- ventro, on 10/11/2007, -4/+69I have the popping as well. It sucks balls. Kind of like this comments system.
- defectDS, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Oh this is happening to me too, yay I'm not alone! I thought it was my speakers. *sigh of relief*
- JonLatane, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20My Macbook has been updated with 10.4.10 since it was released and I've had absolutely zero problems.
- ideaofprogress, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16I thought my computer was dying. I'm glad it's just the OS.
- oddfreakperson, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14I happens every 10 seconds if you are using ichat. MAKE IT STOP. I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE. But at least I'm not the only one with this problem. [Eagerly awaits 10.4.10.1.0.0.0.0.1.0]
- erry, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13same here
- harshbarj, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12While I'm sure your going to got dugg down for that comment, your right. Sadly a double standard exists. Problems on a mac are just brushed off while on windows the same type of bug is a reason to switch to a mac (which as we see has it's share of problems).
Guess the "it just works" idea is out the window in this case. - eliah, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11MBP, generation behind the current one, pops here. Someone from the Apple forums wrote a little app that works around the problem by continually playing a silent MP3: http://www.tpiper.com/popstop/popstop.zip
- wackymacs, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10I have a feeling Apple stopped properly testing Tiger updates on older Mac hardware - I have read about problems with the latest updates on the PowerMacs and PowerBooks before...
- stewacide, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I purchased a current-rev Macbook that had this problem (before 10.4.10), returned it thinking it was defective, and the replacement had it as well. Poking around the internet, it seems it's a universal or near universal problem w/ Intel Macbooks and MBPs. It's clearly something to do with the sleep state. Apple customer care said they'd never heard of it, and even accepted my original exchange on those grounds. At this point I'm putting up with it and hoping for a software fix...
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7And silently kills your battery life
- tzonic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7The original link I submitted actually is to a specific post on the forum - oops! It still takes you to the forum, but this is what the link should have been: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4776149
- sych0, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Haha, it's funny because this comment system sucks
- drmobutu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Two days ago, I installed 10.4.10 on my Powerbook G4, and now it won't wake from sleep properly.
- itsme92, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5That's because it only affects Intel Macs with laptop parts. (in other words everything but the Mac Pro). The popping sound is the audio chip turning itself on and off to save power. Before 10.4.10, it only would pop when you were on battery power, now it does it when you're plugged in. It drives me nuts on my Macbook.
- dafatkid27, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Oh man, I was totally freaking out, and couldn't find anybody with the same problem. I was JUST trying to think of what to do to fix it. Thank god for this!
- DrPhibes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I got the POP's too. Only when I have external speakers connected to my MacBook. I hope Apple fixes it soon, It's pretty annoying.
- jsg7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I never run any OS updates until they have been out for a few days. Better to wait and see if lots of people have seen bugs before I unleash it on my system.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -7/+11This is just pathetic...I guess all of Apple's good engineers are working on the iPhone leaving the retards in charge of OS X release management.
- insomniacal, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6iPop? You mean, something like the speaker click my work-issued Windows 2000 Dell Latitude D500 had made every 6 seconds throughout its entire life?
Maybe OS X really _is_ beginning to copy Windows. - friend18, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7I noticed the popping since the update. Though I wouldn't describe it as a pop. It sound more like a thump to me. I went to the apple discussion forums looking for a fix but there is none yet. :-(
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4They're too busy working on the iPhone...
- shaunhey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Same here... no problems with the 10.4.10 update on a 1.83 CD Macbook
- drrawle, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Mine to! Sort it out please Apple!!
- ZigVicious, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4yeah, it'd be such a big but.
- Hydroxyl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Yeah, I got scared because there was a power surge, and I had thought I had blown the speakers or something.
- mobilehavoc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Just to point out the obvious but this double standard is especially prevalent on Digg.com. Other places are nowhere near as bad. Seems a large amount of the 5% Apple users are also Digg users.
For what it's worth, I've never had a Windows (XP or Vista) update released by Microsoft cause any problems ever. Never heard of others either...3rd party is different, we're talking about Apple releasing an update that ***** up your system. I'd be pissed but as expected the Apple faithful just let it go... - lightningrod220, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7/me hugs problem-free PowerMac G5 and smiles...
- jaynestown, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I'm having no problems with the .10 update. iMac Intel Core 2 Duo.
- Niten, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It's happening on my Core 2 iMac too, for what it's worth (but not my old iBook G4).
- corsairstw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It's highly unlikely that the Safari 3.0.2b fixed the problem. I installed the update and am still getting the popping/thumping noise when there is no audio activity for 10 seconds.
- itsme92, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4lucky bastard
- bardamuclichy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4iPhone is coming out for AT&T/Cingular customers only, correct? Interesting in that EVERYONE I know is either on Verizon or Sprint. We've been waiting for 10.5 at work before we upgrade to MacBook Pros... but now I'm hearing they're setting up the next revision AFTER the 10.5 release... Jan.
Why am I saying this? Well, we're looking at purchasing 5 Macbook Pros and ZERO iPhones. - applebyte, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Do you have external speakers connected via the headphone jack? It's only noticeable then, as this bug is related to the line-out, not the built-in speakers.
- kashem, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4I must be lucky -- no pops on Mac Pro.
- christianw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2use the combo installer instead of software update.
combo installers always seem to be missing any problems that most people have had with the updates in the last year in my experience. - philo23, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21.83 Core Duo Referb. Macbook, 10.4.10. Zero problems.
- digiguy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5No popping here
- blackjack75, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I guess you're right :-)
http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+update+broke+my - apologeticus, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6"How but it was?" Is this some kind of windoze-speak I'm not familiar with?
- themulf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Wow, I am glad I didnt' rush to update my macbook to 10.4.10.
- norbiu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Tell me about it. My MacBook's screen started flickering the day after the update.
- SwabTheDeck, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I haven't gotten the pop, but I did notice that the audio port now seems to power down when it's idle. For most people this is probably good, but I have two computers plugged into one set of speakers and when the audio port on my Mac turns off, the audio from the other computer suddenly becomes VERY LOUD. I though my wires were loose initially, but it seems that this is the problem. I hope when they fix this that they just leave it how it was before with the audio port always powered.
- maninblac1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Okay, so i alrady know this one is going to bite me.
But for much people hate MS and windows, i've never in all my life seen an MS update do anything like this.
Say what you will but MS doesn't release broken patches that often.
Ok, WinME was a broken patch but this behind us right? - lvl3bomb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Amazing. Well said.
Every update Apple releases, I read here in these comments that people shouldn't update straight away with the first update release....
This time, I acted on this advice... cool : ) thanks.. - norbiu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Yeah. It wakes up, asks for my password, type it in and goes back to sleep again. WTF Apple ?!
- clperez390, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You'd think with control of both the hardware and the software things like this wouldn't happen.
- kolywater, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2maybe, but i'm getting this issue on my 9 month old macbook.. so it may be more than a lack of testing on older hardware.
- tpiper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah, it will do. As I said, it incurs an extra ~2% CPU usage. At this point, you have a choice - turn off the speakers, leave an MP3 playing, or use PopStop.... the choice is yours.
- bagelpirate, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2This has been happening to me, I have a Core 2 duo 15" MacBook Pro. Its ***** loud through my speakers when it happens.
