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?

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.

New Mac Pro makes 'clicking' sound when picked up / inverted
Hello,
I've recently purchased a new mac pro - 3.5GHz 6-core, 32GB ram, 512 GB, D700.
So far so good with this unit - it seems to be a solid machine - albeit one tiny question...... I generally use it in a shared office environment, so at the end of the day pack the unit into a flight ready peli case. When picking the unit up, it makes an internal clicking sound (especially when rotating the machine over it's axis).
I might be complaining about nothing here.....but with having to move the machine a couple times a day, with air travel with it planned soon, i'd like to be assured that some internal component's not going to fall off in transit.
Does anyone have a similar issue? Possibly there's no cause for concern.
Many thanks.
Morgan.lllaass suggestion makes sense.
The standard orientation is upright, and there is no strong reason to limit the end-play on the fan motor shaft. Even when placed horizontally, the fan would settle into one position when spinning and stay there. -
Ipod makes weird sounds when the hard drive runs
my ipod video is making weird click clak sound when the hard drive starts running. Is this normal?? HAs this happen to anyone before?
HEY!!!!!! I wasnt alone. Amazing. I had the same experience with my new Black 30 Gig iPod 5 Gen. It had a 3 second delay, made lots of HD clicking noises. And worse after a few hours of usage, forgot 240 of my 270 songs that had been transferred onto it. This was all happening on the first day! Wow.
Im sure glad to hear I was not alone. The sad thing is, Amazon is going to take 4 weeks to return my money to me. I will never again by a hardware product from Amazon.com. It simply takes too long. As far as Apple iPods are concerned, I believe they need alot of design renovation to put it frankly. Here are my complaints about the 5 Gen:
1. No Screen Brightness Controls. A major no no.
2. 3 Second Gaps between songs. What?
3. The trackpad on the iPod is far out of alignment. Not sure who supplied these, but the Mini was far superior to the 5 Gen trackpad. The traction was severly off kilter.
4. 284$ for an iPod that forgets 240 songs in a blink of an eye? I don't think so Apple. Get a grip. Woz was correct when he stated you all use crapy supplies for your parts.
I thought he was kidding?!
This was my first and by my choice, last iPod experience to be had with Apple. They are cute, but software/user level wise, they need alot of work.

IPod makes buzzing sound when charging
Hello,
When I connect my iPod touch 5g to either a wall charger or to my computer it makes a buzzing sound, like static. Sometimes it is brief other times it won't stop unless I shutdown the iPod. Why is this happening?Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

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. -
How do I turn off the "make a sound" feature with Find My Mac. I think my macbook was stolen and I don't want it to make a sound when it connects. Can turn the feature off somehow?

I've read some forums that say I have to overwrite it with a silent sound file but I do not understand how to do this.
You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send. -
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. -
TS1382 Is my iPod classic 160gb supposed to make clicking sounds?
Is my iPod classic 160gb supposed to make clicking sounds? I can hear the drive. I was just wondering. It's almost like its *******. And it lags slightly. If that's normal please tell me.
Sounds like you are just hearing the normal sounds that a hard drive makes. Because there is a drive in the Classic iPod, there is some lag and that is normal.
I have a 6th generation iPod Nano and when I go to play a song, it plays instantly but that iPod has a flash drive.
