make a clicking sound from inside my Mac

Just started today. Every few minutes I get a clicking sound from inside my iMac. It seems to work ok, however. Thought, it may be overheating and cleaned by vacuuming all the vents, but it did not help.

Perhaps an early indication of a hard drive failing. Support everything up immediately (if you have not already) and get it checked with a free diagnosis in an Apple Center.

  • My iMac makes a clicking sound in the back

    We have recently moved on a barge, and the veil of the power of the computer is done by a 1600 watt inverter. However whenever plug us the computer in you can here a small click in the back, on the top left that you're sitting at the computer. Once we turned on the computer and clicking him was slightly stronger.

    The inverter works the Chargers TV, iPad and macbook with no problems.

    While in our marina home that we are connected to a shoreline with the socket normal 230-240v voltage and then we have no problem with the iMac that works as it should.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It's the power to complain that the power of the inverter is not good enough. You should not run your iMac with this condition or you may damage the power supply. You could try a UPS nominal value between the inverter and the iMac to see if that cleans things.

  • Is it supposed to be a rattle from inside the phone?

    Got a Defy a few weeks ago. Love it until yesterday when I suddenly cant' hear someone on a phone call and only the speaker/headphone works (like make a few posts down). Back to T-mobile tomorrow.

    However, my phone has a deaf/rattle sound from inside the phone when you shake it, and you can feel something moving inside. I thought it was something to do with sensors/accelerometers in the phone or something, but now the internal speaker is broken I wonder if it is supposed to do this or if she actually always a hardware problem.

    Phone of someone else than the same noise/do the same thing? Is it supposed to do this or not?

    -Daniel

    There should not be a rattle... but there is!

    I have the same problem. It is caused by the battery move when you shake the phone, it doesn't have a tight fit. I used a piece of foam under the battery very thin to stop this rattle noise. Not impressed!

    You will see on these forums that some users have had problems with defective headphones... so far I did not have this.

    Hope that such Defys won't suffer from bad workmanship I really like the phone.

    Check your battery by shaking the phone with the cover off... let me know how you go.

  • No sound from my Mac, all THE

    Hello

    Earlier today, I connect my Mac to listen to the music and the sound no longer works. I checked the system preferences and went to the sound option. I looked out, and the only thing available was my apple tv.

    As you can see, the mute box he checked and gray. I been to countless forums telling me that the red light in the headphone needs to be reset for the internal to appear again speaker. Well... There is no red light at first. I tried to reset the thing of LANDAU and he just a gray screen as a thing that is like the terminal because you can do almost anything on the mac from there. I didn't know where to go from there, because the only thing that told the forum is to listen to the startup sound and a few buttons. I don't hear the startup sound at all.

    I don't want to go antics with all that because I don't want to mess up anything else.

    While writing that gave me access to reuse my Soundbar and the volume changer, but the internal speakers still do not appear, and the mute button is still gray and ticked off. No sound from the computer. No matter what. I'll try to reset once more.

    -Kay

    Hi Kay, try this:

    1. Plug your headphones.
    2. Play sounds through them, then stop the track.
    3. Go to System Preferences > Sound
    4. Set on headphones, then remove the headphones.5
    5. Who should provide "internal speakers".

    When I press on what anyone, my computer makes click sound... How can I stop it

    Original title: click sound

    Locate the speaker icon in the system tray. Mouse right click and set the volume to zero or select mute. Or the other of these actions will remove the clicks but also all other sounds. This includes audio media player and others.

    -OR-

    Navigate to Control Panel All Items Sound. Click the sounds tab choose model of sounds. (Usually set to default Windows.)

    See the list in the program events window. Set if they are boring to something else or climbs to (none). Out OK.

  • New iPhone SE no sound from the speaker of the brand

    I just bought a new iPhone SE and I'm getting no sound from the speaker. Does anyone have any ideas on a possible resolution?

    I restored from an iPhone 5 to the top, both phones are on the latest version of iOS.

    Once the synchronization is complete, I ejected the phone correctly. But there is no sound coming from the speaker:

    • Key "secret" in both positions, no sound from the speaker
    • The top volume, using the volume buttons and the sound, no sound from the speaker settings
    • Headset plugged in, sound comes from the helmet, remove them, the iPhone recognizes, but still no sound
    • I tried the music app, ringtone from another phone, videos, podcast app, no sound from the speaker
    • Past the phone power off & on again, no sound speaker
    • Reset iPhone (hold both buttons down for 10 seconds), no speaker sound
    • Reset iPhone settings, no speaker sound

    I begin to suspect it is a hardware problem, but as I am not near the Apple Store, I would try as much as I can before you go this route.

    Thank you

    Hello Andy,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you have restored your iPhone backup iPhone a precedent, and now there is no sound from the speaker.  Given the troubleshooting you have already done your next step is to restore the factory settings to see if the problem persists:

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    If the problem persists, then please make an appointment with the Apple Store is close.

  • My sound from speakers and shit

    (I have the IdeaPad y510p, btw).

    Then I updated level to Windows 10 Home and noticed that my JBL speakers now sound like shit.

    I reinstalled the sound drivers, nothing works.

    I noticed, however, that things sound beautiful when you use headphones... so I don't think that it is the sound card, but the speakers that have reset or whatever the update.

    I remember when I bought this PC firstly that there was only some built in Lenovo crudware to change sound options, and most of them makes the speakers sound bad, as they do now - slender and away a little weak. So I uninstalled.

    Now that my sound from speakers like this again, is there a way I can get this program once again? I have no idea what it was called, but it allowed you to adjust your speakers for stuff like 'movies' and 'music '. I want to see if fiddling with making my speakers together again.

    And otherwise, a Council? Any ideas?

    Grazie.

    Of course, how selfish of me.

    Type in "change the settings of the sound card" in the search bar and open it. Double-click on your speakers to open the speaker Properties window. In this, go to the tab called Dolby and click the power button in the upper left corner to switch it off.

  • No sound from laptop speaker

    I have Dell inspiron N4010 what me about his problem. No sound from internal speakers of my laptop, but during the test (by pressing F12 during startup Dell diagnostics enable) sounds from the speakers correctly in hardware test. Its also in the headphones, not any problem with headphones properly.
    I have try it with various media players but the problem is to stay. Pilot about audio update.

    You may be better to ask a Dell forum, as - http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3517.aspx

    Apart from the obvious controls make sure that the speakers are not dumb, so click the "speaker" icon.

    And verification of the sound card is listed and apparently activated and works in Device Manager.
