30Gb 5G iPod - HD clicks after 1.2 update

Anyboy else experiencing this?
There are 2 audible clicks coming from the HD whenever I press play after pausing playback.
I have never noticed this before the 1.2 update. I bought this iPod back in March.

Hey, Steve - You're not alone. I also have a 5G 30 Gb video iPod (first wave), and it's been skipping in my BMW since it was updated to firmware version 1.2. I only updated to version 1.2 because iTunes 7 wouldn't copy certain podcasts without the update. Glad to see I'm not alone, anyway.
I've found that selecting another playlist, and then going back to the original, stops the skipping. It was working fairly well before the update, although it would occasionally weird out after fast forwarding.
Have you tried a full reset - wiping your iPod out, and then reloading everything? I haven't had time to try that, yet. I suspect there might be some artifact on the iPod that's not compatible with 1.2, and might be corrected after a full reset & reload. Also, I wonder if there's any way to update the BMW's iPod adapter?
What is the best way to report this apparent bug to Apple?
Thanks,
Tim
I have a 1st Gen 5G 30GB iPod. After the 1.2 update,
if I am listening in my car, using the BMW iPod
adapter, and shut the radio off, or turn the car off,
when I turn the radio back on the music skips. It
plays 1 sec, skips 1sec and on and on.
I have to turn the radio off and on 3 or 4 times for
the iPod to start playing the songs again without
skipping.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks,
Steve

I can't get my computer to recognize my iPod 4 Touch after a software update.

I can't get my computer to recognize my iPod 4 touch after I do a software update. The iPod goes into restore mode and the the computer won't recognize the iPod no matter what USB port I'm pluged into, or if I reboot the iPod, the computer, or iTunes.

BMW iPod adapter: Problems after 1.2 update

I have the BMW iPod adapter, my pre Sept 5G 30GB iPod, will skip, if the radio is turned off while listening to the iPod.
Then when you turn the radio back on or start the car, it skips
It will play for a second the silence, then play then silence.
The only way to get it to play correctly again is to turn the radio on and of 3-4 times, or unplug the iPod and plug it back in.
This started after the 1.2 update.
Anyone else have this problem?

Problems restarting iMac with iPod plugged in after last software update

Hi everyone,
I have an almost 2 year old 24" iMac Intel, running OS X 10.4.11 and a 30gb iPod video.
I've been having problems with restarting after the last software update. When I went to restart my computer as required for the update, it shut down, started up (the start up sound came on) and then went to just a blue screen for about 10 minutes or more. I got worried and shut down by holding the power button. Then I turned it back on and the same thing happened. So I shut down with the power button again, unplugged my iPod and external HD, turned the computer back on, and everything started up as normal. So I figured it had to do with one of those. I found that when I've started up with the external HD plugged in everything is fine, but every time I restart with my iPod plugged in, the same thing happens!
This has never happened before, and I've never had problems with my iMac before this... Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Hi, try-> System Preferences->Start Up Disk->ensure OS is highlited.
Some Macs find it difficult to Start/ReBoot when an iPhone or iPod is connected, it's as though the computer is searching to boot from an external HD. I would Repair Permissions & do the SMC reset.
Leave the iPod/iPhone unplugged @ reboot...L

Comp. won't recognize ipod touch 4g after ios4.3 update

So i updated my ipod 4g to ios4.3 and it downloaded and installed fine but then my computer didn't recognize my ipod. A window came up saying that "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes." I then restored it but it didn't finish and the same window appeared. I tried restoring a second time but then an error appeared "Error (-1)"
I tried looking up what that error was but it is not in the support/help portion in the apple website. So now my ipod is just sitting here, fully plugged in with the connect to itunes screen.
I also updated to the latest version of itunes BEFORE I tried to update to ios4.3. I rechecked to make sure itunes updated but it stated that it did. Please help anyone!
Oh, I have a PC with Windows 7.

Have a similar problem. My computer is PC with 64 bit windows 7. Itunes is version 10.2.1.1. I use Microsoft Security Essentials for virus/firewall.
Anyways, I did the update this morning. When download finally finished, ITunes began updating my IPod touch & I got a single error (I didn't catch it, but may have been something like 1620 or 1602). I restarted my computer to try everything over again. I booted up and loaded Itunes, but it wasn't saying anything, and I also noticed my IPod wasn't showing up either. I checked, and it was still plugged in, but I did notice that it had a screen with a usb plug pointing to Itunes like I should plug in my Ipod, but it was plugged in.
I checked on internet a bit & didn't find much that was very helpful. I did find one thing on Apple support that sometimes driver gets messed up on update (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538), so I tried that. This entailed deleting the usb driver for apple mobile devices, and then scanningn for new devices, and restoring the apple mobile device driver from a directory under the C drive (c:/program files/common files/apple/mobile device support/drivers). Updating to this file gives a driver that calls itself "Apple Recover (iBoot) USB Driver" with a driver date of 2/11/2011. This has no effect, and I still have the same screen on my IPod and it doesn't show up in Itunes.
On internet I found that my IPod seems to be in a recovery mode, and I tried a couple of the listed methods to get out of the recover mode (these all failed for me, but maybe they'll help someone else). I held down both home & power buttons for 10 sec and then letting go of just the power button. Then you wait until after apple logo dissapears (about another 10 sec) and then you let go of the home button. This is supposed to start the recovery mode for your IPod, but for me I just get a blank screen. There is also a reverse method that does either a DFU or Recovery mode. For that method you just reverse the releasing of the Home and Power buttons, but that just got me back to the usb+itunes screen instead of to a blank screen.
While doing both of these things, I did notice that it would sometimes replace the Recovery Driver with a DFU driver, or sometimes you'd get 2 non-working Recovery drivers. None of these drivers had any effect on Itunes being able to see my IPod. The Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB Driver only comes up when you do the apple support option.
Hopefully this error is widespread enough that it will get apple's attention and a fix will come forth shortly. I'm at my wit's end trying to fix it.

Ipod constantly freezing after new itunes update

i just upgraded to itunes 7 and am running software version 1.2 on ipod and the ipod freezes all the time now. what should i do?

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

My ipod is stuck after trying to update

my ipod tried to update itself thru iTunes, and now i cant even turn it on.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

5th Gen ipod "double clicks" through menus since update

I recently updated the firmware on my early 5th gen ipod from the original 1.0 to the latest version 1.2.1. Since doing so it has a very annoying issue. Almost every time I push the select button in the middle of the wheel, it does a double click. That is, I select Music -> Playlists and suddenly I'm IN a playlist rather than looking at the list of playlists. I back out and choose Albums and instead of looking at the list of albums, I'm in the All submenu. This is extra annoying when it doubleclicks down to the point it's playing a song when I was shooting for a different song.
Have other people seen this? Is this a known bug in the latest firmware? Since this never happened before the update I have to assume it's a bug and Apple really needs to fix this annoyance quickly. In the mean time, is there a way to roll back your firmware to a working version? I never had an issue with 1.0, and now I wish I hadn't updated since it introduced bugs and did nothing else.

Doesn't do it on mine. Have you tried Resetting it? And if that doesn't work, Restoring it?

IPod bails out after only partial update on iTunes

Heres the problem: My ipod starts updating new songs, then after ~1GB of songs ( Ihave 16GBs of songs in iTunes), it just drops out (disappears), comes back a couple minutes later, but then starts updating at some random previous point (say 300GBs). It will get to a point around 1.2-1.5GBs and then bails out againreappearing at some prior update point. It does this over, over.
This has to be my laptop issue because Im on my 2nd iPod and having this SAME exact issue!!!
Ive talked to Apple support but they cant figure this out. Heres what Ive done so far (nothing has helped)
     Ive downloaded SP2 for Windows (apple support guy recommended)
     I disallowed my computer to turn off USB to save power (also an apple recommendation)
     Ive disabled my Network Associates 7.1 Enterprise Virus Scan (apple recommend as well)
     Reinstalled itunes
     Reinstalled iPod updater
     Ive reset ipod, restored ipod and rebooted laptop.
Like I said, this is my 2nd ipod, and the same thing happened (must be some quicky setting/SW with me laptop?)
This is a terrible experience.... Please Help?

Sound clicks after installing SMC update 1.9

Hi,
I have updated SMC driver this afternoon. Since, I have heard crackling / clicking sounds when I play any audio with my headphones in. Initially I thought my headphones are playing up, but the problem continues on speaker as well. Any solution? (I have not backed up)
Jamie

I am also experiencing a sound issue, although I've had it since before the upgrade.
If I leave the laptop untouched the machine is completely silent.
If I then mute iTunes then hit play there is an audible pop/click followed by static. This static stops 15-20 seconds after I hit stop in iTunes, also with a small pop/click.
Does this sound similar?

HDD clicking after EFI Firmware Update 2.7

After I did the EFI firmware 2.7 update and the my macbook pro restarted, I noticed that I started to hear a clicking noise from my laptop. At first, I thought it was a normal sound that I may have not heard before but I checked my other laptops and they aren't making any noise close to this. The other two laptops I checked were also early 2011 models, one 13" and the other is 15".
Here is the recording of the sound.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/108564/iPhone/Memo.m4a
There is some background noise but that clicking sound is the sound I hear. This is recorded with my 4S with the mic hovering around the palm rest and trackpad. I also noticed that when I tilt the laptop, I can hear a grinding sound. I tried to replicate this grinding noise on my other MBPs but I can't replicate it.
What is the best option for me? If I take it to Apple, would they actually be able to replace it for me or resolve the issue? I don't want to waste my time driving 45 minutes to Apple just so they can say it's "normal". Has anyone had this issue before and taken it to Apple?

Pretty nasty, sounds quite regular. Drives don't make that sound normally, sounds defective.
What is your machine specs, opeating system version etc.?
If your drive is grinding, that's a sign it's going to die soon, so you need to backup immediatly.
EFI 2.7 might not be the sole cause, especially if others don't come forward and report the same issue, but might have attributed to something pre-existing.
There has been a unusually high number of issues with the latest EFI firmware updates, why I don't know.
Perform a hardware check, rule out anything else.

You might have a warranty call if the drive is failing.

IPod Application Crashes after 2.1 Update

Did the 2.1 update this morning and everything seemed to go fine. Then I checked out mail, contacts, clock, third-party apps, etc. and they all worked just fine. Then I tapped the orange iPod icon and the splash screen appears, then goes black and back to the Home page. A classic application crash.
Did a hard reset (twice), synced twice, called Apple, they never heard of that kind of crash yet, and suggested a total restore (of course).
Any other similar crashes? I'm hoping this is widespread and will be solved with an update rather than spending the next hour doing a restore and backup and then having the same problem with 2.1.

This guy found the bug!
