[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1361682, member: 46727"] I moved your question to the correct forum - here in Apple Desktops forum. About the beeping.... Let's try to see if we can isolate it. Start your iMac up in "safe mode". Hold down your shift key as soon as you hear the chime. The machine will boot to safe mode. If the beeping occurs in safe mode, then we'll know it's hardware related. If it doesn't beep, it means it's being caused by some program or process. Boot back to normal mode. Open your Activity Monitor - Applications, Utilities, Activity Monitor.app. Leave it open and try to watch it for any activity that may be causing the beeping. Also, think back... have you recently installed any programs or devices? Perhaps a program that you installed and then removed? As far as scanning for viruses go, it really isn't necessary as there are currently no viruses for the Mac that are in the wild. There is malware, but no viruses. [/QUOTE]
