Ipod was freezing now it sounds like the HD is racing

hi, i have a 30gb click wheel ipod and have had nothing but problems. the ipod was freezing constantly and had slow responses to the click wheel. now, the ipod is making a continuous noise, similar to a vhs tape being rewinded. i am assuming it is the hard drive. i tried the 5 steps but the ipod wont reset,,,etc. at times the ipod will play music, but it will be the first song and i have no controls,,,when i hook it up to the firewire itunes doesnt recognize the player,,,what do i do at this point
30gb click wheel Windows ME

did this happen after downloading the 1-10-2006 update?

Fan was making a whirring sound and now it sounds like the fan isn't turning at all? Please help!

I've had this whirring noise on the fan for a couple of weeks, I've vacumed it as best I can without opening my imac up but the noise didnt stop (like a whirring clicking noise with the fan, like it was stuck on something). I've booked it in to be looked at in the Apple store on Monday (soonest appointment avaliable), but I've just switched it on and the fan clicked a couple of times and then went quiet? Am I safe to use my mac? WIll it overheat? I'm scared to use it because the fan doesnt sound like its running at all now ? I've got 5 photo sessions and a wedding to edit and I may cry! Any help or suggestions would be AMAZING! Thanks in advance!
Ps these are my mac details

Pps I'm a bit rubbish with tecnical things so sorry if this is something obvious!

Do 2-3 SMC resets and see if this takes care of the problem. If it does not then book an appointment with your local Apple Store to have it looked at by a Genius.
Instructions for the SMC reset are in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603

When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down. First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it. After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again. As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

Reset it by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.

Your question is unclear... On which iDevice do you wish to restore the software...

From my limited knowledge the iPod Nano has no support for iCloud or wireless transfers- therefore the only means of downloading songs is by hooking it up to the computer by the white cable.

Desktop has a noise that sounds like the fan

I turned on my IMAC desktop and there is a noise that sounds like the fan. The computer is very quiet till now. What should I do?

iStat Pro does not quite work "as always" with newer systems.
For one thing, it may report inaccurate temperatures (& possibly fan speeds), depending on the Mac model it is running on. (For instance, on my system, it tells me the ambient temperature is around 54° F in a room that is actually about 77°.)
The problem is basically that iStat Pro gets temperature & fan speed info by querying the SMC subsystem. Apple has apparently changed the query/response protocols or the SMC hardware itself, so this no longer works as the utility expects.
And Banjo is not as "safe" and digs too deep with core kexts.
Banjo is the new name for the same company that developed iStat Pro & the original & newer iStat Menus programs. My guess is that the latest version of iStat Menus is just as safe to use as the earlier ones.
However, I won't use it for the same reason I won't use MenuMeters: both rely on MenuCracker, a hack to work around Apple's restriction of menu extras to ones Apple develops & distributes as part of the OS itself. Developers are specifically told to use 'Status Items' for their menu bar add-ons, which offer some but not all of the same functionality as menu extras, & do not risk destabilizing the OS or compromising its security.

My podcasts download from laptop iTunes but play back sounds like the chipmunks!

I download podcasts to my laptop for use on iPhone, iPod and shuffle (different places, different situations). Only problem is that the playback on the iPhone is so speeded up, it sounds like the chipmunks! Any suggestions?

This is correct and it's got to be the stupidest tiny icon anyone could sabotage a nice podcast with - but thanks for nothing (i.e. useless crud). But at least iPhone folks help one another out. Thanks,

My ipod always freezes now after i restored it ?

If you have the problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Volume up button sounds like the camera is going off

When I press my volume up button it sounds like the camera is going off but no pictures are being taken. Any idea why this happens?
Thanks!

Hello there, JDHMB.
You might want to close out all apps first and foremost:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then it might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should that not resolve the issue.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the sound is still being generated by the phone while using volume controls, you may want to try restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

HT1349 My Ipod was stolen how do i get the serial number?

My IPOD was stolen how do I get the serial number?

The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two, device connectivity and device sync. run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

My recorded signal is not sounding like the signal I am monitoring.

My recorded guitar is not sounding like the signal I am monitoring. It sounds very good when recording, but lacks energy and detail when it is played back. If I am using input/direct monitoring am I also bypassing the Analog to Digital converters? Could this explain the difference in sound quality?
Would it be the same to monitor a signal directly out of the sound card and to monitor "through" Logic?
My sound card is a Presouns Firepod.

No.

Consult the manual of that device, to see if you can learn from where in the signal chain it gets your direct monitoring from --- PRE conversion or POST conversion... My bet is that it is pre conversion.

HD videos from Sony NEX-3 sound like the Chipmunks

My Sony NEX-3 720p MP4 videos sound like the Chipmunks. Video frame rate appears ok but the sound is way too fast. The files play nicely e.g. in Preview though.
iMovie imports the files nicely, using the internal SD reader in my iMac. However, the sound is out of sync in the imported files. From the sound of it, it seems the audio runs at least at 2x the speed.
Currently I use Handbrake for converting the camera clips into 25 fps m4v and then importing these into iMovie but it is a pain.

Can you tell me how you imported the video from your NEX-3 to iMovie? When I try, the camera automatically opens iPhoto and imports it there. If I open iMovie, all of the selctions are grayed-out so I can't import them. I've tried getting the video straight from the camera but can't seem to do that either. Can you help?
