  • Why does my MacBook Pro make a clicking noise when i lift it up.

    Hi i just recently got a MacBook Pro. I get this weird clicking noise from the right side of the trackpad. I don't know why its doing this noise but i think its got something to do with the superdrive or cd drive. This only happens when i pick it up or rotate it around on my lap.

    Just to clarify... and in case you're not familiar with how hard drives work... There are metal platters in your hard drive that spin at either 5400 or 7200 times per minute (that's either 90 or 120 times per second respectively). There is a little read head that floats less than a papers width above that super fast spinning platter. If you bump your computer while the read/write head is over the platter, there is a chance it can bump into the spinning platter causing permanent damage to it. As a result, hardware manufacturers have developed ways to lock the head when a "sudden motion" is detected in order to reduce the chance of damage. In some cases (like the MacBooks), it is built into the notebook itself... in other cases, the technology is built into the drive. The clicking you hear, as others have indicated, is the sound of the drive head locking... it's a good thing.

  • Why does my macbook pro go into 'install' mode when i turn it on?

    since my last update (about 6 weeks ago, i don't use it much) when i turn it on i get the apple logo and the update bar, the update bar fills up to about halfway then my password screen comes up and i can gain access - it is driving me nuts.....someone save me from doing a hat dance on the bloody thing!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    OS X Yosemite 10.10.
    That is normal. The familiar spinning gear icon is replaced with a progress bar now.
    Best.

  • Why is my MacBook pro making a beeping noise when I turn it on with no screen showing?

    My MacBook pro turned on fine until here was a bunch of numbers showing on the screen and told me to shut it down so I did. When I waited 15 seconds I tried turning it on again and now every time I try to turn it on it makes a beeping sound and won't show a screen. It will just keep beeping until I turn it back off. I have only had it for two weeks so idk what the problem is.

    The FINDER HELP section titled 'If you hear beeps when your computer starts up'  suggests that you take your MBP to an Apple Store or an authorized service facility.  The following leads you to an Apple Support article germain to your problem:  https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

    Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

    Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
    I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

  • Hello, my 2012 MacBook pro makes a clicking noise

    Hello, my 2012 MacBook pro makes a clicking noise in the bottom right of my computer. The empty space below the keyboard where you are supposed to rest your hands. I press it and it sounds like something is snapping almost.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make clicking noises when pressure is applied to the unibody?

    I purchased a MacBook Pro in late July of this year. Recently, I have noticed that when I begin to type on the keyboard, the unibody will make a faint sound when pressure from my hands is applied to the MacBook. I also notice a faint clicking noise when I pick up the MacBook Pro to move it somewhere. Additionally, the screen hinge makes a faint clicking noise when the screen is opened. Are these sounds normal?

    Check if an AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider) is closer, as some do not trust Geek Squad to diagnose something as simple as "all the keys are missing". But judge for yourself.: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

  • Why does the MacBook Pro make a loud heat noise?

    So, when I was playing a game called "Modern Combat Domination" my MacBook Pro make a very loud heat noise? Does that mean I should stop playing the game? I worried. Thank You.

    That means your fan(s) sped up to dispose of the excess heat generated by playing the game. It's a sign that your machine is taking care of itself properly.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make sounds when I put it in my bag?

    I am a first time Mac user and have only had my MacBook Pro for a few weeks.  When I put it my back to carry with me to work, it makes a sound like something is running even though I have shut it down.  Can anyone help me, I dont want to mess up a great laptop.

    I'd make a sound too if i was put into a bag haha.
    Only thing i could think of it it has a mind of its own or your putting your computer to sleep. Try shutting down your mac before placing in your bag and see if that changes things.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro make every flash drive read only?

    Anybody else having this problem? I can write to a flash drive once on my Macbook Pro. After I remove it, it becomes read-only, but only on my Macbook (I still have read/write access on other computers). Happens with every flash drive, regardless of brand or size. File systems are all FAT 32.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro fan go into overdrive when the laptop is not even warm?

    The fan on my MacBook Pro is going into overdrive without any form of heat coming from the laptop. It causes the computer to be really slow as though there's a delay on the cursor, then makes it crash. It also disconnects me from the internet and won't reconnect without a restart. Had this trouble for a few months but it stopped for roughly four months without giving any clue as to what I had done to stop it, but has now restarted again out of nowhere.
    I have tried an SMC reset countless times and it makes no difference. Operating system is up to date.

    Either on Microsoft word or on FB and maybe some online editiing.. I have installed Istat and waiting for it to occur again so i can measure the heat and CPU usage.. any idea as to why this is happening??

  • Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

    Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

    It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
    If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
    Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...

  • Why does my macbook pro forget the wifi network when i only set the iPhone to forget it?

    i just dont get. what is the logic behind the mac synchronises network access between devices? i set my iPhone to forget a certain wifi network and now my macbook pro also forgot it, so i had to reset my router for this. pretty annoying. any workaround if i want iCloud to keep my passwords synchronised but not sure up the network access instantly on all devices?

    I had to call Apple and the tech made me enter a bunch of terminal commands to fix this. Unfortunately I can't tell you excactly what it was. I think the best way would be to call Apple.
