Clicking sound when charging and playing

My ipod makes a really weird clicking sound when it's charging and playing music and videos either though the clicker isn't on.

I have tried just about everything very methodicly.
Got Tune Tech for iPod software and cleaned everything, tried the diagnostic mode to see if everything was OK. I was thinking on the lines of some sort of macanical/electronic failure (SDRAM) but everything was all right
So I plunged in and retrograded to firmware 1.2 and VOILA !
The instructions found on MacIntouch were very simple and easy to do.
My faithfull 5G iPod is back to good working order....for now !
No more freeze when charging.
I hope Apple will adress this firmware problem in the next update.

RMBP clicking sound when moved and running

This macbook pro retina is a few weeks old and i have not experienced any problems so far until today. I noticed that when I move the macbook slightly when it is on soft surface it makes a sort of sound which at first I thought was the fan hitting something, a quick high pitch click. It is like the sound when you move a laptop when its spining a cd. Its almost like the sound a small bell makes. The noise only happens when its awake and open, if I close the screen I can't seem to hear it. The point when it makes the noise is when it moves slightly from being flat to the ground, thats why I can only hear it when its on my lap or on something the rocks. Also something i just realised is that it will not make the sound if I move it around when holding it while the it is running and open, this makes me think that it has something to do with it being pushed together from the bottom. It sounds as if it is coming from the air vents at the bottom of the screen which once again makes me think it has something to do with the fan. Could you reply on what you think I should do? Its a 15 inch screen by the way.
Thanks

Normally, a clicking sound would be an indication of a bad HD or if the Superdrive is trying to read a damage disc. Personally, since its a week-old computer, I'd take a one hour drive than taking the chance of the HD failing after the warranty expired. You can try calling Apple as well (1800APPL). You should still have FREE phone support.

Bad Clicking Sound when Copying and Pasting Tracks

This is something that I can't figure out but use fairly frequently so I need a solution...
Let's say I want to record a guitar part that is going to repeated throughout the whole song. I will record the track for a couple measures and copy and paste that track for as long as I want it to repeat. The problem is that during playback in the transition between the copied tracks there will be a harsh "clicking" sound on all the copied tracks. It usually does it at the very beginning of the song too when that part comes in for the first time. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to loop the regions instead of copying?
And make sure to cut the regions at a place where there is a complete silence.

Loud clicking sound when trying to play a DVD

HP Pavilion Ultimate d4995t desktop PC with Realteck High Definition Audio. Vista Premium O/S. I play my sound via my HDMI cable to the speakers in my monitor. When I attempt to play a DVD in the DVD drive, I get a loud clicking noise with no sound from the DVD. This only happens to DVD's. CDs play sound without a problem. If I copy the same DVD files to the hard drive, I can play it from the hard drive and sound works. If I plug in speakers to the audio-out and disable the HDMI output, I can play the DVD in the DVD drive and the sound plays through those speakers without the noise. I have ran Microsoft sound tool without success. Updated all the sound drivers. I reloaded Vista, that corrected the problem. But as time went on the problem came back. I suspect the problem was caused by an Microsoft update. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
Yes, it happens after installing Service Pack for Vista through Windows Update.
Click Start->'Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback -> Select Realtek HDMI Output, click Properties. Click Advanced Tab above,
Unclick 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device', click Apply/Ok.
Check if the issue is resolved, if not, select HDMI Output on Sound Window, click Properties, click Enhancements tab, check the option 'Disable all sound effects', click Apply/Ok.
Thank You.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

Hi katesvca,
I too have an iPad smart cover, and all that clicking sound is is basically the standard lock sound for iOS. The Smart cover is equipped with magnets inside, and the iPad is also equipped with magnets, and when those magnets are closed together the iPad goes to sleep.
I hope this answers your question.

Ipod makes clicking sound when turning on and tells me to go to supposrt

My older Ipod makes a clicking sound when I turn it on and tells me to go to the support website. Any ideas what the problem is? I don't know what generation it is or what ISO what ever that is, I use. It was bought for my son many years ago and he has moved on to the newer ones,lol. I do know it is bulkly and heavy,

It probably needs service as it's indicative of a hard drive problem.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?

My z10 led flashing red when charging and even at battery full it blinks red. no green at any note..

My z10 led flashing red when charging and even at battery full it blinks red. no green at any notification. But at below 10% charging level it blinks with a combination of red and green. Please send me any settings to be changed if.. at full charged no green light is blinking.. how many colours does z10 led have..and when it works and how to make those settings..or was my led not working fine? I am worried so much..plz help me

Your LED is fine, on the Z10 there is not "network signal available" green LED, as you're accustomed to from the legacy devices. At reaching 10%, the LED will blink orange.
Red for message or applicaiton notifications.
if you want to edit and create specific LED color combination, see the third party apps such as BeBuzz or Hub++

Click sound when opening/closing cover

I've had the ipad 2 and Apple cover for 2 months. When I first got it, there was a click sound when opening or closing the cover. There is no sound anymore when opening/closing. Did I change a setting somehow which caused this?

On the new iPad, the switch next to the volume rocker has two functions, depending on how you have it set in 'Settings.' There's a section in General called Use Side Switch to:. You can either use it to Lock Rotation or Mute. When it is set to Lock Rotation and the switch is pushed to the left, yes, the rotation is locked, but when it is set to Mute, and the switch is pushed to the left, all sounds are muted, including the sound for when closing the cover.

HT4528 Clicking sound when making a phone call

Clicking sound when making phone call

I had this happen as well. Restarting my MacBook Pro (8,2) made it go away. At other times it seemed to appear when calling some phones (my wife's iPhone 4 and my son's Samsung phone) but not others (my land line), but this was not consistent. My phone is an iPhone 5. I'm hoping the iOS update due tomorrow will fix this.

MacBook Pro 2012 hinge problem with single click sound when i open it

when i go to sleep and shut my macbook off and close the screen next morning i open my screen and i hear a single click noise??
im paranoid ita a brand new macbook its not a hard drive fail it just a single click sound when i open it to turn on
and heres a video of the hinge is this is whats causing the single click sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUt2p783nA

I have this problem too with my Mid-2012 MBP non-retina. The screen would click once, after being left for a long time, and would be fine after that, until you close it and re-open it again after a long time. It is especially loud in the morning so I think it is temperature dependent. Happened about 3 months after buying. I took it to Apple. First time they replaced the entire screen. They had to since that is the only way to replace the hinge. When I got it back, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. Second time they just tightened the screws securing the display with the unibody. When I got it back the second time, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. The third time they replaced the entire screen AGAIN! When I got it back, the problem was fixed for 2 days, then the screen started clicking again so I'm back to square one. I'm wondering whether I should take it to Apple the forth time, but then again, they've already replaced the screen twice which didn't work so I'm not sure what more they can do. It's either this is normal, which implies the screen hinge is really badly designed or the clicking has nothing to do with the screen at all.

Front of iPhone4 makes clicking sound when I press it? Can it be fixed?

The screen of my iPhone 4 has started making a clicking sound when I press on the front during normal use. Can this be fixed easily?

Since you are still in the warranty period, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it checked. The clicks are not loud, but should be audible.
Ciao.

My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app. I can not make phone calls.

I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking. I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left. I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking, Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app. The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything. Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed
