Keyboard update killed the PhotoBooth "fix" for whine

What problems was this update supposed to fix? After reading all the replies on this thread, there's no way I'm touching this update without more information.

Folks,

Same problem here - iSight/Photobooth trick no longer works after the keyboard update. I also had a local authorized repair center replace my logic board today and it did not make a difference - frustrating!

i have a week 9 that NEVER whined... now i installed
this update and its there!

Thats because you've always had the whine just never heard it because of the different load on your system don't worry though it will be fixed soon from a software update.

Never had a whine on my MBP. Took the plunge and installed the keyboard update. No problems, no whine.

I had maybe the faintest of "whines" which is by no means bothersome (this is quieter than my 15" 1.5GHZ PB) before this update and even then only on battery power. Now, if anything it is even quieter. In case it matters my serial is W8609....

No problems at all here.

I was using the PhotoBooth "fix" to kill the horrible
whine, whereas I would launch Photo Booth, click on a
thumbnail and then quit the application and the whine
was gone. Well, after installing the keyboard update
1.0 released today, quitting PhotoBooth means the
whine is back...

Same here, subtle but there.

This *****. The mirror widget hack worked now is made obselete by the keyboard update. HELP!

Ok. Something is really strange here. I also used
QuietMBP successfully in the past, but since the
PhotoBooth with quit fix was working I put it aside.
Well now that the PhotoBooth is not working, I went
back to the mirror and the QuietMBP fixes. Both are
working, as long as they are open, which is, in my
view, an unacceptable fix whereas you loose 8 -12% of
your CPU in some cases.

So decided to go back home, closed the lid and packed
up. Upon un-sleeping the computer at home... no
whine.... So I tried it many times.. Here's what is
working for me now...

If I restart, the whine comes up.
Open up QuietMBP and adjust it appropriately,
silencing the whine.
Then, close the lid, putting the computer to sleep.
Give it a couple of minutes, and then reopen the
screen. The whine is gone... but then of course, all
the time QuietMBP was up... so no mistery there...
But now, quit QuietMBP. Still no whine... and full
CPU... Before, at least for me, quitting QuietMBP
would immediately bring back the whine...

Apple?

YES! same here!

What is going on?!?!

MBP Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It's true...
Mirror widget don't work after keyboard update....
WHEN RESOLVE APPLE THIS WHINE PROBLEM ???
I think when I'll sell this MBP and buy another notebook

The recent updates actually quiet down my whine... significantlly. I can still hear it if I listen it up close, but if I were at my regular position (typeing) then I hardly hear it...I'd like to keep it this wya... 😀

I'm angry!
In two months Apple don't say nothing about Whine problem...
No official position, no patch, no upgrade... nothing... It's is unacceptable!
Apple care could be formidable assistance but this don't true....

Never another Apple's products for me while Apple solve our problem.

Seems like we are the "betea testers" for this LapCook Pro.

All solutions or fixes are coming from the users and not Apple, this is really bad. We find tweaks and then they mess it all up with an obviouly not tested update.

I now have a screen flicker at low brightness settings I did not have before as well. Can someone else confirm this? I used to run at 1-2 bars with no flicker. Now it flickers at these settings.

William

No flicker here and maybe I am crazy but it may be running slightly cooler.

Solution: Use trick like you are used to use it (mirror, photo booth etc) and then:

go to sleep mode (close macbook and wait till its in sleep mode) and then open it. Worked in my case. (MBP 2 GHz, 2 GB Ram, 120 GB HD)

William,

Just a note to tell you that I am still laughing about your "LapCook Pro" reference. That is honestly the funniest thing I have seen all week. Kudos . .
