Strange noises when ipod touch power plugged and headphones cable connected

Hi everybody,
this is my first post. It has been annoying me for a long time now.
The thin is, when I plug in the ipod via charger or USB cable and I want top listen to music while it charges i get this crackling noise and a high pitch one as background atmosphere which is ok if you listen to loud music but very annoying if you listen to calm music.
I want to connect it to my stereo and i found out that when I disconnect the power cable its allright. When I put the audio cable on the metal sufrace I just get the crackling noise without the pitch and when its plugged into usb and connected to my ipod I can modify the noise when i scroll on the touchpad. Its like scraching on vinyls but not cool.
I don't know what to do. I mean sometimes you want to listen to music AND charge your ipod right?
Has this happend to anyone?
Best regards

Well thanks for pointing me to that feature, I didn't notice it before, but nobody there really has the same problem.
They are complaining about not being able to charge and listen at the same time. This is histroy since iOS5.
I shure can listen to my music. And for example via bluetooth its no problem being connected and listen to music, even while I sychronize. But if I plug in the audio jack, and have the ipod charging I get this noises.
I hope the problem is now more precisely described.

Strange noise when iPod Touch doesn't play music...

hello dear board members
I have a weird problem with my brand new iPod Touch. As soon as there is no music
playing, I have noise in my earphones. This vanishes if I just mute the music. I wonder
wether this is a hardware probleme, i.e. interference of some kind. It's not very loud, but
it drives me crazy and I think this is not normal, is it? What could I do to remove this, or will
it be necessary to send in my ipod?

right now I'm using just the standard apple earphones. With my sony headphones,
it's a lot less noticeable. It's just that with my old 2nd gen iPod I didn't have this hissing.
I just find it weird that the headphone jack outputs a signal when there s no music playing.

XCode 3.1 Crashes when iPod touch is plugged

Hello
I had an old iPhone SDK, where there is no iPhoneOS and iPhoneOS Simulator yet ,
instead of them, it contains Aspen and Aspen Simulator.
When my iPod is connecting and xcode tries to upload app I get the
error. (i had not signed it from apple yet, it's in progress now, so i
get error during upload)
Some days ago, I download latest iPhone SDK, and after installing it,
i have a problem - when iPod Touch is plugged, xcode crashes, because it can't
get a _AMDevice...USBID symbol. at
system/library/privateframeworks/mobiledevice.framework/versions/a/mobiledevice
I tried to replace this framework, from older sdk, but the problem
does not disappear. then I replaced
developer/platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/developer/library/xcode/plug-ins/iPhoneRem oteDevice.xcodeplugin
by file from oldest sdk, from aspen platform,
developer/platforms/aspen.platform/developer/library/xcode/plug-ins/aspensupport .xcodeplugin
after doing that, xcode does not crash anymore, but when i try to
upload my app to iPod i get an error that "not provisioned iPhone OS
device is connected", and iPod does not react to this, and I noticed
that the time between clicking build'n'go and the appearing of this
error is too short, imho. i think there is no attemt to connect to the
device, but in the organizer iPod is present.
SDK was installed after updating to iTunes 7.7, BTW, iTunes also crashes during upload apps.
I can't understand how i can fix this.
So is it correct to replace new xcodeplugin, by oldest xplugin from other sdk ?
Please advise.

which build of SDK need to use ?
can someone give iPhoneRemoteDevice.xcodeplugin from developer/platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/XCode/Plug-ins
and MobileDevice from /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A
I already try some builds, but only one work with iPod, but there is no iPhoneOS platform, only Aspen
BTW, what difference beatween Aspen and iPhoneOS ?

TS1398 Ipod touch won't and never did connect. Turned off security to router. Went through troubleshooting list. Circle lines seem as if trying to connect. IP adress is obtained. Never does connect in a usable way??????????????????????????????????????????

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

ITunes 8.1 freezes when iPod touch is plugged in, unfreezes when pluggedout

I've just updated my iPod touch 1st gen to 2.2.1, it was working and syncing perfectly for two days. This morning, when the iPod touch was plugged into iTunes, iTunes froze when the iPod was recognized by the computer. I tried plugging the iPod touch out of the computer, and iTunes almost instantly went back to functioning correctly.
If I attempt to start iTunes with the iPod already plugged in, it starts up frozen and does not function. I have to use Task Manager to manually quit the process every time.
This is all still strange since the only thing different I did from last night is download several podcasts and update one app. I've tried deleting these podcasts and uninstalling the app, but to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave,
Try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it in iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
This would erase the contents of the iPod but you can check iTunes for a backup before restoring from recovery mode. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 provides more information about iPhone backups.

"no default mail client" error when iPod touch is plugged in

I use my iPod with a Mac at home and a WinXP box at work. I have a new 2G iPod touch. Whenever I plug it in at work and start iTunes, I start getting this error. The error window will pop up once or twice and then go away, at least for a while.
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
Yeah, right, like I'm going to do that. This seems to be coming from the program OutlookSyncClient.exe -- I don't have my iPod set to sync Calendars. So why is this happening and how can it be made to stop? Is iTunes trying to email someone? And why is Apple trying to get me to use a Microsoft email program? Insanity.

I just started getting that same popup error constantly, since upgrading to the latest iTunes version last night. I think in my case it's happening when the auto-sync to MobileMe is triggered. I don't have M$ Outhouse as my default mail client and don't want to make M$ Outhouse my default client, but I have been syncing calendars and contacts through it to MobileMe because it doesn't support syncing directly to the things I really use. Previously it worked OK without requiring me to make it my default client... what changed?

Com shows blue screen error message when ipod touch is plug in

hey, anyone has this problem?
when i plug in my ipod touch, a message "new hardware is found" with name (still digital cam). then the com switches to a blue screen with error messages.
i need some help please.. thanks

One cause of this is that you have saved a picture on your Touch when browsing the internet on Safari (by holding down on the image & selecting save). These saved images seem to cause a glitch and the PC thinks you have plugged a digital camera in causing the PC to crash. Don't know of an actual fix yet. The only work around is to delete the pics prior to plugging in the Touch. If you really want the pic just email it to yourself via wifi first. Funnily enough it is not a problem if the pic was on your pc and you synced it to the Touch via iTunes.

Ipod touch is disabled and says to connect to itunes, but when i do it says ipod is locked with a pass code and punch it in

You need to manually place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it in iTunes. See this article for instructions on connecting your iPod to iTunes in recovery mode.

I'm updating my iPod Touch 5th Gen and it says "Connect to iTunes" and I have, but nothing happens.

Okay, so, I unlocked my iPod and it said an update was available, so I tapped install. It wasn't connected to a power source, and I didn't think it'd make any difference if I was or not. So, I tapped it, blah, blah, blah, and then it said to connect to iTunes. So, I did, but my laptop didn't make the noise it usually does when I plug in the USB cable, so I tried it over and over again, but still the same result. I've updated iTunes to the newest version, and nothing happened still. So I decided to just cancel the update. But, now, "Connect to iTunes" will not go away from my screen no matter what I try. I've tried looking for solutions online, but none help. So, if someone could PLEASE help me fix this.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

My daughter's iPod touch is disabled and I cannot connect to iTunes

My daughter's iPod went crazy the other day making noises (she was no where around) and when I found it the message said that the iPod was Disabled and that it should be connected to iTunes.I tried this and it said that it might need an upgrade and possibly to be restored. I clicked ok but it only got so far through the software upload before it returned to Disabled. I did a little searching and tried the connect while holding the home button thinking this would work but alas - no joy! I've repeated this and gone in circles looking at discussions and now discovered that I cannot even turn off the iPod (with the slider) I held done the home button and on/off, restarted and then... you guessed it, disabled. Any help?

Have you tried following the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and summarized as:

My daughter's ipod touch is disabled and says to connect to itunes becasue she forgot her password. she hasnt synced in a long time so I cant even go onto itunes (it does not recognize the device) how do I reset her password?

we have had to reset our computer so any info on there is also erased. my daughter is in tears and I am frustrated. I have tried the basic technical support of resetting (holding the power button and the home key for 10 seconds, etc) nothing is working and we can not connect to itunes.

Here are Apple's instructions for placing the iPod in recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
You will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since yu do not have a backup. Yu can redownload some iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1212 My ipod touch is disabled and it said connect to iTunes

My ipod touch have a password and my kid disabled it, and I can't use it.. How can I unlock it?

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

3rd generation ipod touch is locked and says to connect to itunes. It will not connect to itunes because it is locked. What do I do?

My son has a 3rd generation ipod touch. He couldn't remember the passcode and locked it up. It is saying that you have to connect it to Itunes to unlock it. However, when I hook it up to Itunes, it says that you have to unlock it first. I need help in getting it unlocked! Someone please help me???

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If recovery mode doesn't work, try DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode instead using the instructions in this article.
