It's the Power Supply that causes the whine. It all depends on how much power is going through it. I've heard whines and similar sounds on PCs, Desktop Macs and Laptops...all relat…

There has been several reports about similar whine in other brands as well...

I see something of merit here, though I still don't think it's a lead. I think tt's the whole CPU that's vibrating, albeit in very small increments. Just like switching power sup…

My MBP must be broken, it doesnt seem to make noise.

The thread above me was the best post of the whole thread lol. The more I read up on the MacBook Pro I think I am just going to buy a 15" Powerbook G4 Alum. from Apple Refurb for…

I have a 1st gen iPod mini that I use with my MacBook and have no problems at all. That is really strange that yours just quit working like that. Did you install the new ipod softw…

nope...nothing different from the times it worked before. its really driving me batty.

correct me if I'm wrong. But the firewire connectors aren't officially made for the 5G iPods are they? I've heard that although they may work, they won't work as good as they wil…

Firewire cables only work to charge the 5G iPods. But the poster didn't say anything about having a 5G iPod.

Maybe, but if he says that everything was working fine until yesterday, and that after changing to a different firewire cable "everything is working fine" I think it's safe to assu…
