Vibrating and whirling noise whenever I load a new song?

I just bought a new 30GB video ipod from Costco and I've noticed that whenever I choose a new song, I can feel my iPod vibrating in my hands and I can hear whirling and clicking sounds inside of it. Basically I can distinctly hear my iPod loading the new song. I used to use my friend's iPod all the time, and I don't remember ever noticing this with hers.
So I'm just curious as to whether this is normal or not. If it is, I can deal. If it isn't, I'd like to exchange this for a new iPod at Costco. Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok i had one of the early ipods and i knoticed this noise and knew what it is. Recently i lost mine and bought a new 30gb and its different. (Its the new ones w/ search) When its loading songs on there or a movie is playing and i turn it any way (up, down side or anything) it will stop the hard drive and make a sound like the disc in the hard drive is lose. It stops all progress and take like 5 seconds to start back up doing it until you bump it again. I took it back and got the new one and it does the same thing. My old one didnt and neither does my firends new ipod that has the search option on it also...
Is this a hardware error w/ the new ones because it ***** when your watching a movie... stopping all the time... anyone know what to do or if this is normal which doesnt seem to be the case to me but w/e....

I had to transferr my music files from one computer to another by directly copying the files from the hard drive to a new drive. Itunes recognized the files and I was able to load in new songs. The new songs won't sync with ipod. Ideas?

To copy the files I had to remove the hard drive and direct copy them to an expansion drive on another machine. ITunes recognized the copied files and operates correctly on the computer. I was able to download additional songs to ITunes on the computer without problem. The IPod however will not recognize the new songs, does an abreviated sync process and gives a message that the IPod cannot sync because files are being used by another application. It is also does not want to accept the disconnect command. Any suggestions on how to solve the sync problem?

how did you save the songs? can you play the songs? have you restarted the computer?

ITunes is adding a lot of music from my last backup whenever I add one new song

So I am on my second iPhone and for years I have just managed my music manually. In itunes, syncing for music is turned off. Manually manage music is turned on. iCloud, iTunes match etc. are all turned off. I frequently add and remove albums from my phone without any incidents - until lately. Now whenever I add a new song or album to my phone, itunes also adds all the music that was included in my phone's last backup. So if I had like 10 albums on my phone when I backed it up, that were then deleted on my phone - it re-adds them. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this to stop. The only thing that works is deleting all the backups on my computer. If i do that, the phone lets me add one album at a time. Otherwise it just keeps insiting that these albums belong on my phone. Again, i've gone through like every setting with a fine comb to make sure it's not an obvious check box that I've missed. Help?

Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.

Hi NYYJMM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

Dvd won't eject, only repeatedly makes whirling noises as if loading

I don't understand!
I put in a DVD into my laptop to watch. Granted, it's a burned one and so I thought initially the whirling noises of loading were necessary. Until finally I realized it was ongoing, without any stop! Now, the sound repeats if I attempt to eject the DVD, and otherwise it will not come out.
I don't know what to do, help!

In the Apple stores in the US, you need an appointment. If you just show up, they will schedule an appointment for you, but it may be a long wait. Bring your accessories such a power adapter as well.
No charge for an evaluation or minor repair at an Apple store, in warranty or out. These sorts of things are usually repaired free, while you wait, as long as no parts are required. If dis-assembly is needed, the Apple store will not charge you for minor repairs, but Authorized Service providers may charge a small fee.

13" MBP - vibrates and fan noise

After a month of perfection, my 13" MBP has started to make a quiet low pitched motor vibration noise: kind of as if a CD was in the drive (there isn't). The whole laptop is vibrating which makes it a little awkward to type on.
The pitch changes when the angle of the laptop is changed - at certain angles the noise stops. The noise progressively gets quieter... after about 30 minutes of use it has gone completely.
It's back when the machine is switched off and switched back on again.
Apple support had no solution - they just made me reset a few things.
Was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar?

Very disappointed with Apple on this one - all the support guy could suggest was resetting the SMC/PRAM/whatever ... or take it to the nearest Apple repair shop - 45 min from here.
In the end I removed the bottom cover, popped the fan out and took it apart - applied a tiny amount of grease and reassembled and reinstalled. Awful fan noise completely gone.
** Doing this may affect your warranty - I may or may not have done the above. **

My cd/dvd rom vibrating and making noise sometimes...

There had been a recent Firmware Update for some newer iMac and other
models, one of the items listed in Software Update (page in Apple Support)
says this item is presented as a cure for one issue; but maybe it does more.
About SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3744
... the SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0
This update will eliminate the noise made by the optical
disk drive during wake from sleep on your Mac.
Whether or not this, or other available updates for your
computer will address your concerns is hard to say. If
you have an issue with the computer and utilize your
AppleCare protection plan (as available in your region)
you may have options by calling them about the situation.
And if the optical drive and computer do get inspected
by someone authorized to handle the matter, they can
make a decision as to what they think is the problem &
what kind of lengths they may go to, if it needs a fix.
The Software Update application in your computer can
look and see what kinds of available software updates
are available for the computer. In the case of a Firmware
Update, there are specific rules on how to install those.
PS: optical media with paper labels should be avoided,
since in a slot-drive mechanism, the label may be off-
centered and make the disc wobble in the drive; and also
the paper labels can cause a disc to jamb in the drive slot.
Good luck & happy computing!

Vibrate and buzzing noise

Is there any way to adjust the vibrate on the Droid1. I just received my 3rd replacement and the vibrate function is so high that the phone buzzes loudly. I use vibrate often in meetings and I cannot quietly change my phone to vibrate or even use the function. It is also loud when the phone powers down. I know that my other three phones were not this loud. Went to the verizon store and they told me there is no way to adjust it but they've been wrong before! I had two replacements during the OTA upgrade so I don't know what the upgrade did - just know it changed a lot of things.

It is usually a loose slider...
2 of my phones have been really loud and they have a loose slider.
The other 3 have a "tight" buzz.

I just updated my iPod touch to IOS 5.0.1...but after that my iPod touch cannot synchronise with Itunes. the iTunes do detect the iPod and synchronize it but for examples a new song or aplication that i just download does not appear on my iPod...

i just updated my iPod touch 4G to IOS 5.0.1. after that my ipod cannot synchronise with itunes. during connecting to itunes my ipod seem to be synchronised with itunes but the song or application that i just downloaded did not appear in my ipod.

- First try a rset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring from backup

HT1688 I have an iPhone 5 16 GB.. It keeps popping up "storage almost full." I have a lot of music, but I've had to get rid of all my apps and pictures. I now cannot download new songs either, becuase I do not have enough storage. Do I have to buy a 32gb?

My iPhone 5 is a 16GB. The storage is almost full. Is there a way to add more storage, or do I have to buy a 32GB phone? I've had to delete my pictures and apps. I also cannot download any new music, update apps, or purchase new apps.

Upgrading phones is between you and the carrier if you are wanting them to subsidize the phone. Otherwise you would have to purchase the phone at full price.
Transferring purchases from the phone to iTunes is done with the device is connected to the computer, and in iTunes selecting transfer purchases. Yes, that will yield more storage on the phone when doing that.

CD or DVD and weird noise

hi everyone i really need help i am wondering if my laptop is supposed to make a weird noise when i open my computer and there is a CD or DVD in it my mother gets really freaked out adn think it is broken so please help me
Thank You
Tam

Hi Tamara,
When there's a disc in the drive and you wake the computer, the drive will start to spin. If the CD/DVD is slightly out of balance it will cause a vibration and some noise. My CD or DVD makes a vibrating noise explains it.
Put a blank, unlabled CD in the drive and see if the noise is the same. If it is, please describe it a little better.

I just loaded a few more songs and now it shuts off in the middle of the new songs on

Tried deleteing and reloading but it still does it only on those new ones. I had downloaded software updates prior to loading these new songs. What do I need to do to correct this? And how do you reload firmware which I am reading a lot about?

This is the Zen Nano Plus. Forgot that in first msg.

Static in Audio Out when Loading a new webpage.

Whenever I use the audio out port, for example plugging in a headphone, I would get a spike of static whenever I load a new web-page in Firefox or any internet browser. I can restart the computer and it would go away for like a few hours. Could the network card be causing a charge in the audio out port? Really weird and annoying bug.

in as3 you must explicitly stop all streams (including video) before unloading.
