My iPod is freaking out

Maddie · Coach

Ugh this happened to mine. I ultimately ended up returning it. Try restoring it. If that doesn't work and it's still under warauntee, take it back.

same exact thing happend to my bf's mini. He had to send it back where it looks like they replaced it since it was under warranty. Totally sucks though!!

Did you recently add anything to your ipod? Do you use iTunes or some other way to add music? How full is your ipod? It's possible that the software is corrupted (which happens pretty often) or the harddrive's index is corrupted (also happens often). The restore procedure should fix this pretty easily.

Also you might want to pay attention to the noise coming out of the drive. If you hear *a lot* (more than normal), especially lots of clicks when there's nothing to click about, or a lot of hissing (spinning) when it's not playing anything, then there's probably a hardware (hard drive) failure. The only way to fix this is to change the hard drive, so it'll have to go back to apple for that.
