IPod causes PC speaker noise

Brand new 5 gen. When I connect the iPod to my PC, the iPod's hard drive causes a high pitched noise on my PC speakers. As the hard drive spins up, the pitch goes higher, as it spins down, the pitch goes lower. You get the idea. The volume isn't particularly loud, but it is certainly noticable.
Adjusting the volume via the Windows Volume control or the iTunes volume control does not have any effect. I have to physically turn down the speaker volume knob on the speakers themselves to turn it down.
How can I get this to go away? Any ideas?

OK
Solved the problem....I noticed that the ipod was appearing in the device manager but was not being initialised in IPOD updater or Itunes.
Searched knowledge base for similar ....
"iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes"
and basically followed the instructions...all is now up to date and working as before....phew..!
took me a while to get there though...hope this is of some help to others
regards

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

-iPod touch Deleted Photo Recovery Tips You Should Know
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

Can't update ipod cause playlist being updated do not exist

I installed my ipod software. Great! Easy to use. Then my computer crashed for other reasons. I got a new computer, installed again, and when I try to update my iPod, iTunes tells me they can't update my songs because the playlists I am updating (I did create a couple on the old computer) are gone.
Now I can't update my iPod cause I got a new computer? HELP!

As long as you still have a backup of the music (on the new computer prefably) try restoring your Nano with Ipod updater. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

I want to know what happened to my ipod cause for exemple, when I turn on sometimes all the screen appears with lines and everything look like lines and I have to turn off again..

I want to know what happened to my ipod, cause after a while that it was off when I want to run in on it gets lines, like if that would be broken and I have to turn off again..

What generation is your iPod? My sister's 2g/3g(I'm not sure which) was doing something similar, but it would put a different graphic on the screen every time. We took it in to the apple store and they didn't determine what it was. One thing they said to try was to restore it and gradually add content on to see if it's an app or something loaded on it. If that doesn't work then they said it's probably something in the software or firmware. They gave her the option of getting one exactly like the one she had or getting the new one like I have. She ended up getting the new one on sale at target.

Flex 2-14 speaker noise, driver problem ?

hi all,
recently bought flex-2 14 then noticed that the speaker is making noise like hisss, or static noise,
that happen when playing sound, even when the speaker is set to mute or plugging in a headphone,
after the sound had played, the noise gone. the noise came back again when playing another sound,
the noise can be heard clearly when the speakers in line/ parallel with the ears,
what really bothers me is when I mute the speaker/ plug a headphone, the noise is there,
already tried newest driver from realtek, but no luck.

No proper fix. Workaround is to uninstall the Realtek driver and use the generic Windows driver.

Hello only1ant,
I found an article with some steps you can take if you remember the passcode on your iPod touch:

Ipod causing PC to reboot

I have been having trouble with my 20G ipod causing my PC to restart. First noted something funny when I would start to play a song on the iPod and then the song would immediately cut out and the ipod would turn off. This has happened repeatedly despite battery not being drained. I have also noted that when I plugged my ipod into the USB on my PC that it caused the computer to reboot and caused a "serious error". Since first problems developed I have updated to iTunes 5.0 (although this too was difficult but eventually successful when I turned off antivirus software and removed old versions of iTunes). I have verified that the iPod firmware is up to date. Any ideas as to a cause for this and a fix? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Of note is that I have used the iPod on my 2 different computers at times .... can this cause a problem?

I have the same problem, when I connect my iPod to my pc it reboots (actually crashes). After the pc is rebooted the iPod can sync with iTunses. I can repair the problem temporarely but it keeps coming back:
- solution 1: run chkdsk on the iPod hard drive letter from windows explorer, it finds and corrects an error and the problem dissappears for some days
- solution 2: run the iPod Updater (2005-06-26), this completely formats the iPod harddrive I think, since afterwards it has to put al my music back on it, the problem dissappears for several weeks with this
I'm getting nuts about this problem, I don't think it is good for my pc to crash every time I connect my iPod. Didn't find any help on the support section of the apple site.

i bought a ipod touch 4th generation with cracked screen and i finally got it to turn on itunes and the ipod was making charging noises but the screen was just white i tryed updating it to ios 5.1.1 bit did nothink so i was wondering how to fix this white screen i tryed a hard reboot ( whitch i heard might work ) but did nothink if there is no sulution to fixing this is it worth buying a new screen ? thaanks

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If yu can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and service is required.

I have purchased a Bose portable speaker for my ipod touch, the ipod finds the speaker and the music begins to play but as soon as start to walk away from the speaker the music stops, as I walk back next to speaker it starts again, i dont know why

I have purchased a Bose portable speaker to connect to my ipod touch, the ipod finds the speaker ok and the music plays whilst the ipod is next to it but once I start to walk away from the speaker the music stops, if i walk back towards the speaker the music starts again, you are suppoed to be able to walk around with ipod in your hand and play the music, change tracks etc. I bought the Bose speaker as someone I know already has one and showed me theres and how it worked, he can walk away from the speaker with his ipod touch no problem, so I dont know why mine wont, same speaker, same ipod, does anyone know
any bluetooth issues, can bluetooth go wrong, can you get it repaired ????? I'm baffled. Thanks

How far away are you walking? Bluetooth has a range of 10 metres - less if there are walls and other obstacles in the way.

Ipod touch 5g speaker

hey about four days ago my speaker started bad fuzziness to it i talked to an apple dev and he said take it to apple they will swap it but i dropped it in water like three months ago im afraid they will blame it on that i know that is not what caused it cause the speaker was fine until 4-7 days ago my question is will apple swap it? im 100% sure its not the water im 50% no damage was caused by water

Accidental damage like damage from water is only covered by the optional, paid AppleCare+ extended warranty. In that case Apple will exchange it for $29.Otherwise Apple will exchange it for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs
You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:
Service Answer Center - iPod

First Whine or speaker noise?

My MBP week 11 is now almost two month old. No noise no problems except battery exchange and some heat. While processing a movie with toast a very loud noise started from the middle of the key board. Sounded like a jet taking off. Shut down the machine and when I restarted the noise was still there but very quiet and lasted about one minute and then when away and has not retrun.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE THE FAMOUS WHINE OR A SPEAKER NOISE?
Thanks
Grump

Its not the whine, that only occurs when the
processor is idling, and from what I can make out,
the processor would certainly not be idling with what
you were doing! It wont be the speaker noise, because
the speakers are located in the grills at both sides
of the keyboard, not underneath it. The noise you are
describing is probably just the fans running at full
capacity to cool your macbook pro down during some
particularly processor intensive work, and as such
nothing to worry about.
Thanks for the reply. The machine has been very quiet except this one time
Hope thats the last ime. Again thanks!
Grump

6120c speaker noise problem

I have puchased Nokia 6120c a month before. It work fine up to my requirement and expectation.
Since last some days, it created noise in the front size speaker and sometimes mutes while listening to some caller. But when I make the volume down, it works fine.
I will be grateful if you please guide me how can be get rid of this inconvenience of speaker noise problem, and suggest me the solution.

Which HD do you have?
1. There is a constant noise from it and by
monitoring the fan sensors it have concluded that
they are not to blame. Altough it sounds like a fan
that is constantly on because it sounds like air
flowing inside the computer. As far as i can tell the
noise seems to be most apparent under the trackpad.
This noise is on from the moment i turn on the
machine until i shut.
It might just be the sound of the hard drive spinning. They don't appear to ever spin down. Especially the 7200 one like I have.
2. I belive or am imagining to my self that the
harddrive is becoming louder when writing/reading
activity.
It not just your imagination runnin away with you. On occasions mine makes some clicks, etc. when reading or writing.
So from these two issues i tought it migh have been
the harddrive that had some fault on it, but i cant
seem to find any, the S.M.A.R.T. status is verified
and there is never any sounds which might suggest bad
sectors on it.
I think it just may be "normal" for these drives.
3. Every 2-3 secconds there is a faint noise from the
PowerBook and i belive that this might have something
to do with the Power as when it is not pluged into
the mains there is no sound. It sounds like a very
quite heartbeat monitor.
No clue what that is.

I've opened itunes and none of my songs or albums are there in my library. I'm afraid to plug in my ipod cause i may lose all my music.

I've lost everything in my itunes library. No of my albums i've purchased over the years are there. I'm afraid to plug in my ipod cause I could lose all my songs on it? Very frustrated and I don't know what happened to my itunes Library?? Help?

Ok, so, what I had done before I saw your response is follow the prompts to activate "match" on this computer... So when I restarted my computer just now, I see a copy of what is on my iphone, which brings up another question that has had me confused for so long.. Between the cloud and match, shouldnt whatever I have on my computer be automatically put onto my iphone? As this does not happen. I think you have to attach the iphone to the computer in order to update, but whenever I do that, it doesnt do this. So, I dont have anything I did for bascially all of 2013 which is a lot... I never worried too much about it as I listen to most of my music from the computer and from my ipod, and dont worry about the music on my iphone. But I am so confused about how to reconcile all my songs, albums, playlists on all my devices..
Another thing that seems to be the root of all things annoying is regarding my apple id.. When I first chose my user name back in the day, it was simple.. You chose what you wanted.. Recently, when I wanted to try to get into this "cloud" thing, I was asked to choose another apple id that was in the format of an e-mail address. Which has caused so much confusion for me of which I can not figure out.. I have things purchased on both accounts and just wish I could have all my purchases together on all my devices..
I have not tried your suggestion yet, but will, if that is still your suggestion after all this additional information..
Thank you in advance for all your help...
