Strange noise from my iPod Classic...

I have read a lot of posts regarding the noise from the spinning up of the 160GB hard drive in the current iPod Classic. But the noise I hear comes through the headphones. I would describe it as an electronic click followed by a whir sound. These sounds completely coincide with the spinning of the hard drive. You can feel the hard drive start to spin (and hear the noise through the headphones) has you hold the iPod. I understand how the hard drive works and why it spins up as I shuffle to a new song. What i don't understand is why I can hear these noises through the headphones. I find this unacceptable. My 80GB Classic does not have this issue. Can others hear these same sound though their headphones? Is something wrong with my iPod?

I've seen this happen before with both of my iPods. It happens with downloaded music that already has the album artwork embedded and it hasn't been replaced with your own artwork. Usually, you can find the files in iTunes, re-embed the correct artwork, and re-sync and it fixes it.

  • How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?

    How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

  • Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

    I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies.  I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies.  Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic?  I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc.  Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

    So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud.  Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

    Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
    Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer.

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:

  • How do you transfer songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer? The only songs that transfer are those that I purchased on iTunes. Is there a 3rd party website or something?

    I am trying to transfer 3000 songs from my iPod Classic to my new computer. The only songs that transfer are those that I have purchased on iTunes (242 songs). All of the music from my CD collection that I have on my iPod Classic will not transfer. What (if any) is the best 3rd party website that will assist?

  • Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?

    Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?
    I have had my 30 GB iPod video for about 7 years, it was a gift and has served me well. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I brushed up against a very powerful magnet which latched onto the unit and scrambled the hardware. Sad iPod icon.
    I was told I probably need to replace the HD in order to get it back to working order. What I am wondering is, would I be able to replace it with a larger capacity drive so long as I got a unit that was slim enough to fit into the casing?

    Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
    Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
    Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.

  • How do i copy music from my ipod classic to itunes on my macbook pro?

    I have a lot of music on my ipod classic from an old computer I no longer have.  How do I copy this to my itunes library on my macbook pro so that when i synch my ipod and my computer, the music already on the computer won't be wiped out and replaced with what's in my itunes library on my macbook?  I was thinking of burning a cd from my ipod classic, then copying the cd to my computer itunes, then synching.  Is there an easier way?

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?
