"WHINE INSIDE"

Dear Apple and Fellow Mac Users,

This whine issue is out of hand.

What is most offensive is Apples attempts to deny and cover up a very obvious (whine) problem.

What do they expect with a 3,000 dollar computer.

Its getting and gaining huge publicity, and as a consumer I am glad. Apple needs to fix this, admit its a problem and figure out what to do and ensure all of us they will fix our computers (whine)

Any aspiring artists wanna make me a "Whine Inside" Logo?

Ill be starting a website in a month if apple continues to ignore this problem.

macbookpro, Mac OS X (10.4.5), its noisy

LOL. What a great idea.... I guess you are right. It is getting more and more difficult for them to bury their heads in the sand.

I think you should really think about the propriety of your posting a message like this on an Apple owned site. Take it elsewhere...

ive heard appple has been deleting these posts, but i think they have stopped cause they know it will backfire, of course i dont know this is true cause APPLE is the best cpu company on the planet, but (whine) please address this, the world is starting to talk about it.

Please send logo to purplerobot@gmail.com, so i can send it around., if we all act. maybe apple will do something about this instead of try to get away with out really fixing this (whine) problem.

Im gonna write into major magazines with this issue.

send logo.. thanks

No i dont think anything is wrong with asking about this issue, its all over the internet now, engadget.com, all the mac sites, its everywhere,

Im not trying to disrespect apple, i LOVE apple, but come on its free speech and were all just trying to get apple to publicly aknowledge the problem , thats what we all want

im not trying to start a revolution, just trying to (whine) think different...

apple RULES (whine)

If anybody gets an email response from apple about this id love to see it.

I can understand that if they fess up , they could possibly have many returns on there hands, and that would cost them in profit. But the way this thing is like wildfire all over the web, its a good thing they address this sooner then later.

If any apple reps are reading this, this is not a dissedent voice, rather a loyal customer that expects a little more (whine) from such a Insanely (whine) Great company

Get ready to recieve a message from Apple... Haha.
Yeah, I bet Apple doesn't like this, but it's a know fact. Even if they delete this, there's lots of other posts on this elsewhere.

I think that the problem needs to be addressed with Intel. The last time I mentioned this, the post was deleted. The problem with the "whine" for those that have it is not just with Apple, but with other vendors using the same chips. That makes this an Intel issue first, and an Apple issue second.

Who did we buy the computer from bob? We bought it from apple, we have nothing to complain to intel about. The one and only responsible is apple for having chose these noisy chips (considering it is the cpu that is causing the noise and not somehing else). Therefore, it is an apple issue first and only an apple issue, we did not buy the laptop from intel we have nothing to do with intel, we bought a product from apple and expect apple to take care of the problems it has and no one else. As for the other vendors using these chips that is there problem and has nothing to do with apple nor with us.

What makes you think Apple isn't trying to fix the problem? Because they haven't fixed it yet?

Is there not a 600+ post thread detailing user experience with the problem going back to its inception?

Your logic is misplaced.

*cough cough* g3 iBook logic board *cough cough*

I own a whiney MBP, and while it is angering, that is what us Rev. A crowds get from Apple. I knew to expect something, its just how it works.

Apple is so great at making us want something when we don't even really know WHY we want it in the first place, that we are destined to buy then regret.

I own now Macs for over 20 years. The whine in my brand new PowerBook is annoying me so much that I risk to smash it against the wall. In the past 20 years I never had to blame Apple, and yes, the also are allowed to have some problems.
What I blame is the manner they act. Instead of deleting messages and trying to have the image of a perfect company they should even post a message in the support database like this one: 'Apple is aware of a whining noise in the MacBook Pro. We are working hard on a solution and will post fix notes once we found a solution.'
If you create a website count me in. I will support you. The iSight solution works, but is a pain in multi-user mode. No other user can make usage of the cam as long as one logged user uses the cam to eliminate noise.

I completely agree.. it seems that if I put the computer to sleep and then wake it again.. the noise stops.

I agree, but Apple has been pretty good about fixing issues in the past, including white spots and bad logic boards after the initial warranty period is past. The MacBook Pro has only been in the hands of consumers for about a month now. Give 'em a little more time. Until then, use one of the work arounds such as launching Comic Life and then closing it.

Bob, I'll never be able to tell you how lucky you are to have one that doesn't whine. So, so, lucky. :/
