Hi guys, just wanna check with you guys whether the problem I encounter is normal or not. I normally use it for normal web browsing & listen to songs on Itunes, but time to time the pointer will turn to the colorful round loading thingy while I can hear the hard disk mechanical sound, the song playing on Itunes will stop too, it'll last about 1 to 2 seconds and everything will go back to normal.. I dont think this is normal?

Thanks guys for the replies smile.gif There're no CD/DVD in the drive, I'm not sure whether is it coming from the harddisk or not (might be the CD/DVD drive) but its confirm a mechanical sound.. Cant believe it happen to my 3 weeks old mbp, anyway I'll heed the advice and give Apple Care a call..

Born as Mac user.. Die as Mac ghost tongue.gif

btw, wanna ask is it that apple care's staff very knowledgeable hor? we can ask them almost anything related to our mac?

bcoz if not mistaken, one of the selling point of ACPP is their great telephone support right?

i need to call them to solve my chinese character problem and some eng fonts that readable in Windows are unreadable in Mac sad.gif

I called them 3 weeks ago for wireless connection help, the one who speak to me is an Ang Mo.. He's very patience and keen to help me solve my problem, the information he want to transfer over the line is very clear, can understand him totally.. And yea, just query them your questions and they'll do their best to help you..
