If it is a short series of clicks (a 'tick, tick, tick' sound) this is fairly common. The click sound is caused by the drive parking its head. There are multiple causes for this, including power management and shock detection. If it is harmless, it will tend to happen when the HDD is idle.
If it is a louder knocking sound... You are more likely to have a problem.
Whichever the case, don't be complacent.... Download a copy of 'SMART reporter' (it's free) which will warn you of impending HDD failure in many cases. Also make sure that you keep everything backed up.
I might also be worth considering replacing your HDD as others have suggested, just to be safe.

I have one of these in my 2009 Air, and it honestly turned my Air into a whole different computer. The difference between it with the SSD and the old HDD is night and day.
Same here! Go with OWC and your old MBA becomes a totally new and significantly snappier machine that has a backlight keyboard.

I have a problem since the 10.3.8 update that neither my AlumiBook nor my G5 will got to sleep. It's terribly annoying.
Anyone else have this issue?
Actually yes. That's happening with my G4 867. I thought I was taking crazy pills or something. I didn't know whether or not it was the update cuz I never used to sleep my tower, then one day I had it shut down and I realized it's like having a Cessna in your bedroom.

get a neoprene sleeve for it that zips up. neoprene is a good protective material that feels like a wetsuit. One you have that, you put it in a nice backback with the rest of your stuff. The ultimate cary on.

So i received a broken mac from a coworker. It is a black macbook running at 2.4ghz intel core duo 2, with 2 gigs of ram, etc. He had originally brought the mac to the apple store reporting that it was not turning on. They said that their might be water damage and he shouldn't bother trying to fix this. Months later when i get the laptop, it completely turns on and is full functional for the most part. The Optical drive, hard drive, screen, speakers work and the computer turns on via connected to the power adapter. However the connection leading towards charging the battery and receiving a charge from the battery does not work. He gave me the computer with both batteries, one which came from the original purchase and one that he bought recently just a few months ago. So the problem is not only are both batteries not receiving a charge or powering the laptop but they both are fully dead. I confirmed this because i have a fully functional white macbook and tried its battery in the black macbook and also tried charging the black batteries via the white macbook.
What can possibly be wrong with the black macbook charging? Do i need to get a whole logic board or is their something localized i can do?

Hello everyone
First of all I want to let everyone know that I'm not very familiar with OS X so please bare with me.
I just got a Powerbook G4 15 1GHZ :D , this is my first apple notebook, last year I got the iMac as soon as they came out, and I have been using it for home use (office, internet browsing, cd burning, etc)
At home I have DSL connection shared through a Windows XP and a Wireless network.
I was able to set up the airport network and everything worked ok from home, file sharing, computer browsing, internet browsing.
I took the computer to work where I am going to use the built ethernet, I gave the computer a fixed ip address, configured the DNS, the router but here is where my problems start, with the configuration I set up (basically the same as my home configuration) I am able to browse the network (windows domain computers), I am able to use MSN messenger (so I know I have internet access), I can ping any web addres (example, if I ping www.fark.com , I get the name resolved and get response from the server) but I cannot get the pages to load in safari, or internet explorer.
Anyone out there have an idea?:confused:
Thanks

I am thinking of ordering the lacie slim dvd burner
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10186
I know it isn't as fast as a desktop model, but I want to be able to take it with me, and I know my next mac will have a superdrive, so I wouldnt need an external burner. Right now I am using the superdrive on my G4 powermac. I am curious as to how much slower or faster the lacie slim is?
Advice is appreciated!

He can keep it. Expensive private gifts are discouraged to prevent corruption through bribery. The iPhone was presented openly as personal gift.
Under anti-corruption rules backed by Medvedev, government officials are only allowed to accept gifts that cost less than 3,000 rubles ($100), and iPhone 4 pre-orders in Russian online shops range from 85,000 to 95,000 rubles ($2,700 to $3,000).
The phone, which will not go on sale in Russia before this fall, retails for up to $600 in the United States.
A Kremlin spokeswoman said Thursday that the iPhone was a personal gift to Medvedev so he could do with it as he pleased. Reminded of the gift rules, she said the restrictions applied to gifts accepted in private.
�This is different because the iPhone is a gift presented to the president officially in an open setting,� she said.

If you have two or more tracks of audio, say a vocal mic was on each, for spoken word. It's not too much bother to manually snip out the silence(ish) from the inactive mics but is there a better way?
i've found i get the best results when doing manual gain rides, and i'll do this for a lead vocal in a song. but for fast results, you can use a technique called ducking. ducking uses the presence of audio on one track to automatically turn down another track.
someone put up a video of how to do it in PT here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WDlJWJYw8g), though i only watched the first minute. there's lots of step by step instructions online.

The 400mhz iMac has no fans. Technically the only moving part is the hard drive, and that could be making a buzzing sound, although its usually more of a high pitched whine. The only other part that would buzz is the CRT or power supply, and those are usually not repairable. Replacement parts are also expensive.

First off, Mpeg streamclip if used to convert an MTS file to Apple Pro Res 422 would not reduce the quality of the video and you can set the framerate to 60fps.
As for the video in premiere not looking as sharp, could it be that it was out of focus to begin with or the fact that you have not rendered your video? A sharpening plugin is really a joke, it won't add any more detail to your video than what you already have.
As for 60fps vs 24fps, the only real way you will notice is if you originally shot in 24p. When you convert from 60 to 24 it's not the same as natively recording at 24fps and most of the time it is hard to see the difference unless you know what you are looking for.
When exporting to mp4 you are compressing the video so you have to find the balance between a large file size and quality or low quality and file size.
