Hello,
When running iTunes 10.5.1 in full screen mode on Lion 10.7.2, I get a faint, high pitch noise coming from my speakers. If I run iTunes in a refular window, the noise does not manifest itself. I can switch back and forth between one full screen app and iTunes, and the noise goes on and off and only manifests itself in iTunes.
Has anyone else experienced this?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
hidiho...
same here and that for quite some time :S
it's very annoying but apple doesn't seem to care about it...
we'll have to endure it
My iMac 27" does the same thing running Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1.
Just noticed it tonight and found this thread. Very annoying. Glad I'm not alone, but wish there were more people that would notice it and post here.
I think I've found a workaround. The problem doesn't only happen in iTunes, but also in the Finder's list view when in full screen.
The workaround is to use Shades, a small utility that creates a uniform black color mask over my screen. All I had to do was set the brightness of my screen to 100%, run shades and lower the "brightness" using that utility to something comfortable for my eyes.
I think the issue comes from the high frequency flicker that the LED back light uses when the screen is being dimmed. For some reason, the speakers pick up on it when in list view... Why only list view? Beats me.
Anyway, the Shades prefpane can be downloaded from the following URL:

I hope this helps.
All the best!
Screen overheats when monitor is set to full brightness, so I stopped using it. Still no solution. 😟
