explanation for that. Many thanks. Erich
iBook 14 640/60 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

can you isolate which applications are running when it happens?
could it be an alert set, like mail arriving, or mail arriving that has a particular rule which includes an alert? ical? or third party software with some kind of sound enabled?
hopefully it is coming through the speakers, and is not a hardware thing.

When going to certain sites a window will pop up saying that " Information may be seen by a third party" This happens a lot even with sites that i know are secure. What is this pop up and how "insecure is the site i am putting information on.

The pop up says Security warning. You have an encrypted page that contains unencrypted information and may easily read by a third party.

Cancel Reset to Defaults (the two choices )

I clicked "reset to defaults" and it said "are you sure you want to reset defaults) I said no LOL I'm afraid to lock myself out of my computer

Seriously, no one can tell me what this pop up is?
I know I'm not the only one getting it LOL
I'll be away from my computer over the weekend, so it won't be an issue. I'll just tell my husband to keep "cancel" ing it.

What Does This Pop-up Window Mean?

I recently installed a second internal HD. Has worked fine the first few days. But, in the past couple of days, when I attempt to transfer files into it, a window with the following message pops up: ...YOU CANNOT COPY SOME OF THESE ITEMS TO THE DESTINATION BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE TOO LONG FOR THE DESTINATION.... No matter what file name I use or what length that name is... this same window pops up thus preventing me from placing anything else in this HD. There are still 200gigs of space left in the drive so I know it's not full. What gives? anyone have any ideas. Thanks in advance. Sally

Hi Tim Ross1-
Did you reformat the drive before using it? It probably came as FAT32 formatted, which OSX can read and write too, however there is a limit to the length of a file name.
I would recommend that if you don't plan on using it for Windows reformat it to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled).

What is this ILife sound effect

Hi, does anybody know the Ilife track behind this.
http://soundcloud.com/airbus125/ilife-1
Thanks,
Aaron

At the beginning, it sounds like one of the radio station ID effects, maybe with a bitcrusher or some distortion on it. I'm not sure what the guitar bit is, but you could probably get something like it with the guitar software instrument in GarageBand. Hope that helps.

What is this drum sound called?

Hi,
What is it called when you have a short 4 or 8-beat (or so) drum hit/loop right before a major transient in the song?
I'm looking for some generic ones in Apple Loops, but I don't know what they're called so I'm having a bit of a hard time searching.
Thanks

I think you're looking for a "fill", a "roll", 'break' or maybe even a "build up".
There might be some in the loop library. But with a little diligence and button/key bashing, may I suggest that it won't be too hard to learn how to program one of yer' own? Usually you can create something more original and interesting in less than the time it takes to find the 'right' loop.
just a thot. I think 'fill' is probably what you're looking for, though.

What is this pop up called mackeeper all about?

I keep getting the pop up called "Mackeeper". Is it a good thing or bad thing?

MacKeeper is some of the most insidious malware there is, see:Do not install MacKeeper and also see Thomas Reed's very useful site: http://www.thesafemac.com

What is this weird sound when I shake the device?

@Rana80 As above you would be best to speak with your local Xperia Care team as your handset would need to be assessed by a service agent sorry.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
The sound may be coming from the camera. If you shake the phone you might hear a slight sound from the camera which is normal. But if it sounds like something is loose in the phone i recommend that you contact a service location to have it checked.

Audio Drop Out/Popping sound Problem

Hi,
For the last few weeks (since i installed snow leopard i think), i have been getting a lot of audio drop outs, where all of a sudden the sound goes dead and i get a popping sound coming from my speakers.
I am using a pre sonus fire studio project audio interface, with its firmware updated to the latest (the latest update was a beta snow leopard update).
I am running logic pro 8 with snow leopard 10.6.2.
I think i have narrowed the problem down to my presonus fire studio because i totally disconnected it and used logics built in audio soundcard and i didn't get any audio drop out at all.
I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experiences or ideas and suggestions on what is best to do?
thanks in advance for any help.
Tom

It depends, are you running off battery when this happens? If so then morethan likely it is the audio hardware coming back online. In an effort to conserve power, what Mac OS X does is when you are on battery is that it turns off your audio hardware when it has not been used for a certian amount of time. This popping sound is typical of the audio hardware being powered up.

Audio out "popping" sound

I have not found a reliable method for testing results but on ocassion, while running no applications that output any type of sound, I will hear a "pop" or "click" noise emitted from either my external speakers or through my earphones. I am almost absolutely certain that the speakers nor earphones are to blame as I have used them with my iPod without any issues.
I do not hear the noises from the internal speakers leading me to believe that the audio output jack is damaged. The MacBook was purchased last week. Recommendations?

Popping sound between cuts in multicam edit

Hello,
I have a multicam project with two cameras. Each camera have 1.5 hours of footage.
I have finished the syncing, cutting, color correction and audio adjustments and the final project is 1.5 hour long.
After I had finished a very tedious and long edit of the sound (by adjusting sound levels from the camera I use sound from) I came back to the angle switcher timeline and found that in between cuts I now hear this "popping" sound. I can hear the cut.
I have spent so many hours on this project at this point and thought I was finally done, but this issue is really noticeable and makes it hard to watch the cuts as I find the popping sound disturbing and it really makes the cuts feel more like "jump cuts".
Before I started to adjust the audio, the cuts were fine in the angle viewer timeline, with no popping sounds in between.
How can I resolve this issue?

@Prebenlm: I've run into this issue before. See the following other discussions for a solution:

Strange pop sound while playing music on 5320XM

I hear a strange pop or tick sound when I play music on my 5320 XM another user had the same problem he was advised to update his firmware.
/discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=46209&query.id=267441#M46209
but he didn't mention whether the problem was solved or not
anyone else experiencing the same problem of tick sound
and was your problem solved
thanks in advance

....dont know much about software/firmware versions and stuff, but i found out some temporary solutions: adjust de volume to a level where this pop sounds dissapear, turn off loudness and stereo widening in the audio settings menu and finally try to play music in the offline profile (perhaps the most effective...does this mean that the pop sounds are due to some kind of interference???)
hope this helps
and please PLEASE someone help me with this one:
im having troubles with the 3.5 mm socket, I used it with a external device,(with the lineout option) it worked ok, but when i used the headphones later i get sound from the left side only, I tried everything but I cant fix it
if someone knows of something please give some advice
cant take it back to the store cause the garanty expired

Popping sound when locking iPhone

Hi, I just got my iPhone replaced by apple for the second time, Everything works fine except for when after I make a call or receive a call and I go to lock my phone, Instead of the normal lock sound I get this popping sound. When I wake my phone up and unlock it, there is no sound even when I lock it again. Only thing I've found that helps is putting the headphones in and out and resetting the phone but when i go to make/receive a call then put the phone to sleep, the popping sound comes back. Is it a defect with the hardware? Since my previous two phones never did this, I don't wanna go back to apple asking for another phone.

Have you tried basic troubleshooting of the hardware?
Such as Rebooting iPhone, Restoring iPhone. If this continues after a restore then yes I do advise you visit your apple retail store with appointment or contact iPhone support so they can assist you under the hardware warranty.

Popping sounds back with Leopard

The problem with the popping sounds, introduced with 10.4.10 and fixed with audio update 1-2007 is back after upgrading to Leopard. At least on my MacBook. Here ist the old thread regarding this topic. The symptoms are absolutely the same.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1005162&start=0&tstart=0

My new MacBook also makes these popping sounds, usually when no audio is playing, but sometimes during music playback. I hope this is just a software problem and there's nothing wrong with my Mac.
These little "bugs" (BootCamp problem, PC Server showing up when it should'nt, this popping sound etc.) and stuff keep gnawing up the good image I had of Apple computers (as this MacBook is my first).

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,
P. Dreadie
