Itouch screen + annoying sound

so i left me itouch 4 charging over night and woke up to a constant annoying beeping sound, i unplugged it and the beeping stopped but the screen keeps switching from the apple logo to the lock screen. so then i tried plugging it back in and the beeping sound started again. the sounds start whenever i plug it in to the computer and/or charger and it won't stop switching between the two screens. i tried resetting and restoring it. WHAT DO I DO?

Unplug the iPod touch from the computer. Hold the Sleep/Wake buttons down for at least 30 seconds. Then hold the Home button down when plugging it back into the computer (with iTunes open). Then see if you can restore.

  • Help ! Screen Capture sound every 30 seconds

    Hi all I need help! Last week in the middle of my work day nothing special, the system started playing the camera shutter / screen capture. I started timing between the shutter, every 30 seconds, very annoying - the camera shutter sound - same as the shift-4 screen capture sound and same as the sound that occurs when you press the back button in terminal. I have a 15 inch mac book pro. 2009 model.
    I wondered whether someone had installed a hidden shell script or apple script program and is capturing my screen and maybe sending it over the net.
    I have checked activity monitor and did not notice any programs running like "screencapture" or anything else like that. I have also turned hidden files visable on, but i can't find any screen capture directory or files: .jpg, .pdf, .png files I should be seeing lots of them for every 30 seconds per capture. Back to terminal here is my dump from ps ax command:

    Please any suggestions??? as you can imagine im pulling my hair out. Please any ideas before i have to reinstall everything again i just finished a re-install. My last system had the Isight camera turning and flashing randomly now this...am i a victim of mac hacking???
    Help!!! Pls.

    Make sure the sound is coming from your speakers and not from your hard drive, by muting the speakers. If the sound continues, it may be your hard drive's heads parking (which shouldn't happen every 30 seconds either, but that's a very different problem). If it doesn't continue and is therefore exactly what you think it is, I'm as puzzled as you are.

  • My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • ITunes 8 annoying sound

    Does anyone know if and how you can turn off that annoying sound that plays whenever you do anything on itunes 8? If there isn't any way. PLEASE MAKE ONE APPLE! For the sanity of every iTunes lover. Having said that, best iTunes ever. Genius is absolutly amazing!

    Hmm. I have Vista 64 Home Premium SP1. I'll post more detailed info on my system after work. But for now..
    *The box is home built with an OEM version Vista 64 Home Premium installed
    *UAC is on
    *Windows Firewall is on (network related.. maybe?)
    *Speech recognition is on (I don't use a screen reader but I do use speech recognition. Could it have activated some element of the new screen reader accessibility stuff???)
    I can't find any default 'chime' sound in Windows that sounds the same. It is unique to iTunes.
    Any other ideas?

  • ITouch screen no longer responding

    Help! All of a sudden my iTouch screen has stopped responding. I have reset software, reinstalled, removed from case and removed protective screen all to no avail. Is it time to fear the worse?

    Sounds like your screen digitizer needs to be replaced. If it's out of warranty, look into a third-party repair service. Some have flat-rates for that.

  • Macbook Pro Hard disk Makes an annoying sound (buzz) while working but functions properly.

    I've got this Macbook Pro 13 inch 2.4 Intel core i5 processor. After about a year the hard disk without any reason started to make an annoying sound (buzzing) while working that sometimes quiets down but when I move the laptop it starts all over again !! Also when I put it down on a side like on my bed while I'm lying on the bed it makes the same sound !! Like when I move the laptop I can hear the buzzing sound changing !! The hard disk functions pretty well though!! What's the problem? I tried Verifying and Reparing the Disk as my father suggested and that helped a bit but after like 10 minutes it's starts again. Any ideas? Have you guys ever seen such a thing before? What should I do?

    I have the same issue you're having.
    When it first happened (soon after I bought my late 2013 15" MBP), eventually my motherboard and Retina display crashed and needed to be replaced. Now after a couple of months being repaired, I started getting the same clicking sounds opening web browsers or apps, etc. I'm worried its the same thing with the motherboard and or retina display starting to fail again.
    Im going to have it checked out however like you said, It's hard to replicate on the spot.
    Please LMK if you have any updates on the cause and I'll do the same.
    Thanks!

  • TS1702 I purchased an app and got a 'waiting' message on my itouch screen.  What does this mean?

    I purchased an app and got a 'waiting' messae on the itouch screen.  What does this mean?

    You have a router that assigns IP addresses in sequential order. 
    Always turn your devices on in the exact same order and you will avoid the message.
    It is not a serious problem.
    If your router supports DHCP reservations based on MAC address of the devices that will resolve the problem.

  • I finally found the way to DISABLE the annoying sound effect in Windows

    I tried looking around the site for some answers to get rid of the annoying sound effect after a page loads in iTunes 8 on Windows Vista. I have found the answer!
    *Vista users:* Right click on your desktop, and then go all the way down and click "Personalize". Then in personalize, click "Sounds". Scroll down until you see the iTunes category. Then simply click the "Page load complete" sound and choose (None) as the sound.
    Annoying sound DISABLED.
    Hope this helps!

    I have the same problem that started about an hour ago. Firefox started sounding like pac man. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.6.3 to no avail. I guess I use IE until firefox fixes it.

  • [partially fixed] Firefox3.6 annoying sound when I click a bookmark.

    The annoying sound started happening with the 3.6 update. It happens when I click any bookmark, or menu item. How do I turn this off? I've checked out about:config and set
    accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
    liberator.saved.accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
    both to false.
    Any help would be appreciated

    I guess I will hold out on upgrading until I see this resolved. This is exactly the kind of thing that I want to avoid with Arch. Having unwanted sounds is especially bad when you don't run a sound server and therefore can only have one sound-making program at a time.
    BTW, does adding:
    gtk-event-enable-sounds=0
    to ~/.gtkrc kill the sounds? This will disable GTK sounds globally though (which may be wanted ). Firefox really shouldn't make sounds by default though!
    Editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0
    and adding the following line to it:
    gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
    and then restarting ff3.6 DOES turn the sound off, but it will turn off sound for ALL gtk apps.
