Ipod HD makes cracking noises when turning..

My HD makes cracking noises when I try to search a song, or photo..
I have him for 3 weeks now, and he didn't do it before. It just sounds like normal hard-drive sounds my old computer makes, but in my opinion it's not normal.
anyone experience with this?

I had that problem too before.
I waited for 2 days and it stopped.
My friends banged it on the floor and it was perfect (exepet for a small dent.)

    my ipod isnt turning on but it still makes a noise when i plug it into the charger can anyone help me?

    Hey there cameronw99,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod Touch screen, as it stays black but it makes the connection tone when you plug in the USB cable. Use these steps to resolve the issue with the iPod from the following article:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    chttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else.  Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

  • Is there a way to set up a dial tone or a way for someone who is hard of hearing to have the phone set up to make a noise when I hold it up to my ear?

    Is there a way to set up an dial tone or set the phone up to make a noise when I hold it up to my ear when i use it

    I'm also not sure what you want to accomplish by this. Until you hit the "call" button, the phone is not 'off hook' like a traditional landline would be. There is no such thing as a dial tone on any cell phone. The dial tone was simply a carrier signal from the central office that prepared that end to listen for the pulses (later tones) generated when you dialed.

  • My thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop

    my thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop. It sounds like an electronic noise which doesn't come through the speakers. Any advice how to eliminate this?

    Could be a poor ground.  Try plugging the monitor directly into the wall (no power strip) and see what happens.

  • Ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it doesn't respond to button presses on the touch screen.

    ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it does not respond to button presses on the touch screen. He also has just a white screen instead of the desktop display. Tried to rearrange the screen from another Ipod nano, but nothing came of it - all the same ... What should I do?

    Hi Rc_Drifter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPod nano. Restoring the device may resolve the backlight issue as well.  
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting

    Display shows a white screen
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    I hope this information helps ....

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • Two iMac's 24 inch make soft rattling-kind-of noise when turned OFF !?

    Apple-helpdesk Holland has no records of this "complain":
    Me and my colleague have bought a new iMac 24 inch two months ago.
    When our Mac's are turned OFF they keep making a very soft continuously rattling-kind-of noise, even after a couple of hours being turned OFF.
    The sound is NOT annoying, we just want to know if its normal and our Mac's won't quit working in a few months because of a defect related to this noise.
    At the Appledealer there's too much noise in the shop to notice this sound.
    My Mac (CTO 2GB) was shipped in from the East and my colleague bought hers three weeks later directly in the Apple-store.
    Needless to say; we live in different houses. Neither of us have connected devices to our Mac's.(only the internetkabel is connected)
    When we pull the plug out of the socket, the sound dissapears.
    I think that it would be too much of a coincidence that we both have the exact same defect in our Mac, so probably there are other iMac 24 inch owners with good hearing who can confirm this very soft continuously rattling-kind-of noise when de Mac is turned OFF.
    You really have to put your ear close to the top-ventilationsplit on the backside to hear this sound.
    Please let me know if you hear this very soft continuously rattling-kind-of noise aswell !
    Thanks a lot!

    This is the PPC G5 iMac forum, you need to post to the intel forum HERE.
    Good luck,

  • HT3798 160 Gig Ipod classic quit working and makes a noise when i try to reset it

    has anyone seen this error, ipod classic makes a grinding noise and a red warning cicle appears.  how do i restore my ipod to work properly?

    Unfortunately, if the "grinding noise" is coming from the iPod itself (not over the headphones), the iPod's hard drive has probably become faulty.  You can try doing a Restore using iTunes
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    but if it does not get passed that "red warning circle," the iPod will not appear in iTunes.  You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
    If it goes into Disk Mode, try connecting it to the computer and running iTunes.

  • IPhone home button makes cracking noise

    Recently I got my iPhone replaced at an apple store so I'm assuming the phone is refurbished. The problem is when I touch the home button it makes a light cracking noise. It doesn't make it when I press it down, only when I tap it. Will the problem persist? I don't want to have to go back to the Genius Bar as it involves quite a long journey.

    I had the same problem. Read elsewhere that a tech at the Genius Bar fixed it in 1 or 2 minutes. So I thought about what they might have done, whiat was probably causing it, and fixed it myself:
    Fixed mine this way: Turn the phone sideways and flick the home button with your finger over and over. (Hold your pointing finger with your thumb, then let go and let the fingernail *hit* the button.) Start lightly. Inrease the power of the flicks until the sound disappears. Rotate the phone when doing it if needed.
    I think this worked because something was stuck behind the button, and flicking either crushed or dislodged the tiny piece of grit.
