IPod makes an odd noise when syncing to computer

Whenever I plug my iPod in, it makes a high pitched, quiet scratching noise. My computer is also very slow when it comes to the same thing? Could somebody explain what it, how to fix it, or if I can fix it? Because it takes a long time to load and I don't have that much time.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Let's get it recognized by iTunes first.
Is it showing up in My Computer when connected?
If it is...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If it isn't...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows

  • IPod makes a funny noise when skipping too quick..

    Anyone else getting a loud 'clicking' noise when you skip too fast thru tracks? It's like it loads a fraction of the track, then pauses while it gets the next one, but instead of pausing, just repeats the fraction of the track and makes a really really loud fast 'clicking' noise for 2 or 3 seconds and locks up while it's doing it. Never did that before the update. Makes me want to throw the phone out the window with that and the battery life!!

    I had the same problem last night minus the humming noise. A movie froze on my 5th gen ipod. It remained that way the rest of the night. I couldnt turn it off or, the screen remained on. I tried plugging it into the usb and still nothing. My computer wouldnt even read it. Luckily by the time i awoke this morning it had finally turned off. My guess is to dead battery. So i plug it into my comp and wait about 5 minutes and it finally was read by my computer...
    Doubt this will help you at all. Just wanted to share my similar experience.

  • Odd error when syncing

    HI,
    my iTouch is acting rather oddly.
    When syncing, iTunes takes an age to recognise the iPod, and when it does, it syncs and then stops with an error:
    'iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPod "iPod" because an error occurred while pushing data from the iPod'
    When does this message actually mean, and how can I stop it from happening? I've tried restoring and resetting the iPod. I've reinstalled iTunes. Nothing makes a difference.

    Try resetting the sync history. Launch Applications > iSync, select iSync menu > Preferences and click the Reset Sync History button.
    Hope this helps...

  • Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes

    Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes. Can I get old (full) contacts back?
    Bakstory: Laptop crashed, got restored, but without contacts. Mistakenly thought I could upload them from my iPod. I hit sync. Big mistake. When I disconnected, I saw my iPod has the measley 4 contacts I DID have on my laptop after the crash, instead of the hundreds I had on the iPod just minutes before.
    Note: There is nothing in the desktop Trashcan that says "contacts."
    I also tried to post this question in the iTunes section, but for some reason I can't seem to post there.
    Thanks for any help!
    (Man, everyone agrees this is a design flaw--in how you share info from iPod to CPU and can easily overwrite things you don't want to. They should fix that.)

    Yes, you can do that.
    On the computer that you only want to sync contacts & calendars to just unselect content like music, photos, apps, etc.
    You can only sync content like music with one computer at a time, content like contacts with as many as you like.
    Before you sync your contacts & calendar with the laptop, make sure you have one entry in address book & ical, select merge at the prompt, do not select replace.
    Make sure you disable auto sync when a ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.

  • Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

    Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
    I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

    I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design!  It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product.  There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad.  I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone  (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating.  I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad.  The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise  wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon.  Failsafe user experience?

  • My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

    My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

    It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert  the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it  a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

    Click here for information; if the computer beeps three or fewer times, remove and reinsert the computer's RAM. If it beeps four or more times, it needs to be repaired. If it's a G5, it will ignore RAM modules that aren't part of a matching pair.

  • Ipod makes a weird noise and stops working

    I have a 30 bg video ipod that I got this past christmas, and lately when I'm listening to it all of a sudden I will hear a screaching noise and then I wont hear anything. The ipod shows the song is playing but I cant hear it. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you know what I can do?
    Thanks for the help

    I hate to make the following suggestions (please choose one) but I afraid you have no other choice, as the main problem is your iPod cant manage to be recognized by a computer ,neither a Mac nor a PC for you do the Restore to fix up the hard disk problem. Your iPod is either having a HD failure or its needle hand get stuck at a certain point
    1. Send it for repairing
    2. If you do not want pay to the expensive service cost then Buy a new one
    3. Open the iPod and unplug and plug the battery
    4. Hold the iPod with your left palm and hit the sides and back (gentle please) of your iPod for few attempts until you see the iPod showing the Language Menu
    Please note if you try to do 3 or 4, your iPod will loss the warranty so only do it at last resort and at your own risk
    Please read the following before you do anything
