Why is my macbook making a weird noise when trying to install a cd?

I had to send my macbook in a few months ago to get a new logic board, and now it will not install cds. About ten minutes into installation it starts making a weird noise and freezes and the only way to stop it is to force shut down my computer. Anyone else have this problem?

Make sure your Mac has good ventilation > Learn about the fans in your Mac
Better to not run too many applications simultaneously, especially any streaming video content.
For issues with fans, reset the SMC > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

The sound input going to the mic is not going to pipe through the speakers like that. It doesn't do it because it would cause a feedback loop on itself. The mic input will take sound and output it to a program or to another pathway (like a VoIP or Facetime call, etc.) but it won't behave like a Karaoke machine if that's what you're thinking.

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 my macbook make a funny noise when I open it?

After my macbook pro has been on the charger for some time & I open it up, it will make a funny noise & the screen will be blue with a bar on it. Takes a little bit before I can use it, Does anyone know what is wrong?

I quit all applications & close the lid. I usually use the charger all time. If I leave it unplugged from the charger, it will not do this. It will make a whirring noise & the screen will be blue over my background, will have a bar on it like it is loading. Then will finally let me use the curser after a few seconds. Only had the macbook for about 4 months. It started doing this about 2 month after I bought it.
If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.
Before calling them, try the following first:

MacBook air 11" shuts down when trying to install mountain lion

And other applications aswell..
What to do? I've tried to reset SMC..

At what point is the shutdown occuring? As soon as you launch the install app?
If so, I would trash the install app file, and re-download it.
First, you might try running a Repair Permissions & a Verify Disk from the Recovery Partition. It is always a good idea to do this before any major software update/upgrade.

Why do I see a directory access message when trying to install iTunes?

iTunes won't install. I first got this error when trying to update to 9.2: "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\it.lproj\TVShowsIntro.nib\objects.xib. Verify that you have access to that directory." I then tried to uninstall and reinstall and I keep getting the same error during the 'copying files' part of the install process. Can someone please tell me how to fix this issue? Thanks.

That's consistent with disk/file damage.
Let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following document.
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk r/ (depending on how you go about this):
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

Really weird error when trying to install 7.7 on vista

i have googled this, and searched this and nothing seems to come up. i get an error that says
"error writing to file: C:\program files\common files\apple\mobile device\support\etc\zoneinfor\europe\amsterdam"
im downloading itunes straight from apple. so i dont know what this europe business is. also, ive done the whole, delete temp files, run as admin, turn off norton etc.
what is the deal?

I had same problem when trying to upgrade 7.2.
I first used Software Update which downloaded three pkgs.
AppleMobileDeviceSupport
iTunesAccess
iTunesX.
Running ItunesX gave same error as you.
What I then tried was to download from Apple iTunes downloads directly:-
http://www.apple.com/au/itunes/download/
Running iTunes 7.3.mpkg installed all three modules, and ITunes 7.3.0 runs OK.
However with 7.3.1 now out the same problem exists.
So I will try the direct download again.

FInder making a weird noise after reinstall

I recently reinstalled Mountain Lion from scratch and ever since, I get a weird noise when moving files in the finder from folder to folder or installing a new application. It's definitely not a physical/mechanical type sound (i.e. grinding or whirring), it's kind of a low-pitched digital sounding "err". That's probably a terrible description, but I don't know how else to put it. It's kind of like the bad sound people get on a game show when they get the answer wrong.
I haven't really tried anything besides shutting down and starting up again, because I have no idea where to start. I also don't know what other info to put in here, so I'll do the basics and let me know if someone needs more. I have no idea if this is even something to worry about, but it's different, and different always worries me.

Hey there spock,
First off I'd recommend taking all personal information about your Mac from from there like serial number and things but anyway That is not a problem with your mac it is a default sound by mac You can go to sounds, sound affects to change i believe

Is it normal for the MacBook Pro to make noises when I put it to sleep?

I apologize for posting a new question so soon, but I wanted to get my technical problems with my MacBook Pro sorted out before I go back to school.
I'm worried about this one thing that happens when my MacBook Pro goes to sleep. After I close the laptop and it goes into "sleep mode" every few minutes or so it makes this noise like it keeps on turning on then going back to sleep, turning on then going back to sleep. It never did this before. Does anyone else hear these weird noises when it's in sleep mode?
For some reason it does not make these noises when I press the power button, and then press sleep. So this confuses me.

I have the same problem after just having my logic board replaced.

Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?

Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?

Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

My MacBook Pro makes strange noises when I open iPhoto and when I close it.

My MacBook Pro makes strange noises when I close my laptop and when I open iPhoto. iPhoto then proceeds to close when the noise stops. Is there any cure for this? Please help.

What kind of noise? Any other app make noise?

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design! It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product. There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad. I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating. I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad. The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon. Failsafe user experience?

Why is it saying my password is incorrect when trying to download adobe flash?

why is it saying my password is incorrect when trying to download adobe flash?

Hi,
I assume you are trying to update Flash Player on a Mac machine. If so, please use your Mac system ID and password and not the Apple ID (used for purchases on Apple Store) or any Adobe related ID.
Hope this solves your problem.
With regards,
