CARBON COPY CLONER FOR MAC OS X 10.2.8 INSTALL
The rep had me boot up from my install disc, which is 10.1 and from my hard disk in 9.2.2. I just got off the phone with a senior Apple Tech at Apple Education Care, he said they have been having a software issue between the 10.2.5/10.2.6 operating system and the iBook sound system which results in a very annoying clicking sound. Anyhow, I have this problem, exactly it, but worse or different. But Google searched for ibook clicking sound and heck if I didn’t stumble upon this page. I’d grabv a copy of carbon copy clone and back up your system just to be safe, then if you have to replace the drive, it should be moderrately painless (my biggest gripe with ibooks are how much harder it is to get at the HD drive now). My 2 cents is that it is your hard drive - especially if you just did lots of traveling and as such, the ole laptop could have been stored in many non-standard positions or jarred more than normal.īest of luck with it - try running the ibook hardware disc and see if the drive fails any tests. my 800mhz ibook hasnt popped or ticked, though it makes an occassional odd beep that i think could be the power manager, but i’m just not sure… My old powerbook literally had a screw loose boouncing around in it for a scary 2 weeks until i broke down and stripped it over a weekend and reassembled with the offending part removed. youve got the HD, the optical drive, and nothing else really, right? Hmmm - a truly disturbing condition…thing is, there just arent that many moving parts in an ibook.
