Weird internal sounds from iPod... help!?!

Last night i unplugged my iPod from the computer, immediately it started making a crunching noise that came from inside the iPod and it started vibrating... it totally froze and i couldn't even reset it. Attaching it back to the computer did nothing either.
So i left it till the morning. By then the noise had stopped. I could turn it on, but all the memory had been wiped but it still said i only had 12GB (not 30GB) of memory. It still refuses to connect with the computer and actually makes that freeze up too. Also, when left connected, it overheated to a very high level. I've tried restoring factory settings but that does nothing either
Obviously i'm worried, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what has happened and (if anything) what i can do about it.
Thanx

i'm having the same problem i came to apple.com to see if other users where having this problem last night i was listne to my iPod and the ipod was doing the same thing yours did but mine didnt freeze. it worked and the hard drive would vibrate and stop then continue again doing the same thing so i reset the iPod. but im going to take it back because i don't think thats a normal problem = (.

Sound from iPod Touch

Hi,
I just got an ipod Touch but it wasn't clear in the features guide whether the ipod touch is suppose to give out music sound without the earphones.
In the settings, it gives the option to choose either speaker, earphones or both.
So seeing that options, i chose speaker option assuming i will hear the music without the earphones. But i didn't hear any sound from the ipod touch when playing music tracks.
Am i suppose to hear music sound from ipod touch or is the speaker option for external speakers connecting to the ipod touch?
i'm worried my ipod touch is faulty.

The ONLY way to get sound from the IT is with either a headset or external speakers plugged into the audio out jack.
Unless you turn on the sound for the internal speaker, which is actually a transducer to give small alarm beeps. It won’t play music/audio.
From the iPod touch user manual, page 78.
*“Turn sound effects on or off*
Choose General > Sound Effects and select whether you want sound effects to play
over _*the internal speaker*_, through the headphones, or both.”

HT3798 no sound from IPod 5 generation but plays songs

no sound from IPod 5 generation but plays songs

Assuming your earphones are in good condition, the iPod battery is fully charged and you are not trying to play very high quality music.(not HE-AAC), when was the last time you played any music on your iPod?
Try this if you haven't yet.
Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, release the buttons, select your preferred Language.
Play your music.
Good Luck!

No sound from ipod classic

can anyone help !! my ipod classic has no sound from it at all. Not from my headset or docking station or car kit. Very annoying ! Have done all the reset stuff etc but no joy. Anyone got a better idea ? Thanks

My classic 80 GB ipod that I bought 2 years ago now has no sound at all. Initially, it came and went and now no sound. I can see that the music is playing on the screen, but no sound comes out either on earphones or dock.
no warranty anymore and don't want to have to pay $160 to fix it. I restored the IPOD but still no sound. HELP!!!!

PROBLEM - no sound from ipod

Ipod displays playing music, but no sound. Tried several different headsets. Music plays from itunes from ipod just fine.

Its def the logic board. I called Apple customer service and the woman I spoke to basically told me I was S* out of luck. She told me because the IPod is so "old" (if 5 years if really old) that they would have to special order parts and that it would cost upwards of $129 to fix.
I told her I could buy a new Ipod for less than that and owning other Apple products I am suprised to hear that they do not garuntee their products. It's blows my mind that I have old discman's, I am talk about 10-15 years old, that with a new set of Double A batteries, would work fine. However, when I asked if they could replace this product, not being damaged and minor blemishes on the exterior from its case, she responded no, that it's out of waruntee.
So I then asked her, can I expect for my Apple products to just crap the bed every three to four years and she said, "Sir, the only thing I can tell you is that your 30G Ipod Video is out of waruntee." I LITERALLY left this bad boy in my car for the 5 years I have had it in the cool glvoe box. I listened to it solely in my car becuase my Alpine deck has an attachment. This is garbage and Apple won't help you....well they will, but they will charge you an arm and a leg.

Weird tone sound from CD/DVD drive

Sometimes I hear a weird tone coming from my CD/DVD drive. It is a short tone that almost sounds like a warning tone. It does this when the drive is empty and it doesn't sound like any of the sound samples on the apple site. I have updated my firmware and recently I've had to do several force quits. Could this sound be related to that? I can still import CDs and play them in iTunes. I'm just concerned that this sound means the drive will stop working soon.
Thanks.

Hi,
My optical drive sometimes does that after a while. I don't know how to explain it, but it may be since the optical drive is not in use, it resets itself or wakes it up again. I'm not sure if this is correct.
But if you suspect it failing or you are still concerned, by all means contact Apple and see what they say.

Weird clicking sound from PB

This is not my week. Just replaced the harddrive on my PB due to a crashed drive. Before I changed the drive, I had this clicking noice, actually sounds like its coming from the speakers. But I do not think so, as no matter what I do with the volume it remains the same. Well, I did not really pay any attention to it as I assumed it was the faulty drive that caused it. Now when I changed the drive, ran a hardware test and all is ok and the PB is spinning on I realize the clicking noise is not gone. It seems to be coming from the right top side of the computer. Its sporadic, but, it never starts from the beginning when you fire the computer up. Seems like the computer needs to get warm first. Could it be the fan? How would I go about finding the source of this clicking sound, and is there a way to see if you have a faulty fan? Hope someone could point me in the right direction as I do not know where to go from here.
Thanks in advance

I just plugged in a pair of earphones, and the clicking stopped. So I guess it is the speakers after all then. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? The speakers are in good condition and are not cracked or damaged by any means. Just this clicking sound from the speakers.

Super weird crackling sounds from speaker

Hello .. I have just been sent an LG S1 laptop and I have installed arch on it successfully. Only thing is, main speaker doesnt work. I know its functionnal, cause I had heard it from the initial vista install. Now, the headphones jack does work. And also, I use to own a very similiar but somewhat lower end model, the LG T1, which uses basically the same drivers and all, but the sound did work on that one.
Now what worries me a bit is that from time to time ill hear odd crackling sounds from the speaker. At one point, when I was trying to make XGL work with KDM, it did it to the point I thought my laptop was gonna explode.
Anyway, the fact that the speaker doesnt play sounds I can kinda live with, might just be a configuration issue; the crackling sounds howevevr, even though they rarely happen are like nothing ive ever heard or seen or whatever and they kinda worry me. ..
any ideas guys ?
(the best way I can describe it would be like what an "explosion" sound on an old nintendo or other 1980 game console sounded like.. like a broken up saw wave .. very odd)

again if it means anything, I had an LG T1 not so long ago with relatively the same hardware for audio and I don't recall kernel 2.6.22 causing any problems. Only booboo with that one was that pluggin in headphones did not shut off the "external" speaker.
Now, since then I have gotten this new S1 model because the T1 had an unresolvable LCD screen issue and I got screwed by the vendor and its long story but they sent me this much higher end model, and the sound doesnt work on that one - but I cant compare with previous kernels because none other have ever run on this one, and I cant compare also because its not the same machine.
But like I said, the T1 and S1 probably have very different main boards, but the sound "hardware" is supposed to be the same - and one the T1, Im pretty sure that 2.6.22 gave me the sound I wanted.
Guess ill try downgrading later see if it works ... right now im planning a move to 64 bits anyway, and am waiting for the newer ati fglrx with AIGLX support to be released to do so ..

1. Not sure. Stuff happens.
2. Is this just the whirr of the hard drive/click of the heads as it reads data? It should settle down once it has read the file you are playing into memory.
3. The iPod battery meter is a bit eratic. When charging the display will show full after about an hour which is when the the battery has been fast charged to about 80% of max. charge. To achieve max. charge takes about 4 hours. During playback the level of the charge displayed seems to vary up & down depending on what you're doing so I don't pay it too much attention. Battery life will depend on how much time the screen is active - e.g. playing videos, backlight timeout settings & brightness, how much you use the menus etc. I haven't yet managed to make mine run out before I get home at night...

No Sound from iPod, Tried Everything

Hi Guys,
Any suggestions on what to do? About two weeks ago I would try to turn it on, got the green light, but no sound was coming out of it. (Trust me, it's not because I needed to turn the volume up
I've tried just about everything that there is to try. I'm using a 2.0 USB, so a slow USB port isn't the issue; Windows and iTunes recognizes the iPod. I've reset it many times; reformatted it, updated the iPod software, restored 3 times, reinstalled iTunes, and after all this it is still a no go.
Any other recommendations before I turn this in to get fixed/replaced?

I am having the same problem. I used itunes to put an audio book from audible on the shuffle, but the book will not play on the shuffle. I tried putting other things i.e. music from CD, music downloaded from itunes, none of it will play on the shuffle. When I press the play button the shuffle the green light comes on briefly (as long as the play button is depressed) and then goes out. No sound at all comes from the shuffle. When I plug the shuffle into the USB and look at what is on the shuffe using itunes, itunes shows the audio book and music are on the shuffle, when I press play using itunes, the music will play. I am completely frustrated! If anyone has answers please help!

No Sound from ipod.

" At that time I can play music from itunes through the computer."

Have you been through these?

If nothing helps, you can arrange online service here.

Or you could take it into an Apple store and have them take a look at your iPod.

Recovery itunes library from iPod (help PLEASE)

So I was stupid and didn't back up my iTunes library, I've now lost it all apart from a 128gb iPod.
Can anyone PLEASE advise how to transfer those songs from my iPod back into my iTunes library (iMac running OSX Yosemite)?
Much appreciate any help that can be offered...
Dan

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

A weird ticking sound from the base of my macbook pro?

My macbook pro was bought in October 2011 but I think it's the Early 2011 edition. It's an 15 inch. My problem is that I hear a weird ticking noise coming from the base of the computer. It sounds like it is coming from under the keyboard and the mouse pad. I usually hear it whenever I move it around or place my hands on the hand rest spot(?) when I'm typing. Anybody know if I should be worried or how to fix it? The sound is really annoying... Let it be known that I baby my macbook pro. I have never dropped it on the floor or slammed it on a table or something.
Thank you in advance
P.S. If it matters, I'm running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.

That could be the stepping motor in the hard drive making noise. Sometimes the noise means nothing, other times it could mean a problem with the hard drive and it could fail soon. Could be a fan out of allignment. If you can backup your data, do so. If you an get to an Apple genius bar, take it in and have the techs run some tests to find out what the noise is.

No sound from ipod shuffle?

The iPod Shuffle registers on iTune, the downloaded songs show up on the computer screen; however when I attach the ear plugs to the unit not sound emits from the ear phones, not even a hiss. What should be done?

You might want to post this in the iPod shuffle forum.
