Random "clicking" sound when 16GB iPod touch docked with speakers

Hi all,
My friend recently got a 16GB iPod touch. It works fine with headphones but whenever she docks it into her speakers or my own a random clicking sound can be heard. It doesn't matter if the thing is actually playing a track or not, so long as it's docked on the speakers the sound is heard. It also happens with the wi-fi switched off.
She recently paid the £12.99 for the update that adds Google maps etc. so I was thinking maybe that would update the firmware and fix the problem but it hasn't. I'm suspecting a fault with her iPod, has anyone else encountered this issue and knows of a fix short of returning it to Apple for a working one?
Thanks in advance,
8

Thanks very much, that seems to have fixed it!
Must admit I was a little skeptical but on my speakers (Altec Lansing ones) it's silent when not playing music and no distortions or clicks are audible when it is. On my friend's own speakers (some fairly anonymous brand) there is a little hissing and clicking but I think they do that with my own 1st generation Nano plugged in. She's getting some new Logitech ones, a set for her living room and another for her bedroom so hopefully that's it sorted.
Cheers again!

  • How to get rid of the annoying clicking sound of an iPod Touch Keyboard

    I just got an iPod Touch and I love it but I have a small problem with it. I'm really annoyed by the cliking sound the keyboard makes when you type. It's even more annoying that you can hear it without the headphones.
    Is there anyway I can lower down the volume of the clicking? I'd really like some help with this.

    As a note, this will remove all of the sounds effects on the iPod, not just the annoying clicking sound.

  • No sound when playing music through dock with third party apps

    Hello,
    When I try to play music on my Iphone (3G, OS 3) through dock connected external speaker devices (like the B&W Zeppelin) using third party apps, i get no sound at all. Example of external third party apps are : wifi radios, alarm-clock programs, video viewers,...
    So i get no sound at all through the dock connector using that kind of apps. Sound is ok only with Ipod, Itune (or other apple apps).
    Has anyone encountered similar problems ? Any solution would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have done that from the first day (contacting the makers of 3rd party apps)- They say they use standard components provided by Apple. So I would like to know if anybody has succeded in listening, for example, any internet radio app though a dock station connection (zeppelin, or whatever speaker system that is not using the jack), or is this functionnaly actually blocked by Apple.
    Thanks for your answers.

  • No sound on my ipod touch except with headphones

    my ipod touch worked fine this morning and now the sound for the speaker wont work on it it wont show the sound sign only with the headphones can any body help.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost

    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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Using my ipod touch 5G with speakers designed for the iPod touch 4G.

    Is there any way to do this? I just realized the bottom of my ipod touch 5G is completely different than the 4G I own, and my speakers (HK go+play micro) is made for the older version. The connector is way too large for the 5G. Is there a way to connect it, or am I stuck having to buy a new set of speakers? :/
    Thanks in advance.

    One of these adopters/cables may work. However, some docks are not compatible with either the Lightning connector or the IOS on the iPod (sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility). Thus go to the manufacturer's support site to see it it will work with the adopter.

  • 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.

  • My sister bought a 16GB iPod touch 5 and went thru all the steps to set up but then realized it didn't have a camera. So we clicked reset and erase all contents and settings. This does mean her credit card info is erased right?? Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you erase an iPod touch, your information, apps and settings are deleted and iOS is back to factory settings. If she wanted an iPod touch with camera, she should return it after erasing it. Note that the iPod touch doesn't store her credit card information

  • Screen makes small clicking sound when touched???

    sometimes, but not always, my screen on the iPhone 3GS makes a small "clicking" sound when touched. It's not a big deal, but sometimes can be annoying.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this? I don't want to go to the apple store because I've already done 3 replacements for other reason and want to avoid another. what could be wrong and causing the "clicking" I noticed if I put pressure on the frame, basically squeeze it, the clicking goes away. either something is rubbing or loose.
    Anybody else ever experience this? Is there a way to fix it?

    I believe that the safest option would be to go to the Apple store...
    I understand that it is not great to replace the phone again ....restoring from backup takes forever

  • 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?

  • I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

    If "just" is less than 14 days, you can return your iPod to Apple for a full refund.

  • The sound on my iPod touch is really quiet, really annoying!

    The sound on my iPod touch is really quiet, and i have to have the volume up at least halfway just to be able to hear it, but once I get a notification, it goes back to normal, but only until I either go into the app, unlock my iPod or change the song. It started a while ago when I was playing a game and the game crashed. Ever since then it has been really quiet. It's not the headphones because I tried them with my computer and they worked perfectly fine.

  • Itunes 7.0.2 won't auto open when an ipod is docked

    Hi
    I upgraded itunes to 7.0.2 and had no major or minor issues. Then i upgraded (as instructed) my 5th Gen Ipod to 1.2.1 and now iTunes doesn't open when the iPod is docked (in either a belkin cradle or an Apple cradle)- even though the relevant checkbox is clicked. I have unchecked the tick box, and I have also reset the ipod and started fresh, but no change.
    Its more annoying than anything especially when the feature is there but refuses to work.
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud

    I have a brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud.  I have tried different types of headphones, but get the same result.  If I jiggle the connector pin, I can get sound on both earbuds, but only on one side when the connector pin is push all the way in.
    I have an older Ipod g4 without this problem
    any suggestions?

    Try on your ipod going to Settings-General-Accessibility. Scroll down into Hearing and see that Mono Audio is off. Maybe that's the problem.

  • I'm getting a random beep sound when I hit the input button to record a turntable

    I'm getting a random beep sound when I hit the input button to record a turntable & mixer plugged into the mbox thats bleeding into the recording. How can I stop this? Please help me. It's happening if I'm recording or not, as soon as I hit the (I) input it beeps randomly.

    Thanks Jim,
    Seems to be this song. Other projects don't have this issue.
    I even took and opened the project on another computer, bounced it again and got the same "click" at the same 13 second area.
    I've bounced each track solo, listened and NO click at the 13 sec. mark
    No third party plug-ins.
    The click doesn't land close to any beginning or end of a region.
    Final mix down looks good, no peaking over 0db.
    This is making me nuts!

  • Sound distorted on iPod touch 3rd Gen

    The sound on my iPod touch is fine when listening to music until sometimes when the song changes. When the next song comes on the sound is very distorted and crackly. I have to go into my settings and turn sound check off and back on again to get it to go back to normal. This happens every 5 songs or so. I have restored the iPod and I am still having the same problem. Please help!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try Restoring to factory settings/new iPod if yo only restored from backup
