macbook pro 3 beeps after pressing power

The end result is a unibody MacBook Pro that should no longer freeze up due to a 7200rpm hard drive that likes to take breaks when it shouldn’t. When Apple finally releases a real fix for this bug at some point in the future, you can safely remove hdapm the same way you installed it. Is there anybody else out there who this is working for? Not working for? Let’s hear from all you 7200rpm unibody MacBook Pro owners! Except this time you’re deleting the two files instead of copying & pasting them. UPDATE – 8/19/09: Apple has released MacBook Pro Hard Drive Firmware Update 2.0, which brings 7200rpm drives up to firmware 0007APM2.

Since this is already the firmware shipping with the newest batch of MacBook Pros such as mine, it’s unknown at this time if this fix really solves the problem for all users.

Can anyone confirm that this solution from Apple works for their MacBook Pro? It might get rid of the beeping and clicking, but perhaps not the freezing. UPDATE – 9/10/09: Unfortunately, it looks like Snow Leopard and hdapm do not like each other. I have been experiencing one or two 15-30 second freezes every day since upgrading to Snow Leopard. What is the status of everyone else’s unibody MacBook Pros, especially after making the leap to 10.6? Even worse, I can still hear the hard drive starting and stopping when this is going on. UPDATE – 10/15/09: At long last, it appears Apple has come to the rescue with Performance Update 1.0. #Macbook pro 3 beeps after pressing power free#.#Macbook pro 3 beeps after pressing power password#.#Macbook pro 3 beeps after pressing power update#.
