Clicking noise and freezing during updating

Hello everyone, if anyone could help with the following problem i'd be more than grateful. my ipod recently wouldnt connect to windows and started making a clicking noise. to try an resolve this i have reset and restored. I thought this would solve the problem. However, when ipod is updating it seems to freeze, stop updating and clicking noise starts. the following message appears
the specified I/O operation on E: was not completed before the time out period expired.
the only way i can disconnect is to shut the computer down. My playlists appear but with no songs.
this is my 2nd ipod (clicking noise also happened so ipod was replaced in warranty) which is now out of warranty. I think my hard drive might be giving up? These discussions are my last hope! Do I buy a new ipod (possibly for the same thing to happen)? or is it worth getting it serviced? Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Even i have a Ipod with a click wheel and is behaving similarly.
Once i connect it to the PC (using USB) it shows the "Do Not Disconnect" sign forever and even iTunes does not recognize it, the hard disk is making some clicking noise and after some time windows returns timeout error "The specified I/O operation on E: was not completed before the time out period expired" !!
I think we are in the same boat, What do we do ???
Thanks

Tecra M10-12M - clicking noises and slight stuttering

I have a strange but serious sound problem with my Tecra M10-12M from December 2008.
It started occurring a month or two ago and behaves like this:
After restarting Vista Professional the sound is perfect.
I use my computer all day long, then put it in Sleep mode at night. The problem starts with occasional clicking noises and slight stuttering, then gradually gets worse. After 3 to 4 days the PC becomes impossible to listen to or use with Skype.
I'm a competent IT person and have tried to systematically close down all applications, services and processes to see if I could find an offender that caused the problem. I didn't and I have also checked that I have the latest drivers for the Realtek High Definition Audio (with EC). I also tried disabling all enhancements in the sound properties.
The only thing that helps is restarting. The sound is then perfect again right away and for a few days.
A good sample of this phenomenon can be found at http://www.netwv.net/Sound.mp3. Though the example comes from Skype, note that this is not a Skype related problem. But Skype is an important tool for me and this problem really completely disables my PC when it comes to using Skype and listening to other sound.
Any suggestions to solve this will be greatly appreciated!

>The only thing that helps is restarting. The sound is then perfect again right away and for a few days.
Hm thats strange seems its not a sound driver issues as you updated the sound driver as well.
Im not quite sure what could cause this clicking noise when using the Skype
Maybe you should to reinstall the Skype too.
If this will not help then you should clean the OS using the CCLeaner. This tool is for free and cleans the registry and OS.
But if you will still notice the sound issue then you should check if new OS installation would help.
For this you should use the Toshiba recovery disk!

HT1363 ipod making clicking noise and won't work

Ipod making clicking noise and won't work. Display see apple store. We live in a rural area so one is not close!

OK, I have the 30G w/video and it does that too. I've had it a year with no problems. My husband went on the treadmill with it a couple days ago and after a few songs it froze. I did the whole regime of toggling and pressing menu/select button, I put in on my Bose speaker/charger and it switched to very low battery warning. When I took it off to move to computer it said to connect to computer and use restore (in a few languages). I connected and it recognized it and I did restore and after a few minutes screen came up saying it could NOT restore. Then ipod was unrecognized and then ipod screen gave me the very sad little ipod picture with the support web site. At that point it began making the clicking nose - morris code does describe it but I was invisioning a little nano sprite in there with a chisel!!So, same as you, I go there and it's like a maze trying to find help!! Of course my warranty was up exactly 6 weeks ago!! I tried linking through all the stuff like finding a service provider in my area, contact the "knowledge base" etc., and I can't get anyone! Now what are we gonna do?

My 4th gen classic makes a continuous whirring and clicking noise and is not recognised on iTunes. Any ideas?

That could be a clear sign of a damaged hard disk. Can you try and force the iPod into Disk Mode and then connect it to iTunes so you can attempt a restore or even a low level reformat of the iPod's HD/file system.

MacBook Pro makes a noise and freezes after I open the lid and awake it from it's sleep after installing Mt. Lion. How do I fix this?

Eversince I installed Mt. Lion my Macbook Pro has been making a long "beeeeeeep" noise and freezes after I try to awake it from it's sleep by opening the lid. How do I fix this problem?

Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

Unfortunately, if the drive has failed, there isn't going to be an easy way to retrieve the data. It's possible that a data recovery service could help.

That is a hard drive clicking. It sounds kind of intermittent like it might be just the hard drive safety system parking the read head on the drive. Do you get a sustained click when you try to boot up? Have you tried the hard drive health test in the BIOS? Just tap F10 as you power up and go into the setup/bios and look for the hard drive self-test and run the long form version and see what you get.
Here is the Service Manual, which is always a good thing to have:

Regarding my iPad2 32 wifi - 3G.
During update of system iOS files today (approx 650mb), there popped up an error message in iTunes saying something like (error during update, and some more info i didnt see) before it left the screen. Now my ipad is lokced, only a black screen with the apple and a line under it. It is not possible to reboot or turn of the iPad. Any idea of what i have to do next?

Click on "Finder" (the first icon on the dock at the bottom, looks like a smiley face)
Select "Applications" on the left side of the Finder window
Scroll down to the bottom and then open up the "Utilities" folder
Up towards the top is "Disk Utility". Double click it to start it
On the left of its window is your hard disk, probably called "Macintosh HD". Single click that
Now you have some buttons to do a "Verify Disk" and a "Verify Disk Permissions".
Try both of them and report back

Hard drive making a scratching/clicking noise and Macbook playing up

Hi all,
I have had my Macbook for 2 years in March, and last night I discovered that my hard drive started making a scratching/whirring/clicking noise every now and then, also, it has been playing up really badly. It seems to be whenever I try to access certain files or applications, and if I do, my Macbook will completely freeze up and can take up to a minute or two to fix itself.
So, in a panic, today I bought an external hard drive (a 1TB My Book for Mac) to back up in fear that my hard drive would crash, but whenever I tell Time Machine to back up, the progress stops in the same spot (1.09GB out of 105GB) and after a few minutes gives me an error message saying that the hard drive cannot be read.
So, does anybody have any ideas as to what's going on? And if I take it into my nearest Mac repair shop (we don't have an Apple Store in my city) will they be able to fix it without losing too much of my data?

In this particular case, I would recommend that you get an inexpensive external enclosure for your current internal 2.5" drive. Then, pick up a new drive and do a fresh install of OS X on it. At this point, you may have enough damage that restoring from a TimeMachine backup (or a clone)may result in copying over corrupt data which might result in stability issues. Also, by limiting the use of your old drive (as in not trying to make a clone or TimeMachine back up)you'll reduce the chances of doing further damage. The fact that your machine still runs seems like there would be a good chance of recovering your data, but limiting the drives use is key. After you do the fresh install on the new drive, connect your old drive and grab your data from that. I would also suggest against actually doing a migration due to the potential for moving corrupt files from your old drive. At least this way you'll have a fresh new install of OS X.

Apps freeze during update in iOS 8.02

After updating to 8.02 I am having my ipad freeze during the app update process. I get the circle but the ring fails to show any download progress. If I touch the circle it returns to the update button? This on a new iPad air

Close the App Store app and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Hard drive noise and freezing

I got my new MacBookPro yesterday - OK it's a refurb! Turned it on and went through the setup stuff, which I thought took a huge amount of time give the speed of the thing. Got on the net and went to download firefox. It started fine and then I heard a noise like a clock ticking and the download stopped. The noise probably went on for 20 seconds and then stopped and the download started again for about 20 second and the noise started again. This time I got the "beach ball of doom" and that was it, everything stopped and all I could do was power of and start again. Started up and got exactly the same thing, when ever I tried to down load anything. Everything seems to works fine and all the apps appear to run until I write anything to the hard drive and then I get the noise and then everything just freezes and I have to kill the power. The noise is comming from the front to the left of the trackpad and I'm assuming that the hard drive is in there - if I put my ear on the case it sound like a drive spinning up and then just stopping. Any suggestion or do I have a jiggered hard drive? Thanks

I have had the same problem with my refurb. It kept freezing on me and not booting. The problem only got worse over time and it finally went back to Apple for repair on 7-14-06, however, good luck getting a repair. They confirmed it was a bad hard drive, but have been waiting for parts ever since. Hmmm... bad batch of drives? I called today and they said they would call me back tomorrow with an update. Good luck!
