IPod problems, seems to be with HDD...

Recently my iPod has been freezing for seconds during songs. During this time, I can hear the hard drive spinning and it makes clicking noises. When I connect it to the computer, ususally it freezes any program that can connect with the iPod- iTunes, iPod Updater, and Windows Explorer if I click the "Removable Disk" icon in My Computer (it doesn't even show up as "Dan's iPod" as it should, just as "Removable Disk"). During this time, I also hear rotation and clicking noises coming from the iPod. On a few occasions, I was able to get the iPod to connect properly and restored the iPod as suggested by the support website. This seemed to resolve the issue for about a week, but it has returned. At this point, I seem to be looking at service on the iPod, but on the service website there is no option to select for the problem that I am having. I also see nothing under troubleshooting as to what to do with a HDD that makes clicking noises whenever the iPod is used. So, I am wondering if there is anything else I can do on my end to try to resolve this problem, or at least what to do on the repair website to get some service for my iPod.

mines doing exactly the same, i need major help before the warranty runs out so if you find a solution plz let me know im getting desperate.

    In 2014, Since I upgraded my OS to Win 7, every time I update Acrobat X Standard I get and error.  The problem seems to be with permissions for folders is there a permanent fix??

    Is there any indication of the specific folder you are having problems with. Are you logged in as the administrator (or the same as when you installed) and have anti-virus disabled during the update? You might also try the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.

  • Need Help With Restoring My Ipod, Problem seems Unique, please help.

    Hi, I have a mini as most of you others do as well. I will outline all the problems and the solutions I have taken to solve these problems, yet they have all failed.
    1) When trying to turn my IPOD on I run across the Folder with the Exclamation Point
    SOLUTIONS: I have tried to reset, and change the format of the drive, both have failed to solve the problem. When I try to connect the ipod to the computer (in disk mode and out of disk mode) it says The Ipod is corrupt it may need to be restored. So I restore the IPOD and it says Disconnect it and replug it into a power source (which I interpret as the wall charger). After I disconnect it (I have tried just disconnecting it when the menu restarts to the APPLE and disconnecting it by manually selecting the IPOD from the source list to disconnect after waiting) and plugging it into the wall charger I get the folder with the exclamation point again. It seems to be a cycle, and I don't know how to break it. If it is a faulty harddrive I guess I will try to replace it using the method outlined in other posts, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Thank you.

    That's the faulty drive/OS indicator.
    If restoring the iPod from iTunes doesn't work, it's likely that the drive has died and needs to be replaced.
    It's a fairly easy task with the proper tools.

  • Ipod 7th gen compatability probs with polar wearlink heart monitor

    My new ipod nano seems to link with my polar wearlink heart monitor, but does not dispay the heart rate. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for responding.  The HR monitor is new and does link to the Nano properly.  With further fiddling I have now worked out how to operate - I didn't realise that you need to commence a workout to get the HR reading displayed - I assumed it would do that automatically once recognised and linked.  All OK now, thanks again.

  • I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

    I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

    I think that is happening is that the microphone is on during this recording.  If you play the music through the iPhone speakers, it will record this sound, albeit at very poor quality.  If you say anything (or laugh uproariously as I did while watching the app in action, then that, too, get recorded.
    I am still looking for the solution we all want, which is to save the audio in reasonable quality.
    Anyone out there with some ideas?
    Cheers,

  • My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

    Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
    Try:
    Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
    Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

  • Problem seems to be in computer, sometimes iPod can't be written to, etc.

    This is an ongoing saga. When I plug my iPod into the front USB port of my G5 and try to drag anything new into it I am told that it cannot be read from or written to. If I plug into the back USB port it let's me add a few songs then I get the same message, then it lets me add a few songs and I get the message again. If I plug into the USB hub, then it allows me to add songs, but it's incredibly slow and drains the power from my iPod.
    I have ruled out the iPod itself as the source of the problem. It's already been replaced once. I took the new one into a Mac dealer, they restored it and everything worked perfectly. I took it home and still had all the same problems. It seems to work fine on my Macbook.
    So the problem seems to actually lie in the computer, but I don't know where. I've run Disk Utilities and Norton (several times) but, despite fixing the errors that were found, it made no difference. There is nothing useful posted in the iPod support section of this site, but I'm not sure where else to look.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I think you're going to find that it's not your computer. I'm having the same issue with iPod on a PC. Seems to have cropped up with iTunes 7 - but that could be coincidence. In my case, I've narrowed it down to an issue of quantity. If I try to update more than (and this number is approximate, because it varies) 50 songs at once, it will lock up - and the only thing I can do is restore. I also noticed that this started when my library got up over 9000 (i'm at 10,500 now) so, I only have about 6GB left, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. What I have done up to this point is run the onboard iPod diagnostics (including the FULL hard drive scan which takes forEVER - start it, make sure you're plugged into power and go to bed), restored and SO far, things seem to be ok, but I've now noticed some weird skipping in some of my songs today, so I may have spoken too soon. I use my iPod quite a bit both as a data transport and, of course, audio player. But I wonder what the MTBF is on these little drives. They may just not last that long as much as they have to spin up and seem to warm up with repeated use.
    Just some thoughts...

  • My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station.....3 other apple devices work with no such problem...i.e nano ,classic and 2x separate iphones, with no problems .I have been given a 2nd ipod touch replacement, it plays with interference

    ipod problems
    My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station....3 other apple devices work with no such problems, i.e a nano. a classic and 2 separate iphones    so the problem doesn't seem to be the docking station...I have been given 2 reolacement ipods and the sound persists....it is obviously the connection.....as before downloading any data on the new ipod I docked it and the noise was present ....mairiskye....

    - Is it a 4G iPod? That model sometimes mates poorly with dock because the configuration of the iPod by the dock connector is different that other devices. Thus, make sure it is fulld/seated in the dock.
    - Have you brought the iPod and dock to the Genius at the an Apple store.

Everything works fine for 3 to 5 days in a row until the nightmare returns.I sent the board back to the store for rma but they didnt find anythin wrong.
    The only possitive is that i havent had any  "freezing" experience inside the windows for  a long time now.My pc works flawlessly with one hd so im willing to keep it till summer.

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.
