Grey screen and makes a beeping noise...

Hi,
My ipod nano seems to have went on the blink. It jusat comes up with a grey screen and when I try to do the toggle and two buttons at the same time it shuts down but then when it comes back on makes a beeping noise and reverts back to the grey screen.
Can anyone help please?!?

Sometimes this is a result of a bad USB cable.  Try plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged/faulty USB cable.
Have you tried other USB ports as well?

  • My macbook isn't powering up and makes a beeping noise in time with the sleep light

    Hi There I hope someone can help!!!
    I had disconnected the power cable and left the MacBook in sleep mode with the lid shut. When I now go to open my MacBook up, and wait for my system to resume from where I left off the screen doesn't on and the sleep light goes off. when I close the lid the sleep light goes back on as if it is in sleep mode but the same happens when I open it again, no power to the screen.
    I order to try get my MacBook working again I tried holding down the power button and switching it back on again but the MacBook now looks as if it is going to power up but the sleep light comes on for about 3 secs and then beeps, then every 4-5 secs constantly the MacBook beeps once in time with the sleep light (to note the sleep light is not following its usual fade on fade off rhythm).
    I have tried resetting the SMC using the shift command control option and power button (also this is the only way to stop the beeping and flashing) and when you try and switch on the MacBook if you just press the power button it just follows the same beep with sleep light routine, but if you hold the power button in then the sleep light then flashes quickly about 4-6 times and then starts to beep in time with the flash again.
    I will also add I have not reconfigured anything or added any RAM to my MacBook it is still on the standard (manufacturing) configuration as I have been looking about for anyone with similar issues and the main question back seems to be have you changed the RAM, I have also tried resetting teh RAM and the proble still persists.
    If someone can help it would be awesome!

  • Grey screen and cranking noise

    My screen froze and started making cranking noises.  I turned it off.  Now, when I turn it on, it shows the grey screen and makes a ton of noise.  Help!

    Is the loud noise coming from the right of the trackpad?  If so that may indicate a disk crash.  Check the following.
    Boot in Recovery Mode.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    If it boots in standard recovery mode then at least part of your internal disk is working.
    If it boots in network recovery mode then your internal disk may be damaged but the rest of you Mac may be healthy.
    If it boots in Recovery Mode or Network Recovery Mode:
    Run Disk Utility.  This will check if the disk and filesystem are healthy.
    Click on the upper left disk icon.
    (If there is no upper left icon then your disk has crashed.)
    Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”.
              If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced.
    Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD”.
    Verify Disk.
    If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk.
    If it shows errors in red then you may have found the problem.
    If it has not crashed you may want to backup or do an emergency data copy before proceeding.
    Post back with your results and for details on a possible data recovery.

  • Grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced 6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen

    grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced <6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen. Then tried the other way (sorry, I think  it's command alt delete? I don't remember) and it turned from grey (no apple symbol) to blue blank. Then third time, grey followed by blue with vertical lines, not blocky clear lines that you can see if you are close to it.
    Thanks for any help!

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

  • Macbook pro stuck on grey screen and making buzzing noise

    hi,
    Lately my mac has been playing up (1 year old), ever now and then it would make a funny buzzing noise, coming from the left side..  and i noticed it was running slower than usual. Im Running Mountain Lion and have 566GB of disk space left... after using it for about 5 minutes the buzzing noise would start and it would become unresposive with the spiral beach ball.  So i would have to hard restart it.  Now ever time i turn it on it gets to a grey screen and doesnt load further. eventually the sound starts again!! i have tried starting it in safe mode and verifying my disk in utilities where everything "seems to be ok" !!    someone please help!!!  

    Ethan997,
    define “an average disk”.
    Your question regarding fault is akin to asking “is it my fault or the car maker’s fault that my spark plugs no longer work?” — disks, like spark plugs, don’t last forever, and fault doesn’t come into it. Similarly, the fact that your disk (or spark plugs) worked yesterday and doesn’t work today is not a sudden “breakage” — by their nature, they have a finite, variable amount of time in which they do work. This is why (in the case of disks) making regular backups is important; when the disk stops working, you’ll have an easy way to recover from such a situation.
    That being said, if your MacBook Pro is still under warranty, you should be able to get a replacement disk from Apple. And even if it isn’t, you could  still try reformatting your current disk, to see if you can squeeze some more use out of it — but if the reformatted volume keeps needing to be repaired (and you have the patience to deal with recovering from the same situation again and again), that’s a sure sign that a new disk would be your best option.

  • Ipod with a grey screen and beeps

    I tired to change cases and when I tired to turn on the ipod, it had a grey screen and beeps twice every two minutes. I need help.

    Is the screen suck ON with the gray screen? And reset does not work?
    If so, I would disconnect from power and let it sit until it powers OFF by itself. Then try starting it or connecting it to power (if the battery is drained).

  • Blank grey screen and folder with question mark at power up

    When I turn on my computer, the screen goes grey and makes loud, unusual noises. There was no hint of a problem last time I booted up my macbook and I can think of nothing that would have caused any structural damage to the computer. An icon with a folder and a question mark inside of it appears after a minute or so of the computer being in this blank, grey state. If you could give me any information about what might be wrong with the computer I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Insert the 1st install disk and boot up while holding down the C key. Then when you get to the second screen for installation look in the menu bar under Utilities and run disk utility. Verify your drive and repair it if it needs it. You have something corrupted or your hard drive may have crashed.

    Simple way to make HDD free space is delete files you don't need anymore.
    Or get bigger drive and external HDD case, then:
    1) install bigger HDD in external drive case.
    2) connect external drive and format and mount it with Disk Utility.
    3) make clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!(source drive is internal HDD, target drive is external one).
    4) install external bigger drive into your Macbook Pro.
    In the cace if your're using Mac Pro:
    1) get bigger HDD and install it in drive bay of Mac Pro.
    2) format and mount it with Disk Utility.
    3) make clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!(source drive is old HDD, target drive is new one).
    4) Select boot drive to new bigger one.

  • Grey screen and weird click

    please can some one help, my macbook just hangs on its grey screen and has this weird click coming from the hard drive area, it just randomly happened, please can anyone offer me any assistance as i'm unable to get to an apple store! i telephoned apple but found them a little unhelpful! i tried rebooting from the install disk and nothing happens, just grey!
    if this cant be fixed would i still be able to access my hardrive from another mac using a firewire cable??

    Well if you hear a "clic" noise coming from the hard drive ares you could have a problem with the hard drive, when you insert the installation disc do you press letter "C" to boot from the cd?? conecting te hard drive to an other computer maybe will help you to recover all your data but not to fix it. How ever if you dont know how to fix it i will recomend you to take it to a store or techical support to get it fixed, or calling apple if you still have the warranty.

  • Brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise

    My brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise. Any suggestions? I have a lenovo X120e, purchased it around 2 months ago but due to moving across the country just started using it, not so happy so far but I would be happier if it would speed up a bit. Every click takes a while to register especially during browsing on the internet.

    Can you run the ThinkVantage Toolbox's HDD diagnostics?
    Alternatively, try HD Tune's error scan and check it's SMART page for warnings.

  • Grey screen and clicking sound at start up

    Lately when I start up my mac it takes about 6 tries to get it to start. The first few times before it works there is just a plain grey screen and there is a clicking noise being made. Any ideas on what is going on and how to fix this?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    I hope I am not being overly alarmist but I believe your hard disk is set to fail at any moment. Use the computer as little as possible. Get hold of an external firewire hard disk. Connect to the iMac and then boot the iMac from your OS X install disc. Install a fresh copy of Leopard onto the external drive. You can now use the iMac from the external drive only by setting the External drive as the boot volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk.
    Now in order of personal value transfer your documents and files across to the external drive. Once you have good backups you should then take a look at Disk Utility (Utilities folder) and see what SMART status the drive is being reported as.
